Book Review: Oath of the Bear by Diane Queenston

      When his homeland is in danger Rengar sacrifices his future to serve the Lady of Grimwald in exchange for the ability to turn into a bear. He is given longevity in exchange for his servitude, but after a century and a half he wants more than just being a protector of the forest. A woman has spiked his fancy, but he knows that he belongs to the Lady until she deems his serve rendered. 

     This is a very fast read that I can’t say much more than what is above without giving everything away. A group of men from a village strikes a bargain with a lady of the forest who grants them the ability to turn into bears to defend their home, In exchange their lives are hers. They are to live in the forest and be it’s guardians until she deems their job complete. 

     When traveling to the nearby town to have his knives repaired by the Blacksmith he meets the Blacksmith’s daughter and develops feelings for her. They are far from one sided and she is willing to stand up to the Lady if it means a possible future with Rengar. 

     The characters are sweet, there are spicy scenes, and nothing is beyond saving. There is no relationship turmoil or self sabotage like we frequently see in shifter books. Also, this book starts with the shifter origin versus just of it having been in the bloodlines forever. All in all a cute little read. 

     This book is available on Kindle Unlimited or buy it on Amazon for $2.99 by clicking here
