I love Slade. When I first read Book One, Undescribable, I was so in love with him by the end, I couldn’t wait for the next story. So I was thrilled to finally have Unbearable on my Kindle and could not wait to get started. Shantel Tessier did not let me down. Unbearable picks up where Undescribable leaves off. A recent tragedy has left poor Samantha to deal with the circumstances and with a lot of different emotions, particularly guilt and sorrow. Slade, of course, is there for her 100% and wants nothing more than to make all her pain and anguish disappear. He tries so hard to be the best boyfriend he can, which for him is pretty much new, uncharted territory. And while Sam can appreciate his efforts, she has a lot to work through in her head, and at times this does put strain on their relationship. But no worries, she makes it pretty clear early on that she and Slade will weather the storm and their relationship will be even stronger as a result.Slade, of course, is his usual hot alpha-self. He wants nothing more than to protect Sam (Angel) from anything and everything that might cause her pain or unhappiness. While his intentions are all good, Sam is not always thrilled with this over-bearing Slade; this causes some tension between them. And at times I agreed with her and wanted to just yell at Slade to chill out and leave her be. Then at other times I completely understood his actions and his intentions, and I wanted to yell at Sam to just listen to him for once and stop being stubborn! But this is what their relationship is made of and it is what makes the book so fun to read.I will admit, I did feel at times in the beginning of Unbearable, that things were moving a little slowly. There were a couple of points where I found myself wishing for more action and less reflecting. But I also know that the reflections, both Sam’s and Slade’s, are necessary for the reader to truly understand what is going on with them and it certainly did not make me want to stop reading. The plot does pick up, and in fact an aspect of mystery is even introduced into the story, something that I really enjoyed. We also are introduced to a new male character, Tate, and he comes to us with secrets and sexiness! I love his role in the story and I am hoping he is actually going to get his own story one of these days. He definitely has a lot to tell!I also loved the supporting characters and how they each played a vital role in this book. We are reacquainted with Courtney, Josh, Holly and Micah, as well as Slade’s parents and we even meet Missy, a new younger friend who Sam comes to adore and you will too.I highly recommend Unbearable to all the Undescribable fans out there. While we do get a really sweet HEA, we are also left somewhat hanging, and in desperate need of the third and final book, which I am hoping Shantel Tessier will release very soon! ☺
