Caroline immediately ruined this book for me. I hated her character so much. She annoyed me from the beginning.

The third in the Water Bear Shifters series. An artist has the unique talent of painting storms. When storms on the ocean appear, artist Caroline Hall heads to the ocean where she gets her inspiration for her paintings. Her extremely beautiful and intriguing paintings of the oven during storms has increased her popularity. She dreamed of adding something to her paintings. Although all her paintings has strictly been scenery, she adds in the Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter and a man. The man in her painting just happens to be one of the shifters, Lance Bowman. An enchanting love story with explicit sexual scenes. I recommend the whole series and I don't recommend reading them individually. To me it ruins the continuity of the entire story.

I am so torn on An Alpha’s Thunder. I’ve loved the Water Bears series, I absolutely adore and pant after every single guy here. And Lance is one hot, sexy shifter who deserves his happiness. But there is one word that describes why I cannot get as excited about this one. Caroline.
In my opinion she doesn’t deserve Lance. Harsh, maybe but can’t help how I’m reacting to this particular panda romance. I “get” that Caroline’s parents, her wealthy parents, disowned her because she didn’t follow their protocol of the perfect daughter… and that hurts, there is no denying that. She’s worked hard, taken her unique relationship with storms, thunder and their effect on the oceans, lakes and rivers and transformed that wild, emotion of the water onto the canvas. Her talent is untouchable.
Lance lost everything – everyone he loved to the cruelty of the scientists who designed a poison to kill off the panda shifters. His entire clan wiped off of the face of the planet. Fate left him as one of four surviving Alpha panda shifters. Four men who hide in plain sight, while trying to rebuild a different life.
And after he’s practically stalked her, done everything to appease her and her fears. She still walks away. Caroline redeemed herself a bit to me when she called him about the men in the bar and their conversation about his crew. A bit. But even then, after she’s seen them all shift and they have shown her their every secret… even when Lance lays out his heart and soul to her – she’s ready to run. Standing at the door, silently, mentally begging him to be the brave one and stop her. Really?? Why can’t she be brave? If she really feels as she thinks she feels – why the hell can’t she be brave.
Aargh! I understand that Caroline is scared, of many things. That she has worked hard for her privacy and her position in the art world. I get that she has underlying emotional troubles of abandonment by her parents. I do get all of that. I don’t hate Caroline – I just don’t like her very much.
As the final story approaches, as we will finally see the Water Bears and the Northern Lights Clan work toward ending the scientist’s evil plan. I cannot help but wonder – there in the wilds of Alaska when everything is finally on the line. Then will Caroline finally be brave and fight alongside of her mate. I hope so, I really do.
(I really do love this series, I just want the girl to be brave, too)

Lance _ a painting is a thousand words or is it the artist herself more intriguing
Lance knew nothing about art but he knew enough to realize the painting he seen had a strong resemblance of him. Caroline went out on a limb and painted something different. She added a feature to her paintings . A coast guard rescuers and it all came from her head. Never had she imagined him to be real. Was this a true calling of the universe to bring this panda shifter and his mate together. Lance knew he was leaving soon to move to Alaska two he didn't want to start anything but he couldn't get out of his mind. He figured being stationed in Alaska and having the threat of the mad scientist after him and his friends along with other shifters would be a burden on her. Besides who really want to leave sunny San Diego , California to go to blistering cold Alaska? Caroline chose her path and was not letting him out of her site. Very good book but a better series if read together. Better understanding. Loved the series.

Imaginary or Not
3 1/2 StarsThis was really too short. Not real happy with it because of the length. Lance and Caroline's story was going very good then it ended way too sun. It felt rushed. This is why I could not rate it any higher.
Lance is a Panda shifter who is in the Coast Guard. Little did he know there was a mysterious artist who was painting him in her portraits...until too many people were asking him about it. He goes to check it out. He receives a tremendous shock when he visits the art gallery.
Caroline is an artist who is rather famous for her exceptional paintings of storms. She is reclusive as much as she can be. This time around she decides to paint a Coast guard helicopter with her imaginary perfect man. At the last night of her exhibition she receives a shock.
These two have a lot to get over, but danger lurks.

Started draggy then felt rushed
I liked the concept and both the h/h. But the story was disjointed, lots of time spent on why she won,t see him (draggy), then boom, finds out he is shifter, she's in, action starts, story gets good, it's over.

Bear shifter standalone in series.
Kindle Unlimited book. She chases storms as a living. After painting her dream man, he appears at her showing. When a threat is made on his life, she can't help but get involved.
