GIVEAWAY & Toni's Review of Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston ***4.5 Stars***
Shelly Laurenston, New York Times bestselling
author and a star in the paranormal romance genre, comes the eighth book is the
successful Pride series, that blends outrageous humor and sexy shapeshifters to
create irresistible heroes that readers fall in love with.
Ricky Lee has no plans of getting serious about anyone, but
he will protect Toni Jean-Louis Parker. Not just because he’s been hired to do
so, but because it’s the right thing to do. And if that means traveling around
the country with one complicated She-jackal, dealing with chocolate-eating wild
dogs, instigating trouble between his brothers, and having the most amazing sex
he’s ever had…well, who said his job didn’t have perks?
Toni doesn’t know how she keeps getting herself into these
situations. But even she has to admit there’s something about Ricky Lee Reed
that she finds kind of interesting…and downright sexy. Now they just have to
survive long enough to figure out if what they have is worth fighting for…
******************************
First off. I do not love this book because my name is
Toni….*smiles*…I love it because it is kick butt funny, has endearing crazy characters
and a twisted new plot. So why wouldn’t
I love it!
Toni may not be a progeny,
but there is no one that can manage her family better. With ten siblings, yes ten, she has her hands
full. As the oldest in this jackal family
she tends to ensure the safety, security and all around wellbeing of each and
every one of them. She adores them all
and is willing to give up her own happiness to make sure they are happy and
well taken care of. Well about her? She needs to let go and find happiness, but
it might be the hardest and scariest thing she has ever done.
Ricky Lee is the epitome
of laid back. Don’t underestimate him,
but with a rather serious older brother and a prankster younger brother, he
tends to be in the middle in most things.
When he first sees Toni’s wild untamed curls all he wants to do is run
his hands through them. The problem is
she has little linebackers guarding her and they don’t want his interference. Ricky Lee is not deterred. He loves a challenge and he may have just
found one in this little she-jackal.
Once Toni gets the boot
out of her home to go find her own life, she is unexpectedly shackled to a persistent
wolf. He fires her up and is unsure what
to do about it. She has stubborn bears
to negotiate with, siblings to fret over and danger everywhere she goes. On second thought, he actually might just be
the fix she needs to help calm her down.
Why isn’t it perfect that he is all ready to help her out? What a prince!
Toni was an unexpected
pleasure. She’s a character that I think
most moms would be able to relate to.
She is the go to person for everything her family needs and is constantly
being pulled in every direction. I loved
her. Ricky Lee is her complete opposite,
but exactly what she needs. Ms.
Laurenston did a great job uniting these two.
Ms. Laurenston is known
for her scorching romance, but in Wolf
with Benefits it was late in coming.
On one side I was disappointed, but on the other I enjoyed the journey
that these two lovers endured. My disappointment
ended there and trust me, she more than makes up for it. She brought back a few prior characters,
wrote an intriguing plot and once they started burning up the sheets…whoa! I will have to mention that she wrote some “monsters”
that will have you cringing and laughing.
They are bunch of selfish little buggers you want to smack and hug in
the same moment.
