Read some of my earlier reviews and it's clear that I'm a
Shelly Laurenston super-fan. I have loved all of her books
and have read each one multiple times. They are my literary
equivalent of a security blanket; they are the books I read
when I want something warm, comforting, and familiar. In her
latest book, WOLF WITH BENEFITS, Ms. Laurenston has given me
words that capture the basis of my affinity for her shifter
word. Ricky Lee Reed, patient and powerful wolf shifter,
espouses the philosophy that "if you wait long enough...the
entertainment often comes to you." That's how I feel about
Shelly Laurentson's books. Though a year between books
sometimes seems interminable, I can be patient because I am
certain the entertainment is coming my way in the form of
out-of-control shifters, hot and heavy romance, and
animalistic ferocity.
WOLF WITH BENEFITS is one of Ms. Laurenston's most
entertaining books to date. I absolutely adored the romance
between Ricky Lee, member of the Smith pack and "one of the
Reed boys," and Toni Jean-Louis Parker. Toni, the oldest
daughter of a family of jackal shifters (we met her parents
in When He Was Bad), keeps her genius siblings
organized and out of jail. She has kept the house in a
state of controlled chaos for years. Now she's feels torn
between wanting a life of her own and caring for her family.
Ricky is just the man to help her find the calm in the
midst of the storm, take some steps to build a career of her
own, and risk trusting a man who knows the importance of
family. Being a security expert, he also comes in handy
when an unexpected threat endangers the Jean-Louis Parker
siblings.
This latest book in the Pride series brings back some old
friends and introduces some new favorites. The Jean-Louis
Parker siblings are scary, narcissistic, brilliant,
charming, and funny. Needless to say, I loved them and hope
to see them again. We also meet Toni's best friend Olivia
Kowalski whose animal nature keeps everyone guessing. When
her shifter form was finally revealed it all made perfect
sense, I thoroughly enjoyed trying to guess her animal
nature. While WOLF WITH BENEFITS is less violent and sexual
than some of the earlier books it is definitely one of the
funniest books in the series so far. I can't wait to see
what's next!!
There's nothing like a good–'ol–boy wolf.
And ace
security expert Ricky Lee Reed serves, seduces, and protects
with all the right moves...
Sure, Toni
Jean–Louis Parker
has to be the responsible oldest sister to a
crazy–brilliant
clan of jackal siblings. But now she's cutting loose for
some hot, sweaty, no–commitments fun—and the
sexy,
slow–talking, swift–moving predator assigned to
keep her
family safe is just the right thing to shapeshift her love
life into overdrive. Trouble is, he's starting to get all
obsessive wolf on her every time he looks in her
direction...
Getting serious about anyone isn't in
Ricky
Lee Reed's plans. Hell, even now he doesn't really have a
plan—outside of catching whomever is threatening this
dangerously brilliant family. But the more he gets of Toni,
the more he's howling for her. And whatever it takes to
convince her what they have is everything, well, this wily
wolf is down for the sizzling chase...
