Publisher's summary

She has everything she needs for a solo trek through the Arctic: a sledge heaped with supplies, a little magic, and evidently, the eye of a polar bear shifter—who shouldn't even exist.

Sirin is determined to find the source of magic, and nothing is going to stop her. Not expulsion from her guild, not their warnings about her certain death, and definitely not the damned polar bear stalking her through the taiga.

Berne is a simple bear. He likes spending time shifted, a good meal, and apparently, round little scientists. When his duty to protect a thousand-year-old secret is tested against the strange pull he feels toward her, Berne can't help but sink his teeth into the one solution that might let him keep his adorable prey.

For fans of determined plus-sized heroines and cinnamon-roll bear shifters, A Polar Expedition is the first standalone novella in the Shades of Sanctuary series, where the vibes are cozy, the heat is high, and the mates are monstrous. Grab a cup of tea and snuggle in because while the burn might be slow, the HEA is only a few hours away!

It’s SO CUTE

Ok so the story is amazing; adorable romance with lovable characters and quirky footnotes. 5 stars for the book overall. But the narrators really add so much to this!!! They did an awesome job and I loved every minute of it!

Accents sooo good

I first read this book when it came out in paperback. But the narrators did such an amazing job narrating it and bringing it to life. I love that they each had different accents. It just made me love the characters so much more!

She Blinded Him With Science

Gleeful Goblin Review: Ah the book that started my love affair with this author. It's been a minute since I read the book so having a chance to revisit these characters in audiobook format was a TREAT. The narrators did a great job, especially with the footnote sections which are one of the things I love most about the book version of these tales. Bern and Sirin are such wonderful matches for each other and it's a joy to listen to their quite literally magical courtship. This book especially captures the feeling of Sirin trying to condense a multitude of oral histories and her own lived experience but also make it fit as best it can into a scientific recounting with a linear flow. This book is a treat start to finish. 5/5 Stars

Excellent authorial voice and narration

This story was quite charming and the world is intriguing. I would love to hear more tales set in the same universe. The plot felt a little unfinished. There was definitely more the characters could have explored, and the big conflict just went away with a few words.

Loved this!

I loved this book so much when I first read it and listening to it is even more fun, I really loved Will Watt as Berne because I’ve previously enjoyed other books he’s narrated, and he’s so good at making each performance unique! Khristine Rivière is a new-to-me narrator but I liked her as well.
