On the outskirts of town, bear shifter Gruff Cunningham leads a solitary life with only his cat for company. Disfigured by a horrific attack as a cub, he shuns interaction with others in favor of quietly tending his apple orchard. Now on the verge of an exciting expansion, he’s in need of someone to manage the new enterprise and cautiously sends out a help wanted ad.
Down in Harrisburg, Dustin Mowry is at a crossroads in life—between jobs, ready for a change, and looking for his place in the world. When he responds to Gruff’s advertisement, sparks fly, and Dustin quickly finds himself with a new job, a hot boss, and big problem!
While Gruff thinks the sweet human would never want him, Dustin is afraid of jeopardizing his job if he gets involved in a work related romance. Bit by bit, their undeniable attraction grows, but what will it take to overcome Gruff’s painful past and secure a happy future?
Return to Bear Creek for a fall romance that culminates in a sweet and sizzling Thanksgiving holiday you’ll never forget! (Book three of the Holiday Mates series. Contains steamy M/M content.)

4 out of 5 (very good)
BEAR CREEK THANKSGIVING is the third book in the Holiday Mates series and you don't have to have read the previous stories, although I would recommend it as they are all enjoyable and recommended by me.
In this book, we meet Gruff and Dustin. Gruff is the shifter and owner of an orchard that he is expanding to include a shop plus other additions. Dustin is a young man who can cook but also knows how to manage, well, pretty much anything.
This is a slow-burn story with no unnecessary angst or miscommunication. Gruff and Dustin have their reasons for what they do, and both of them support each other. Not only that, but Dustin (the mere human) will also defend Gruff and his choices to his last breath.
I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the series and found it well-paced throughout. A great story that I definitely recommend.
