Madly in Love Monday 4/25

I'm back! The past week has given me a chance to recharge my batteries and I'm feeling ready to jump into this week head first. I hope everyone who celebrates Easter had a good day. Sunday was pretty low key for me. My brother and I both went over to my parents house for the day. It was nice to have the whole family together (minus my brother's fiance who was out of town).

This is a big week. And no, I'm not talking about the Royal Wedding. I'm talking about something a little closer to home. One of my favorite authors, Shelly Laurenston, has a new Pride book coming out, Big Bad Beast! I am so excited for this book.

Now, I know I've used a Shelly Laurenston book before in my Madly in Love segment... but since I adore this series, and since a new book is coming out tomorrow... I decided to feature the series again with a different book. So, without further ado, this week's Madly in Love book is.....

The Beast in Him by Shelly Laurenston. The best word for this series is FUN. Ms. Laurenston has a way of incorporating humor into her storytelling that is in a class of it's own. Her characters are quirky in the most lovable ways and the two in The Beast in Him (the second in the series) is no exception. In fact, if I had to list my top ten heroines of all time, this series would hold at least one, more likely two, and very possibly three positions on that list (Jess being my second favorite).

blurb:
In The Mane Event, Shelly Laurenston introduced a whole new breed of heroes sexy, shape-shifting hunks who redefine the term Alpha male. Now, in THE BEAST IN HIM, one gorgeous lone wolf is about to meet his match Some things are so worth waiting for. Like the moment when Jessica Ward accidentally bumps into Bobby Ray Smith and shows him just how far she come since high school. Back then, Jess gangly limbs and bruised heart turned to jelly any time Smitty all the better to ravish you with body came near her. So, some things haven't changed. Except now Jess is a success on her own terms. And she can enjoy a romp or twenty with a big, bad wolf and walk away. Easy. The sexy, polished CEO who hires Smitty's security firm might be a million miles from the lovable geek he knew, but her kiss, her touch, is every bit as hot as he imagined. Jess was never the kind to ask for help, and she doesn't want it now, not even with someone targeting her Pack. But Smittys not going to turn tail and run. Not before proving that their sheet-scorching animal lust is only the start of something even wilder.

If you are a fan of shapeshifters (and truthfully even if you aren't), this book should be on your list.
