Product Description:
Growing up on the tough Philly streets, Gwen O'Neill has learned how to fend for herself. But what is she supposed to do with a nice, suburban Jersey boy in the form of a massive Grizzly shifter? Especially one with a rather unhealthy fetish for honey, moose, and...uh...well, her. Yet despite his menacing ursine growl and four-inch claws, Gwen finds Lachlan 'Lock' MacRyrie cute and really sweet. He actually watches out for her, protects her, and unlike the rest of her out-of-control family manages not to morbidly embarrass her. Too bad cats don't believe in forever. At nearly seven feet tall, Lock is used to people responding to him in two ways: screaming and running away. Gwen - half lioness, half tigress, all kick-ass - does neither. She's sexy beyond belief and smart as hell, but she's born protector. Watching out for the family and friends closest to her but missing the fact that she's being stalked by a murderous enemy who doesn't like hybrids...and absolutely hates Gwen. Lock probably shouldn't get involved, but he will. Why? Because this is Gwen - and no matter what the hissing, roaring, drape destroying feline says about not being ready to settle down, Lock knows he can't simply walk away. Not when she's come to mean absolutely everything to him.

I've read all the books in this series and this one certainly didn't disappoint.
It is filled with manly men and women who while being independent and strong, also appreciate the many talents that men have to offer. Loved Lock and laughed out loud at some of the fight scenes depicted, particularly those involving the Shaw brothers.
The plot of this book centres around the developing relationship between Lock and Gwen. While all their friends can see from the outset that these two are perfectly matched, Gwen's family contintously try to meddle. Gwen is a glass half empty type of girl, while Lock is a half-full type of man. She is reluctant to commit as she brings 'baggage' into the relationship whereas he is more than willing to put up with everything that's thrown at him, particularly if it means he secures Gwen at the end of it. Throw in an ongoing feud between rival families and you have the perfect recipe for a good read.
Read the entire book in one sitting and enjoyed it so much I've gone back and started re-reading the series again. Can't wait for the next one.

I got this book when it was offered as a Kindle freebie. Before reading it, I went back and read the other books in the series first. I'm glad I did - a lot of characters from previous books are in each addition, and I would've definitely been confused if I didn't "meet" these secondary characters beforehand. I enjoyed this book in the series, but not as much as the others. I liked Gwen and Lock, and seeing their relationship grow, but there wasn't as much tension and steam between them as with couples in the author's previous books. The plot/action also seemed to drag in places. It was worth the read, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as her previous books. Still looking forward to reading the next one, though!

A fun romance with supernatural characters. The characters in the book were interesting enough so you actually care about the romance part.

Excellent story, very engaging, good characters, hot sex. Besides, it's got werewolves. What more do you want?

I've read the first 2 books in the series. Hot hot hot sizzle hot. This book was a snore. 150 pages in and nothing has happened but a vanilla back story. Not what I was expecting from Laurenston. I can't believe I read the whole thing. It was funny in parts but that was all. I needed a diagram to keep track of all the characters. The main characters never developed for each other again mostly back story never felt that spark. Neither one heated up for the other. The sex scenes over before they got good, it was like someone else wrote big chunks of the book. Not good not much for 300+ pages, not deserving of 300 pages. Laurenston has written short stories 100% better and packed in just as much fun, adventure, family woes, and hot hot hot bedroom scenes.
