Denying Dare by Amber Kell is the fourth book in the Moon Pack series.

Anthony, the alpha mate the Moon Pack leader Silver, can't help but see how the club's bartender Dare, is watching his best friend Stephen, as he once again makes advances to a wolf shifter who will never be a match for him. Anthony is very perceptive and intrusive in the love lives of anyone in his pack. Dare is mortified when he realizes that Anthony knows about his feelings for Stephen, especially as they are not returned. Anthony decides to take matters into his own hands by blowing what Stephen soon finds out is catnip at him, enticing Dare, a weretiger shifter, and causing him to stake a claim on Stephan. Stephen gives up; accepting the inevitable, only to discover that Dare is everything he's always looking for. Will Dare finally get his chance with Stephan before the danger lurking in the shadows catches up with them?

Once again, Anthony proved how large and in charge he is. It's hilarious to read how Anthony manipulates, stands up to, and scares the heck out of everyone in the pack. Just seeing his eyes flash, makes pack members run for cover, except his mate Silver! Even with all that, Anthony wants what is best for each pack member and will do whatever needs to be done to ensure their happiness, in spite of their initial feelings! Like Stephen, everyone needs to belong, but sometimes, that desire can cause you to miss what has been in front of you all along. The love between Dare and Stephan was charming and it was interesting to observe how the animal parts of their nature came out as they acknowledged their feelings for each other.
