Polar Outbreak: A Barvale Clan Tale 2 (Barvale Clan Tales) Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 364 ratings

She's looking for a mate who can handle all of her. He's the only Bear who can!

Locke Nanouk is one big Polar Bear Shifter. At seven-feet three-inches tall and half again as wide, he towered over most everyone he met. The largest of his triplet brothers, he was used to being the odd man out.
He never imagined he'd find happiness in Barvale, where the local female population tended to duck and hide whenever he entered a room, but then she walked into his life.

Nita Jacobs is a Black Bear Shifter living in Barvale. Dating isn't easy for the six-foot tall, small business owner. Picture her surprise when she finds her mate in the seven foot plus Polar Bear!

But what's a she-Bear to think when her mate tucks tail and runs every time he sees her? No matter, Nita is determined to claim what's hers despite the mixed signals Locke is sending her way.

Bundle up Barvale, there's a polar outbreak headed to town!

A sassy career orientated women with her own mind.
As I often find with Ms Gorri's book's, her natural flair and descriptive style will keep you glued to the action, events and fun-loving entertainment found within the storyline and her fascinating characters. Even though this was a reasonably quick read, you're pulled into the plight these two characters find themselves in.A perfect description of a career orientated women who has a strong willed personality meeting a somewhat unsure man, what could possibly happen between the two of them.Nita knows what she wants, but seems to scare all the males away, so what is a girl meant to do.Nike a gorgeous polar bear who feels his size and bad boy looks scare the ladies away believes he is not destined to find a mate.Let's just say a woman who runs her own business knows what she wants when she sees it, can this determined strong woman get her man.I am not going to give away any spoilers, but trust me when I say this truly is an amazing read. Pop out and grab your copy today.
Thank you for your feedback

    I absolutely loved this exceptionally written story of two lost souls that need their other half, they think they are too big/not enough for others. This wonderful characters have an interesting meeting with some interesting responses to each other - he initially runs away. He makes it up to her when her lunch plans fall through and then they admit they are mates - he leaves again. What is she doing wrong and will she forgive him for his stupidity. This story has wonderful twists/turns, problems, non-communication and love. A must read story

    I really do love these polar bears. They are rough and tough, big and bold, unpolished and totally alpha, but they melt into a pile of mush as soon as they meet their mates. I think Locke is probably my favorite because the author hid this sweet gentle soul in the body of this over seven foot tall giant. She couldn’t have created a better mate for him when she brought Nita into his life. She is tall and proud and alpha herself. I love the family dynamics, could there be a match made in heaven for Maya among the triplets, and the intensity of the story. This author has a way with words that makes a story real enough you wish there was such a place. I can’t wait to read the next book when she takes us back to Barevale and we get to see what shenanigans those bears get up to.

    Locke is typical of taller than talk men. He felt awkward and off-putting. Nita felt the same insecurities but !earned to love all of herself. To get her they make quite a pair.

    Locke and Nita...Can a seven and a half foot tall polar bear shifter find the strength to mate a black bear shifter who knows what she wants and plans to get it? Polar Outbreak is a highly entertaining story. I love the characters and the drama they face. There's a bit of humor thrown in for good measure. Grab a copy today!

    Locke is such a gentle soul for such a big guy. Feel for him when he is afraid that he will never get his Mate because women are afraid of his size. Nita is similar in that she is also larger than life in all ways and afraid she will never find a Mate who will accept her. Love how they meet, and can’t wait for the other brothers to get their HEA as well.

    This is a very good, well written shifter romance with a couple of surprises. If you think finding your mate means life gets easier, read this story. Rita and Locke have had problems in the past with dating due to their individual size. Hope you read and enjoy their story.

    Locke & Nita love story with all the twist and turns throughout will keep you blue to the book until the very end. They both have the same problem of being tall, but Nita is better at being okay at it then Locke cause all his life his height has been a problem.

    Omg I love Locke! He is a gentle giant who is struggling with how people perceive him. He is a massive man which makes women leery of him.

    In comes Nita who is Locke’s mate. This is the moment she has been waiting for but it doesn’t go as she hoped. However nothing will stop her from claiming her mate. Not even him!

    This book had me gripped and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Meeting, Mates and Consequences
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2020
    Polar Bear Locke is at the Barvale bar with his younger brothers when his youngest brother is slapped by one of two women for his rudeness.

    Heading overall to apologise, he realises that she is his mate. Uncertain that she would not be afraid of him, as he is very tall and well built, he leaves.

    Nita Jacobs is aware that the big shifter is her mate, but thinks he wants nothing to do with her. Calmly she continues to get ready for the following day when her new business opens.

    Problems occur after Locke and Nita sort things out. Nita's father demands explanations, a phantom caused trouble and suspicions are confirmed. It doesn't take long to clear things out before all ends well.
