Rating: 4 out of 5

Nikolina is a single were bear in a clan with no single males.  She is going into heat when she overhears the elders discussing her situation. They agree to pair her with a mated male to ensure she has a cub, and she decides that is totally unacceptable. Her only option is to get away from the clan and find Leif, who left the clan sixteen years earlier when his fiance died. Nikolina tracks him to Antarctica and catches a ride on a research ship going that way.  But when she finds Leif, she realizes he has gone feral and Lina is faced with the very real possibility that she won't be able to reach his human side or realize her dreams of having a mate, home, and family.I really enjoyed this novella. Lina and Leif make a very likable couple and the elders are archaic, power mad and easy to dislike.  This is the only book I have read from the series, but I had no trouble following it.  I have put it on my reread and recommend lists.
