Merissa (14068 KP) rated Bear Creek Memorial Day (Holiday Mates #5) in Books
Jun 16, 2026
BEAR CREEK MEMORIAL DAY is the fifth book in the Holiday Mates series, but you don't have to have read any of the previous ones. Characters from those books are in this one, but nothing that requires you to have read their story.
Jared was bisexual in his youth, but fell in love and married Lori. Unfortunately, their time together was short, and Jared is now living with his grief and learning how to carry on without her. He goes to the Christmas Faire in Bear Creek and is pulled on stage to do a dance with the Dancing Bears. Rowan is one of those bears, and his bear goes a little crazy when he scents Jared.
This is a low angst book, with Jared being understanding when Rowan's bear pushes, and Rowan giving Jared the time he needs. There are some s3xy scenes in here, but it is (as always) tastefully handled.
One thing I absolutely need to say - I love the amount of research that went into the pottery-making side of things. I had absolutely no idea about any of it, but I would definitely buy from Jared's store! I was honestly fascinated by it, and loved it when they could both work together.
Another great story from Mr Elliott, and definitely recommended by me.
