The first day of Mia’s new life in Grayslake, Georgia is not going as planned. The house her grandfather left her looks ready to crumble, boxes cover every inch of the floor and—oh—there’s a bear cub in her pantry. It gets worse when the cub’s uncle comes by and busts out his fur and claws while on her front porch. Then it gets loads better because suddenly there’s a hot hunk of badge-wearing werebear on her lawn ready to rescue her. Yum. Of course, he has to ruin things by trying to take the cub out of her hands. Ha! The cub is hers… No ifs, ands, or bears about it.

Werebear Ty can’t seem to get the curvaceous, delectable Mia to understand that, even if she is one-quarter werebear, she isn’t keeping the cub. Ty is the Grayslake Itan, the clan’s leader, and the little werebear is going home with him… Unless it isn’t. It’s her smile. If she’d stop smiling and being gorgeous, his inner-bear would support him and Ty would get his way. But the beast wants to make their woman happy, so it’s perfectly content to let her do as she pleases. Then things change. Threats arise, danger comes close, and Ty demands she return to his den. No ifs, ands, or mates about that.

Tamara’s Review
This is the first book of Celia’s I have read and man, I don’t know how I’ve missed this lady before! I love paranormal romance and No Ifs Ands or Bears was a great one. It had all the elements I love in Paranormals: Humor, suspense, and heat!

Mia was one kick ass heroine. My favorite line “Let me say this in a way a bear can understand, MINE.” Mia may be ‘mostly’ human, but she definitely has the heart of a bear. I adored her. She walks into any situation and takes no shit and she is the only one brave enough to stand up ti the Itan, our hero. I could just see her flick his bear nose and say “no” while the clan looks on and waits for her to be lunch!

Ty was a great hero too. A good and fair leader. He actually garnered my sympathies, because his life is not his own, the clan consumes his time and his thoughts, but when he meets Mia, all bets are off. I loved the back and form between Ty and his bear as they argue about how to win their mate.

I have a new author on my auto-buy list (I’ve already bought 3 books from her backlist) Wow! A great read!
