Pride Bundle #1

Pride #1-2 & 6

by Shelly Laurenston

Seeing is deceiving. And Ric Van Holtz, the wolfishly sexy hero of Shelly Laurenston�s sizzling, wildly entertaining new tale, is nothing you expect-and everything you want�

When it comes to following her instincts, former Marine Dee-Ann Smith never holds back. And this deadly member of a shifter protection group will do anything to prove one of her own kind is having hybrids captured for dogfights. Trouble is, her too-cute rich-boy boss Ric Van Holtz insists on helping out. And his crazy-like-a-fox smarts and charming persistence are making it real hard for Dee to keep her heart safe�.

Ric can�t believe his luck. He�s wanted this fiercely independent she-wolf from day one, but he never expected teamwork as explosive as this. And now is his last chance to show Dee what she needs isn�t some in-your-face Alpha male-but a wily, resourceful wolf who�ll always have her back in a fight�and between the sheets.

One of the hottest new voices in paranormal romance, Shelly Laurenston knows how to do it all, delivering tales that are wickedly funny, action-packed, and scorch-your-fingers sexy. With The Mane Event, she proves just how delicious love can be once you unleash your inner beast. . .

Christmas Pride

How come all the good-looking ones are insane? That's what runs through NYPD cop Desiree "Dez" MacDermot's mind the minute she hooks up again with her childhood buddy, Mace Llewellyn. It isn't just the way he stares at her with those too-sexy gold eyes--as if he could devour her on the spot. Or the six-four, built-like-a-Navy Seal bod-o-death. It isn't even that he sniffs her neck and purrs, making her entire body tingle. It's more about that disconcerting, shifting-from-man-to-lion thing that unhinges her. . .and makes her want more. Mace likes making Dez crazy. In fact, he likes her any way he can get her--in bed, on the desk, here, now, again. Together, they'd always been trouble, but Dez has no idea just how good trouble can feel. . .

Shaw's Tail

Brendon Shaw, hotel owner and lion shifter, has seen better days. He's been beaten, had a gun to the back of his head, and had to be rescued by a Pack of shape-shifting wolves. He didn't think he'd survive the night, much less find the woman of his dreams. And he never thought the woman of his dreams would have a Tennessee accent and wear cowboy boots. Once he sets his sights on her, the predator in him is ready to pounce and never let go. Ronnie Lee Reed is ready to change her life, and New York City is the place where any girl--even one who runs with a Pack--can redefine herself. First order of find a mate, settle down, and stop using men for sex. Even big, gorgeous, lion-shifting, oh-my-what-big-um-paws-you-have men. Then again. . .

In The Mane Event, Shelly Laurenston introduced a whole new breed of heroes--sexy, shape-shifting hunks who redefine the term Alpha male. Now, in The Beast In Him, one gorgeous lone wolf is about to meet his match. . .

Some things are so worth waiting for. Like the moment when Jessica Ward "accidentally" bumps into Bobby Ray Smith and shows him just how far she's come since high school. Back then, Jess's gangly limbs and bruised heart turned to jelly any time Smitty's "all the better to ravish you with" body came near her. So, some things haven't changed. Except now Jess is a success on her own terms. And she can enjoy a romp--or twenty--with a big, bad wolf and walk away. Easy.

The first time I read the Magnus pack, which are the first 3 books in this shifter series, I got annoyed that I didn't get to hear more about this hardcore biker pack, this tough chick I'd just gotten to know. After the 2nd and the 3rd book, I was won over, but didn't know how I felt about the books, generally having a plot which is all about mating.
Have read them all, the whole shebang of S.L.'s shifter series, it' s become a universe I come back to now and again. Each book is a revisit with people we already know from the other books, and them intertwining, with friendships and mating..and sex..alot of it.
What keeps me hangin thoug, is the characthers of the story, who I think are well described, each with a personality you get to know well, and laugh at and with as they 'check in', in the other books.

My favorites are the ice and honey prone bears..

I thought it started kind of slow and when I reached page 40 or so, I skipped to the Christmas story and realized that there were some things I like that are unique about this author. For one thing, she doesn't spend so much time having the characters knock people unconsious or do any other type of "I am reluctant to kill you," type nonsense. That usually bugs the crap out of me because, especially if you are talking about trained warriors, it is the stupidest thing I can think of to try and subdue someone in a life or death situation. The men in the book were drool worthy for the most part. But I am reserving judgment for now. Also the stories in the bundle were out of order by internal chronology (I did not check on publishing order because I really don't care about that).

I bought this on Kindle and had to buy the other books that are around these 3 books. This is definitely worth the buy!
