Beast Behaving Badly by Shelly Laurenston

Ten years after Blayne Thorpe first encountered Bo Novikov, she still can't get the smoothtalking shifter out of her head. Now he's shadowing her in New York - all seven-plus feet of him - determined to protect her from stalkers who want to use her in shifter dogfights. Even if he has to drag her off to an isolated Maine town where the only neighbours are other bears almost as crazy as he is. Let sleeping dogs lie. Bo knows it's good advice, but he can't leave Blayne be. She may insist Bo's nothing but a pain in her delectable behind, but polar bears have patience in spades. Soon she'll realize how good they can be together. And when she does, animal instinct tells him it'll be worth the wait.(courtesy of Amazon)


Book 5 in the Pride Series

Poor Bo – he’s so misunderstood – he only wants one thing – BLAYNE. I LOVED this book. It had been a little while since my last Pride book and when I picked this one up to catch up on the series, I was SO HAPPY. The crazy Blayne has met her match with Bo. They are so ‘polar’ opposites (pun intended) and I thought it was just wonderfully done.

It can get a little confusing bouncing from couple to couple, but I enjoy how all the characters interact and are somewhat ‘related’ to each other in a bigger way then they might want to be. Laurenston has created her own pride, pack, gaggle – whatever we can call it – and it’s definitely not a group you want to mess with. Laurenston takes the biggest, baddest of them all and brings him in line with one of her best female characters. I am amazed at how Laurenston keeps the story straight and plays out the plot.  Blayne is the most loved chic in the group - and her boys want to only see her protected, man are they in for a shock...everyone thinks she's in need, but Blayne she's got her head on straight and don't give her a knife :).

This book was hot and fresh, keep on schedule and head out to get it, I’d hate for you to meet Bo if you were late – Read it! You’ll understand.
