Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Miss Shelly Laurenston for delivering another awesome book!!! In Big Bad Beast we have hard-as-nails Dee Ann Smith and Ric Van Holtz. This story is a wonderful example of "opposites attract". In previous books we've seen Dee Ann fight and protect other shifters without even blinking an eye. She's great at what she does. She's a down-home, Tennessee girl but just don't try to get too close or you may regret it. Ric is an all around nice guy. He's rich, smart, owner of their shifter hockey team, and runs one of the world famous Van Holtz restaurants. As supervisor of The Group, Ric and Dee Ann have to work together alot to protect all shifter breeds, especially now that some one is capturing and forcing half-breed shifters into pit fighting. Eventhough you will probably never hear Dee Ann express how much so loves the shifter race, she will do whatever it takes to make sure they are all safe, even if its "time to start some killin'". Ric, Dee Ann, Dez, Malone, and the rest of the Group have to find out who is behind the half-breed kidnappings and stop the fights before more shifters are killed. I liked the romance between Dee Ann and Ric. Some how, Ric seemed to understand Dee Ann and give her what she needed without being pushy or making her feel smothered. While there wasn't alot of sexual tension between the two, I liked that Dee Ann didn't waste time playing hard to get. Once she realized how she felt about Ric, she didn't try to deny what she felt or second guess it.
As always, Ms. Laurenston writes the funniest stories I have EVER read! I laughed so much my husband put me out of the bed!!! It was so funny seeing shifters trying to keep Dee Ann from killing them (friend and foe). It was also funny to see how crazy in love Ric was but still trying not to scare Dee Ann off. But I really loved how Ric pulled the Jedi Mind Trick on Dee Ann to get her to agree to a relationship and not just a fling. That was hilarious!!! Uncle Van reminding Ric and Dee Ann about the after 10:00pm rule after their mating had me screaming!!!
And ofcourse there is the action. I love how Ms. Laurenston's books have strong female characters. There's no sitting at home, waiting for a man to save the day for these ladies. Not that they don't love and respect their men, but they are equal partners and know how to protect themselves. I loved seeing Hannah and Abby step up to protect
those in need also. I look forward to see how they will grow and mature.
Another thing I loved about this book was seeing characters from previous books without them taking over the story.
And I really, really loved the cameos from a few of the Magnus Pack. Just wished I could have seen more of them.
