2010 ALREADY!

So it's the beginning of a new decade.... I hope that you're holiday went well... I for one am HAPPY that it is over. Why is it that it was so much fun as a child and it sucks as an adult? Any who... the last time I blogged I was chatting away about Shelly Laurenston's Magnus Pack series. If you haven't picked it up yet... umm.. why not? Her other series that is totally good is her Pride series. You get a feel of what the pride is about in the pack series but for serious Laurenston's books have yet to let me down.


The first book in the series is The Mane Event. Its a two for one-er with 1st of the two called Christmas Pride which is the story of Mace Llewellyn (lion shifter) and Desiree "Dez" MacDermot. This story give you a good foundation of what the series will hold. Mace is part of the well known and wealthy Llewellyn Pride who has always loved Dez MacDermot since he was a skinny kid all those years ago. Since coming back from the Navy (he was a Navy Seal) he want to live his own life away from his sisters and the pride and open up a business with his best friend Smitty who happens to be a werewolf and now head of the NY Smith Pack. The second part of the book is Shaw's Tail. It follows the endind of the Christmas Pride really well.. Who am I kidding.. all her ending to the books flow SO WELL into the other. I loved it. Anywho... Shaw.. Brendon Shaw... could I find a lion like that? He is a hotel owner and a lion shifter who gets hurt in a fight and is nursed back by Ronnie Lee Reed, beta female of the NY Smith Pack. I would say so much about it that I would give it away and tell you ... GO GET IT! SO GOOD!

The second book in the Pride series is The Beast in Him.. oh Bobby Ray Smith (leader of the NY Smith Pack) ..such a romantic. This is Bobby Ray's (Smitty) book. He and Mace have opened thier business... NOT going to tell you what it is.. read the book :) WHen he finds a ghost from his past by what she is known now is Jessica Ward.. to him, she will always be the shy wild dog shifter Jessie Ann Ward. She has broken out of shy shell and is now alpha of the her own pack.... will Bobby Ray convince Jessie Ann that they belong together... read it :)

Book three in the series The Mane Attraction.. Okay can I just say that with each new book, Laurentson does NOT miss a beat or are there gaps in between. Its flows so well and THIS is my favorite book of the series thus far.. Two words... Mitch & Sissy Mae. Mitch Shaw (lion shifter) is Brendon's younger brother Sissy Mae Smith (werewolf and little sister to Bobby Ray & alpha female of the NY Smith Pack) are such a hoot together. I swear I laughed so much with these two. After the event is the second book, Mitch get's hurt and Sissy Mae being his partner in crime wants to protect him and brings him where?? to Tenessee. Mitch is the BIGGEST drama king known to man. Its so great! I loved this story..


The fourth book hate the cover.. loved the book... The Mane Squeeze is about Gwen O'Neill (Mitch's sister & lion shifter) and Lachlan 'Lock' MacRyrie (bear shifter). Okay when I thought seriously vamp girl reading about bear shifters... DUDE... I loved it! Gwen the tough Philly lioness and Lock the all so calm Jersey Bear hooking up? Great story. You have a hockey player and a roller derby chick! AND... much much more... I cannot wait to see where to takes us next.

With all her books, the character from the other books just don't fall off the face of the book, the continue on in the series with the main characters of the books.

PICK UP SHELLY LAURENSTON'S PRIDE SERIES.. after Magnus Pack of course..

Fingers are tired.. next time I think I will go back to talking about vamps ;-)
