Nice beginning to what could be a very good story. Wonderful character building for only eleven pages.
This was a sweet piece of fluff. Nothing terribly deep unless you are closeted also. I totally enjoyed Mr. Whitehall's writing style. It felt like a long yack with a friend. The ending was a nice fit considering the subject matter.
The only positive thing that I can say about this story is that it was short. I enjoy the author but I think he could have done much better.

The blurb captured my interest right away and the story kept it.
Veier has been held prisoner in his bear form, magically compelled to protect an evil king with no will of his own. When technically “freed”, his beastly nature is at the forefront, and it remains to be seen if his human side can dominate over base instinct. The only one in his corner is the new king’s brother Elrid, who has faith that Veier can overcome his past trauma and severe mistrust so that he can return back home and regain his life.
This was a slow burn - both in the healing and in the romance. I have a soft spot for gentle (or not so gentle) giants and when they’re bear shifters? All the better. The plausible progression was appreciated, and this was a thoughtful, touching fantasy tale that didn’t shy away from the brutality or the violent repercussions.
A very satisfying win showcasing that love heals and burrows deep, bringing change in the best possible of ways.
