“I promise to fight for us, no matter how hard our life gets. Cause life without you….” He closes his eyes as if in pain. “It would be unbearable.” He opens his eyes. “I’m in love with you, Angel.”
Unbearable picks up where Undescribable left off. Samantha's mother has passed away and we find she and Slade staying in her mothers home while packing the house up and making funeral arrangements. Samantha is having a very hard time with things and her emotions are both all over the place. Slade tries his best to be there for Samantha but it seems like everything he does just isn't good enough. But he makes it his mission to keep his angel as comfortable as possible.
As if that weren't difficult enough, people for their past come into play and the claws come out full force. We meet Tate, a childhood friend from Samantha's past who shows up out of nowhere. Slade is none too pleased with the fact that Tate makes himself readily available to Samantha, but he learns to control his emotions for his angel. It isn't until Tate confides in Slade about a profound family secret, which involves Samantha, that he begins to accept Tate. Then theirs crazy Jessica from Slade's playboy days... Yea, she makes her appearance and gives one last ditch effort at coming between Slade and Samantha. I still want to shank that BEYOTCH!
Can I just say, I LOVE SLADE so much more now!!!!! As if that were even possible!!! We get to see a much softer side to him in Unbearable and his love for Samantha is REAL! He was 100% devoted to her every need and he really manned up. Now was he perfect? No...but no one is! I wish I could have said the same for Samantha though. I felt like she bitched and complained the entire book and I found myself teetering on the edge of not liking her. But she does tend to redeem herself towards the end of the book. Overall, I do believe Slade and Samantha grew leaps and bounds as a couple and I cant wait to see how they blossom even more in the next book in the series. I want some Slademantha babies!!
I love a book with strong supporting characters and Unbearable had just that! I liked getting to know Slade's family more but my favorite was getting to know yummy Tate. In fact, the author is writing a book about Tate and his HEA! Super excited for it!!
Shantel Tessier definitely delivered in Unbearable! I gave it 4.5 stars!

The content was too detailed, going into detail about things that were immature. Also found it boring as an adult reader

4.5 Unbelievably Sexy Stars
Reviewed for Give Me Books Blog
The ending to Undescribable left my heart completely split. Samantha faces a devastating loss while at the same time she and Slade finally confess all the feelings they both have kept inside. My heart fluttered at how responsive Slade was to be at Sam’s side. But boy am I glad we received more of their story in Unbearable. Book 2 picks up right from the emotional ending of Undescribable. Sam is more shattered than ever; torn between sorrow and guilt. Losing someone is beyond difficult to deal with. Shantel Tessier does an exceptional job portraying the emotions one battles with—Stages of Grief. Where Undescribable ended with Sam overcome with anger/disbelief, most of the beginning of Unbearable the guilt consumes Sam.
”I will forever regret my actions and selfishness.” She wipes her eyes again.
“No one can love someone as selfish as me,”
This pity party she throws is justifiably understandable and heart aching to witness. Sam had left her mother behind following high school in pursuit of her dreams of college and a future. When we first heard things about her mother in book 1 I was completely on Sam’s side, her mother sounded awful, then secrets unravel and your heart can’t help but break for Sam. She had been kept in the dark for so many years, she had ignored her mother felt unloved for so long; yet to discover the extent of her mother’s love too late to reciprocate her feelings and or to rebuild their relationship.
While Sam is a broken mess, Slade is at a complete loss of what to do, being new to the whole boyfriend act. But damn for someone so inexperience in that department, Slade is a strong, reliable, compassionate, shoulder for Sam to lean on. Although this man had me sexually frustrated for the first portion of the book, I didn’t find myself annoyed yet I respected the heck out of him. Sam is numbed by her regrets and pain, so she tries desperately to get Slade to have sex with her to “make her feel something,” Slade isn’t fooled
Swoonattack right? The only downfall I had was Slade lack of communication with Sam when it came to turning her down for sex. She was already in a vulnerable state, and the constant turn down evokes all sorts of insecurities in Sam. In addition, Slade is a helluva sexy protective alpha we already knew that, he craves being in control in and out of the bedroom; however his need to take care of Sam influences a lot of fights between the two. There are many times his actions (packing up her old house, moving furniture, etc) is thoughtful and helpful then over times he comes off a tad suffocating. All he wants is to prevent Sam from feeling anymore pain which just has you “Awing” out loud but him trying to dictate her working arrangement has you shaking your head and standing behind Sam 100% “You tell him girl!”
Slade isn’t the only who tries to put Sam in a bubble, her best friend Courtney is full of concern for her friend but goes about it the wrong way which causes her and Sam to clash. All the secondary characters are back full force in this book. Shantel does an amazing job using Micah and Josh as a comedic relief those two men are freaking hilarious yet mature at the same time. Holly was already on my Awesome Gal Pal radar but after this story I have to have her as bestie!! She and Sam form a stronger connection in this book and eventually all three Holly, Courtney, and Sam become the Terrific Trio of bffs. We are also introduced to a new deliciously enticing, mysteriously intriguing, tatted hotness of a man—Tate. Shantel definitely succeeds in meshing in Tate, making his presence known, while being sure not to steal the spotlight from Slade and Sam’s story but embedding him in the back of your mind “He has to get his own story” constantly goes through your head.
The beginning-middle does progress slowly but then our kick ass strong independent Sam pulls herself out of her rut and realizes beating herself up isn’t the way to live. Things get leg squirming hot, steam fogs up your kindle screen; Slade and Sam finally get on the same page. He can see she really is trying to move forward. Holy panty wetting, this man’s mouth *I’m drooling too much to form words*
”Wake up and come for me….I want you to spend all day today remembering that I fucked you senseless.”
*Hands raised* Um can I be woke up like that? Screw alarms I want Slade Long to wake me up!!
Things haven’t been simple for Slade and Sam, so it should as no surprise that just when things seem to sailing that road blocks appear; blocks in the form of Slade’s whorish past. Sam amazes me, she is aware of the playboy past of Slade’s and she learned to accept it. Jealousy doesn’t rear its head often from her, and if it does she deals with it maturely in my eyes rather than going all “Bitch fit” she gets over it quickly and if she not Slade helps her get over it
“I love when you’re like this…All pissy and needing me to remind you where your place is.”
“Where’s that?”
His eyes lock on mine and they look hard. “Wherever I want you,” he says blandly and it turns me on even more. “On your knees before me. Flat on your back underneath me. Or on all fours as I’m behind you.”
Now don’t get the wrong idea, Slade doesn’t solve everything with sex (even though this man is amazing in bed) he also uses his heart melting words to reassure Sam of his feelings
”The only thing I have ever done right when it came to woman was fall in love with you.”
Secrets continue to plague the couple as do threats. Also, there are people from both Sam and Slade’s past that do not want to see these two happy. Both Slade and Sam keep things from one another, Sam more so. There were many fights that could have been avoided if these two communicated better; however, both so worried about the other they put the safety and sanity of the other before their own.
Shantel Tessier keeps you on edge from midway through to the ending. Her writing continues to blow me away. The emotions are described with such perfection you yourself experience what the characters feel. Not only do you see growth from both Sam and Slade but the progression of their relationship is realistic. Their love truly does have battles to conquer; portraying the complexities of a real relationship. Nothing comes easy for these two, life can be unfair, people can meddle, but as long as you have love it’s all worth the fight. But their tests are far from over, your heart swells with joy for this couple toward the end, then BAM a person from left field comes out to play leaving you with anxiety of what is come in book 3. I NEED Uncontrollable now please Shantel! Patience is not a virtue I have mastered. I definitely recommend this series. I cannot wait to see how Slade and Sam’s story ends. These two deserve nothing less than a HEA!

Slade and Sam's story ends on a very heartbreaking note in Undescribable. Sam has just lost her mother, and is completely alone & broken until she finally realizes that she isn't alone because Slade loves all of her.
What happens when someone passes? How do you move on? What happens when the mother you thought hated you didn't, and now you feel like the most selfish person that ever existed? These are all questions that Sam asks herself, and has to try to move forward.
Even though Sam has no more family, she has support from Slade, the Long family, and their friends. What she does have a hard time with is her best friend, Courtney. She thinks she knows everything and can't understand that Sam is "okay." There were times I just wanted to yell or slap her myself!
Slade, oh Slade, is still the hot guy he was in book one, but he is genuinely in love with Sam. That makes me love him even more! He is possessive of her to a fault at time, but does what he thinks she needs. There is a side of him that comes out that I wasn't so sure of to start, but it fits Slade and Sam's relationship. They both need each other, and Sam loves the control that Slade has over her in the bedroom.
There are a few new characters in Unbearable. Tate is the one that will stand out, and leave your head spinning. Seriously, Shantel, I knew there had to be something about him in Sam's past, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it! That was a good one, and I can't wait to see what else unfolds.
Missy, I just love her! I just keep hoping that she gets her forever with a certain someone. *hint*
Jessica that B**** needs to get over herself and Slade! I think I would have lost it long before Sam. But it works out for the best.
There are several events within the book that will leave you hot, wanting more, crying, hoping that Slade and Sam get their forever, and an undercurrent of freaky events that will have you questioning everyone. I will say that Slade stole my heart with an event in NYC, but the book ends with an WTF moment. You will be begging for Uncontrollable. 5 starts easily for Unbearable!

4.5 Star Review
Unbearable picks back up right where Undesricbable leaves off, Shantel Tessier left no questions unanswered. Like many others I assumed we were getting Josh and Courtney’s story. I figured Slade and Sam were done! I was wrong. Unbearable was jam packed full of lust, secrets, lies, sex and a whole lot of drama!
Sam spent her whole life feeling unloved; the one person who is supposed to love you unconditionally bailed on her, her mother. When Sam learns that sometimes things aren’t what they seem, it is too late. Sam doesn’t know how to forgive herself for not trying harder to see things for what they truly were, LIES! How can she grieve for someone you already let go? Sam struggles with accepting life and pushes away Slade, her handcuff loving sex god of a boyfriend.
Slade has his own past. No matter how much he has changed his whoring ways, the skeletons continuously keep coming out of the closet. How can he build a relationship with Sam when people keep interfering?
Unbearable has the same amazing characters, and then added a couple new ones in the mix. Including the hot sexy Tate. WOW! He is a whole lot of sexy, I am pretty sure Shantel plucked him directly out of my fantasies! I am wishing and hoping he gets his own book. With the good comes the bad! Some of the old characters in the book come back with a vengeance. They are like a bad case of the crabs and they just won’t go away and cause nothing but pain and suffering. I seriously wanted to jump inside the book and put a smack down on a couple of them!
Unbearable was everything I hoped it would be and more. It was an amazing read that never had a dull spot! I would give it a 4.5 Star.

After reading Undescribable I was ready to continue Slade and Samantha's story.
I felt like this started off quite slow, during Sam's mourning for her mother but as she came to terms with her loss, the story improved for me. I liked the old fiesty Sam more than the one who didn't seem to care, although it was very understandable after what she went through.
The twists kept me hooked until the end of the book, especially Jessica's messages and Tate's secret. I was very eager to find out how that would end. I suspected Tate's secret before it was revealed and I'm looking forward to Samantha's reaction when she also learns the truth. I also want Slade to find out about Jeremy but I know that he will be furious at Sam for not telling him when it happened.
I often felt like Slade and Samantha used the physical side of their relationship to just bury their problems instead of sorting through their issues. This seemed a little unrealistic to me. How could Sam be so mad one minute to begging for Slade the next?
I will definitelybe reading the last installment when it is released. I'm very interested in seeing if they can overcome the last obstacles that stands in the way of their happy ending. I hope they get the ending they deserve.
Anyone who loved the first book in this series will enjoy this read. Once again, due to certain content, I'd recommend this book to people aged 18+. Another five star read!

Samantha is trying to come to terms with her mothers death.
I understand she is grieving but she was getting on my nerves pushing Slade away, BTW where can i get me a Slade that man is so swoon worthy. Slade is trying his best to help her and really has no idea how too. A few family secrets come out in this book. this one is so good. make sure you read book 1 first. to understand the story. another well written book from Shantel.
a childhood friend reappears leaving her with more questions. which do get answered.
On to book 3
I like all the characters well apart couple I dislike.

Unbearable
is the second book in Shantel Tessier’s trilogy Undescribable. I loved the first book Undescribable and was excited to get my hands on next chapters in Slade and Samantha’s lives.
The second book starts right after where the first book left off. Samantha is dealing with all the secrets from her past and struggling with the death of her mother. Slade is there right by her side and tries his best, but the grief and guilt Samantha is carrying is heavy. Will their love, passion and love be enough for them to get through the challenges ahead of them?
My list of ♥ and ☹’s for :
♥ Sweetness: Slade showed that the changes he went through in Undescribable were solid and that his love for his angel has no ends. His patience, man, I wish I could have had even an ounce of that. This was one of the many sweet things about Slade in this book that melted my heart.
♥ Fire of passion: The passion between Slade and Samantha is as strong as always. There are times where the struggles they are facing are getting in the way and colors their views. But in the end they were always fighting for each other and I loved that.
☹ Questionable decisions and reasoning: Ok. So why did I not love this second installment? The choices the characters in this book made, pissed me off a lot of the time. Sometimes I just wanted to throw my Kindle at the wall because of their stupidness. These parts of the book, annoyed me enough to color my opinions of this book.
I wanted to love this book as much as I loved Undescribable, but unfortunately I didn’t. I put a lot of the blame for this on myself, as I believe hitting another somewhat cliffy colors my rating and opinions of this book. I found myself thinking this was dragging and sometimes I thought this would be better left alone with tops two books. I was also disappointed in how much I found myself disliking Samantha in this book, when I loved her in the first one. I hope the final installment Uncontrollable will redeem this series though and make me love it as much as I did after reading the first book.

♥ Fire of passion: The passion between Slade and Samantha is as strong as always. There are times where the struggles they are facing are getting in the way and colors their views. But in the end they were always fighting for each other and I loved that.
☹ Questionable decisions and reasoning: Ok. So why did I not love this second installment? The choices the characters in this book made, pissed me off a lot of the time. Sometimes I just wanted to throw my Kindle at the wall because of their stupidness. These parts of the book, annoyed me enough to color my opinions of this book.
I wanted to love this book as much as I loved Undescribable, but unfortunately I didn’t. I put a lot of the blame for this on myself, as I believe hitting another somewhat cliffy colors my rating and opinions of this book. I found myself thinking this was dragging and sometimes I thought this would be better left alone with tops two books. I was also disappointed in how much I found myself disliking Samantha in this book, when I loved her in the first one. I hope the final installment Uncontrollable will redeem this series though and make me love it as much as I did after reading the first book.

Damn You Shantel!!! Gah,Is all I can say!!
**ARC**
Rating is 5 out of 5 Life’s Twists & Turns
I can not even begin to explain the crazy set of emotions that I had while reading. I was all over the place with my gut of emotions shifting at every chapter. Shantel really kept the story alive and going in this book. And when I was finally finished reading it took me a few days to overcome the quake of emotions. I went through the 7 stages of Denial when this was finished. I did not see the Twists she wrote into this book coming at all!
Samantha is trying to come to terms with her mothers death. She is trying to get answers to questions that are haunting her at night, and she wants to know why her childhood friend Tate is at her door telling her that he was there to care for her mom while she was sick and that he has stalked her from high school graduation until a few weeks ago.
Samantha is trying to take care of things on her own with her life right now and it is pissing Slade off and pushing him further away from her. Sam starts to get calls and text messages from someone telling her that Slade is cheating on her, and that he doesn’t love her and will eventually leave her. She goes on a hunt to find out who this person is and hopes that she will not lose Slade with all the secrets she is creating in the meantime.
Slade has no idea how to help Samantha overcome the loss of her mother, but he knows one thing that is for sure, Tate will not be coming around his Angel ever again. The grief he is causing her with all the lies he is saying is only making Slade want to protect Samantha even more. He knows that he wants to marry her one day and start a family. Slade never thought he would be to this point in his life with a woman, well that is until Angel walked into his life. He just wants to make her happy and help her feel safe and loved, so he is not understanding why she is determined to push him away and keep secrets from him, knowing he will eventually find out what she is doing and why.
Tate needs to tell Samantha the truth about her family. The reason her mom kept her at bay, why her dad helped her mom financially and the secret he knows that will change the way the future is played out when it comes to their friendship. Tate will always feel the need to protect Samantha. He has protected her for as long as he can remember and if becoming friends with Slade is what he needs to do in order to be around her, he will do that. He just wants her to know the truth about everything.

Just like the synopsis says... it is filled with grief, forgiveness, fear, jealousy, betrayal, and lust! It doesn't cover the HOTNESS that you get also. So let me add that one for you.
This is book two in the Undescribable series and I so loved it... maybe not as much as I loved book 1, but it is high on the list. In this one you feel the sadness and GRIEF that Sam is going through after losing her mother.
You feel the FORGIVENESS that both she and Slade have for each other, and Sam has for her mother. I felt the FEAR when I wasn't sure how this relationship would survive what they have to go through and the JEALOUSY that Sam has over Slade's past and someone who appears from Sam's past. It is fun seeing how Slade handles his jealousy.
You feel the BETRAYAL from someone who is from Slades past. Someone who tries to tear apart their relationship. And the lust, well the LUST is just pure HOT. I don't know if I would use the term LUST. It is HOLY HOTNESS at it's finest.
You get introduced to a few new characters in this story, and I just can't wait to see where book 3 will go. I believe it is going to go in Tate's direction. I sure hope it does because Tate sounds like a tattooed, motorcycle riding, hot male on a stick. So I can only hope we get more of Tate in book 3. What you find out about him in this one... leaves you wanting more.
I highly recommend this book to those who are looking for something different. You must read book 1 to know what book 2 is talking about.

Well I was given a copy of this book to review and to get the back story read book 1, Undescribable. Upon finishing that I just had to jump straight into this!!
It was a lovely book, though I found myself wanting to slap both characters at times. Sam for not seeing why Slade was doing what he was doing and Slade for not making clear why he was doing what he was doing! Seriously at times I just wanted to bang both of their heads together and yell 'communicate people'!
Besides that it shows a clear progression on their relationship, a relationship that is steamy as well as being rocky purely from the lack of communication on both sides. The introduction of Tate and Missy is fantastic and just add to the great supporting characters.
One of my favourite parts of the book has got to be the interactions between Sam and a scorned ex of sorts of Slade's, Jessica. The scene in the bar I was silently cheering 'go girl, throw a punch for me'!
I have to admit that I'm not sure I could cope with a man as possessive as Slade is in this book, though if that possessive streak led to scenes in the bedroom like in this book. . . . . (fanning myself with a dreamy look on my face!)
All in all a series to go out and read and I for one cannot wait for book 2.
Please note I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Slade and Angel
So much emotions so much grieving, lots of secrets, and steam. Who could ask for more? This author delivers it all.
Sam lost her mom and she is grieving. Thank goodness Slade is there trying to help her get through her tragedy. Slade is such a wonderful man with his caring, and very very dominating self. More secrets are revealed, but there is more to come, and I'm dying to find out what happens with Slade, Sam, Jax and Tate

**JODIE'S REVIEW**
*4 HOT STARS*
"Everyone slips up and does things that land us in trouble. It’s what we take from those mistakes that makes us a better person.”
Shantel did not disappoint with this follow up. This book grabbed me from the beginning just like Undescribable did and this time Slade held nothing back! Shantel yet again gave me everything I need when reading, Alpha HOT, humor and an unbelievable love story with chemistry that is still just as explosive as when they first met. This time however she had me with my mouth open and I was saying, “Where exactly can I find a Slade of my own?”
“The love I feel for Slade is so strong that sometimes I think I’m dreaming.”
Ummm yeah he is a dream if you dream about a man that takes control and can make your clothes jump off your body. MOTHER HELL I AM NAKED WITH A KINDLE!!!
“I want you, Slade,” I plead. Why are we playing this stupid game."
“I know .” He smiles a slow and sexy smile. “And I’m going to give it to you, when you’re ready.”
“Are you?” he questions. He places a hand in my hair and pulls my head back as he lowers his lips to mine. “Are your panties soaked?” he whispers.
Oh Slade I swear I could just write a review on him and his controlling mouth but really I think I need to touch on other things, right? So this book starts with us finding out that Samantha’s mother has passed and what I loved was I got the back story that I desperately wanted in book 1. We also get a glimpse of another side of Slade. They have finally shared their I love you’s and we fall in love with this other side this beautiful, sweet, caring strong man that is ready to do whatever he can to make sure his “Angel” is okay.
"Angel you are my meaning to live and I promise to fight for us, no matter how hard our life gets. Cause life with you . . . .” He closes his eyes as if in pain. “It would be unbearable.” He opens his eyes. “I’m in love with you, Angel.”
YEP, that chemistry between these two that was so addicting in Book 1 is still so strong that you can’t help but cheer for them as you watch them battle real life situations. Secrets that come into play, new characters that appear with a secrets of their own that their not ready to share.
“Do you have secrets Slade?” He tilts his head to the side.
“What kind of question is that?” I snap getting irritated.
“It’s an easy question. Do you have secrets?”
DAMN Secrets! Everyone has them, some are innocent, some leave you questioning and some make you smile. Yep we have secrets Slade has a secret, Samantha tries to have a secret and Tate has a BIG secret. But who is Tate? Prepare yourself because this boy is something that will definitely get your attention.
Slade is very built, but Tate is like body builder huge. He has tribal work all over his chest and down his left side, along with both arms. There is a saying written on his right side, but I’m not going to stare long enough to read.
I admit I was wanting him and I was wanting more of his story. Who is Tate? Tate is Samantha’s childhood best friend who is back and who Samantha hasn’t seen. Tate sparks a jealousy in Slade but in the end we find that both men just want to protect her.
“I don’t want to fight you Slade. Believe me, I would love to.” He stand there looking at me, and for a second I we are about to have out here in my office.
“I’m not your enemy, Slade. I promise. I don’t want her the way you think I do. We should be working together to protect her.”
And that’s just what these two do and just as the first, this book ends with secrets being told but this one leaves us with a little bit of a cliffhanger that had me saying now when can I book 3 because I swear on everything no one better mess with these two DAMN IT!!!!
“But for Slade, I will fight dirty and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”
I swear I will!!! Oh and can I get Missy and Tate’s story in the next book please, Thanks.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Blog Tour Stop! ➜ http://bit.ly/1c0QcOk
4.5 - 5 Stars!
A book full of secrets, lies, passion, and love. Samantha and Slade's journey continues right where it left off in book one, Undescribable. Samantha is not in the best of places due to a recent turn of events and tragedy that struck her life. Slade is right by her side trying his very best to be a supportive boyfriend, but Sam is not having it. They face a few up and downs right off the bat, but we quickly start to see how truly strong their love is.
Slade treasures Samantha. As simple as that. He's head over heals in love with her and wants nothing but the best for her... at all times. He's very protective of her and quite the hot alpha male.
Just when things start to smooth for them, Slade's past is thrown in Samantha's face more than once. Someone from Slade's past, whom we met in book one, resurfaces and causes nothing but trouble for Sam. Quite the angst-driven scenes, let me tell you. Even though Sam and Slade's relationship is once again put to the test, Sam is one kick ass chick! She doesn't give into anything easily! She doesn't give up without a fight! LOVED that she isn't an insecure girl that automatically doubts Slade's love for her. She knows better... she knows him.
The plot in this book truly intensifies along the way, which was a HUGE plus since for me since it started a bit slow. There's a mystery side of the story line that had me at the edge of my seat, wanting to find out more... coming up with different theories. Someone is definitely looking for trouble. That's for sure! Once I really got into Unbearable, I couldn't stop turning the pages.
This book is told from dual POV, so I had absolutely no difficulty connecting with Sam and Slade. I LOVED their relationship with their friends and Slade's parents. They are all like this big, crazy family that loves and supports each other no matter what. We are also introduced to a new character -- Tate. Sexy, hot, and oh so secretive! Like I mentioned, the mystery aspect in this book kept me hooked!
Since this is book 2 of 3, the ending leaves us in quite a plot cliffhanger. Relationship wise, I'm stoked with how it ended, but I'm also beyond curious to see what will happen next. To say I will be anxiously awaiting book three is an understatement. I really hope it releases very soon!
I recommend you read this book!

*ARC PROVIDED IN EXCHANGE FOR HONEST REVIEW*
I love Slade. When I first read Book One, Undescribable, I was so in love with him by the end, I couldn’t wait for the next story. So I was thrilled to finally have Unbearable on my Kindle and could not wait to get started. Shantel Tessier did not let me down. Unbearable picks up where Undescribable leaves off. A recent tragedy has left poor Samantha to deal with the circumstances and with a lot of different emotions, particularly guilt and sorrow. Slade, of course, is there for her 100% and wants nothing more than to make all her pain and anguish disappear. He tries so hard to be the best boyfriend he can, which for him is pretty much new, uncharted territory. And while Sam can appreciate his efforts, she has a lot to work through in her head, and at times this does put strain on their relationship. But no worries, she makes it pretty clear early on that she and Slade will weather the storm and their relationship will be even stronger as a result.
Slade, of course, is his usual hot alpha-self. He wants nothing more than to protect Sam (Angel) from anything and everything that might cause her pain or unhappiness. While his intentions are all good, Sam is not always thrilled with this over-bearing Slade; this causes some tension between them. And at times I agreed with her and wanted to just yell at Slade to chill out and leave her be. Then at other times I completely understood his actions and his intentions, and I wanted to yell at Sam to just listen to him for once and stop being stubborn! But this is what their relationship is made of and it is what makes the book so fun to read.
I will admit, I did feel at times in the beginning of Unbearable, that things were moving a little slowly. There were a couple of points where I found myself wishing for more action and less reflecting. But I also know that the reflections, both Sam’s and Slade’s, are necessary for the reader to truly understand what is going on with them and it certainly did not make me want to stop reading. The plot does pick up, and in fact an aspect of mystery is even introduced into the story, something that I really enjoyed. We also are introduced to a new male character, Tate, and he comes to us with secrets and sexiness! I love his role in the story and I am hoping he is actually going to get his own story one of these days. He definitely has a lot to tell!
I also loved the supporting characters and how they each played a vital role in this book. We are reacquainted with Courtney, Josh, Holly and Micah, as well as Slade’s parents and we even meet Missy, a new younger friend who Sam comes to adore and you will too.
I highly recommend Unbearable to all the Undescribable fans out there. While we do get a really sweet HEA, we are also left somewhat hanging, and in desperate need of the third and final book, which I am hoping Shantel Tessier will release very soon! ☺

5 PASSIONATE STAR THOUGHTS
What the heck just happened, and when can I have more! Shantel has done it again! My emotions are all over the place… I have cried, laughed and swooned, and then cried all over again (like sobbed)!!! The journey in this book is amazing and full of heartbreak, angst, passion, secrets and love! I am in love with Sam and Slade!
I reach out, grabbing Slade's hand. "I'm okay." I give him a small smile. I will be okay. I will do what my mom wanted…live my life. ~Sam
We pick up right where Undescribable, book one, left us. Sam is completely broken after the recent tragedy, and Slade is by her side the whole time. No matter how many times she pushes him away, he is always there. The connection they have is beautiful, but life is constantly throwing things at them to test just how strong their love is. Slade is amazing with her and definitely on my alpha male-book boyfriend list! He is so protective of her and not afraid to show her just how much he loves her and needs her… what girl doesn't want that?
"That is my heartbeat. It only beats for you, Angel. It has always only ever beat for you. I only breathe for you. All I think about is my forever with you. Believe me, I am not going anywhere." ~Slade
While Sam is trying to put herself back together, a sexy and mysterious man shows up at her door saying he can answer her questions. But who is this man? This man loves her and Slade refuses to let him near her. And Sam just doesn't want to hear what "this man" has to say because she is mad he kept secrets from her about her mother and has been following her…but why?
"Will my love be enough for Slade?" ~Sam
As soon as I thought everything was settling down, Slade's past is thrown at Sam. A girl we met in book one comes back to cause problems…but Sam is not going to stand for it! I can't even tell you how excited I was that Sam stood up for herself and didn't immediately doubt her and Slade's love for each other. I was screaming "hell yes… finally" because I get tired of those girls who are so insecure. Sam knows Slade and trusts in his love for her.
"Angel you are my meaning to live and I promise to fight for us, no matter how hard our life gets. Cause life without you…." He closes his eyes as if in pain. "It would be unbearable." ~Slade
There is not one thing negative I could say about this book! I love all of the supportive characters and hope we get more from them in the future (*hint hint). And being able to read the story from both POV's just helps you fall in love with Sam and Slade even more! Their love for one another is beautiful! And who doesn't want a hot protective alpha male to love them, I know I do! This book does not end in a cliff hanger so to speak, but definitely leaves you with so many questions and begging for book 3! Amazingly written! Can't wait for more Sam & Slade!

I love nothing more than when a writer produces a second book in a series that is just as good if not better than the first. Shantel blew me away with Unbearable and I am dying for book 3!
So, Samantha and Slade's story continues from where we left them in Undescribable, with Sam at her mum's house struggling with her death and her guilt associated with it and trying to organise the funeral. Slade is trying his best to be supportive and comforting but with Sam's emotions all over the place, it seems like a losing battle.
Slade, Slade, Slade..... Even with his man whoring ways I fell in love with him in Undescribable. But in Unbearable.... well, this man just had me all kinds of twisted up. We got to see a softer, more sensitive side of Slade and mix that with his alpha hotness, and his protective side and you just about have perfection <3
The chemistry between this couple was just as sizzling as in Undescribable and I loved watching their relationship go through so many up and downs and how they tried to deal with everything that was being thrown at them.
Of course given Slade's past, Sam is thrown head first into drama from interfering woman who are hell bent on breaking the couple apart. I was so excited and happy to see that she wasn't second guessing Slade's feelings for her and stood up to fight for the man she loves.
Then, there's a new face.... Tate. Yet another hot male who was Samantha's childhood friend and holds some pretty major secrets himself. His appearance into the story line provided a sense on intrigue and uncertainty.... I loved it.
And I can not forget the secondary characters in the story. Sam and Slade's friends and his parents fit so perfectly into this little world that Shantel has created, that I was kinda wishing that I was part of their group myself lol.
This story line was just so full of drama, love, lust, lies and boy oh boy are there secrets everywhere. Shantel did such an amazing job continuing this story with a plot that pulled you in, kept you guessing and wanting more. I'm a huge fan of dual POV stories and Shantel has shown yet again that she is very talented in pulling off dual POV's.
This is definitely a series I would recommend you devour as soon as possible.

This is the second installment of this series. The story picks up right after Slade has found Sam after her mother has past away, Slade is the most amazing of book boyfriends. He is really there for Sam in her time of need. When she is slammed from a blast from her past Slade is there but with concern. Her past is a friend by the name of Tate, he is sexy mysterious and loves Sam. He has also decided to move to St. Louis to be closer to Sam. Slade doesn't trust him 100%, but does try to get along for Sam's sake. As soon as they return, crazy things start happening and people are out to destroy the strong foundation Sam and Slade have worked hard to build. Shantel delivers a fabulous follow-up with sexual sizzle, angst, heartwarming emotions and some crazy to go along with it. Slade is the man we want all men to be like. He is strong and compassionate.
“You know that? I have never seen someone as perfect as you,” he whispers running his knuckles down my cheek.
I just stare at him because I don’t know what to say. That’s the way I see him too. Perfect.
“Your beautiful skin, soft lips.” He then takes his thumb and runs it over my bottom lip. “Mesmerizing green eyes.” His baby blue eyes land on mine and I feel light headed. Those blue eyes have always had the power to see into my soul. “So perfect,” he whispers as he pushes a strand of hair behind my ear. “My Angel.”
This series is outstanding. Unbearable will consume you. This couple remains solid throughout the book although there are some tense scenes. I love that they don't wander from the trust and commitment to their relationship no matter what is thrown at them. Shantel has done a kick ass job with this book. She has thrown in a few twist that set up book 3 to be awesome. There are a couple of secrets that will shock you, but no major cliffhanger. This is a must read!!!
“That is my heartbeat. It only beats for you, Angel. It has always only ever beat for you. I only breathe for you. All I think about is my forever with you."

This book was so AWESOME. Words can barely describe how this book affected me. This is the second book in a three part series. You have to actually read Undescribable before you read this book to get the total understanding of this book. It had me on an emotional roller-coaster ride most of the book. So before you read any of Slade and Angels story you will have to read the first book no doubt on it. Slade and Angels story is the most amazing story I have read in a long time. This author brings reality to a whole new level. The book dragged some things out for a bit but that was ok cause the happy ending that most will think that Angle and Slade won't get will be really up for a surprise. I am not saying that there is one or isn't but I will tell you this. Keep the tissues handy get in your most comfortable chair and be prepared not to move and prepare yourself. This book was so dang awesome it was kind of scary but well worth the wait in this readers opinion.
A normal review cant' be written so just take this readers opinion and read the first book and then throw everything else down and get down with this bad bad book. The sex was tame but for some reason the book was even better cause of the emotions that were in this book.
I can't wait for the next book to come out too see well you will just have to wait just like me I can't write it without giving anything away.
Sorry Happy Reading

I was really excited to continue with Slade and Sam's story and book 2 had me just as satisfied as I was by book 1. This time around there are more emotional upheavals, Sam dealing with grief and Slade stepping lightly to see how he can be a partner during this difficult time. Add to that some unexplained accidents and incidents and trying to maintain their relationship despite outside influences and control battles.
Still enjoyable alpha male moments as seen in the first novel, this one we get an added hottie to the mix - Tate.
I like how the author doesn't just focus on one conflict - there are many more minor ones that take shape that are more illustrative of a realistic relationship - vs. some books that have one evil villain and tried to build suspense around one plot line. This one has you engaged and thinking through a couple through the course of their story.
Kudos to Ms. Tessier, such a strong start to her writing career, meaty follow-up novel in same vein as before and still without no nagging editorial or grammar concerns which haunt a lot of other Indie authors - thank you! - and congrats!
Very excited to see book 3 and the conclusion of Slade and Sam's story!

Update: just finished. While I did enjoy this book, some things were just unusual to me: mainly Tate. I don't believe he has romantic intentions for Sam. I just think it's strange that now he has to be every where Samantha is. & then the scene where she was closing up the bar? Yeahhh... I don't buy that just yet.
Courtney: she definitely took a 180 from what I thought her character was going to be. She was someone I liked in book one, but she turned a little bitchy in this one. Was she jealous?
Jax: ummm, he didn't seem to care about Sam so I'm not sure why he seems to care that Tate came after him. I almost thought it was Greg on the phone.
Slade: while I love me some Slade, he was about unbearable in the middle. Having the alarm system text you when the house is locked up is one thing. It's a completely different thing when you call your girlfriend every time to ask her where she's going. Hopefully you will calm down in the next book.
And props to Shantel & the storyline with Jeremy. I thought that was very clever.

Just a handful of hours before I can dive in without interruptions.

I don't even know where I want to start. I just came off reading one hell of an emotional book and BAM. I am still on that emotional ride. At the end of book 1, Sam had just lost her mother. A mother who she thought didn't want her but her money... How wrong she was.
Good gravy... Slade. I seriously wanted to hate him but I couldn't. I fell in love with him in the first go around and he is even more amazing in this book. He is there for Sam; mind, body and soul.
There is a lot of things that Sam's mom kept from her... Enter Tate. He just wants Same to know the truth and he will do whatever it takes to make sure she stays safe...
OMG I want book #3 NOW! Ms. Shantel, you have left me a flipping MESS! I LOVE these characters. If I could have friends like these guys, sans Jessica, I'd LOVE it... but I don't. However, I do have these AMAZING books!
The writing and the character development has grown from the first book. I gave it 5 stars... I am giving this one 5+ stars. I can't wait to see what happens next...

In Unbearable, the book picks up where we left Slade and Sam. We get our answers to a lot of questions and of course it opens to even more when you get to the end.
Gotta give it to Sam and how she deals with Slade and his man whoreing days. To say it’s difficult is an understatement when it comes to Slade’s past with all the women he has been with. Sam’s love must be real if she can handle all that drama, woman are still after the guy and holds no regards in sharing that they want more and not afraid to go after it. Sam tries to come to terms with dealing with her mom’s passing and also tries to rekindle a friendship long lost from her past. Little does she know that Tate has secrets of his own that he wants to keep.
The drama and steamy sex is still there and when you get to the end, you just want more. I can’t wait for the final installment of Slade and Sam. Waiting on pins and needles.

I will tell you straight up, this book had my emotions everywhere! I cried, chuckled out loud (literally) and then cried some more. Sometimes you find that love story that twists your gut because you want so bad for the main charaters to get together!! This was that story.
Shantel Tessier pick up exactly where Undescribable stopped.. I have to say I thought this story was going to be Josh and Courtney. Sam and Slade story is really the one I was dying to read *wink*wink*
Sam and Slade were so hot and cold all throughout this book. With the emotional baggage they carry around, it no wonder =)
Unbearable was full of the perfect proportions of sex, love, angst and never lacking feelings.
I CANNOT wait for book 3
