Interview with Reece Barden, Author of Mated to the Mountain Bear

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Mated to the Mountain Bear?

I LOVE a grumpy, reluctant hero, and there is nobody more reluctant to take a stranger into his house in the dead of the night than Ben Lennox. Not because he’s not a good guy—he is—but because he takes one look at her and knows his loner lifestyle is about to be turned on its head.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I read a lot of romantic suspense and mafia romance, but I don’t get to read as much as I want anymore!

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

Mountain Man by S.J. Tilly and the Daydreamer series by Susie Tate.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Definitely the sexual tension buildup at the start, where Zara doesn’t understand why she’s so hot and bothered around Ben, and she can’t escape him in this tiny one-bedroom cabin on the side of a mountain. The pheromones are making her a bit frisky!

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Feel the fear and do it anyway.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

All that sexy, torturous angst in Ben’s small, remote cabin.
