Nadia gets to the Ouellette clan territory. She discovers the one person she thought she would never run into all her life. If fate really throwing her a bone finally?
Izzy and Jean are having problems, but not the problems you would think. They find out a not so nice woman is even more sinister then what they thought. And shocked that she would stoop to so low as to steal a baby. How will they clean this problem up?

Kelsey is in a panic she doesn't understand why she's under arrest. Who is this Cat person? Why does she look like her? And where is her Val? Will Jean help her set everyone straight or will she dealt with swiftly by the clan for nothing?
Tally is happy for the most part, but is still sad that her would be lover is a portal. She has been keeping busy to try and keep her mind off the problem. But Jean wants to break the spell. Who casted it and why?

I love it & am just desperate for the rest of them to become available to me in paperback. If it were possible I would already have the rest of them right now & half way through the next one. Unfortunately I can't get them yet, so I'll wait to see what happens next with Tally while she is trying to find out who has been stirring up trouble in the Canada bear area. I am guessing but not sure who is behind it yet.

Incomplete with cliffhanger not worth the $5.99 I spent on this for sure. At this price I can’t recommend especially since it’s 152 pages not completed had it been.99cents then I’d say buy it but this $5.99 no way 👎

Desired by the Bear 2 is the second book in the Werebear Romance by V. Vaughn. It's a great continuation of the first book Desired by the Bear.

Tally is sucked through the portal and a shocking truth is revealed to her, she knew she had to tell Jean Luc about Rachel. Imagine her surprise when she is accidentally pulled into another portal and she takes Nadia with her. Nadia had just found her true mate,René before being sucked into this other dimension. Having just found her true mate could this threaten her chance at happiness and take away the man she loves?

Izzy is working with her mate, Jean Luc trying to keep the clan safe from hunters that loom in the future. Now they were dealing with trying to figure out what kind of women would steal a baby and telling Jean Luc's friend, Henri that he had a daughter,Kelsey. Kelsey was just a girl starting her dream job, to finding out she was half werebear and falling in deeper love with Val to be thrown in jail being accused of being a hunter by the name of Cat. As Kelsey gets ready to become a werebear, evil forces are planning their next step to alter Kelsey fate. Will these evil forces succeed in their plan for Kelsey and destroy the Ouellette clan? Read the next book to find out.

As always I can't say enough good things about V. Vaughn werebear books. I actually loved the way the cliffhanger ended in this book and I never thought I would say that. That story just lead right up to it in the right way and it wasn't forced. I can't wait for the next book to come out. I'm patiently waiting!! Lol

Romance, betrayal, adventure, danger

This second book in the Desired by the Bear series is even better than the first. Join Tally, Nadia, Izzy, and Kelsey as they have the adventures of their lives, all revolving around their werebear heritage and true mates.

Kelsey 's life took a turn for the strange when she moved to Safe Harbor and met her boyfriend Val. She learned that she is a werebear and so is Val. But now she is in danger from Val's clan because they believe her to be a hunter, but she has no clue who this 'Cat' is or why they think she is her. Her mother has kept secrets from Kelsey and now all will come to light, and shock will befall Kelsey and her mother.

Nadia's modeling career ended when hunters found her, and now she is trying to adjust to life in Sage Harbor. When she meets Reńe she instantly knows he is her true mate, and they rush to commensurate their lives together. Now both their lives have changed forever and they will need to learn to be with one another.

Izzy is enjoying her live with her Alpha mate Jean Luc and happy with her pregnancy, but as secrets unfold in the clan, revelations will come about and upset the very lives of many in the clan.

Tally is thriving as the clans medicine woman, but the time portal that she experienced has a learning curve, and when she gets pulled into a second one she ends up taking Nadia with her. All does not go well though, and she must rush to save Nadia. Can she get to her in time?

What will happen with the clan, and will they end up happy in the end?

This is the second story in a trilogy. You have Nadia Boucher used to be a model until Caitlyn a hunter tried to kill her. Now she is with the Ouellette Clan and decides to train to become a Warrior, but two unbelievable twists happen to her. Then you have Izzy Ouellette is the prima for the Ouellette Clan, True Mated to the Alpha Jean Luc and, compliment of carrying triplets, she is constantly tired and hungry. Then Kelsey and Val are True Mates but Kelsey and her mother Rachel are taken by the Warriors for questioning because they thought to be hunters. Hunter's kill shifters, could they be hunters? And finally you have Tally who is a Witch for the Ouellette Clan, and Marcel Du Veau, who she has been avoiding.

Tally is sucked through the portal and a shocking truth is revealed to her, she knows she had to tell Jean Luc about Rachel (Kelsey’s mother). Imagine her surprise when she is accidentally pulled thru another portal and she takes Nadia with her.

This storyline has a lot of twist and turns in it. Her characters are so amazing, thoughtful, powerful, exhilarating and lovable. The dialogue is always fascinating, humorous and realistic. In the world of shifter romance the possibilities are endless and always fascinating. Will these evil forces succeed in their plan for Kelsey and destroy the Ouellette clan? Read the next book to find out. Without reservations I highly recommend this book and the series.

Wow, since this one is as much about witches as werebears. I have to ask (after reading the end and knowing I have to wait to find out what is going to happen) if Ms. Vaughn has been hanging out with those gals, learning how to be wicked. Every page is filled with information, steam, wonderful characters, old friends, and/or more mystery. Just to give you an example, twins separated at birth are ...nope not gonna tell you no spoilers. But that is just one new part of the book. Of course, you know there are going to be more fated mate joinings. However, we have witches thrown into the mix. Do witches mix with bears, humans, and if not who do they match?

In this one, the bear clans are dealing hunters out to eradicate them. The witches are not just the good kind, meaning they have to fight the black magic as well. Hunters. Black Witches. Steam, lots of steam. This is jam packed with new enemies and battles simply to exist.

I read start to finish, just like I did with her other Bear series. One thing I know when I pick up a book by V. Vaughn, I'm not gonna be disappointed and I sure wasn't. This was just part two. Make sure you read part one first, this is a series, however, an absolutely excellent read.
This is my honest review of this advance reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.

Kelsey is working for the Ouellette boating company but two of their warriors take her and her mom to Jean-Luc thinking she was a hunter they had meet and even her mate could not convince them other wise good thing Jean-luc knew better and handle it.
Kelsey is fitting in and getting to know her father then her, mom calls asking her to meet for coffee. Doesn't end well WOW what a cliffhanger! I sooooo can't wait for the next book! This story is amazing. It's like a were bear soap opera. Because it deals with so many characters and their stories in the one book and so well written.
Nadia finds her true mate! René. Yeah I have been so rooting for her since she has been thought so much.
Lot of stuff is going on but I can't give you a play by play you need to read it but it's action packed, drama, spice, betrayal and mystery! Truly amazing
Voluntarily reviewed and I honestly LOVED it

The story continues to capture your interest in this second book in the series. There are so many changes in store for the characters. Important secrets are revealed and lead to major changes in their lives. There is more danger too as it appears they have some real enemies determined to hurt them.

I am always eager for the next book to be released to see what is next. I really enjoy how the author alternates handling the story with different characters featured in the chapters. It all works together to give you a more intimate look at the situation. There are some really great love stories emerging and it leaves me hopeful for their futures.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.

Kelsey, Talley, Izzy and Nadia continue to enchant in this enticing drama!. Book 2 begins with Kelsey as she meets her father, Henri. Talley is pulled into another portal but this time Nadia is taken with her! Talley looks into the cause of the portals with 2 other witches, Bella and Kimi. Izzy settled in as prima and with her pregnancy. Nadia has met her mate and is finding her groove when mayhem strikes in more ways than one. Just when you thought things were going well...
Suspense, danger, secrets, plot twists and lies all merge to entice and delight! Emotions go through the roof as you hang on for the ride! All I can do is wonder, what's next? Enjoy!

Wow just when things seemed to be coming up love and roses Tally, Izzy, Kelsey, and Nadia Fate throws evil curve balls. Despite the constant danger from Hunters the Ouellette clan has a lot of love going around, they also have some magic hijinks that have some possibly devastating consequences if they cannot figure out the origin. I am a big fan of Ms. Vaughn’s writing, and I love the characters of the Bear Kingdoms the most! This latest storyline definitely does not disappoint, well written, full of emotion, excitement and that sudden twist, just don’t die falling off the cliffhanger !

More! I want more!

This is book 2 and while it answers some questions from the first book, it's killing me to know the answers to this one. This book is an absolute must have. You must read book 1 first, otherwise you miss so much. But now I'm wondering - so Tally and Marcel? And Caitlyn? And what in the world is going on? Why take her? I read this in one day because I couldn't put it down. Trust me if your a shifter reader/lover you don't want to miss this set!

Excellent and exciting

This series is one of the best. The stories are always new and exciting. Cameos from the original series get even better. Whatever is going on now with the witches and the possessions is suspenseful and exciting. I just do not know what to expect next.

This is a great book...each chapter is a different character but they are all linked together.

Kelsey is taken because she is thought to be a Hunter but the true background of Kelsey comes out.
After a long time Nadia has finally found her mate but she is still worried about the Hunters coming after her so she is not feeling safe.
Someone is spelling the Ouellette clan through their protein powder but for what reason??
