Still keeping in line with the 'Fated Mates' #trope in #romance, here is the subcategory where the fated mates are bear #shifters. Each is book/series is distinctly different but enjoyable in their own right.
Candance Ayer's series of Russian Polar bears that find themselves trying to survive the stifling heat of the Florida Keys is comical and wonderful as they all come across their mates in a variety of unusual circumstances. Slone Meyes series of shifters are thrown into situations helping women that they then fall desperately in love with, only to face the dilemma of giving up their peaceful mountain existence for the mate they have been given. Mina Carter's is a 'friend to lover' story with plenty of romantic tropes that has you on your toes and hoping for that HEA.
There are plenty of other bear shifter stories out there, and I personally love the personalities that come along with the dynamics that exist within the bear community.
P.O.L.A.R series by Candace Ayers
AMAZON BLURB
From Book 1:
Serge's unit is on thin ice. No more screw-ups or there will be dire consequences. Hannah is on an eat-pray-love journey. Traveling the trans-Siberian railway, she's searching for meaning. The heat between these two can melt the polar ice caps. But pursuing his mate might land Serge and his team in hot water. P.O.L.A.R. (Private Ops: League Arctic Rescue) is a specialized, private operations task force—a maritime unit of polar bear shifters. Part of a worldwide, clandestine army comprised of the best of the best shifters, P.O.L.A.R.’s home base is Siberia…until the team screws up and gets re-assigned to Sunkissed Key, Florida, and these arctic shifters find themselves surrounded by sun, sand, flip-flops, and palm trees.

Bear Mountain Shifters series by Sloane Meyers
AMAZON BLURB
First, meet bear shifter Joel Bennett. By choice, he lives alone on the unforgiving mountain—but when Anna shows up near his cabin and needs rescuing, Joel’s inner bear roars that she’s his fated lifemate. He vows he won’t take a full human as his mate, but when a blizzard forces him to share his small cabin with this mysterious but beautiful woman, Joel’s resolve starts to break down.
Then, bear shifter Scott Mitchell crosses paths with Caroline, a beautiful human who awakens his inner bear like never before. He knows she’s his fated lifemate, but she’s been warned to stay away from him and everyone on Bear Mountain. Scott must find a way to show her that she has nothing to fear from him, before she disappears from his life forever.
Next up, is bear shifter Evan Long, who drives all over the country as a long-haul trucker. But only a few miles from home, he meets Jackie. His inner beast won’t stop roaring to claim her, but can Evan convince Jackie to leave behind her ordinary life and embrace everything his mountain—and his loyal bear heart—has to offer?
Then, meet Wyatt Gray, a stubborn bear shifter whose life is chaotic enough without adding a lifemate to the mix. At least, that’s what he thinks until Lacey walks into his life and sends his bear into a frenzy. Wyatt resists, certain that destiny has made a mistake. But when she ends up in a life-or-death situation, Wyatt rises to the challenge of saving her. No matter how many walls Wyatt puts up around his heart, he can’t hold back the insatiable need he has to protect her…
Finally, join the shifters of Bear Mountain for the series grand finale. The tension between Bear Mountain and the nearby city of Pine Springs has built to a breaking point, and it's time for our beloved bears to fight for what's theirs. When the dust settles, it's time for the happiest of happily ever afters, as another of the mountain’s bears finds a fated lifemate in an unexpected way…

Claimed by the Bear (Banford and Beauty Bears) by Mina Carter
AMAZON BLURB
Tall, dark and handsome, she’s watched him from afar for years...
Back in Beauty after a broken engagement, Kaitlyn Turner has two things on her mind: regaining her independence and having a good night out with her bestie. Only somehow, their celebrations include hitting up the local tattoo parlour. The Tattoo parlour run by Creed, her late brothers best friend. Hot as Hades, he’s the one man she knows she can’t have, but the one she’d kill to have look at her as more than a kid sister.
Petite, curvy, beautiful…and human. She’s everything he wants, and everything he can’t have.
Werebear Creed is a loner in the Beauty bear clan. Tall, powerfully built, and mean as hell, he holds rank as an enforcer despite the fact his bear prefers to stay well hidden. No matter, he can enforce pack rules in human form… even against fully shifted bears. They might call him a half-skin but no one wants to piss him off. Ever.
