Kinky Kritters #1
Punishing The Panda
Panda shifter Rodney is in trouble. His gambling debts are well over what he can ever hope to pay off, and now the sharks are after him. They find him one night and Rodney thinks he’s in for a beating, but instead they trade him to Lady Leo, who owns an exclusive kink club. Kinky Kritters isn’t for the faint of heart, and Rodney is definitely out of his element. He has no idea how to be submissive, and he’s frightened, especially when his hands are tied behind his back, he’s blindfolded, and he’s put up for auction.
Mordechai is a panther who’s been with plenty of shifters, but never a panda. He has money to burn and a curiosity about Rodney that won’t be easily satisfied. One night isn’t going to cut it, though. Not when he’s thinking about Rodney even when he’s not at the club. What started as simple curiosity might be able to lead to far more, if only this cat is willing to take a chance on love with a panda.

Looking for something different? How about a Panda shifter who is sold off as a sexual submissive toy? This is the first in the Kinky Kritters series and it is delightful. Rodney is panda with a gambling problem. He owes money to the sharks. To get their money back, the sharks sell him to Lady Leo, proprietress of Kinky Kritters.
The world building of this story is clever and cute. Ms. Ricci incorporates the animalistic features into the shifters in this story. For example, the sharks give off a scent reminisce of fishy ocean. Rodney as a panda-were is slightly chunky and not so aggressive. The characters are fun as Rodney tries to understand what is going on whilst sexy Mordechai is lusting over him. Mordechai is a primal dominant ready to guide kink-virgin Rodney into some BDSM. The BDSM in here is more kinky fun then intense non-con or dub-con. The scenes are safe, sane and consensual. Ms. Ricci makes a point of showing Mordechai's unease as he learns more about Rodney's situation.
The conflict in this story is not unexpected as sharks, especially loan sharks are thugs and untrustworthy. The resolution is nicely done and helps set up for the next book in the series. This story is a nice balance between light and dark. Recommended for kinky paranormal romance readers who enjoy a prey and predator with a happily ever after.

Not a bad read, but I didn't really feel the connection between the main sub and dom. Although it's a fairly short novel, the characters didn't seem completely fleshed out and the plot elements seemed rushed.

Mild bdsm play.. not the painful kind but some tie up and following orders. And more about Rodney's pleasure than Mordechai's.
It definitely falls into the fast track of relationships. I didn't feel like this was fully developed for the fastness of how they come together. The first night, in which Mordechai lets the reader know that he's not a repeat person kind of guy. But he hints at Rodney that he'd be interested to go again. Then after two encounters, decides to move to a date and then later has to rescue Rodney from back stabbing shark shifters. Some more filler and background would have been nice. Plus I either spaced it out or it wasn't there, any decent description of Mordechai besides tall and panther with muscles.
However, I'd be willing to see where this goes in the next book.
