Dead of Winter (Battle of the Bulls # 2), by T. S. Joyce
Dead, Dead, he's good in bed.
Dead of Winter, the most uncouth of the bucking bull shifters, reveals a sweet and sensitive side that will only be surprising to someone who's never read a T. S. Joyce book. Her heroes talk trash, come on strong, and fight each other a lot, but they are unfailingly kind, gentle, sweet, and supportive with the women they love (and women in general), once you get past their rough defensive shields.
The heroine of this book is Raven, a goth cow shifter raised by humans who does funeral flower arrangements, who was branded at birth and still bears the scars. Dead sweeps her off her feet, gets her to attend an autograph signing with him where she reveals a lot of managerial skill, and takes her to go mudding (driving around spraying your opponent's car with mud) and spend the night with him in his camper while making it absolutely clear in advance that he no matter how dirty he talks, he will 100% respect her right to say no as well as yes.
Dead is a really fun hero, but the star of the book is Raven's inner cow, Hagan's Lace. She is a purebred longhorn who hates everyone and everything, which makes her perfect for the rodeo. (Unlike, say, Zoe Chant's inner animals which are reflections of the characters' truest selves, Joyce's inner animals are "monsters" who are viewed as separate from the people who contain them.) Hagan's Lace only gets a little page time, but it's worth the entire price of the book.
Fuck that man. And fuck that glow stick.
