Animalistic

Tiger in Her Bed #2

by Lizzie Lynn Lee

Curvaceous paralegal Arielle Winter had one hell of a bad day. First, she got mugged; then she got stuck in a chimney; and later, she discovered that her boyfriend had dumped her for her boss. At the lowest point in her life, she came home only to find her apartment on fire. If it hadn’t been for Trent’s help, she’d have to sleep on the street.

A tiger shifter, Trent Alexander keeps running into Arielle and saving her from her terrible luck. Recently discharged from the Air Force, Trent believes their encounters aren’t just a coincidence—they are meant to be together.

But Arielle has too much on her plate to think about a new romance. It’s up to Trent to convince her that she’s the one. So what if he occasionally becomes furry and growly? Don’t women usually love a guy who channels his animalistic side in bed? He might be a closeted weretiger, but once he shows his stripes, he’s just one big kitty cat.

Rawr!

This was book 2 in the "Tiger In Her Bed" series. Trent Alexander has just been discharged from the Air Force after 3 tours overseas while getting coffee he meets the woman of his dreams. Arielle Winter is having a hell of a day she woke up to her bathroom flooded after getting coffee she is mugged until a hot looking guy saves her. Arielle works as a paralegal although she went to law school. Her boss Sabrina treats her like a slave I wanted to slap her. Arielle gets into some trouble trying to serve someone and Trent comes to get rescue again. I liked both of these characters Trent is a hot sexy Alpha male who has trouble controlling his beast. I liked Arielle but she was kind of a pushover she catches her boyfriend with her boss and she does nothing. When her apartment building burns down she moves in with Trent and his mom where she finds out they are rich. When his place is ready they move in together. I liked that Trent was patient with her. This was a good read this book did have a few typos in it but nothing major. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Reviewed by SFF Dragon

Laugh out loud funny, with action, steam and a happily ever after, I absolutely loved this terrific paranormal romance.

Lizzie Lynn Lee is one of my favourite authors and I've been reading her books for years. Always well written in the third person and filled with humour, steam and action, I've never found one I didn't love and 'Animalistic', the second book in her new Tiger In Her Bed series is equally as good as all the other books I've read by her. I laughed 'till I cried, couldn't put it down and absolutely loved it.

As if Paralegal Arielle Winter didn't have enough to cope with already, she's also having a really bad day, it's barely even begun when she ends up wearing her coffee on the outside and by the time it ends, it'll qualify as one of the worst of her life. But it does have compensations, both good, bad and embarrassing, when she keeps being rescued by Trent Alexander. I really shouldn't laugh but the procession of mishaps had me in stitches, even though they weren't really funny for Arielle and one of the real downers on her day was walking into her boss's office and finding... no, that would be a spoiler. You'll just have to read the book.

Discharged from the Air Force a month ago after serving three tours in the middle East, tiger shifter Trent Alexander is back home in New York where he keeps bumping into Arielle Winter and like a knight in shining armour, rescuing her from her abominable bad luck, but he doesn't believe in coincidences and is sure they're meant to be together. She's definitely 'The One', his true mate, he just has to convince her. Not easy all things considered, but help is at hand....

I really don't want to give spoilers, but this fantastic book is filled with terrific characters and I absolutely loved Trent, Arielle and Trent's mother, Savannah. There were some I really didn't like though, mostly the bad guys, but Chris Rolland deserves an extra hard kick, ideally with steel toe-cap boots, and somewhere really painful for his despicable actions. I was given a copy by the author in exchange for an honest review and I absolutely loved it. It has steam, action, is laugh out loud funny, has bad guys, a damsel in distress and her knight always coming to her rescue as well as a truly wonderful happily ever after. Well worth at least 5 stars with extras for the free face and stomach exercises that come with all the laughter.

Oh my riding a Bengal tiger in New York streets.

He is the middle Alexander son. While getting coffee he smells such an exotic scent. To bad the lady with the scent supposedly already has a fella. Check out this tale to see if this shifter wins his mate.

Arielle Winter, a paralegal after being demoted from attorney, is having a bad day. She has been mugged, stuck in a chimney, caught her boyfriend cheating on her with her boss, and her apartment building caught on fire. Every time Trent was there to rescue her and even gave her a place to stay.

Trent Alexander, a tiger shifter, recently discharged from the Air Force and believes that he is meant to be with Arielle. Trent is trying to take care of her, his mom immediately accepts her and even takes her shopping once she finds out she lost everything in the fire. Its up to Arielle to accept Trent's tiger, but can he save her from danger lurking around the corner?

I really enjoyed this book, it had humor, sizzling attraction, action, and drama. Trent and Arielle make a great couple, and he's always showing her how she should be treated. He gives her time to get over her cheating ex and gives her a great family too. Another well written story with great characters. I highly recommend this story, but this series should be read in order.

Proverbial bad day!
Arielle's day started out horrendous and just seemed to get worse. Issues with the maintenance in her apartment, then she's mugged but luckily some guy comes by and rescues her and makes the muggers give back her wallet. Then her boss who has not only demoted her from lawyer to paralegal but treated her like crap for years makes her serve a scumbag with court papers which is how she gets stuck inside a chimney to when she's rescued yet again by the knight in shining armor. Whom she tells she has a boyfriend. After going back to work to change, she finds her boyfriend with his pants down with her boss, to end the night she goes home to find her apartment building on fire. And is yet again rescued by the same guy Trent.
While sitting in a coffee shop, Trent a recently discharged Air Force Intelligence Officer and tiger shifter, notices HER walk in. His tiger stirs instantly, he knows she's his ONE mate. Ignoring the two young women that are flirting with him he follows her out the door. When he finally catches her scent, she's being mugged. He immobilizes them and makes them return her wallet. He's used to watching women fall all over themselves to get his attention, but this gal doesn't; which baffles him. While at a party with his brother, Trent catches her scent again. He finds her stuck inside the chimney, after he rescues her again she tells him she has a boyfriend but he can tell there hasn't been another male scent on her for quite some time. After they drop her back at work, Trent finds himself rescuing her again when her apartment building is on fire.
Fate seems to be pushing these two together. What happens between Trent and Arielle? You'll have to read this quick steamy story. It's fast paced and ties into Book one. Each story is their own standalone HEA story that flow together within the Alexander family. Although you could read them out of order, if you plan to read them all (which I recommend), then start with Book 1. I can't wait to read TIGER IN HER BED 3 WICKED AS HE COMES. Due to sexual content and adult language this novel is recommended for readers 18 and older. I received this copy in exchange for an honest review.
Favorite Passages:
•“Oh, look a kitty. Oh my, what a big kitty you are. Look at those whiskers. Oh, your fur is so soft. And big eyes. You’re a handsome kitty, you.
•“Boo! I want kitty back.”

Book 2 of 3 in the Tiger in Her Bed series.
Meet Trent and Arielle. They met, sort of, in a coffee shop the first time... then Arielle's day just got better... or is that worse. Arielle,a Big Beautiful woman; Trent, a recently discharged Air Force Tiger shifter, fated mates or just really hot chemistry?
As you read this book, Lizzie Lynn Lee (3L) will walk you through some hilarious moments, Santa getting caught in a chimney anyone??? And some steamy moments.... you'll have to read those for yourself....
All in all I would say a fun short read that weaved a wonderful, hot story of two people who have a chemistry that is fun to read, and easy to envision. Buy it as a stand alone or as part of the series, either way you will enjoy

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.

In this book we meet Arielle and Trent. In this book Arielle gets knocked down multiple times in the beginning of the book. So much you wonder if someone has it out for her. When Arielle and Trent first meet she is grabbing coffee before rushing to the office. She is dating someone at the time and doesn't realize her next hit will come after he saves her. Arielle doesn't know what to do when it seems like everything in her life is gone, well everything but Trent. She isn't sure what to make of this guy that keeps popping up in her life but is always glad to see him. Can she trust him to be there for her always or will he be her next hit to take?

We meet Trent in Tiger in her bed, he is the brother of Quinn and is an in the closet tiger. Trent doesn't recognizer her as his mate at first but he does know he wants her. The more he sees her the less he wants to let her go. She also has no desire to have any other girl when shocks her with his looks. He is determined to prove to her that she is the woman for him, the only woman for him. Can Trent prove that she is the woman that his meant for him or will he scare her off before he gets the chance?

This is a great book that shows us no matter how bad things get there is always a silver lining. These two each has their secrets but when they come out it can either make or break them. This book has so much going on I want to tell you about but as a reader I hate anyone saying something that could ruin a book for me. So I will tell you this book can be read as a stand alone but read the first one to understand some of the references for Quin and Vanessa. I would highly recommend this book though.

[Lyn Mckenzie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book!!! It is such a compelling addictive read!! A must read for anyone who loves shifter books! It keeps you hooked from the first line of the book right up to the end and when it ends you don't want it to!

This is a brilliant storyline, I love reading about the Alexander family, their dynamic and just how much they love and protect each other, if there is anything wrong with any of the family members they all crowd round to help and I think that is an amazing thing to read as so many people don't have that and it is inspiring. The storyline in this is brilliant, it is filled with twists and turns, it makes it a compelling read. The way this book is written makes you want to read more into this world and the people that live in them, makes you feel like you know them, that you could see into them and see their hopes and dreams. I also really enjoyed that this book includes the characters from the first book, for me it brings the whole world together.

I thought Arielle was brilliant, after everything she has been through and goes through at the beginning of the book, she always seems to be able to deal with pretty much anything, she is such a strong woman. Like any of us she has her own insecurities and worries but she always manages to deal with these in her own way. I loved how Trent treats her in this book, how he makes her feel like she is the only woman in the world and to him she is. He is so protective and his heart is huge he just needed to find the right woman to give his heart to and when he gives his heart, he is in it for the long haul.

This is an amazing book and it is a must read page turner. I cant wait to read the next book in this series to e where it goes next. Loved it!!!

Worth the read.
This is the second book in this series.
Another good read from Lizzie.
I love her heroines, they are smart, strong, feminine and just good people.
Arielle has had the most horrendous time recently. Losing both her parents in a fairly short time frame. Her mother recently to cancer. I won’t tell you about her day from hell but it was unbelievable.
Trent is a tiger shifter who has just recently retired from active service, he has an interesting story to tell.
They meet when Trent saves Arielle from a mugging and that is just the start of her rotten day. He knows she is his ONE.
What follows is an interesting story about friendship turning into love, even though in a tight time frame.
A very enjoyable read that gives you a nice break in your day.
It was lovely to see Quinn and Vanessa in this book and attend their wedding.
Cannot wait for John’s story (the last brother). Me thinks he doth protest too much.
I have enjoyed everything I have read written by this author so far.
This is my honest review of this book.

[Dawn]

I so enjoyed Quinn's story and so had looked forward to his brothers and with Trent I was not disappointed. I love how sweet and laid back Trent is. He knew what he wanted and was able to be strong but not pushy. Arielle is a very sweet girl with perhaps the worst luck ever until she meets Trent. She has one of the worst days of her life and in the end Trent is there to help and pull her out of it and help her without expecting anything from her and she is totally baffled why he would do that. She has met his family and they are all so nice and that means so much beings she has lost her family. She finally realizes that he likes her just the way she is with curves no all. They are so sweet and cute.
Can hardly wait to see what John is going to encounter. Love the Alexander family. This is a well written story with the just the right amount of mystery and fun and hot sexy times. Just long enough so I have something good to read when I don't have a lot of time.

This 2nd book in the Tiger in Her Bed series features Trent who is Quinn's (1st book) younger brother.

Trent finds his mate in Arielle after saving her from a mugging, being stuck in a chimney and losing her apartment all in one day. Trent offers his friendship to Arielle during this chaotic time in her life and their relationship grows from that point. Of course it's not all smooth sailing as they have to deal with Arielle finding out Trent's secret and then having to deal with an outside threat.

Trent and Arielle are both good strong characters and i thought that they complimented each other. Loved the characters, the plot and the flow of the story.
Really enjoyed this story. Thought this story was better than the 1st and liked that we get to catch up with the characters from the previous book.

Arielle is having a horrible day! She wakes up to a toilet overflow, she ends up late to work, she is mugged and saved by a gorgeous guy who asks her out. and she has to say no because she has a boyfriend. She has a boss who enjoys making her life horrible. She gets stuck in an chimney and gets rescued by the same gorgeous guy. She cathes her boyfriend having sex with her boss in the office and runs home to find her apartment building on fire.As she sits crying on the curb, Mr. Gorgeous or Trent sees her and offers a place to stay the night. Now things are looking up.
Trent, a tiger shifter, is having coffee when he smells his mate. He tries following and getting a date but Arielle turns him down. He stays patient and supportive through all of Arielle's hard times. The way he and his family help her is wonderful.

Enjoyment

This second book was probably the one I liked best. It was a little longer read which allowed the author to give more to the character build up and the plot.

Trent sees Arielle for the first time in line at a cafe. What he notices about her is the she really enjoys whatever she is eating or drinking and he thinks this is sexy. She gets away from him before he can ask her out.

The one think you can say about Arielle is that she is loyal not dead. She notices the sexy guy but she has a boyfriend kind of....

The things that happen to her would make the average person think about starting the day all over or hiding out until a new day starts.

These two are not your typical characters he has issues and so does she.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed this book received from the author without obligation.

I love the Alexander brothers. Trent, is the middle brother. A childhood cancer surviver he studied martial arts and meditation as part of his recovery therapy, than a stint in Air Force intelligence. Home now he is heading up a charity for vets. Arielle is a lawyer, demoted to paralegal, by her former boss and mentor's daughter, and she is having a really bad day, when she meets Trent. He saves her from a mugging, rescuers her from a chimney, offers a place to stay when her apartment building catches fire and a sympathetic ear, when she catches her boy friend and her boss together. Trent knows Arielle is the women for him, his beast is in full agreement. Now he has to woo her and explain about his tiger. A fun fast paced and steamy story.

This is my first Lizzie Lynn Lee story. I really enjoyed it. Short, sweet & into the nitty gritty. '' Animatrica, is a gaming company. Owner Quinn is hot, all the girls want him. Vanessa is a total geek girl, top developer of the new game coming out. She doesn't fool around, very serious. Beautiful in a jeans & t-shirt way, not glitzy. At the New Year's Eve party Vanessa is dared to kiss Quinn. Lord Demon as he's called because he's so to the point & hard. She does it & it begins a great adventure, Vanessa doesn't know what hit her. '''

I really enjoyed this story! It was a short, quick read but I really enjoyed it. The characters are great and pulled me in from early on. Arielle and Trent are great and I loved the way that Trent expressed interest so that Arielle knew that he liked her and wanted more but was willing to wait for her to be ready. He didn't push her but still showed that he cared. The sex is explicit and there are some good twists in here for the length of the book. There is plenty going on to keep your attention the entire time. I'm excited to read about the last Alexander brother finding his mate. This is the second in the series but can be read as a standalone.

Bad day just keeps going

Arielle Winters is having a bad day. Actually it’s more like a few of them in a row. Job problems, Apartments ones and then her boyfriend. But in all the chaos a new man comes on the scene. Tiger shifter, Trent Alexander keeps running into the woman of his dreams and the one he hopes to make his mate someday. But the beginning is a bit rocky as he saves her from some thugs and then comes across as creepy to her. But after the original bad start things start to look up for him while she keeps having more bad luck. Now the question is will she be able to accept all of him, tiger and all. Well written and very entertaining to read. This book is self-contained with its own HEA but is also part of a series.

Poor Arielle. It seemed as if her motto should be, "if it can go wrong, it will." In the span of 24 hours Arielle had a string of bad luck that most of us couldn't imagine experiencing over the course of a year. Enter Trent Alexander, her "Superman" stranger that turned out to be her real life hero.

Animalistic is the second book in the Tiger In Her Bed series. Both stories have heroines who are not the thin, gorgeous, blond bombshell. They are average girls who can't understand why others would be jealous of them. I like stories like this where the heroine is relatable to a big portion of the population. Next up is the third brother, John's story, which I'm looking forward to reading.

A short sweet read about Arielle and Trent. Trent had just returned home after his stint in the Air Force and the last thing he expects is to run into is his destined mate. As he follows Arielle out of a coffee shop he coincidently saves her from a couple of muggers. Their first encounter leaves an undesired impression, but when he manages to rescue a few more time she drops her guard and begins to trust him.

But when his real shifter self is revealed to her by mistake, things go awry. By the time Arielle realizes how much she loves Trent, she's in trouble once again. Of course, he comes to her rescue and we get our HEA.

I felt bad for Arielle when she had her bad day, the day she met Trent. But as it says it in the book them meeting was fate.
I liked how the story brought in the Alexander family. ..especially Savannah she's my favorite. ...the moj, I wish there was more interaction with her.
It's never easy to find out your boyfriend is a weretiger, what would you do in a situation like that?
Vanessa from the first book was in this book and Goddess I love her, her and Arielle become good friends.
I really liked the ending. It made a perfect intro to the third book.

Loved this book. Here we meet the second brother Trent.. Hot, sexy and just got out of the airforce.. He first noticed Arielle when she is in the coffee shop and wants to approach but some college girls decide to sit with him and he couldn't get away quick enough. He try's to follow her scent and find her right as she is being mugged. Even though he saves her, Arielle is not impressed and leaves to go back to work. Trent does save her two more times. This is a slow burn romance, but once it heats up its an inferno. Loved this book, can't wait for the youngest brother to get his book...
