BOOKS & BEARS · BOOK CUB
In sultry New Orleans, Ethan Myers only plans to browse a quiet bookstore—until a tempting bear of a man walks in. One chance meeting, one risky choice: will he play it safe, or take the plunge and savor what’s in front of him?
Books & Bears
Greg Idleman writes quiet, intimate stories about men finding their way—through books, through longing, and sometimes, through each other.
Centered on the warmth of bookstores and the quiet strength of bear romance, his work explores connection, identity, and the small, defining moments that shape who we become.
His stories are less about grand gestures and more about what lingers: a glance, a question, a beginning.
Through his Books and Bears series, Greg invites readers into a world where love unfolds gently, honestly—and often when it's least expected.
