A lovely Christmas visit to Return to Bear Bluff brings Theo his mate, and a young man a second chance at a much better future.

Zara is free for Christmas for the first time in years.  She’s making the trip to Bear Bluff to visit with her old friend, Dylan.  Their friendship grew from their days at juvie, and it hasn’t diminished over time at all.  There was a time when Zara had hoped for a special relationship with Dylan, but he’d explained the mate thing for shifters, shown her his bear just to prove the point, and best friends they became and remain  She’s got her brand new teaching certificate, but no job as of yet.  So this Christmas vacation is a gift to herself to chill out and relax before letting the job hunt drive her crazy.

Theo enjoyed the work he did for Bear Bluff Construction as well as the mentoring he did as part of Dylan’s unique second chance program.  He’s a roofer by trade, and a good one.  He’s not so sure right now how good he is at mentoring though, since he’s having trouble breaking through Dominic’s silence.  He has this sneaking feeling that the kid in going to bolt, and that wold be the worst mistake he could make.  So Theo is a bit preoccupied as he arrived at Dylan’s house.  In fact, he wasn’t feeling well at all… he was anxious, excited, almost panic stricken and he kept staring at the house as if it held all the answers to the universe.  Once again, Dylan just happens to be nearby when one of his friends discovers their mate.

What follows is a touching Christmas romance with touches of family and discovery.  We’ll run into several of our old friends and catch up a bit.  Theo and Zara will slowly learn about each other and make plans that fit them perfectly.  And a young man will risk all to make a Christmas wish come true, and discover along the way that second chances can indeed be lifesaving.

If you’re looking for a fun, entertaining and touching Christmas read this season, then I’d recommend Wish Upon A Bear.  You’ll find a solid story, and some interesting situations to be worked out before the Christmas wrapping paper goes flying.
