Let me tell you a little bit about Tia Fanning's Oriana and the Three Werebears, which is a Tia's take on the Fairy Tale Goldielocks and the Three Bears. This story is about three reclusive and secretive brothers who happen to live in a reserve in Kodiak, Alaska. Three seriously hot, sexy and deliciously naughty brothers who ALSO happen to be shape shifters working for the government and who are all in need of a woman. Thing is that they have decided that only one woman will be able to satisfy all of them, and she will be their ONE. They turn into Kodiak bears, all shifters for generations unexplained and Goldilocks is none other than Oriana, a fetish model turned Veterinarian turned pilot. Her father's passing tore Oriana up as she gave her up life to come back home and care for him in his last dying months. Knowing that he wanted her to take over his business as an Alaskan pilot she did just that, until one day things went horribly wrong, almost resulting in her death by freezing out in the Alaskan wilderness. But what do you know, she stumbles upon a bunker and works her way in to find food waiting for her on the table and a warm bed to welcome her weary and beaten up body.The brothers come home to find her sleeping in the youngest, Jon's bed and it is love at first sight for him. He is the youngest and the jokester of the bunch. Never taking anything too seriously, but Oriana soon finds out that Jon is very serious in the bedroom, seriously dominant. Without a doubt I found his relationship with computer geek brother Jordan absolutely the most entertaining, so comical, I laughed out loud a couple of times their hilarious banter captures the essence of both brothers and their distinct personalities. Jordan is a little more hesitant, but knows in his heart there is something about this strange woman that he can't control. So many feelings that he tried to repress and be his ever so scientific and practical self! Then there is Jack the eldest and the den leader, alpha male to the bone, he knows that their jobs with the government are in jeopardy and at first suspects Oriana could be a possible spy.What I found the most endearing was that Oriana accepted, although at sometimes with a lot of self doubt, that there was something strange going on with these three. How could she feel so attracted and generally just like all of them so much. And it only complicates things when she can't help but let all her feelings and desires take control. What happens next with three beautiful and powerfully sexy and sensual men will change her world forever. But they are keeping a secret from her that could make her run back home fast. That they are werebears, do they trust her, do they scare her to death? Only one way to find out! And what fun, Tia Fanning has created such a truly FUN and Sexy, Sexy, Sexy story that I was completely transfixed into their world. And truly sorry the story has ended, frankly I just wanted more with such captivating characters and sensual scenes I couldn't get enough!
