Bear’s Heart by Jane Porter

 ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–/5



Bear’s Heart by Jane Porter, book two in the The Calhouns & Campbells of Cold Canyon Ranch series, is a heartfelt, and emotional story about how far someone will go for love.

 

Josie Calhoun, a design intern in her last year of college, wants to help former champion bull rider Braden “Bear” Anderson; who was left paralyzed by a dreadful accident. After a long rehabilitation, he retreated to his Montana log cabin, only to realize it needs major renovations to accommodate his wheelchair. He’s gruff, unhappy and still learning to deal with his disability. Josie offers him suggestions on what needs to be done at the cabin. She has a lot of ideas mostly because her brother and father and both in a wheelchair and she needs a design project prior to graduating; one not connected to her internship. She knows how to think outside the box and visualize what will work for her clients.  Bear offers her an alternative for her project: retrofit a house in Marietta and design a facility for the company he wants to establish to help others with spinal cord injuries.

 

Josie is exactly who Bear needs to help facilitate this project; not only does he need a designer, he is in need of a special person in his life, one who puts him first, but doesn’t know it yet. She knows what it takes to love someone in Bear’s condition. The story takes you on an emotional roller-coaster as Bear and Josie spend time together, get to know each other, becoming a impressive team as they balance each other; eventually finding forever love.

It was fun hearing about the ice cream shop and the other stores and shops in Marietta. The additional secondary characters, Noah, Savannah, Rye & Ansley, and the rest of Josie’s family added depth and obstacles to the story. I know Savannah didn’t play a part in the story, but I wanted to know more about her future and what happens to her baby. I had an idea, but know it was up to Ms. Porter and wonder if she will be featured in another story in this series.


I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
