Mane Event

THE MANE EVENT is two linked stories in one volume, I rated Christmas Pride story two stars and Shaw's Tail I rated four stars...so overall that's how I came to rate this book three stars.

CHRISTMAS PRIDE:
This story was okay...I felt it was all about sex between Mace and Dez and no real story line. Lack of character developement and a lack luster romance. This story I would only give two stars too.


SHAW'S TAIL:
I loved Brandon Shaw, he is so awesome. Who could not love the mamba dance while he had his fever...and he was great with his kids. I think Ronnie & Shaw's story was a better read, and the romance seemed alot more real. I was very happy at the end of this story. I would give this story four stars

This book it 2 stories that are not quite long enough to make a novel on there own, but that dos not mean that they are not good! Both are as hot as the writers other books and show a nice new angle and realistic probles for shape shifters.

This book has two stories in it, and have some character's overlapping in each story. Both are laugh out loud funny, sexy and action packed. Once you start reading, you'll have a hard time putting it down. Both stories deal with everyday things, family, friends, work, lover's but what gives it a twist is the world of the shifters. It just makes the character's lives just that much more interesting.

The Mane Event is two stories packaged into one book. The first story, Christmas Pride, is about NYPD cop Desiree MacDermot and her childhood buddy, Mace Llewellyn. Dez is investigating a murder and Mace is returning home after years spent in the Navy. He has fantasized of Dez for years and has every intention of searching her out upon his return, only to walk into his sister's home and find the woman of his dreams. Dez can't believe the attraction that flares between her and Mace. When she was a teenager, his sisters warned her off before her family moved forcing all contact between the two to halt. She has no clue that he is a lion shifter and of the pleasure he can bring her if she allows him.

The second story, Shaw's Tail, is about Brendon Shaw. He is introduced at the end of Christmas Pride as a cocky lion in a bad situation. This situation leads to his hospitalization. While there, he is cared for by Ronnie Lee Reed of the Smith wolf pack. Ronnie Lee promised herself that she would change her lifestyle. She was tired of partying and casual sex. Then she met Brendon. He was the ultimate threat: sexy, caring and dominant. He could be the one…if she let him.

While I didn't find this offering as hilarious as Laurenston's other series (Pack Challenge, Go Fetch and Here Kitty, Kitty), it was still enjoyable. The book takes a look at sex and relationships and adds a comedic touch to them. It isn't heavy or tense, just good, sexy fun. The dialog is entertaining and the storyline is told with a light touch. Of the two stories, I found that Shaw's Tail had more laugh out loud moments. Overall, it set up a strong cast of characters for future books.
