Bear Naked is another short story from one of my favorite series.Nikolina Aasen is a were-bear. She was first mentioned in Desperately Seeking Shapeshifter as being the betrothed of Ramsey Bjorn, an exiled member of her clan. But with Ramsey out of the picture, and her heat coming on, the Elders of her clan are exploring options that will directly effect her life. Including, using an elderly member of the clan, getting a "donation" from Ramsey or worse yet, having a married member "take one for the team" in order to ensure that her child is a bear from a good line.Tired of being lonely, and not liking any of the choices the Elders were throwing around, Nikolina decides to take matters into her own hands, and seek out a clan member who left sixteen years earlier after the death of his fiancé.Leif has left his clan and most of his humanity behind. For the past sixteen years he's been living an isolated life on a small island in the Antarctic completely wild, rarely shifting to his human form, barely remembering who or what he is.It's going to take a lot for Nico to bring Leif around, and even more to convince him to forget his grief and choose to mate with her.This was a quick fun read. I love this series. If you haven't yet read the rest of the series, I highly recommend them.
