title: Too Shy to Bear
author: Alders, Amy
description: The mating law changed… Everything changed. At close to 7' tall, talented carpenter and resident strongman Gus MacDonald is a big guy-even among werebears. The love of his life-beautiful, charming and very human, Felicia-is only 5'2, and Gus feels like an awkward oaf every time he gets near her. His bear has wanted her since the first time they met and he's loved her for years, but she was untouchable. Until now. A man she can't have, a man every girl wants. The years of longing looks that sweet, demure, spit-fire Felicia Cole has been getting from the giant Gus has had her brain wrapped up with him and unable to think of anyone else. But, no matter how many opportunities she's given him, no matter how many times she's shamelessly flirted with him, he's never stepped up. She's done wanting someone she can't have while every girl around claims to have taken a taste. That's why it's time to leave Honeycomb Valley. Forever. Fate, a meddling sister and love finally answered. Busted booths and bungled encounters at Honeycomb Valley's County Fair are no match against fate and the love of a meddling sister. With the ban against werebears taking human mates lifted, strongman Gus and spit-fire Felicia find themselves at the mercy of their long, overdue need to become one as they give up any and all excuses to stay apart. WARNING: this story is about overcoming the fear of forbidden, fated love that's no longer forbidden as two lovers destined to be together learn what it means to say "Yes" instead of always running away. If you don't want to read about sweet, goofy, awkward love that was always meant to be, well, this might not be the book for you. But if it is, then dive into this continuation of the Honeycomb Valley were-bear series!
