Quote-tastic: Wait...How'd you get carpal tunnel?!

So my review book for today ended up having like no quote-able quotes so I snagged an old quote that had me rolling. It's from the Sun, Sand, Sex anthology. This was an amazing antho. I ended up giving it a 5 star which is like SUPER rare here.

The quote was from Shelly Laurenston's novella. Lord but I love her shifters. Especially when they get naughty and humor is brought in. Such a slip of the tongue!

and then there was a sad...a couple dnfs--The Perfect Stranger, The Unleashing, Sharp Shootin' Cowboy

Alas, sometimes a dnf happens. Here are a few that were misses for me.

Bite Me (Pride #9) by Shelly Laurenston

"A killer shifter romance that's non-stop fun, totally crazy and absolutely entertaining." ~herding cats & burning soup

Livy Kowalski has no time for idiots. When you shapeshift into a honey badger, getting through life’s irritants is a finely honed skill. Until she gets stuck housing her nutso cousin and dealing with her dad’s untimely and unexplained demise.

That’s where Vic Barinov comes in—or his house does. Vic can’t step outside without coming back to find Livy devouring his honey stash and getting the TV remote sticky. It gets his animal instincts all riled up. But he’ll have to woo her at high speed: all hell is breaking loose, and Livy is leading the charge…

Ahhh Shelly Laurenston. The woman knows how to write a killer shifter romance that's non-stop fun, totally crazy and absolutely entertaining. I had such a good time Livy and Vic. They're a riot and just perfect together in that wonderfully weird way Laurenston has of mixing personalities and species. This time...a honey badger and a tiger bear. Heh. Gotta love it.

Wolf with Benefits (Pride #8) by Shelly Laurenston

Ricky Lee has no plans of getting serious about anyone, but he will protect Toni Jean-Louis Parker. Not just because he’s been hired to do so, but because it’s the right thing to do. And if that means traveling around the country with one complicated She-jackal, dealing with chocolate-eating wild dogs, instigating trouble between his brothers, and having the most amazing sex he’s ever had…well, who said his job didn’t have perks?

Toni doesn’t know how she keeps getting herself into these situations. But even she has to admit there’s something about Ricky Lee Reed that she finds kind of interesting…and downright sexy. Now they just have to survive long enough to figure out if what they have is worth fighting for…

Damn, I missed this world! It's silly and light hearted and just hilariously brilliant. And I'm not even the least bit ashamed that when I was handed an advanced copy of it I squealed. Like a girl. Right in the middle of Barnes & Noble. I was so darn excited I dropped everything to dig into Wolf with Benefits and gah, yeah, I loved it.
