I loved that rather than sticking with the usual werewolf story, Laurenston's story is filled with a wide variety of shifters. I cannot believe I've been missing out on such a great story universe for such a long time. It was a pleasant surprise to me how good the story and characters were. I decided to give it a try when offered it for free for a limited time on the Kindle. This is the first book by Shelly Laurenston that I have read. The story has romance, action, humor, a well-developed universe with its own politics and prejudices, and, of course, the paranormal. From there, with the assistance of their scheming friends, they find themselves placed together and falling in love. Show More fellow hybrid friend, Blayne, and he is startled, giving help unwittingly. Not when she's come to mean absolutely everything to him. Why? Because this is Gwen-and no matter what the hissing, roaring, drape destroying feline says about not being ready to settle down, Lock knows he can't simply walk away. Lock probably shouldn't get involved, but he will. Watching out for the family and friends closest to her but missing the fact that she's being stalked by a murderous enemy who doesn't like hybrids.and absolutely hates Gwen. She's sexy beyond belief and smart as hell, but she's a born protector. Gwen-half lioness, half tigress, all kick-ass-does neither. At nearly seven feet tall, Lock is used to people responding to him in two ways: screaming and running away. He actually watches out for her, protects her, and unlike the rest of her out-of-control family manages not to morbidly embarrass her. Yet despite his menacing ursine growl and four-inch claws, Gwen finds Lachlan "Lock" MacRyrie cute and really sweet. But what is she supposed to do with a nice, suburban Jersey boy in the form of a massive Grizzly shifter? Especially one with a rather unhealthy fetish for honey, moose, and.uh.well, her. Growing up on the tough Philly streets, Gwen O'Neill has learned how to fend for herself.

In Shelly Laurenston's laugh-out-loud funny, deliciously sexy novel, a shape-shifting Grizzly and a single dangerous feline collide-and discover untamed, unstoppable attraction.
