Publisher's summary

Layla Moss came out to the wilderness to get away from the everyday grind. A nice vacation away from all things involving the women's section at her department store was just what the doctor ordered. She enjoyed her job, and sometimes she got to help bumbling, clueless men as they tried to buy something for the lady in their lives. But when her best friend set her up on a blind date with someone else out here in the cabins, Layla was the one who felt clueless.

Ben Best has been called many things in his life. Very few of them were pleasant, but as a park ranger he knew what to expect. When you break up a party getting out of hand or bust someone for littering, they're going to throw some barbs at you. But he never expected to be called "Pantyhose Guy." Still, the pretty little lady had sass for days and there was something about that he found incredibly interesting.

But a dark cloud of danger was looming closer. Did their fragile young love have any chance?

Ben

Any additional comments?

Another short shifter story. You can easily follow the plot and finish listening the whole book while doing my housework.

3.5 Ben Stars

I loved how Ben met Layla buying his granny pantie hoes to funny.

Again we know Ben is a bear shifter, and his family runs the nature park. But what I am not all too sure about it the Dating Agency, it's only ever mentioned in passing.

Layla is unlike others where she wants to jump in and help she isn’t afraid when maybe she should be, but if she was the scared kind she never would have helped Dietrich or the children. So I am kind of on the fence about that.

It’s a great little short story and narrated very well. On to book 3 :D

Cute, refreshing story

I was given this book free for an honest review. I read this 2nd book first and was hooked. The story of Ben and Layla was short and complete. Nice to see an innocent finding love in a department store. You don't really need to read the other previous books. This audiobook was short and very sweet. I have enjoyed all the books I have read by Becca Fanning and will continue until they are all gone.

More.........I want more please

Would you try another book from Becca Fanning and/or Meghan Kelly?

Yes, the story has all the right ingredients and was light and fun to listen too. The narrator also did a great job.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

My title says it all. I want more of everything..............details, back story, depth. Please please give me more of the story with added description, build up and character.

What about Meghan Kelly’s performance did you like?

She has a lovely lilting voice that is easy listening all the way!

Do you think Ben needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I think Ben needs a prelude and more details in this book and all the fabulous characters introduced. This book was like a teaser............hints and glimpses of the characters and their history abound.

Any additional comments?

Please please please avoid the skips forward, (e.g. two weeks later) I want all the juicy details and to fall in love with these characters and their story too. You drew me in with a perfect storm of characters and events but I missed the build up and deeper connections supplied by a longer story.

My Two Pennies

I love listening to Meghan Kelly’s narrations, her voice just pulls you in and you never want to hit stop. The way she gives both the make and female characters their individual voices makes the listen that much better. I was pleasantly surprised with Ben and Layla’s story, I had listened to Dietrich (book 1) in this standalone series first and wasn’t too thrilled with the base. In book 2 we’re provided what I’d like to say is a more meaty storyline. I feel these characters are becoming more developed and their personalities are stronger. Our “Pantyhose Guy” is just the sweetest and witnessing what he will do to protect those around him shows the kind of man he truly is. I will undoubtedly be jumping straight into book 3 to find out more about these bear shifting group.
