Things are heating up in more ways than one at St Leasing and it's time for playboy Lincoln to grow up. Banned by the pack from having a relationship with any new medical staff, Lincoln's attempts to get together with new school nurse Madden on the sly are hilarious. Neither are looking for a serious relationship and Maddy certainly gives Linc a run for his money, but when your fate is written in the stars sometimes you are powerless to resist. The rest of the pack are once again front and centre and Corey's untimely appearances were too funny for words.
The intrigue is ramped up a notch in this book, a touch of danger had me on the edge of my seat. I absolutely love this series and Jaw Dropping is a fantastic addition. With that ending, I can't wait for Baze's story next.

St. Leasing Series is one of my favorite shifter series out there. LP Maxa has a way with words that draws you in. Jaw Dropping is Lincon's tale. His struggles and how he tries to win over the new nurse make for an amazing story. Sorry not going to tell you anymore but I will say there is a cliffhanger but it so fits for this book. I am one who hates cliffhangers. Looking forward to reading what happens next. The title really does fit this book. The characters in this book are well written and it's like you are drawn into the story with them. I would highly recommend this series to anyone even if you're new to shifter books.

I have long awaited the goodness that is Linc and L.P. Maxa did not disappoint. What a fun, funny, fantastic story she's written. I love spunky Madden and sexy Linc together. Two perfectly matched free spirits. Quite the build up and suspense to make them give in but such a great love. The continuation of the ongoing main "pack" storyline and intrigue woven within the story was brilliant and adds so much to these books. I generally do not read this sub-genre of romance but I was hooked from the first book. I'm so glad the author's come around to finishing the series! Thanks L.P.!

From start till end this book had me laughing so much tears where running down my face. I loved that our resident hound dog Lincoln really had to work hard for Madden to agree to be his forever. Really great to see more of all of our favourite characters and the end sets up the next book brilliantly.

Out of all the three books from this series, I never thought that I'd find Linc's story the cutest. Despite admitting that he's kinda like a "manwhore" he was still the perfect gentleman.
I so love it!!!!!
I can't wait for the next book in the series!!!!

Shifter trouble = a great series
Geez these books! I'm screaming like a school girl. These shifters get into more trouble lol! Do yourself a favor, start out with book 1 then read all of them and then you'll find out why I'm going through them all so quickly. Cause you'll do the same thing!

Great
This series feels like keeping a naughty secret or having a vice. The books are the epitome of trashy romance but love the escapism of reading them.

Linc and Madden, so hot!!!!
This is the third book in the series and I am so hooked. I knew Linc's book was going to be off the charts. I never thought he would be tamed, but Madden was up for the challenge. This is a must read. One click it today and find out for yourself.

Jaw Dropping is the third book in the St. Leasing Series. Finally Linc’s story the jokester of the bunch. Line has the power to get any girl he wants even if they hate him. They flock to him. But one day it gets out of hand when he sleeps with the dean's niece, the school nurse. When they have to fire her, the pack makes him promise not to sleep with no medical personnel for five years. Maddie the new school nurse and Corey’s best friend moves into town and Linc is craving her. Maddie does not believe in ever after and does not want it. Linc use to feel that way until she walked in the door. His inner wolf is needing to claim her but he would never hurt her, even though it’s hurting him.
Linc, had me rolling in this book. He always says the most inappropriate things and he is treated like a five year old child. He is one loveable character though. Always the friend that takes it to far. Maddie came out of nowhere. She is different from past female character. She likes her freedom and is adventurous. She lives by no one’s rules. The chemistry between the two is very hot and spicy and pushes the bonding lines. They try everything under the sun not to bond. More trouble is brewing at St. Leasing. Franklin and his goons still lurking around. More pack meetings more trouble ahead. It’s been one hell of a ride so far.

How long have I waited for this book?
Years. That's right, years. Ever since I read the first two books in this series I have been patiently - for the most part - waiting for book 3 and I am so glad it was Linc's story. I totally appreciate that they have issues, and I mean that in a good way. No one is perfect, so the fact that Madden had essentially daddy issues was awesome because well, a lot of people have those, so she is a very relatable character. At first I was a little apprehensive about her, can't say I liked her right off the bat, but I love the boys so maybe that's why, since she was kind of aloof with Linc.
Now Linc, wow, I felt for him, I really did. Once he realized that was his mate, omg poor thing. Ok so you can say ha ha, karma, yet he never gave up. The scene with the the twins though - whoa !!! I kind of wished L.P. Maxa had touched on how the twins felt about that encounter but you know, it wasn't enough to make me not love the story.
The next book is Baze's story ..... you guys .... holy cow !

A brilliantly written series! Jaw Dropping is the 3rd in the St. Leasing series. Linc is the immature playboy shifter who doesn't want to grow up and settle down. Shifters mate for life but Linc lives for fun and adventure with a different girl every night and he's definitely not looking for his forever. Due to his man whore ways and prior indiscretions his pack has one rule for Linc, he's not allowed to sleep with the the new Nurse.
Madden has the jaw dropping looks of a lingerie model. She doesn't do commitments or believe in love and forever is not in her vocabulary. She loves her freedom and looking fun and adventure. Oh and she's the new school nurse.
Can they keep their friends with benefits a secret or will it blow up in their faces? Sparks fly when Linc and Madden get together! Can't wait for Baze's book and to find out what happens next!

Jaw Dropping is the third book in the St. Leasing shifter series and I loved it!!! I couldn't wait for Linc's story. He is a complete man whore and has no desire to change that and bond to a forever mate. Enter Madden, the new school nurse. She's just like Linc. Not believing in love and a HEA, she's just looking for a good time. Fate has something else in-store for them and it is one hell of a ride! As with the other two books of this series L.P. Maxa gives a story that makes you laugh and makes shed a tear or two. Yes, this is a PNR romance, and boy are there some hot AF sexy times, but there is also the intrigue that is written into the story, an element of danger. She wraps it all up together perfectly!! This book is just another example as to why L. P. Maxa is an automatic one-click author for me.

This is my 1st read by this author. Even though this book is part of a series it CAN be read as a standalone. The book was ok. I liked the connection Lincoln and Madden had. Even though they didn't want a relationship only a friends with benefits they were destined to be mates. One thing I didn't really like, but it's just me, I don't really like the third person,. All in all the book was ok with a great storyline.
