Snatching Jackie: A Paranormal Romance (Wintermoon Shorts Book 5)

About this book
After centuries of solitude, Jabari has resigned himself to being the lone unmated bear shifter of the Frost Clan. That is, until he catches the intoxicating scent of Jackie Murphy aboard the Wintermoon cruise ship. A curvy, confident boutique owner looking for a fresh start, Jackie is the last person expecting to be claimed by a seven-foot, possessive shifter. But once Jabari’s bear recognizes her as his fated mate, the chase is on, and resistance becomes entirely futile.
What follows is an enchanting paranormal romance that masterfully balances high-stakes protection with the gentle, slow-burn discovery of true intimacy. Jabari is a refreshing departure from the typical alpha-hero; he is a beautiful, messy, and deeply insecure soul whose devotion is as fierce as his protective instincts. As Jackie is swept into the vibrant, found-family dynamics of the Wintermoon territory, she must navigate the tension between her hard-won independence and the undeniable pull of belonging.
Tessa Stone delivers a heartwarming tale that feels like a cozy homecoming for shifter fans. Whether it is Jabari building the business of her dreams or the genuine emotional vulnerability shared between them, this story proves that sometimes getting snatched is exactly the adventure you need.

As ALWAYS , I enjoy a trip to Wintermoon !!!! In this book , we meet Jackie. She is the proprietor of Big Jackie's, a clothing store for plus size women. She loves her job . And is happy to help an often ignored niche for normal sized women. But her rent just doubled !!!! Urrgh !!!!! She sees an add for Wintermoon cruise . A cost to visit the tourist island is wayyyy too much , but a cruise, she can nange. Perhaps its time for a change in scenery..... Jaberi is the last of his bear clan to find...

This was different. We got a story about a shifter man who has some insecurity. Jabari is a beautiful mess. His reaction when Jackie ran from him really touched my heart. And his bear is a big ole teddy bear. ) One person found this helpful

Okay I truly loved this story. Jabari the grumpy the loveable bear who just wants his mate. Jackie the full figured stylish diva who just wants a break. Kade and \"you sunk my boat!\" was extra comedy! )
