Mischief "Missy" Jones turned down a full ride to attend a local college because it kept her close to Nene ... the foster mother who loves and understands her. That hadn't been an easy task for the woman because Missy is different. The only one of her kind she has ever known about. However, soon she will learn many different things including all about MISCHIEF, MONGRELS AND MAYHEM. Cade Hayes has a mission and taking the job as a teaching assistant at the college is perfect. This way he can scout the territory he plans to claim for his pride. The last thing he expects to find is a mongrel especially one that doesn't have any idea that there are other beings out there including wolves, mountain lions, bears, etc. He also didn't expect to find the one that turns his mountain lion on like crazy. Missy is insulted then intrigued by Cade's words and in a short time she starts to learn that she isn't alone ... she might be mixed breed a "liger" but there are others who accept her as a shifter. Unfortunately the sexy, TA is a bossy, pain in the butt and wants to claim her. Not happening? Missy doesn't take orders ... but she might fall in love. MISCHIEF, MONGRELS AND MAYHAM is a sexy, very fun read that you will devour in one sitting. This is book one of the ROAR series and I found the set up very interesting because aside from the love story of Missy and Cade you will be introduced to a help hotline that has been set up by a mysterious duo to help young shifters in need and a bar owned by a Kodiak that is considered neutral territory. A very neat concept that could probably be used by human college students who need someone to turn to. I admit I do not normally read YA as I am older and have trouble understanding all the angst and complications in this genre, but confusion and feeling alone is something that I can understand. You can almost feel the joy overcoming Missy when she learns that she isn't the only one like herself. As far as Cade being a jerk about her being a "mongrel" I thought it hilarious when he realizes that the "mongrel" is going to be his mate. The secondary characters; a couple of guys from Cade's pride, a professor at the college and a very tough Kodiak bear with all their varied and intriguing personalities add a lot of support, humor and peaked interest into this new world. Heather Long is one of my favorite authors and my only complaint with this one was it was way too short... I wanted more.

SUMMARY

She has a future to decide on.… Mischief Jones—Missy to her friends—has never taken the easy route in life. She turned down a full ride to a four-year school to attend her local college because it kept her close to Nene, the woman who raised her. A fosterling, she knows better than to share her secrets, and she has choices to make for her uncertain future, but the TA in her history class challenges and fills her with wary interest every time they meet.… Nature made him a leader.… Cade Hayes has a mission, and the last thing he expected to find on the tiny college campus was a mongrel—shifters of dubious parentage and mixed blood. But the mountain lion can’t deny the provocative nature of her scent or the allure to stalk her and make her his. He should drive her away; her presence threatens his claim for territory and his pride needs land, but he rapidly discovers he hungers to take this mongrel for a mate.… In a fight to survive…will a mountain lion tame a liger?
