Lydia is the only bear shifter I’ve ever loved. She’s the only woman I’ve ever wanted, and her betrayal still stings.She left me without as much as a goodbye. I didn’t think I could forgive her for crushing my heart, for not saying anything before she left. And I definitely didn’t think I’d see her again, much less at the Black Bear Lake Lodge. Lydia isn’t innocent. Those gorgeous eyes are hiding … Those gorgeous eyes are hiding a secret. She has an agenda, or else she wouldn’t be back. I need to find out what it is, and if it has anything to do with my past. The part of my past that I’d rather forget. Lydia might be here on a mission, but I know her heart is pure.
What we had… was real. What I see in her eyes… is real. Her return will either heal my heart or lead to my ultimate destruction. Well, what’s it going to be?

I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed this second chance romance between Eric and Lydia. Eric has only loved Lydia he’s hurt and angry at her for leaving him without. He’s completely shocked when she shows up out of the blue. Lydia doesn’t want to talk to Eric about the past and Eric knows that she’s not being truthful about why she’s come back after all these years as he thought that he’d never see her again. Lydia’s been having foreboding nightmares that Eric’s in danger, she just doesn’t know where the danger is coming from so she’s come back to protect him and is adamant that nothing will happen between them but their chemistry is too strong. Even after hearing about her nightmares Eric doesn’t take it seriously. I love how the brothers protect each other and their mates with everything the have. I noticed a couple of errors but nothing major. I’m looking forward to reading Cody’s book next. I’d definitely recommend this book, series and author to everyone.
The author has done it again. Her characters pull you into their lives and never let you go. The story is heart pounding since we have two different plots to follow. First we have Lydia, the woman who ran when Eric told her that she was his mate, then we have Michelle who only wants to marry Eric and then kill him so she can inherit his share of the lucrative Black Bear Lodge.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Loved this second in the series of the Strauss brothers and the fact that Lydia came back warn Eric because of her nightmares even though many years have passed. Eric and his brothers don’t think anything of her dreams since everything has been going smoothly. Can’t wait for the next one to come out.
The second book in the series brings Eric and Lydia together after a five year separation,giving them a second chance at romance. The author brings an intriguing story with drama,suspense and tons of action as well as a sizzling hot chemistry. The characters are strong and the story moves fluidly. I loved reading and am looking forward to the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
I loved Erics story. Childhood friends, then lovers. He always knew she was his mate when they were kids. He didn’t know why she had left all those years ago and now that she was back, he wondered if he would finally find out why. There is raw emotion between them as well as a little action because of another shifter, Michelle. She is determined to make Eric her mate, but something just doesn’t sit right with him and he can’t really fugue out why. Lydia is back, but she has her e Asian behind it, but is day she overheard a conversation being had and decided to take matters in her own hands to protect he mate, Eric. Grab your copy of this Strauss brother! Highly recommended. Can’t wait foe the next brother story.
I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Wow! I’m absolutely loving this series. Ms White has me captivated with her characters, as well as her well paced, action packed, suspense filled tales of these four Strauss brothers, as they find their ways to all Fate has in store for them.
In this episode, we are enchanted with Eric and his childhood sweetheart Lydia. There’s a lot of history between these two, and not all good. Will they be able to climb the hurdles and put the hurt behind them in order to find their happy ever after? Or will Eric’s most recent past haunt them to an early grave? Oh! The battle has begun. Who will win?
I am so anxious to read the next book in this series. Who will be next? Cody? or Connor?
