Book Description:
"Hot shape-shifters and even hotter passion." —New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter
There's nothing like a good-ol'-boy wolf.  And ace security expert Ricky Lee Reed serves, protects and seduces with all the right moves. . .
Sure, Toni Jean-Louis Parker has to be the responsible oldest sister to a crazy-brilliant clan of jackal siblings. But now she's cutting loose for some hot, sweaty, no-commitments fun—and the sexy, slow-talking, swift-moving predator assigned to keep her family safe is just the right thing to shapeshift her love life into overdrive. Trouble is, he's starting to get all obsessive wolf on her every time he looks in her direction. . .
Getting serious about anyone isn't in Ricky Lee Reed's plans. Hell, even now he doesn't really have a plan—outside of catching whomever is threatening this dangerously brilliant family. But the more he sees of Toni, the more he's howling for her. And whatever it takes to convince her that what they have is everything, well, this wily wolf is down for the sizzling chase. . .
Praise for the novels of Shelly Laurenston
"Quirky characters, madcap antics, snappy dialogue, charged love scenes. . ."  —Publishers Weekly on Bear Meets Girl
"Bear Meets Girl is hilarious, sexy fun." —Heroes and Heartbreakers

Toni has always taken care of her more brilliant younger sisters and brothers.  She really has never had a life of her own.  For a while I didn't like this book because what kinds of parents leave it up to the eldest daughter to raise their 10 kids?  Then I realized that these are not `people' as we normally think of them.  They are shape-shifting creatures  with a completely different outlook (animalistic) on life. Once I got beyond that point this became the perfect read.

The sex was sexy and quite descriptive, but not to the point of vulgarity, just very adult.  However while you are inundated with lustful thoughts, the actual sex doesn't happen until you are  well over halfway done with the book.
There is a wonderful little secondary story with Toni's younger and more evil sister which looks as if it may be an ongoing plot line down the road.

There are so many wonderful secondary and tertiary characters that it appears as if we will be lucky enough to have this an ongoing series for a very long time.

If you like this book, or any of the shape-shifter books by Ms Laurenston, then you really should try her other series which she writes under the name of G. A. Aiken about shape- shifting dragons in medieval times.  This Dragon series is as funny and sexy as this one.
