Barrett “Bear” Hallinger knows firsthand the heartbreak they can cause. But when an enticing, human scent drifts into the woods before a dark moon run, Bear can’t stop thinking about the man it belongs to. And he’s sure the heat and innocence of it will draw the oversexed shifters in their group like a dinner bell.
Trevor Kallal doesn’t want to go camping. Bickering parents are bad enough, and then Barrett comes strolling out of the trees glaring at Trevor like he’s done something wrong. Now, Trevor has to manage not to humiliate himself in front of the hottest man he’s ever seen.
To protect Trevor from the shifters who seduce for sport, Bear has to make them believe Trevor’s already been claimed. Bear won’t love a human–he’s lived by that rule since he was a child.
But as he keeps Trevor close to keep him safe, he may learn that some rules were meant to be broken.
His Burden to Bear is a stand-alone novel within the Dark Moon Shifters universe, with no cliffhanger.

Review: Shelley Grayson is a new author for me and I have got to say that for the first book it was amazing. I was kind of shocked to come across a book so well written by an author that I had not read before. Usually I am a bit leery but when I saw the cover I knew I had to look at it. Then I read the blurb and just knew I had to read it. I was so glad to have taken the chance.
Trevor has been forced to go camping with his parents. Now normally it might be fun, except for two things. He didn’t much care for camping and his parents were not actually getting along. So much so that his dad is an ass. He couldn’t even figure out how to set up the tent, but thanks to a sexy man he just might start liking it better. He liked Fallon but was attracted to Bear.
Bear is a grouch and a bear shifter. He is fighting the need to be with the cute human, but it seems fate might just be right. To top it off Fallon’s father has made an appearance and it us to the family to get rid of him. This story is not one of those instant love books, but the mating is hot. To top it off this has more shifters in it than just bears, and there is a lot of shifting going on.
I love how Bear’s family is so close, even though Fallon is actually a wolf shifter. He is quirky, funny as hell and very lovable. He makes for an interesting character, well he does and so does Dmitri.
It is the perfect story for me and gave me all that I needed. I had a blast reading it and I can’t wait to read the next story.
