When the opportunity arises to go home, he ready to take that final step and claim Emma for his own. However, his mate is hiding something huge. The only question is, can he help her pull it off?

Bearing It All is Bodhi and Emma’s story. I was thrilled when Bodhi finally got off his butt and did something about making Emma realize they were meant to be. I liked that Bodhi didn’t dismiss Emma’s self-esteem issues but rather tried to show her how fantastic she truly is. It was nice visiting Window Rock and seeing some of my favorite couples. The story was sweet and sexy fun.

Bodhi can only handle so much of his woman's tactics, “keep licking the darn spoon, pinky, and we might have issues,” Bodhi growled." Kal is still as grumpy as ever, "all the Raferty males snickered, except Kal . He turned to glare at his mate, who seemed totally unconcerned. “Eff, mate. Are you trying to totally kill my rep?” I loved this book, I loved seeing everyone, and this family is so full of love.

I received this story for an honest review...fantastic love/mating story
the reason I gave it 4 stars was because even with the appendix with who everyone was it was still a little confusing until I got about halfway through the book
but still a good story!

Eeeep! I LOVE LOVE LOOOOVED Bearing It All! An excellent story with so many great characters and some little twists that kept me on my toes. This romance was and is a sexy, sassy, full of so much action with the romance brewing and getting serious with Bodhi and Emma along with all the excitement from everything in between, it made for a heck of gripping read.

TL Reeve and Michele Ryan know how to co-write a spectacular story together! I like how they seem to mesh their talent together to create something fresh and amazing in a genre where I think I seen it all. These two authors made me feel like I was reading the genre in a new light and I like that a whole lot! I am really attached to this series and can't wait to see what else is next from them.

Bearing It All gets a SENSATIONAL FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

Such a fan!!!

I love these mated couples. This family pulled me in and hasn't let go. Bohdi and Emma are great. I love the way he handled her insecurities. It was fun to.see Emma start giving it back to the family instead of shying away. I am so ready for the next couple!!

Love this book!

Emma and Bodhi's story was a wonderful addition to the series. I loved seeing Emma come out of her shell. Having a front row set watching the development of their love has been fantastic. I loved getting the back story Emma and Bodhi.

I liked this story, it had all the characters from Apache County. However, I liked the stories with mysteries better.
