THE MANE ATTRACTION begins with Mitchell Shaw thinking
about death at a wedding. Mitch is a lion shape shifter,
who works at a security firm with the groom, a wolf from
the Smith pack. His best friend is Sissy, the groom's
sister. He is supposed to testify at a murder trial as the
only witness and finds out there is a bounty on his head
the day of the wedding. After the wedding, when Mitch and
Sissy are in a room, a bounty hunter gets a shot at him.
He is wounded, and family and friends decide he needs to go
to Sissy's home town in Tennessee to recover and hide out
till the trial, while they try to find out who the shooter
is. Sissy is not happy about going home, but agrees to do it
for her best friend. When they get there, Sissy and Mitch
decide that maybe being more than friends is the way to
go.
THE MANE ATTRACTION had me hooked from the
beginning. I love a
book that catches you from the start with the story and
keeps you laughing out loud with the wit of the
characters. Mitch and Sissy are both great characters and
Sissy's relatives in Tennessee are wonderful additions to
the story.
Ready for something wild? Shelly Laurenston's
sensual, shape-shifting heroes are definitely a breed apart.
But even the king of the beasts can find himself
unexpectedly tamed by the right woman.
Weddings have
the strangest effect on people. How else to explain the fact
that Sissy Mae Smith woke up in Mitch Shaw's bed the morning
after her brother Bobby Ray tied the knot? Or that gunmen
are trying to kill Mitch, and Sissy Mae now has to escort a
bleeding, stubborn, yet still incredibly sexy lion shifter
to her Tennessee Pack's turf to keep him safe? It doesn't
help that Mitch's appraising gaze makes her feel like the
most desirable creature on earth, or that the ultimate stray
cat is suddenly acting all kinds of possessive.
Mitch
is an undercover cop who's about to testify against some
dangerous ex-associates. Even more worrisome, he's harboring
hot, X-rated fantasies about the fast-talking little
canine-and he has to deal with every male in Sissy Mae's
Pack sniffing around her in a way that makes his hackles
rise. Mitch has his pride, and he intends to show Sissy Mae
that when a lion sets out to make you his mate, the only
thing to do is purr, roll over, and enjoy one hell of a
ride.
