I can not say which book I have loved the most of the 3 books I have read of this series but I will say this I did love Cleo and Peter’s story.

Cleo was working for Mayor Peter Conrad. They would causally flirt back and forth. Every Friday he would ask her out on date and every time she would turn him down. He should of know something was up when she finally agreed. Red flags should of been going up. It is sort of funny Cleo wanted a shifter preferable a wolf shifter what she did not know was Peter a bear shifter.

Peter had a lot on his plate. Here he was the mayor and to top that off he was having to hid the fact that he was a shifter. Every since he saw Cleo he knew she was his mate. I loved how he gave her a job so he could secure that he would be near his mate and try to win her heart.

The shifter community is at stake. Someone is claiming to have evidence that shifters are real. Just something else on Peter’s plate. Peter will have an important decision to make.

Cleo gets some news. This news is something she does not want to hear. She is has a decision to make. The question is will she be honest with Peter or will she deceive him to get what she wants.

Loved this story.

     Amazing how these Authors have done a phenomenal job writing this story. It is so easy to read her books when each sentence flows smoothly from page to page. And you want to see what's coming next you can't put the book down. This whole series is an oldie but definitely a goodie.
    Cleo likes her job working for the mayor, they joke around and mayor asks her to dinner and of course she said no this happens every Friday. But today is different Cleo has a secret and in order to provide for that secret she needs the mayor's help. What if the mayor won't help her?
     Mayor Peter Conrad loved Seattle and as Mayor it let him work with people to help clean up his city. Peter had a secret, you see he is a bear shifter but no human knows because his political career would be over, he has two more years left. But sometimes having a secret is hard to hide.
     A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

I received a free book and voluntarily chose to review it. You can read this book out of order if you choose because there is only one spoiler in this book. I think that Cleo is as strong as the previous women in this series. She wants one thing and plans on getting it. There is some humor surrounding this book’s title.There is a lot going on in Seattle.

Great fast paced story. This book was filled with unexpected twist that no one saw coming there also sociopaths, secrets, humor, and let's not forget steamy romance. Overall a very enjoyable read looking forward to seeing what else is going to happen in the series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC I haven't been compensated in anyway.

Bear Actually is a fantastic book! Shifters living in Seattle!! What more can a reader who loves shifters want? Is Peter going to have to expose himself as being a shifter? Will Cleo and Peter find their way to be together? Read this book and find out! This book is very well written and a joy to read. I could not stop reading it once I started. I can not wait to read more of this series.
I volunteered to read this book and am leaving an honest review.

Cleo has climbed the ranks in the Mayors office. He is a fair employer and let's face it easy on the eyes!! Her friends have all recently found love and Cleo is slowly being led into the shifter world hiding in Seattle. She doesn't care that her friends lovers turn into animals - as long as they love her girls she's happy. If she could find a shifter of her own she'd be even happier.

When Cleo gets devastating news she finally gives into the weekly dinner requests by her boss, Peter Conrad, and proceeds to get royally hammered!!! Peter realises that there is something eating away at Cleo and takes her home with him to look after. But he's got problems of his own. Some scummy lawyer is trying to blackmail him into getting rid of another shifter - unaware the Peter is one too!!!

Peter knows Cleo is his mate but wanted to keep a low profile while in office, but when things take a turn for the scary and Cleo is put in harms way, look out world there is an pee'd off bear on the prowl!!!

Great, fast paced read. Cleo is adorable when she tries to be detached in her quest for a baby daddy! She's really not cut out for unemotional hook ups. Peter is a great mayor but if he keeps putting the city first he might just lose his mate!!! I loved the ending - talk about going out with a bang!!

Fabulous!
