Moira shared a beyond words night with the bear shifter of her dreams, but after she took him up on what she thought was a offer of forever, her heart takes a beating. He had only made the offer to join the Lone Pine Pack because the pack needed her ... he had only wanted a distraction. She was left with UNBEARABLE DESIRE for the loner she had fallen for.

Hugo had been in love with love for so long that he didn't know the real thing even when it was right in front of him. His unrequited feelings for his Alpha's mate had him emotionally unavailable. Now she might be free of the loveless marriage as the Alpha steps down for his successor. So why is the thought of his love possibly being free not exciting him? Could it be that what he felt all those years ago for her wasn't real and what he felt for Moira was?

Nothing worse than a confused bear ... well except maybe a female bear who has had enough.

UNBEARABLE DESIRE is a fascinating look into what happens to a couple who don't listen to their hearts. Hugo has his heart set on one woman, and doesn't realize that the one standing before him is his perfect match. Moira finds Hugo, misunderstands him then tries to make her life in the same pack without him ... but he's still hanging around. I have to admit that Hugo irritated me because he kept sending out mixed messages. I also felt Moira was a bit too much of a martyr and glutton but I could understand why she felt the way she did. When your heart is involved it lets you do dumb things. I enjoyed the back story that author Vivi Andrews gives us concerning this couple, the alpha's and the pack. I love the Lone Pine books and though this one might not be my favorite, it is a good continuation of the series. I look forward to more in this series and anything else Ms. Andrews comes up with.
