That was amazing. A roller coaster of emotions considering I read the entire Called by the Bear in like 3 days. I loved the storyline. I loved the characters. (I was even starting to like Victor when he met Lily, but then there was that period where I hated them both and then how I felt about them separately was just all over the place towards the end. I few tears were shed in the last 2 chapters (oh, Lord. Poor Keith, Taylor, Lily, and Victor. But mostly Keith.) I don't know when I'll be starting Tempted by the Bear but hopefully it won't be too long from now. I'm excited for Annie and Tristan's story and I'm also excited for new characters.

Wow! What an incredible story. I was so caught up in the saga that I could not put down and read all nine stories in one day. Very romantic and suspenseful plot. Extremely well written. I loved the twists and turns, the characters and their relationships. I was so surprised by the ending. Not your typical HE A.

Riveting right to end!
Riveting t u the last page. Ending is surprising and the suspense keeps the reader's interest from flagging. This series has been a fascinating tale.

Carly has had hers. Lily wants to take Sierra's babies, that are Victor's, and raise them. Taylor is being internally haunted by the Indian Shaman. Taylor knocks out her husband and continues the fertility drink that nearly killed her. What's next? Two more episodes to go. ENJOY !!!

In the werebear law true mates come first and he plans to leave his wife but then his twin said Lucy is his true mate! Now what's a girl to do ?

Okay this has just gone into silliness now. I have read the previous books but there is just too much chaos and bed switching for me to enjoy them anymore. Mind rape, then actual rape then switching mates around. WHAT!, just too much drama and the men no longer act like alpha men and the women are so deep into conflict it is silly. A real pity as it started off so well.
Now for a complaint.
Will I pay what is being asked for these books, probably not. I hate feeling ripped off by authors, yes they have to make a living, but fan loyalty and a sensible pricing system seems a better way to survive to me.
Unfortunately, I really hate when a good book is split into smaller pieces for a bigger profit margin. $1 to $3 for a 52-65 page book is NOT good value in my world. The whole series of 9 books is only 522 pages. You can buy the complete 9 book series for AU$12.00 but as I have read books 1,2 and 3 as an ARC this does not make sense to me, but it is dearer to just buy the second two box sets. Crazy marketing. Wait and buy the complete box sets which are better value.
I will pay top dollar for a proper book by one of my favourite authors knowing I will get value for money.
I have other books by this author that are great and fairly priced.

I purchased Called by the Bear ~ Book 3 as part of the Called by the Bear ~ Complete Trilogy.
Carly Le Roux develops her special powers as she works to save the Northeast Kingdom. Victor Veilleux and his mother Patricia both are working to get the Sierra's three baby boys. Both of their evil is revealed in the final book of the trilogy. Taylor is drawn into the plot with a slow poison and magic to move the plot forward to the climatic surprise ending.
I loved that Victor found a good side of himself with the help of his mate Lily and that as the Prima of the Clan she grew stronger although she was faced with a very hard choice but ending fulfilling her prophesy to save a clan.

Not Bad
The author finally got the good guys winning, but with the lost of a very loving person. Carly became an amazing person. Wish the series was a little longer.

Amazing adventure
Loved this entire series, and looking forward to the next. The LaRue clan is slowly finding love and unfortunately heartache in their search to break the curse of having future generations. The LaRue, Veilleux, and Robichaux clans have had their struggles and differences, but a re trying to learn to work together for the betterment of all, or are they. So many hidden agendas and questions, can they all be answered? Can't wait to start the next series in this collection.
