Push Up Braw
One beauty-queen-turned-shifter out to squash her evil ex boyfriend. Two vampires looking for a one-of-a-kind girl to help reclaim their stolen throne. And a sexy bargain that's triple the fun...
The only thing worse than dating a mad scientist who couldn't keep his swizzle stick out of other women's beakers? Discovering he secretly revenge-altered your DNA while you were sleeping.
Now, I'm the world's only rhino shifter.
That's right. A rhinoceros.
I went from second-runner-up at the Miss U.S. pageant, spending hours perfecting my ballet routine, spray tanning, and selecting the perfect push-up bra, to rolling in the mud to keep the ticks away and wondering what I'll do if militant shifters determined to kill freaks like me catch up with me before I'm able to stay human full time.
Enter two stupidly hot vampires who say they can give me what I need.
All night long...
Okay, so they don't say the second part flat-out, but it's all sorts of implied. I scratch their backs, they'll scratch mine, and we'll all part ways with multiple O's, no regrets, and no one's head on a pike outside Kin Born Shifter headquarters.
But what happens when I fall in love? With both of them?
Or when I decide maybe being one-of-a-kind isn't so bad, after all?
Can rhinos live happily ever after?
Push Up Brawl is a red hot stand alone urban fantasy romance set in the world of Bella Jacob's Dark Moon Shifters series. Each of these steamy standalone tales end with a happily ever after and can be enjoyed alone or as part of the larger Dark Moon universe. No Cliffhanger.

Not terrible and I do enjoy a shifter romance. But this wasn't really my cup of tea.
May 27, 2022
lol why the hell did I read this.
Actually I know why, I wanted something cringe, because you know sometimes you’re just in the mood to read cringe. But normally that cringe hits a certain way, this did not.
It’s like the author didn’t realize it was cringe, didn’t realize how terrible the storyline was. She was seriously trying to make this a decent story but no that was a terrible storyline, that was never going to happen. It was almost unbearable to read.
The worst part is that there were actually a couple good quotes randomly in it and sometimes the characters had good banter. So, you could tell the author was actually a good writer but there was no way anyone was going to make this storyline into a decent read.
The only reason I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 was because the author really really tried to make a rhino shifting pageant girl story somewhat enjoyable, she failed. But you could tell she tried really hard.

Paranormal romance with all the funny and feels…
Yup, that really sums up this fun and exciting read! When the title itself made me laugh out loud I knew this was going to be different…
Eliza found herself getting over a bad breakup. Sad, for sure, but not earth-shattering, right? Well, that is where the story broke from the norm as she found herself shifting into a rhinoceros. A real-life, horns and all, honest to goodness RHINOCEROS! I couldn’t stop smiling and laughing as the rhino popped up at the best and worst times! Hardly a trait one would put up on a dating profile let alone see as a positive thing. Leo and Rourke, sexy vampires not afraid of beasts (two or four-legged) didn’t let that interesting fact stop them! They were confident and strong, willing to put their sexy selves on the line for a woman who they’d kept their eye on from the beginning… And Eliza herself was well worth the effort. Her self-deprecating humour brought lightness and hilarity to an otherwise unfunny situation. Together, they were going to be magic…
Friends to lovers was a wild, crazy ride as they stepped ahead of deadly, unnamed enemies. Quirky characters were the norm as this focussed trio were ably assisted, and hindered, by unusual friends and foes…
It is paranormal with romance and action. Perhaps, para-fun? Romantic para-suspense? Whatever I want to call it, be assured it was a great read and start to a new series. I can’t wait for besties’ turn at the romantic wheel because I know it will be full of surprises! ~Diane, 4.5 stars

This is a super-fun, super-sexy, supernatural romance. I'm so happy that this is only the beginning of yet another new series by this fantastically imaginative author! All the characters are so amazing and extremely likable (well most anyway, you'll see) and some are even so sexy and charming too (you'll definitely see them). Their personalities are all so well written into their character make-up that it is very easy to become attached to them. I really like Eliza! She is such a great strong female character; she really knows how to roll with whatever life throws at her, and it does throw her a lot!!! She is an awesome catch for the extremely sexy vampire duo of Rourke and Leo, who I adore, sigh. Would definitely not have a problem getting on board that train! And boy this trio definitely hops on board the "steamy" train.
I've read a lot of shifter/vampire books but I've got to give props to Bella because this is such a fun, creative, action packed story line and a rhino shifter is definitely a first for me and that's just so cool!!
5 Fantastical Stars!!!

I've read quite a few shifter books but I've never read one about a rhinoceros shifter, lol.
Eliza was just your typical woman until the day she wasn't. When her crazy ex-boyfriend revenge-alters her DNA and changes her into rhino shifter nothing about her will ever be "typical" again. Now this one-of-a-kind shifter has attracted the attention of two dominant vampire princes who are determined to make her theirs.
While this book takes place in the same world as the Dark Moon Series it can be read as a standalone.

Perfect.
I love Bella Jacobs books and this spinoff short-ish story is fantastic. It’s about friendship, Love and believing in yourself and the power of your dreams. And sexy vampires. And a rhino shifter and her best friend who is fairy royalty. Fast burn but not over the top. Hilarious and fun. Great book and look forward to Leery’s story!

Push Up Brawl is the first kickass book in the Supernatural in Seattle series by Bella Jacobs. I loved her Moon Shifters series. She popped my shifter’s cherry with that one. I just knew I had to have this one. I will make this short since the synopsis explains so much already.
Eliza was a normal woman one day and the next she was shifting into a rhino. A rhino! Not a good look for the upcoming beauty pageant she needs to win to start a new life. And to top it off, Kin Born are after her and it’s not exactly easy to hide a rhino. In comes Rourke and Leo. Two very hot vampires who want to protective her. Woo her. And satisfy her like nobody else can.
Ok. That’s all I can say about that. I will say that the story is unique, badass, fun, and sexy. I loved the characters. Eliza is stronger than she thinks, even when not in rhino form. Leo is sensitive and flirty. Rourke tells it how it is. Together, they have it all. But, can they have it all, together? Rourke and Leo needs to brake a curse and Eliza needs to go back to being a non-shifter.
Overall...it’s an addicting ride! I had to know what was going to happen next. I am excited to find out what next book is going to be all about. I have my suspicions but you just never know what the author is thinking and that’s a good thing.
Quotes:
“You’re a lovely woman, Eliza, in every way. But this life isn’t for you. You don’t belong in the darkness.”
“No worries. And yes, everything is great. Just talking to myself.”
“Makes sense. You’re good company,” he says with a nervous-looking smile.
“God, yes.”
“Not God, love, but by the time I’m done, you’ll be remembering me in your prayers,” Rourke says, a hint of his Irish accent sneaking into the words.

This was a good book. I got sucked right into the book. I will admit its the first time I've read a book with a rhinoceros shifter. The characters are just fantastic and engaging. The connections that Eliza makes with the supernatural variety. I loved Leo, Leerie, and Rourke.The word that Bella Jacobs creates in so intriguing. This book just makes you want to keep reading to see where it will take you. Some parts had me on the edge of my seat. Plus Leo and Rourke are a couple of delicious pair of vampires set their eyes on one woman. Sparks are going to fly, but can the coexist in each other's world. I really loved the end because it shows how empowered Eliza has become, but she is still true to herself.

**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
Oh.My.Goodness. This is the best supernatural book that i have read in ages! It's the beginning of a new series by this author and he books keep getting better and better.
Eliza is a kick ass character who rolls with the punches and certainly cannot help falling for Rourke and Leo, like the rest of us. Seriously you cannot help but to fall for these characters.
I certainly laughed with this book ad the authors clever ideas and the way this book magically comes together to take you on an awesome ride. I smiled so hard at times my cheeks hurt and i felt Eliza's pain at times as if it were my own.
I really hope everyone gives this author and this book a chance because it is pure brilliance.

Very great
I really enjoyed the cutesy ending. The storyline was pretty good. I feel like I missed some stuff in the beginning though. Almost like coming into the middle of the story? But I still didn't feel lost. It was well written and I was able to keep timelines and story together.

Good read
This is a good read with fantastic characters. It could have used a bit more suspense and action. The fmc was a little cheesy but likable. Overall a good book though and I can't wait for Learie's story.

Crazy funny read
Eliza, Rourke, and Leo are involved in crazy, funny and steamy escapades. Their world is filled with laughs, love, and vampire intrigue. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and hope to read more from Bella Jacobs.

Not great. Not my favorite. Got 60% of the way through and couldn’t finish. My husband finished it and said he wished he didn’t start it.

Vampire & shifter menage...need I say more!
So Bella Jacobs writes some steamy paranormal and this is no exception. You will absolutely want a Leo and Rourke in your future even if you AREN'T a rhinoceros shifter. This has some humor as well because...rhino shifter...hello??!??
"He wants me even though he doesn't want to want me, which is the most seductive wanting of all." Swoon!
This book is fun, dramatic, with plenty of action - both in and out of the bedroom.
This is going to be a fun series. And if you are into reverse harems - check our her other Dark Moon shifter series!
I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy.

Push Up Brawl is the first book in the Supernatural in Seattle series by Bella Jacobs. Bella won me over with her Unleashed: A Reverse Harem Urban Fantasy Romance and Untamed: A Reverse Harem Urban Fantasy Romance and now I can't get enough of her books! I love paranormal, shifter and vampire stories and Bella is giving me exactly what I want with the added extra humor, fun, and sexiness. There's just something magical about her books that immerse you in the world from the first page and hold you hostage in the best possible way! Eliza is a beauty queen who needs to win the next pageant, but that's going to be very hard to do since she was just turned into a shifting rhino! Crazy and unbelievable but when the two sexy vampires she's been lusting after jump in to save the day maybe things are looking up? She wants to go back to being a normal woman. Rourke and Leo need her. Can they both get what they want? Or will a twist of fate show them another way? I loved this story! Leo and Rourke are sexy as sin and Eliza is funny, beautiful and perfect at adapting to her new life! The foreplay and witty banter were perfection!
Overall, I laughed, smiled, cheered, swooned and I can't wait to see what happens next!
