I love the twists and turns, you never really know what to expect. The story is once again, very involved, so many great layers.


Who could resist a delightfully uptight, schedule wielding, ocd polar bear/lion? Not this girl!! Certainly not carefree wolf/dog mess Blayne!! They are such opposites but they really work!! The dynamic between them is hilarious, sweet and maddening, all at the same time! Read moreĬheck out my other listens at Eargasms Audiobook ReviewsĪnother super awesome bear!!!! I do not know who I love more Bo or Lock, they are just so delicious!! Fine, they are tied for a smexy spot on my yummy bear list!! I doubt Laurenston had any say in the cover art, so I'm not blaming her, but boo hiss to Brava. Blayne is clearly described as a black woman in the story. If you've never read Laurenston before, all of her books are standalone, though many of the characters carry over between books.My one real complaint is that the woman shown on the cover is white. Meanwhile, a gang of people who run brutal hybrid fights (think dog fights, but featuring hybrid shapeshifters) have targeted Blayne to be their next victim.It's hard to describe how fun this novel is with a summary description, but this book made me laugh a lot - if you've read Laurenston before, you know to expect hijinks, general mayhem, and (usually comic) drama with family and friends. Blayne asks Bo to coach her on how to be a vicious player who wins rather than a nice player who loses. Their actual interactions start after Blayne's best friend, Gwen, decides to bench Blayne from an upcoming roller derby game. Ten (or so) years later when he realizes she's living in New York, he takes the opportunity to play for the New York Carnivores with the hope of pursuing her.

Professional hockey player and polar bear-lion hybrid Bo has had a crush on wolfdog plumber Blayne since they were in their teens.
