I really love Shelly Laurenston’s stories. They are full of snark and fun characters. In this book we get to see the next McKilligan sister meet up with her man. Stevie is the baby sister. She’s also a prodigy in several fields including science and music. Her shifter shape is quite interesting and makes her sisters very protective of her.

So two of the McKilligan sisters are hybrids (Charlie and Stevie with middle sister Max being full honey badger), with their father being a honey badger. Their other half varies, as they all have different mothers. Stevie is half tiger.

Stevie also gets along really well with the Jean-Louis Parker family that we originally meet in Wolf with Benefits (Pride #8). They are a family of jackal prodigies. They are all very narcissistic and exceptional at each of their talents. It is probably because Stevie understands them, being a prodigy herself. She is more down to earth than the Jackals, probably because of her crazy sisters. Not to mention the crazy honey badger family. She also has some anxiety which has affected her career and her personal life. She’s also terrified of bears, which makes living among them difficult. There’s a great scene where she overrides her fear by screaming “BEARS!!” as she runs past them, leaving the bears to scratch their heads.

Shen Li is a panda shifter that we meet in Bite Me (Pride #9). He is working as a bodyguard for Kyle Jean-Louis Parker, who is staying at the McKilligan house. Shen is exactly what you think a panda shifter would be like. He’s constantly crunching on bamboo. He’s also very laid back and just rolls with almost anything (hence his ability to deal with Kyle, who is a pain in the rear).

I really love these Shelly Laurenston romances. They have a fun mix of romance, suspense, snark and over-the-top characters that always make me laugh. She is a go-to for a feel good story to get me out of a bad mood and this story was no different.

I’m not sure why Charlotte Kane didn’t read the first book in this series (Not that I minded Traci Odom’s narration. She did a great job too). But she’s back for this book (she also reads the entire Pride series. This series is a spinoff from that series). Charlotte does a great job with the narration. I love all the voices that she chose for each character. I think they all fit their personalities perfectly. There is a large cast with very different personalities and she handles it very well. She really brings out the humor in the series.
