First, I really like M.J. Marstens writing. I have read Mate Date of her. And some books of her are on my TBR list. Normally I only read books series, when they are finished. In this case I read it, because it's - after a long time - again part of Kindle Unlimited (at least for me - I'm living in Germany). And as I have read, the last book is due in the next time. So, I probably haven't to wait long before closure.
But back to the book. As I said, I like M.J. Marstens writing. This book wasn't any different. I love the funny books. Mate Date was funny, but Banbury Shifter Tale series is way better. I laughed a lot. It is funny how language can be that various - and convey a whole different meaning. In Germany, we often learn British English. But not that kind of English. Or it's more accurate to call it slang. I found myself fascinated by trying to understand what the characters were saying. I totally have to Google a lot. I learned new things. But probably nothing I will need in the future. ;)
But hilarious how Belle and the guys - and ladies - talk with each other, but keep talking about two different worlds. That was well-placed within the book.
So, though I enjoyed it, I only give 4 stars. That's because there were some things, I personally didn't like that much. At first for me there were some major logic mistakes. I know it's meant to be funny. But Belle comes out dumb, during the story. And I don't like it, if the characters are idiotic. Don't get me wrong. I liked about her, that she is perky and embraces who she is. She is unapologetic about her sexuality. And her heart is in the right place. She accepts them and keeps positivity high. But it doesn't fit, that she is brilliant at the university. Has a scholarship. That indicates she should be smart, but she doesn't act like a genius. And, I don't think, that any sex addict thinks that much about sexual encounters. Again, I know it should be funny. But that is too exaggerated. Not to mention, that she keeps talking about herself as a whore.
But that are minor things. Overall, I enjoyed it. The idea was unique. The shifter system is interesting, too. And all funny scenes made my day. The steam and smut wasn't bad, either. I'm honest, I'm not into F/F. I like M/M more. But that's a preference. And I don't have a problem reading F/F scenes. In this book, it was mild. And it was well written.
So, I give 4 stars and reading the next book.
