Leopard's Spots #7
Sullivan
Sullivan Ward thought going away to college would be exciting, but he had no idea what adventure lay ahead for him.
Sully Ward was excited about going away to college. A little worried, but mostly excited. He had no idea what an adventure was awaiting him.
In San Antonio, Sully would find a friend, and lose him. He’d find a mate, and lose him, too—but not for long.
Bobby Baker knows he’s a contrary wolf shifter. He likes things to be on his own terms, and even when good things happen, unless he’s made the decision for them to happen, he can be a total ass.
When he meets his mate, the connection is hot, scorchingly so. It still pisses him off, and he acts like a fool because of it.
Sully won’t let him go so easily—and neither will someone else. Someone is out to cause Bobby trouble, and they succeed in hurting someone Sully cares about when trying to get to Bobby.
Unless they work together, they will lose the most precious thing in their world…

I am a married mom of four who spends most of the day writing, either on stories or at the blog. I love to write as much as I love to read. I am generally quiet and laid back, choosing to let things slide off me rather than stick and irritate me.
And it's really hard trying to think of descriptives for myself, so I'll just let y'all e-mail me or comment at the blog if there's something specific you'd like to know, and spare you from reading a boring bio:D

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, Bobby. Felt like I waited forever for your story. From the moment he appeared in a 'Leopard's Spots' book, I was well and truly hooked. His contrariness that just makes him needle people all the time, for some strange and bizarre reason, I found very attractive. Then I had an image in my head of Sully being this shy and retiring sort of young bottom. I really couldn't wait to watch these two mix it up.
Sully is twenty-three and leaving home for the first time to go to college in San Antonio. He wants away from the tiny Colorado town he grew up in and finally it's happening. He's got a disgusting apartment, but it's his, all to himself, and nothing could make him happier. Of course the very first full day he's in town, out running errands, he ends up taking a rent boy home. But, not for sex. Nope, not Sully. He's just trying to give the kid an opportunity to make a better life for himself. Getting the picture now of what kind of person Sully is?
Bobby is still the same. Contrary and rude, just because he can. But, Bobby is all for family, so when his brother calls and asks if he'll go check up on Josiah's mate's cousin to be sure he's okay and the homeless kid he brought home isn't scamming him, of course Bobby says yes. Poor Bobby has no clue he's got a date with his destiny now. And, wow, these two are seriously smoking hot together. I probably needed more ice water as I was reading. *grins* But, I was also pretty sure there was a lot more to Bobby than what I'd seen, and I couldn't wait to discover the deeper parts of his personality.
Before any real time together can happen, though, an unknown member of Bobby's wolf pack seriously harms a young man, sexually, who got into Bobby's gay club with a fake ID. Stands to reason it turned out to be Mando, Sully's young rent boy he was trying to help. Mando had run away from Sully a few days earlier when he came home to discover that Sully and Bobby had sex. No matter that Sully had told Mando they would just be friends, it seems he was still hoping for Sully's attention. So now, Bobby brings in their pack shaman to help heal Mando, tell him about themselves as wolf shifters, and give Mando the choice to come and live with the pack. And it would seem that someone is out to get Bobby by hurting those he cares about.
This was my favorite book of the series, so far. It even eclipsed 'Timothy' which had been in the favorite spot up until now. I adored Bobby and Sully. I thought they had the best mating of all of them, perhaps because they were both large male shifters, and their mating was rough, wild, and very sexy. I'm really excited to read the next book because I'm fairly certain the main characters were introduced here. Looking forward to more excitement from Bailey Bradford!

3.5. I have been waiting for Bobby's story. I would have easily rated higher, but I had a few issues:
1. Mando completely shutting Sully out seemed wrong to me.
2. The resolution of who was attacking Bobby was resolved too quick and cane way out of left field. There was also no explanation of the dyed fur.
All in all a good story. Although it had the potential to be great.

Bobby can't seem to help fighting everything. He actually runs away from his mate without even confirming to Sully that they are in fact mates. Sully is still young enough to not fully realize why he can't stop thinking about Bobby after he runs off on him.
The introduction of Mando I found to be strange. I really didn't see what it brought to the storyline seeing as he and Sully didn't truly have time to become real friends. Then after he's attacked, he won't talk or see Sully.
Then the resolution of the wolf behind the attacks came across as very anticlimatic. The wolf in question actually shows up on Bobby's doorstep and then attacks. Sully is the one that gets to finish it.
On the other hand.. as in all the books in this series.. it features hot, rough and sometimes bloody sex play. While not normally a fan of this, the author has always done a great job portraying this being a normal part of shifter/shifter mating that doesn't seem degrading to me.

Well, I asked for something different and I got it. To an extent.
The sex is still brutal and more than copious, but the guys certainly were a little different this time around, and really suited to each other at that. (It turns out that Sully is a lot more quirky and silly than he seemed at first, and Bobby, well, he is living up to his legend. Strangely enough he felt much younger than his supposed years.)
I enjoyed this quite a bit (except for maybe the sheer violence of the couplings) until the sex seemed to just take over and not much story was left.
In the end it was a nice read, setting up things that might be interesting in the next book. We shall have to wait and see. This certainly plays into the author’s favourite tropes (victims of vicious attacks/abuse).

Oh my Greatness!!! Bobby and Sully is so perfect together! I really liked this book (hence the four stars!!) and liked that it went against stereotypes. Bobby is older, and the soon-to-be alpha of his wolf pack, yet Sully is more aggressive and assertive in bed. It is a great man who would let himself be dominated by his mate, and that Bobby is.
The one thing I didn't like about the book, is Mando and all that happened to him. I feel that it was only to set him up for the next book. And when the final evil was revealed, it was hugely anticlimatic. But, let's be honest, I don't read this series for serious heartfelt angst and pain. I know what I will get, and this book delivers.

I found this book to be well written, devoid of the missing proofreading that seems so prevalent these days and an all around joy to read. I loved the two main characters. They were exactly what the other needed whether they were ready to know it or not. They also had their own personalities and livesthat were clearly evidenr. For those sensitive to sexual assault mentions there is an instance involving a secondary character. Nothing graphic is said. It is talked about in a vague way but even his problems afterwards are kept to a minimum as far as mention done.

I am liking the leopard series more and more.
Thought bobby was a joker in the previous book, and wasn't sure I would like his book.
Sully and Bobby are well suited.
The sex is a little rough, rougher than most of the authors other series.
Poor poor Mando :-( hoping he gets a better life with the wolf pack.
The stories just get more interesting and with more details we hope MaryBeth gets her family history back real soon.

The 7th installment of the Leopard's Spots series. This book seems to be bringing all the previous books together and concentrating on building a long lasting Family Series.
I hope she will.
I hope she will.
