About this listen

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. She watches out for the family and friends closest to her but misses 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.

Funny

Like the other books by Shelly this one kept me wanting more. I laughed a lot. I did feel that she changed Mitch and Brandon’s personality in this book even though it was funny the way Mitch acted but , it made him seem very wimpy and very annoying, not like the easygoing fun loving lion he was when he met Sissy.

Omg I'm in love

I absolutely adore books that make you laugh so hard at the characters. And Charlotte Kane's narration makes me see them so clearly. I love this series

Honey, anyone?

Another sexy shifter story. This one was still good, but not my favorite. I was irritated at past characters for being jerks to Gwen. It seemed like nobody treated Gwen like she was an adult. Gwen did have more of a beta vibe and it didn't quite sit right with me. I did like her though and I really liked Lock, such a teddy bear. The story didn't quite go in the direction I was thinking it was going to go, but maybe that’s for the next book. I will admit that the books have a very similar story line, but I like them none the less. Narrator is fairly good if not overly peppy. Other shifter authors I recommend are Nalini Singh, Thea Harrison, and Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Comedic Romance at its best!!

Shelly Laurenston's books are always amazingly sexy and funny. This book did not disappoint. Lock and Gwen are perfect for each other. Who would have ever thought that a grizzly bear and a Tigon would be perfect mates. Well they are and you don't want to miss the tale of how they get together.

Wow. Just... Wow.

So this story is absolutely hilarious! I can not tell you the last time I have laughed out loud so much when listening to, or reading a story. This book had me laughing at every turn, it was just so hilarious. Out of this series so far, I would have to say that this is my absolute favorite. This book truly just had me cracking up laughing - it was more like a comedy romance, and it's awesome. Okay, it was more like a comedy romance drama, but it's still absolutely awesome!
I'm not even done listening to the story yet, however, I had to make this review because this has just been absolutely great so far. And when I get done, I don't plan on changing my review because it truly has been wonderful, I'm sure that it will finish wonderful, and I hope that the next book will be even better.

Fun read

I love this series and had previously read this book. I recommend it to anyone who wants a light romance read with great characters, whitty dialog and shifters.

I sampled the narrators to see which book to download as those can make or break a good book. I like this narrator's overall tone. Some of the parts and characters were not at all like I read them in my head. It did not detract my overall enjoyment of the story however.

Love it!

I loved this book when I read the Kindle version and I love it even more with the narrator.

This story is the perfect addition to the Pride series. This one and Beast Behaving Badly are my favorites. But to be honest I'm not sure this author can do wrong.
