Review: Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston

March 26, 2013 by admin 6 Comments

Wolf With Benefits by Shelly Laurenston (Pride #8) Paranormal Romance March 26, 2013 Brava Reviewed by May  The hybrid studied the jackal for several long seconds before he nodded. “Schedules, I understand.” Then he looked down at Reece and roared in his face, “Schedules! Learn the concept!” I must begin this review by stating that Mr. Novikov (aka my favorite character in this series) got a good amount of page time and scenes – which delighted me endlessly. I simply adore him because he Continue Reading

Review: Howl For It by Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden

October 12, 2012 by admin 4 Comments

Released: August 28, 2012 Paranormal Romance Brava Reviewed by May A pair of paranormal romance novellas, each around 150 pages long and each features a wolf shifter, finding true love, and of course trouble with humans. For me the reading experience was very uneven - I adored the one story and merely tolerated the other. Like a Wolf With a Bone by Shelly Laurenston “Are you talking about condoms?” Lord, he looked absolutely mortified. “Yeah. Condoms.” “It’s ok to mention Continue Reading

In here we meet polar bear undercover detective Lou (Crush) Crushek and feline hockey enforcer and Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–December 2nd

December 2, 2011 by Mandi 23 Comments

10. My Week - I have been under the weather this week with a cold, sore throat, fever thing. Hubs has moved to the couch and has relocated his toothbrush to the guest bathroom. (Gee, germaphobe, much?) But that’s okay because I’ve had company from my friend Nyquil. He is a lovely fellow. A little bitter to start. His personality is tough to swallow..but after you get to know him, he is so soothing. He let’s me sleep all night, although he leaves me feeling a little funky in the morning. I’m Continue Reading

Review: Big Bad Beast by Shelly Laurenston

May 20, 2011 by Tori 36 Comments

Big Bad Beast (Pride #6) by Shelly Laurenston Paranormal Romance May 1, 2011 Trade Paperback Brava Reviewed by Tori Favorite Quote: “It’s Miss. Nice Southern girls use Miss.” “Then I guess that still makes you a Ms.” I ADORE Shelly Laurenston and her crazy unpredictable shifters. When I received Big Bad Beast for review I decided to get the first one, The Mane Event, so that I could get an insight into the overall arc. From there I went and got her whole back list and spent the Continue Reading
