This is one of those books where I had to go back to the listing upon closure to ensure I read the same thing everyone else did. On Amazon this book has 62 reviews with an overall rating of 4.8 stars. I just wasn’t impressed. Perhaps I would have enjoyed this book had it been offered as one story, but this short, part 1, was a letdown. Here is my breakdown:
The pros:
* It was offered as a kindleunlimited
* The sex was pretty steamy
The cons:
* This was only a 61 page book and I feel the abundance of characters introduced in such a short read was extreme. Because of this, not one single character had any depth or felt like they had a true personality to me personally.
* I didn’t care for the "hero" (I use that term loosely) at all. He came across as an arrogant prick. It was indicated that he was going to betray the heroine, but that didn’t happen in part 1, but I still found his character to be repulsive. He had found his true mate, and yet was flirting with other women, and talking to his sister about hating not being able to just go get laid, etc. At one point I thought I was going to scream if he mentioned his blue balls, or lack of sex one more time.
* I got sick of the hero and his sister talking about how they had to go on with their plans to betray the pack they were staying with. I wanted more information pertaining to this. It was one of many issues that had too many missing pieces, and kept me from fully understanding the impact. Even though this is part of a series, I like to know about why certain characters behave a certain way. We were just left in the dark on this, as well as many other areas.
Overall, I just didn’t care for this book. Perhaps because it read more like a serial type read then novel? I may have enjoyed it more if offered as a complete story, but I honestly doubt this will be a series I continue.

Annie lost her true mate in a clan war and never expected to find another one much less be the one who will unite two clans. Annie may have a hard time denying her connection to Tristan but she isn't going to just submit and be the meek little mouse he wants. She's strong stubborn and determined to not let him tell her what to do. She's willing to wait it out till he starts to treat her how she wants to be treated.
I like Annie she bakes which I think is a good quality because it sounds like she stresses bakes like I do. She also knows what she wants and what it's going to take to win her heart. Tristan has issues coming from a broken clan with his sister they are hoping to find a place to start over. While they may both have issues they find in each other just what they are missing and need. When they finally focus on each other things just work out.
Tempted By The Bear is the first of an exciting new series that involves bear shifters. I had this one on my kindle for a while and decided to check out the series as I'm hooked on sweet shifter romance at the moment. I like the characters we have a lot of characters from other books and I think I might have been reading out of order. I felt I was able to connect with Annie and I can't wait to see how the series is going to progress. I enjoyed the sweet story with just enough romance and steamy moments to keep us wanting more. I'm curious to see how it's all going to play out with the other bear shifters.

"Polar opposites"
I fell in love with "Called by the Bear series" now this spin off of it is just as amazing!. The story line is awesome and the characters are fantastic!.
The Le Roux clan has had its share of problems. From low birth rates to mates getting killed. Then they discovered a way to summon mates that have shifter blood in them. Carly and her best friend were the first chosen. Carly mated with the Alpha Brady and now has been chosen to find other chosen. Then they had problems with the Veilleux clan when their Alpha Victor tried to force a mating on Carly's best friend Sierra and got her pregnant. Now Victor that Victor was killed by Kieth's mate who also died the clans are trying to get along. Now this new spin off has us meeting the De Roziers a Polar bear clan. The De Roziers Alpha Tristan and his sister Isabelle came to the Le Roux clan on a mission to find a place for their clan to stay. Then Tristan and Anne Le Roux find they maybe mates only they are Polar opposites lol. Tristan would have an easier quest of winning Anne if he would act more mature. Plus the Le Roux clan feel Tristan and his sister are hiding some thing. This is another amazing suspenseful,steamy hot Romance! you will not want to miss. It is a must must read book!.

I was given an ARC of 'Tempted by the Bear- part 1' from V. Vaughn, in exchange for an honest review.
What an intense new series, a continuation from the "Called by the Bear" series. I was quickly drawn into this book, loving the dynamics of what was occuring whilst I was reading. Although I feel as though I am missing some vital information by not reading the first series... I will rectify that problem before part 2 of the series comes out. So much informtion is spinning around, the secrets, the steamy scenes... I totally enjoyed it all & can't wait to find out what secrets with be uncovered within.

GOT ME IN ONE! Yes, Ms Vaughn has captured me once again. I loved Called by the Bear and eagerly awaited each part. Now I have a new addiction with Tempted by the Bear. I always enjoy revisiting old friends from previous series. And part one starts out just that way. Annie was a favorite character, I mourned her previous loss of her true mate, thinking she could find happiness with another and then losing that as well. Now she has a second chance at a True Mate. Tristan. But Tristan isn't what he portrays. The leader of a clan from Alaska with intentions to move to Michigan with the other clans, yet he seems a frivolous prankster. Annie wants a mature mate.
Isabel, Tristan's sister, seems even more flighty with little interest in work or the grown up world. While her mother and Annie think there is more to the siblings, they have no idea just how different they really are.
The mating draw between Tristan and Annie is hot and their attempt at resistance makes for plenty of steam. Can Tristan get past her hesitance? Will he continue to hide the truth from her?
We get a good hint that there is something a foot--but only hints and suppositions before Ms Vaughn leaves us panting for more. I can't wait for part two.

Suspense! Pulled me right in!
Annie is a very strong bear shifter, she is barren, has suffered the loss of her true mate, and loss in her clan. Tristen is an alpha polar bear shifter willing to do whatever it takes to save his clan from extinction. It seems perfect on the outside, Annie has another chance at love, a second true mate in Tristen! But there seems to be more going on with Tristen and his sister Isabelle than everyone knows about. Annie notices little things here and there, but figures she will find out... IF she actually mates to the overbearing polar bear shifter. She deserves respect but it seems like no one taught Tristen how to treat a woman. Will they mate? Will the clans merge? Will Annie and Tristen give into their primal urges? What is going on with Isabelle and Tristen?
This is the first book by V. Vaughn that I have read, and boy was it good! It has a great story line, and a "REALLY!?!?!?!?!" cliffhanger! I sat and tried to find my breath for a minute or two, then immediately went to buy book 2, which isn't out yet!!!!! I'm dying here waiting for book 2, and so will you!

There are a lot of secrets to be revealed in this new series featuring the characters from Called by the Bear. We start this next exciting series with Annie and Tristan. Annie lost one mate and has now been given the opportunity for another. She should be thrilled and eager to commit to Tristan but she is not. She is turned off by his behavior and wondering what she did to deserve him for a mate. Tristan is arrogant and willing to do what it takes to get what he wants. He and his sister are keeping secrets from the clan and when they all come out you just know it will be painful for everyone. It is great that the whole Called by the Bear series is included if you missed out and want to start with the first series. I highly recommend you read them all. This series features great characters, hot chemistry and a story that will keep you guessing until the end. I received a copy in return for a honest review.

What great beginning and continuation of Called by the Bears. This book has so much to offer readers. For example: a phenomenal cast of detailed characters, a attention grabbing plot, and details that make every page worth the read. We still have some great characters from Called by the Bears like Annie LeRoux plus two new characters Tristan and Isabelle DeRozier. Tristan is a polar bear shifter who is trying to prevent his clan from extinction. While also trying to find his true mate. Who he happens to find in Annie LeRoux. Isabelle,Tristan's sister, is a ambitious party girl so it would seem but underneath her crazy exterior shes really just a girl who wants to find her true mate.
As you read through the story you may sense the Tristan and Isabelle might have some alternative motives, leaving you hanging on the edge of your sanity for the sequel.

This is the first book in a new series. It is a continuation from the the series Called to the Bear but has a whole new set of main characters. This one one follows Annie whose new True Mate to Tristian, a Polar Bear that comes to Maine to find a new home for his dwindling clan. Along with his twin sister Isabelle they are plotting something that can and will change their new home forever. We will also get to see all of the characters from the last series and some will get their mates in this one. You don't have to read the previous series to read this one but I recommend that you do since you will get a better understanding of this world and what is at stake in this one. The good thing about this special edition is that the author included the first series. I can't wait to see what will happen next.

I received this book as a arc for my honest opinion.
Tempted by the bear is a spin off series or I like to think of it as another branch in the family tree of Called by the Bear. Annie is a bear shifter who met her true mate Tristan in called by the bear. Tristan is a polar bear alpha and he is looking to make a deal /steal of a lifetime. His bears are dying out and need a new home, so Tristan and his twin sister Isabella are coming to Annie's brother and alpha for help. Yet Tristan never counted on meeting his mate, who can't stand him.
This book pulls you in and doesn't let go, I couldn't stop thinking about it, waiting for the next book so I can find out what happens. This series has it all love, lies,sex,alphas and mine.
A 2015 must read. One of the best shifter series I have read in a long time. V. VAUGH is an amazing author who knows how to tell a story.

Tempted by the Bear - Part 1
by V. Vaughn
Even though I haven't read the first serial, Called by the Bear, I didn't have any problems reading this book. I am a person that likes to read things in order, so all I did was make some notes so I could connect people and things that were talked about.
I wasn't always a huge fan of serials. The first few I read I wasn't to happy with, but now, I have found a lot of enjoyment in them.
Ms. Vaughn has done a wonderful job of carrying this one on and making sure that enough information is given about the back history of the characters.
I am looking forward to reading more about Annie, Tristan and all the other characters.

Annie Le Roux has a second chance at true love when Tristan De Rozier comes into her life. But things are a little tense when Tristan shows an arrogant side around her. Tristan's sister Isabelle has to take matters into her own hands for the good of the De Rozier clan when she feels he is starting to care about Annie and he might not proceed with the plan.
Wonderful new characters and love seeing the other characters from Called by the Bear in this series. Betrayal, drama and romance are in the pages of this story.
This is for any paranormal romance book lover who likes a little more in their stories.

This book just caught me from the first chapter & never let go. I had a hard time putting the book down. Annie Le Roux is the sister to an Alpha and True Mate to Tristian. There are a lot of secrets that come with Tristian and his sister Isabelle. Annie knows something is going on but cant resist the pull of her True Mate no matter how brutish he is being. Tristian knows he has to be this way with everyone for the future of his clan. The steaminess of the interplay between Tristian and Annie will have you sweating. I cant wait to see what happens next.

I loved this book for several reasons... 1) It's a great story that will quickly grab your attention and keep you reading. Ms. Vaughn has begun to build a foundation for the story that will be unfolding, I can't wait to see what happens. 20 If you haven't read the previous season, don't fret! Ms Vaughn has graciously included it. You could, if you wanted, read this as a stand-alone. The backstory is provided, but it will have you wanting to read the previous season. 3) I'm a sucker for a good story and this fits the bill! Ms. Vaughn is a masterful storyteller and I for one can't wait to read what's going to happen next!

This series in no your normal guy meets girl, they fall in love true mates and all that stuff. Nope V. Vaughn has tossed in mystery and possibly of betrayal. So does true love win all guess we find out!
Annie Le Roux is the sister of the alpha of their pack. Her first true mate died. She was convicted she would just live her life as an aunt that is until Tristan De Rozier shows up. Her second chance at a true mate but as I read I am not so sure he is all he shows everyone. He might not be a good guy or good alpha. His sister might even be worse. The sister is Isabelle and she seems like trouble.
What a great mystery. Interesting and captivating. I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Annie has a chance at love again, a second true mate never happens but who did she anger to get Tristian? Since welcoming Tristian and Isabelle, Annie has been turned upside down with lust and frustration; she is sure Tristian is not who he portrays himself to be but can’t figure him out. Isabelle also seems to be acting out of character and the clan is starting to wonder if Tristian and Isabelle DeRozier are up to no good. Can completing the bonding ritual bring out the real Tristian and if it does will Annie be able to love him? Great start, love the characters! I would suggest reading the “Called by the Bear” serial first as it gives much more background and depth to the characters (not to mention is an awesome read in its own right!).

Here is another Series by Ms. Vaughn that's to die for. As I kept reading her pen just flowed through each page and every chapter, making me fall in love with the characters.
Annie Le Roux of the Le Roux Clan was widowed now for two years from her true mate Kyle who was killed with her father when fighting broke out with the Veilleux Clan. But the Fates had other plans for Annie.
Tristan and Isabelle De Rozier were twins, also Polar Bears. Tristan being the Alpha of the now small De Rozier Clan. Everyone is suspicious of the twin, they feel they are not telling them everything. Are they planning something? I was gifted this ARC for an honest and truthful review.

Book 1) ...interesting. This series continues from Called By The Bear, and if you haven't read those, you may be confused. Annie can't have kids, but Tristan has three and wants the land and power, so he thinks they should mate, but something is odd about him. Tristan is "playing her like a fiddle", and she's clueless. There is a underlying evil with him and his sister, who is hooking up with Luke. As I recall Luke from the previous series has a chip on his shoulder and revenge in his heart. It's all very sinister. Great cast of characters, most from the previous books, a twisted tale, and hot sex make this series worthwhile. ENJOY !!!

Another great series by V. Vaughn. I really enjoyed this series. Each story was packed with so much in such a short period of time. So well written and enjoyed every part of it. You don't often find shot stories to have such great plots as this book and series does. Usually there's not enough time to fit it all in, in a short read but somehow she made it work. It seems like with each book it gets better. I only wished the books were longer. A great enjoyable mini read an an excellent series. Most of the characters from Called by the Bear series made an appearance in this series as well as some great new characters.

I tried really hard to enjoy this book, but it wasn't for me. I am not a big fan of books told in present tense, but I thought it sounded like an interesting read, so I was determined to give it a try. I couldn't even finish it. Having it told from a first person point of view, and then switching from character to character, also made it hard to get into. IMHO, if the book had been told in third person, and past tense, it would have been easier to absorb. Unfortunately the combination of the above gave the story a somewhat mechanical feel. I think there will be many readers who can look past these issues, and will enjoy the book. I just wasn't one of them.

Received the book for an honest review. Tempted by the Bear is a great start to a new series by V. Vaughn. Great storyline that captivates you from the first page with likeable and loveable characters. Annie Le Roux has a second chance at love with Tristian De Rozier, but she senses that he has many secrets that may affect her and her clan. Can't wait to see what Ms. Vaughn has up,her sleeve for part two.

Overall rating: 4.5
These characters are a continuation from another series by this author so I would recommend starting from the beginning. Being able to breeze through this book was a given, because I ended the previous series definitely wanting to know more about these characters as well as discover which tangent this
Series would pick up at. In this start, it seems the pair of characters that should be together are off to a very rocky start. This author did a wonderful job of layering more mysteries into the storyline so that we readers still have no idea where they will end up as yet. Part 1 did its job and I am looking forward to part 2. This voluntary review is based against a copy given to me.

This review is for this entire series...it started off decent and then plummeted downhill pretty fast. So many characters shoved in one book was overkill. It was difficult keeping everyone story straight. Ever chapter was someone else’s story and getting them to be cohesive was a problem for the author I felt. All of the characters were underdeveloped in my opinion. Also the random bit of magic ( telekinesis...dream walking...spells) was ridiculous and unnecessary. I have always been a fan of instalove in my paranormal Romance but this series was so jumpy it seemed like everyone was falling in love with everyone every other chapter. I pushed to the end because I don’t like to leave a book unfinished but I did skip a lot of pointless dialogue.

Great start
Lovin this next set of books, as always the author keeps,you guessing as to what's gonna happen next. Yes, have to be read in order. You could start with this but highly recommend you start with the Called By the Bear series first. All on KU :)
