A Bear Under The Christmas Tree #3
The Alpha's Beary Special Christmas
The magic of Christmas will sparkle when you least expect it.
Human omega Riley has been on the streets since his company shut down last Halloween. He was just getting by with overtime and extra shifts as it was, so when he was handed his final paycheck and showed the door, he knew nothing would ever be the same. He was right. Sleeping in his car and sneaking into the local gym to shower isn't how he expected to spend the holidays. But the holidays don't mean much to guys like Blake. They're all just days to survive.
Alpha bear Blake has heard one Christmas song too many. He's not in the mood for jingle bells or frosted cookies, but the non-profit he volunteers at is known for its holiday cheer, which means putting a Santa hat on his bear and letting kids climb all over him for photo ops and presents. So when he comes across a human almost frozen in the back of a beat-up car, he knows what he has to do.
Save the omega. Save his mate.
The Alpha's Beary Special Christmas is the third book in the A Bear Under The Christmas Tree shared world by Aria Grace, Lorelei M. Hart, and Colbie Dunbar. It is a sweet with knotty heat mpreg shifter Christmas romance featuring a human omega who doesn't believe in the magic of Christmas, an alpha bear shifter who immediately recognizes him as his mate, true love, fated mates, snow, Christmas cheer, a heated pregnancy, and an adorable baby cub.

“I don’t need more time to know you’re it for me. My mate for life.” - Riley
Warnings: MPreg
1st Person, Dual POV
3rd Act Break Up: No
Slow-burn: No
HEA: Yes
MC sex without other MC(s): No
Spice: 2/5
Angst: 1/5
Fluff: 4/5
Structure/Format/Flow: 3/5
Overall: 3/5
Sexual Intimacies:
Main Characters:
Riley: Human Omega, Homeless
Blake: Bear Shifter Alpha, Doctor
My Opinion: Cute and short. I think it made a good skeleton of a book, but that’s to be expected when books are as short as this. I felt like I wanted more of everything. More past information, more spice and spicy scenes, more coverage of the MCs relationship. This was a nice filler read while taking a quick break between full length novels. There is an epilogue where we get to meet the baby, Audrey. I enjoyed it, probably won’t read it again but nevertheless I did not regret it.

I loved it!
This was the perfect way to close an out this trio of stories. Riley is such a sweetheart. I’m so glad he has an alpha that appreciates him.

A short Christmas story.
I liked the plot, even though it was cliché. But the author didn't develop the story, since he had a magical cure for his problems with a dick and they lived happily ever after.
I don't know what goes through these authors' heads, but that's it, let's move on to the next one. It's Christmas, or almost.
Dual POV. Riley and Blake.
Human Omega and Bear Shifter Alpha.
Mpreg/Heat/Knot.
Abandonment by parents.
It's not a distressing book, there's a slight distress at the beginning when Riley's living conditions are reported. Very mild, since the author doesn't focus on that, it's a means to an end.
Predestined companion/Instant love.
A read without much emotion. There are sex scenes, but nothing hot. There's no drama or suffering after the couple gets together.
In short, Aria Grace.

So cute
Oh my gosh, this was so cute! I couldn't put this sweet Christmas story down and read it in one sitting. Riley has pretty much given up after having a horrible few months. Blake is a doctor volunteering at a shelter when he meets Riley. He refuses to let Riley freeze in his car so he takes him home, confirming what his bear already told him. Riley is his mate. Loved this story!
