The Eradicators’ abduction of Kelsey, long lost daughter of the Ouellette second-in-command, is a diversion tactic that has Jean Luc and his team wondering what the hunters have planned. When Tally calls up an evil from the past, she discovers a coven of black magic witches are working with the hunters, and they pose a much greater danger to the clan than she’d realized. The tiny witch must risk her life for the clan and the future of all werebear in the Northeast Kingdom, and she needs the hope of a life with Marcel and the strength of her fellow witches and Izzy to defeat them. But is it enough, or will the hunters finally gain the upper hand in their quest to eliminate werebear once and for all?

Desired by the Bear Book 3: Werebear Romance
by V. Vaughn
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I love the emotions that were in this story! It was very touching andI felt apart of the story and it so real. I don't want this series to end! The characters were amazing and went with the flow. It's a very fascinating, interesting and phenomenal story. What a well told paranormal romance, I am excited about the
title and the romance, V. Vaughn did a wonderful job of writing it. I don't have enough words to say about this book that would do it justice, I loved that I get to
visit with previous characters and introduce to new characters that's what I enjoy about this story! A fantastic story about finding the perfect love for you and that you will fight for the right to keep it. I enjoyed that there are many twists and turns to this story that I don't want to ruin it for any other reader. So I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. In this story Ouellette clan has someone abducted by the Eradicators and Tally calls on evil for information and risks her life for the clan. Another thing I especially like in this story (and a fair number of her other stories) is that V. Vaughn crafts and hones the developing relationship between the characters, she creates simmering sexual tension and sizzling sex scenes. Omg this story is so amazing on so many levels. I cannot think of one character I did not like. Honestly, I'm hoping this becomes a huge series because the supporting cast of characters can have their own story and I would be excited to read them. I cannot say enough good things about this story and I feel it's certainly be one of my favorite reads, It's a great read. I would recommend this to everyone who loves a steamy romance with suspense, witches, were-bears in the story. It's a great book that I will read again and again! I voluntarily reviewed this book, because I love sharing my thoughts with my fellow readers.

I love the suspense with the magic. Tally and a few other witches get together & decide they have to use a little black magic much against all their beliefs to find some answers about what it going on. They conjure up the spirit of the evil leader who had died to ask him what he knew in exchange of seeing his wife again. To stay alive to do so he is using Tally's magic & lifeforce. He disappears with his wife & Kimi the witch who was supposed to watch him. If they don't find him soon he will drain Tally & kill her. The other witches are trying to find a way to break the bond connecting them. They figure out a spell but to do that, they need two werebears with powerful magic to anchor them so they don't get pulled into the spell. This could be dangerous. They think he might have struck a bargain with Cassandra. She is an evil witch who is very strong & would love to get all their power. When they call the women who have the right power to do this. They can't believe that they did this thing. They are also on their way to help their friends. While this is going on another group of werebears are out searching for Kelsey. She has not been changed yet, so she doesn't have any power to shift or bear strength to defend herself. She has been kidnapped by a group of hunters who had her twin sister in their camp for a time. She is in a cage trying to think her way out when Linda, who had been friends with Caitlyn offers her food & a sleeping bag against the cold. She finds out she is the only woman here & not treated well. Linda talks to her a while then goes off after promising to bring her more food in the morning. The next day she brings her a fairly good breakfast & talks a little more before she leaves. Kelsey doesn't think she is here by choice, if she gets out she is taking her with her. The bears finally find her. They get her out, thinking it was too easy. Kelsey remembers a bag on the floor & thinks they might have been videotaped. They get her home. Val, her mate decides he is going to change her tonight. The others get the spell ready to save Tally & send Victor back to where he belongs. They tell the werebear women they asked for help, no matter what to stay outside the circle. They do the spell, one by one they get pulled into the vortex & end up in Cassandra's spell circle. Tally's Mate jumps in to help. He borrows some of Tally's power she had gotten back to turn werebear & fight Victor to distract everyone. Tally is awake enough to see what is happening she borrows some of the other witches' power to gain strength & feels her connection to the other two still on the other side of the vortex. She starts using their power as well. She gets enough power to fight Cassandra & knock Victor out of the circle, which will break the spell. Her mate grabs Lily & yanking her into the circle to keep her safe. They all get pulled back into the vortex & into Tally's yard. She is free, Victor is back down below where he belongs. Kimi finally turns up, unhappy Cassandra got the drop on her. Kelsey wakes up changed & asks the bears to save Linda. It is agreed. They go in with Caitlyn at the store she shops at by herself to ask if she would like to go with them. She agrees. They go back to bear country. Kelsey has been to the gym to train & is dejected she doesn't want fight. She is feeling pathetic. Val offers to be her trainer. They go up on a hill to walk & find the hunters have tracked them there. Val sends out a mental S.O.S. call. Caitlyn & Linda come up the hill. Linda distracts them & kills the leader. Later Tally & her mate get married.

PASSIONATE ROMANCE-DANGER & BLACK MAGIC

An enthralling conclusion to a fantastic series; horrific evil threatens to destroy the werebears for good; the werebears are determined to end the Eradicators before they can destroy their world. New friendships are formed, new loves found and a happy ever after when all the obstacles are conquered.

When Kelsey is kidnapped by the Eradicators she is locked in a cage and truly doesn’t understand why they took her. Tally is forced to use black magic to fight and rid the evil that threatens to destroy the werebears. Unfortunately, using black magic can be deadly and always comes with a price; what will it be?

An incredible fast-paced well-written read. You are immediately drawn into the story with a full cast of praise-worthy characters; the dynamic plot, witty dialogue, and powerful vivid scene descriptions hold your attention. Each chapter is thrilling and has you turning pages to learn what comes next. The romances are filled with fiery passion and the suspense is intense. If you treasure shifter romance this is certainly a terrific book/series for your library. {I loved this book and voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy.} Without reservations, I recommend this book/series.

Great Storyline

This was a very good storyline. From the first book in this series to this one the author has brought them from through a lot. From Faith, hope, to loss yet found an forgiven. Looking forward to seeing many more from Safe Harbors residents.

[Helen Martins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow what an amazing conclusion to the Desire by the Bear series. This book ties up all the loose ends and answers all questions for a great finish. You are instantly captivated from page one and won't be able to put the book down until the very end. The characters are likeable and lovable. The storylines are amazing. A PNR lovers dreams. As sad as I am to see this series to end, I know Ms. Vaughn will have another on to entice us with!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

I have followed this series since book one I LOVE it. This is the conclusion to the Desired by the Bear part. It centers around
Nadia Boucher and René
Izzy and Jean Luc Ouellette (Alpha and Prima to the Clan in Safe Harbor, Canada)
Kelsey and Val
Tally and Marcel Du Veau

I cannot express how much this book will suck you in, There is action, adventure, mystery, dark magic and Light (Tally and Izzy)
The connections to the characters is immense. You will laugh and cry with them. And be so happy to see that they have a beautiful HEA ending.
I highly recommend this book!

Finally the hunters are meeting their match

Who would have thought little Tally could be so strong. The witches of the clans played a big part in this story. A very emotional read that had me on edge the entire time. With all the twists and turns I couldn't anticipate what might happen next. I felt we were going to loose a number of key characters. I was able to end the story happy and relieved.

[Barbara · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book will just keep you wanting more I just had to know what would happen next, somehow I did not see this ending happening I am now going to go back and read all these books together.I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

[Heather · Rating 5 out of 5]

HOLY HELL! The twist continue to come! I was hooked and did not put this book down. I did hate to see it end though. The Hunters are still making life hell and they are playing dirty. A little black magic is involved, oh you know that will not turn out good. Do not even try to figure it out, just go with the flow because like all of the others there will be a twist. There is finally a HEA and no cliffhanger in this one, however with so much going on it was interesting to see how everything tied together and completed.
I loved this book and the entire trilogy as well as the other books that are in this world.

[Pam Louis · Rating 5 out of 5]

In safe harbor tally and 4 other of the strongest clan witches in the northeast have to fight evil with evil to find out who is behind trying to hurt the were bears clan they have sworn to protect. Then there is Marcel a werebear thats sure the little witch Tally is his true mate and he will do anything to save her from danger and make her his. And soooooo much more!
Wow just wow. What an amazing story. There is SO much to this story it's hard to give a what's going on in this story and series! They are amazing but you have to read them in order it get the full amount of fun. They play off each other, fantastic storyline!
Great characters that come to life before your eyes! Awsome mystery, action, drama and spice! This is a must read for shifter fans. You will not be disappointed.
Voluntary reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.

[Linda Levine · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is lots of action in this third book in the series. You have the Eradicators out to get the clan. They take dramatic action. Tally and the witches make a dangerous choice to take on those after the clan.

I really like how all the relationships have grown among the mates. There is a real strong sense of family among the clan members. For those who have read all of the related series, you get to revisit with some of those older characters which I always enjoy. You can see hope for their future. I highly recommend you read all the werebear series by this author.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.

[Jessica Mitchell · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you have not read the other two before this book you will be lost.

Kelsey has been kidnapped out from under the Ouellette clan noses and taken out of their territory. But where is the Eradicators territory? Are they still in Canada or are they somewhere else? Better yet what plans do they have in store for her.

Tally must gather the forces to try save Kelsey and the clan she loves. So with other witches and warlocks they gather together to do something that will leave a definite bad taste in their mouth. What she just doesn't realize how deep into Blackmagic the hunters are. And who is helping them, doesn't help matters any more or make it any easier to get the information they need. Other than her dry love life she hopes she can fix that when all is said and done with witches and hunters. Will she get the love she always wanted with Marcel too?

Marcel knows a lot more than what he says. He believes Tally is his True Mate whether she or anyone else believes it or not. With his Seer abilities, he can do something but not a lot. Will he be able to save Tally and everyone else.

Caitlyn is trying to learn the ropes living with family and being a human who can turn into a werebear with enough anger. So to keep her busy and focused. Jean Luc wants her working out at the gym with Nadia. But they might not have to keep her busy for long..

[Sharon Hatt]

Right from page one this one grabs on and sinks its teeth into you! Still told from the POV of Tally, Izzy, Nadia and Kelsey there is so much going on it is almost hard to believe it when you hit the end! In order to find out information about the Eradicators Tally and her witch friends use black magic to bring back the last person you would expect, of course that goes horribly wrong. Kelsey needs rescued, then rescues one of her capturers in return. Tally may make the ultimate sacrifice to save not only the Ouellette clan but the entire Northeast Kingdom. Magic, mayhem, and of course plenty of bear lovin make this a total page turner that cannot be put down till you know if all the characters you have come to love all have their HEA.

Loving these bears more than I thought possible

For a clan who did not like half breeds and humans the final story of this clan made me smile, families are together again, babies are coming into the clan and their medicine woman is with her true love, I have loved all of her books and this one to bring the end of this part is one of my favorite
