THE MANE SQUEEZE

THE MANE SQUEEZE by Shelly Laurenston

The Pride Series Book 4

Synopsis

Growing up on the tough Philly streets, Gwen O'Neill has learned how to fend for herself. 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. Yet despite his menacing ursine growl and four-inch claws, Gwen finds Lachlan "Lock" MacRyrie cute and really sweet. He actually watches out for her, protects her, and unlike the rest of her out-of-control family manages not to morbidly embarrass her. Too bad cats don't believe in forever.

At nearly seven feet tall, Lock is used to people responding to him in two ways: screaming and running away. Gwen-half lioness, half tigress, all kick-ass-does neither. She's sexy beyond belief and smart as hell, but she's a born protector. 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. Lock probably shouldn't get involved, but he will. 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. Not when she's come to mean absolutely everything to him.

Review

The Mane Squeeze is book 4 in The Pride series and features Gwen O'Neill and Lachlan "Lock" MacRyrie (of the Clan MacRyrie). Gwen, while falling for one of the sweetest honey loving bears she's ever met, must deal with an array of family and social issues. Everything from an old family feud, over protective half brothers of half brothers, karaoke loving wild dogs, a psychopathic "sister-in-law", a death defying roller derby to hybrid haters out to kill her. Toss in a couple of slap fights, a few viscous mauling's and you've got one of the most entertaining and hilarious books you could hope for.

Shelly Laurenston has created some of the funniest characters I have ever read. All of her books are LAUGH OUT LOUD funny with good dose of HOT and SEXY.

Nauti Kisses by Lora Leigh

Nauti and Wild : Nauti Kisses #6
http://www.loraleigh.com/

When Sierra Lucas is attacked and her life in danger, there is only one place she can go. To the man she has loved for most of her life. The man she gave her virginity to. To a man that was to drunk to remember.

John C. Walker has fought his feelings for Sierra for years. It's been a year since he saw her last, since she started avoiding him, running from him. He's moved from Boston, created a life and home that is almost complete. And now, with Sierra hurt and in danger he will do everything in his power to keep her safe ... and by his side. All John has to do is keep her safe, eliminate the danger and convince Sierra he won't break her heart - again. And it might take more that a few Nauti Kisses.

John and Sierra's story was great. A wonderful way to end the Nauti series. It tied together some of the elements from a couple of the other books without repeating the other stories. I'll definately miss my NAUTI BOYS.

I've always hoped for a cross-over and will continue on with my little fantasy. Maybe Natches Mackay's son Faisal will become a part of the Tempting Seals or fall for one of the Elite Ops 2 women (which is my favorite theory). I would love to see them come together in some way.
