Doggone Mess
from the book's foreword: "While Doggone Mess’s beginning was written before Plaidypus, there are important reasons for why I didn’t renumber the series and insert Doggone Mess before Plaidypus. Doggone Mess’s events after Plaidypus require Plaidypus to truly make sense."
Originally a novella in the anthology Dirty Deeds published in Jan, 2021, this edition has been expanded into a full novel.
Single, female lycanthrope: check.
Bills to pay: check.
A bounty for the hottest single lycanthrope on the block: check.
As the sole holdout of the corporate buyout of her apartment building, Joyce Gray is determined to transform her stubborn pride into a masterpiece in order to stay off the streets. Dipping her hands into the dark world of bounty hunting would give her the funds needed to find a new home, somewhere safe from the wolf who’d infected her with the lycanthropy virus.
On the surface, the job is simple. For a period of three days, she must keep Wayne Barnes from returning to the New York City area. The owner of the corporation determined to reduce her apartment complex to rubble has a reputation of being straitlaced and playing for keeps. Worse, her virus is ready to roll over to have her belly rubbed and enjoy some positive and intimate attention.
But with twenty thousand on the table and a chance to get ahead for once in her life, she’s prepared to get her hands dirty no matter the cost.
What she doesn’t know will change her life and plunge her into the murky depths of the black market, where secrets are worth more than money, life is cheap, and anything can be purchased for a price.

A short story adapted and expanded
The first 30% of this story appeared in the anthology Dirty Deeds 2. There has been a small addition to include the introduction of the Quinn's and Lucifer. The story continues on so well you would never know it was done in two parts. It's always fun when the Quinn's are included and by the end of this.book we meet characters from previous books make an appearance. Joyce was infected with lycanthropy during an extremely violent attack which left her fighting for her life, in fact if not for the virus she would have died. Years later she meets Wayne, he is a lycanthrope and as a career is a property developer. Wayne has bought the building Joyce lives in and she is the last holdout stopping him from his plans for the building. Wayne was unaware she was a wolf as Joyce hid her scent not wanting to attract the attention of other wolves. Their courtship is unusual as she is severely traumatised due to her attack. Lucifer, the Quinn's and a whole host of characters are on hand to help in any way they can but Joyce will never be truly healed until.she has faced her attacker, the serial killing wolf who did this to her..............................

Fantastic, great addition to the series.
I loved the original short story in Dirty Deeds. The additional 110,000 words took it from a quick fun read to a fun, long, integral part of the Magical Romantic Comedy world.
Joyce is a wonderful, strong character, a survivor who ends up flourishing. Wayne is perfect for her, giving her unconditional support and love.
I won't even try to list all the characters from previous stories who have a presence in this one. It would be a long list. And the hints of new characters is tantalizing.
Joyce's riding of the cindercorn is a favorite scene as are her interactions with Bailey later. And the potential reasons for Lucy needing to choose a number made me snicker.
Love the story, highly recommend. Have read it twice so far. And plan to make the time to read it and the earlier stories again.

I have no idea what's going on and who anyone is anymore. I was going to go back ad try and pick out who's who. Instead I'll just do one big recap when it all ends. Pretty much along the same line as the others hurt comfort but FMC that knows how to take care of herself and a guy along for the ride. I think I might've read this one in the anthology and had forgotten to mark it down or it was a preview. I can't remember. I'm used to the gatecrashing by Lucifer and the Quinns. Everyone else I've pretty much lost track of. The beginning was interesting, the gatecrashed kidnapping started lagging and then it was a free for all chaos.

2023 bk 210 When a side gig as a bounty hunter offers her the chance to not kill, but remove the businessman who has been a personal pest, well what is a girl to do? In this case - accept the gig and get close and personal with her former pest. A fun ride and read!

I enjoyed the beginning but as the story continued, some things annoyed me. For instance, with the hybrids, I didn't like that the author called their inner animals a "virus"! Yes, they were infected with a virus, but it gave them their inner beasts that they turned into! As usual, the author loves to talk things to death, so I skipped around!

repetitive
I found this book to be very clinical, not very romantic and just sooooo repetitive. I love the authors other books so was this just a rush job? Low word count so just repeat the same sentence a few times by rewording it in each chapter?

As with all of the other Magical Romantic Comedy (with a Body Count) books that I’ve read, I got into this right away. It was funny, it was quirky and it was light-hearted enough that I got to smile quite a bit. Yet, as I’m really starting to discover with Blain’s work, there was that serious undertone and message throughout which still left me thinking once I’d finished enjoying all of the fun. I also really like that this is very obviously building towards something – there is a conclusion to this series in the works, and Doggone Mess feels like some of the threads are now all coming together to build towards this.
The way in which Joyce is attacked and turned into a shifter is pretty sad and brutal, possibly one of the more brutal turnings / attacks of this series so far. Yet, I love how, instead of curling up into a ball and hiding from reality. Or feeling like a victim, she uses this brutality as the fuel to get out there and make the world a better place for everyone else. She is an absolute powerhouse of a woman, and I really loved reading about a character that takes the worst of circumstances and turning it towards, well, violence. But it was violence in a good way – against those predators that would continue to perpetuate the cycle of abuse for other women and innocents.
I’m always a pretty big fan of books in which the male part of the duo is the quieter of the two. Wayne most definitely fits this bill – and I adored him all that much more for how he continuously keeps trying to support and help Joyce. At first with moving her into a new home, and then when he realises the depth and breadth of her issues, he starts to move heaven and hell (kind of literally) to make her feel better / supported. Even their mating isn’t what I expected it to be – all because of the supportive nature of this fairly cute relationship.
There are a number of surprise cameos throughout this story – I particularly liked getting to see Emma the Swan again. Her willingness to stab people with her beak and just be a total menace to everyone made me smile. I love the idea of a swan shifter, and that they are not the kind, cartoonish swans, but the real assholes that true swans are. Plus, with all of the activity and action in this story, there are a number of loose threads that begin to get tied up, Emma just being one of them.
I seriously loved everything about this book. It was the typica fun, enjoyable R.J. Blain book that I’ve come to expect from her writing. And I seriously enjoyed that to tie everything up, the epilogue tells the tale of Joyce’s run at Fort Knox with her daughter. Aside from being a fun heist, it’s also a reminder that this world is one filled with change, and the biggest changes feel like they are just on the horizon.

I had this on hold at the library so it came to me after I abandoned the series. Which put it against what else I’ve been reading lately.
I don’t get the authorial style here: it’s readable but the conversations between characters are so …. Boring. Or weird.
Like the author was told “show don’t tell” so now her characters do all the telling.
Character one “this is why you do this and this is what I will do and what the CDC will do”
Character two “I always did this because of that and that is why I do it”
Character one “yes and now this and I will do that and cdc will do this and then my parents will do that because of this”
And the constant … logistics? Oh the cdc handles this this way and here throw money at this problem and how unusual but typical they cover your medical bills and when this happens the legal thing will be that but we got it covered.
Seriously weird style. Was the cindercorn book this bad? I remember kind of liking it. Her talk in this book is obnoxious.
Bummer.

I love this series!!
It is beneficial to read the series in the order the author recommends because there are events that ultimately tie together but it isn’t always in chronological order. The characters are always funny and have issues to work through, which often makes the romance more complex. I love seeing repeat characters and not only getting to know and love new ones but getting a more dynamic understanding of characters from previous novels.
I have to say Lucifer is by far one of my favorite characters in the series and I love the relationships he has with the different people throughout each story. I really appreciate the relationship between Lucifer and Him as well.
I highly recommend reading this series and think anyone can find a character they can love throughout this series!

Narrated by Kiera Grace. The heroine: a woman attacked so she contracted the lyncantropy virus, by an evil asshole. The hero: seems like a pain in the ass businessman, but is not-so-secretly in love with her. She has horrible parents, ran away at 17 yo, and lives in poverty - a common theme for these books. I like that the hero isn’t an uber alpha, but rather, a relatively calm beta. I also like that the heroine acknowledges she has issues, and is in therapy. The bad guys in this book are particularly heinous. I find these books somewhat repetitive and predictable, and I find it comforting. I am fascinated that the CDC is portrayed as a caring overseer of the population, and meddles (in a good way) in people’s lives.

Another fabu book!!!!
Joyce, a Lycanthrope, working at McD's for minimal wage, living in a cramped apartment.
Perfuming herself daily, to cover the fact she's a single female.
Carrying the burden of how she was 'turned' and her life thrown into chaos.
Now, being hounded by Wayne, a male Lycanthrope, that her virus likes, into moving out of her home.
I adore all of these books.
The strong female, that sometimes has to be shown she's a strong female. The adoring male and the things they do to woo their mates.
I adore Lucy, Darlene, Cindercorns, Gorgon thing's, animals and now a precious, Jewel, a kleptomaniac ❤❤❤😁😁😁

Great ride.
I've read it twice so far. So.much.fun. I really wanted some hard core mayhem inflicted on the bad guys. I'm OK.
Enjoyed the interactions among the many denizens of your books supporting each other in this one. It's like visits from old friends. They're still crazy in love and respect for each other AND..They're having babies (squee).
NOW(heavy sigh)..I need to start at the beginning and read them ALL again(I think the 7th read through of the entire series to date).
These books are so worth the cost and the read.

Another entertaining read!
I really enjoyed this book, and really enjoyed the continuation of the story I first read in an anthology. I admit, as the beginning said something about being shortly before plaidypus, I expected more of the story to involve the results of that book; I can forgive that because Joyce was a great protagonist and needed to be fully fleshed out as a character. It was also quite nice to see the characters and threads from other books.
A thoroughly fun and engrossing read!

Doggone Mess (A Magical Romantic Comedy) by R.J. Blain – When she was turned into a lycanthrope against her will, Joyce was doing the best she can working at McDonalds and taking bounties on the side. Wayne needs the last tenant in his newly purchased building to take a settlement and move, but he is finding her stubbornness too enjoyable to want their game to end quickly. Joyce and Wayne really are in for a doggone mess to give quite a list of people justice! Lots of fun cameos from other friends in the series! Happy Reading!

Loved it.
I stayed up way too late reading this book. I read the start of the story in Dirty Deeds, and I was really excited to get the whole thing.
I loved that we got time with a lot of our favorite characters and that it wasn't a rushed love story.
The patience shown by both of the main characters, with each other and themselves, was wonderful.
I am really looking forward to the next book in the series.

I have waited for the expanded version of this story and I have had a wonderful time revisiting the parts I had rest in the original and the added extensions. I have enjoyed this whole series, the wonderful characters, the plot lines and the simple enjoyment of well written stories. I enjoy all of the stories that you have written with the various nom deplumes and I still have many more to read and reread. Thank You

awesome story as always!
I love this world. I stumbled on it with “No Kitten Around”. Didn’t realize it was a story arc so have been reading out of sequence. It is a wonderful adventure. It can be distracting trying to keep up sometimes but that’s what rereading is for. Found the reading order and will print it out so I can enjoy this entire journey as it was meant to be enjoyed. I wonder, is Jewel the one to stop the end of the world?

What an awesome fun funny mess! I love how the author brought together a number of my favourite characters from other novels in this series to cooperate in their inimitable ways in a FBI investigation. To think this started with a spunky touchy minimum-wage worker living in New York and an overly persistent real estate developer .... Again, I say - what an awesome fun funny mess!
May 16, 2023
This lovely saga starts in the same place as the short story, with Our Heroine elegantly dealing with a Massive line of Maddened McDonald's McNuggets McMunchers, er, Munchers. But it is far more than that, in the cast of characters, venues, and the ultimate denouement. I found myself giggling madly, ahh, I mean, laughing sedately with each new twist.

Doggone Mess and company
I enjoyed the lengthen version of the original short story. The addition of characters from many of the other Magical Romantic Comedy books was great fun. I loved revisiting these characters and hope to see them in upcoming books.
What is didn't care for was the repeat of sequences. Twice is my limit for repeated phrases.

Another fantastic story that made me laugh and cry.
I've loved the MRC(waBC) series since Bailey was working in the coffee shop. Nothing different here! I really liked that Joyce got to work through some of her trauma. If I had a complaint (it's barely worth mentioning) is that the Quinn's show up so often and Lucifer still hasn't fixed her speech. 😂

This book began life as a short story in an anthology, but that was just a starting point. The story is now approx. 4x longer. I wish it had been expanded 6x longer as all of the books in this series are ridiculously entertaining! I also strongly recommend books by this author under other pen names, such as Susan Copperfield
August 2, 2023
I enjoyed this book. Definitely settle in, it’s one of the longer ones in the series. But you can see bits of overlap from other prior stories, which was neat. And there’s cameos of a lot of couples from other books. Joyce overcomes a lot of trauma, and with the help of her found family, finds happiness and peace. Wayne is the most patient of mates.

Love the characters and story
I loved the characters and story in this book. There was action, adventure, magic, cool were people of all sorts. The characters showed this is a really fun universe to live in, even if people can still suck at times. The bad ones get what they deserve and so do the good ones. I enjoyed this book and recommend it.

So much more
This expansion of the original short story was well done. So much more of the story came to life. I loved how the characters grew and evolved. I got to revisit so many characters from previous books. It was glorious chaos.

Amazing!
RJ has created another amazing book. I absolutely adored Wayne and Joyce in the anthology but when this book was announced I couldn't wait and it far exceeded my expectations! I'm excited to see where the series is going and look forward to the next book.

Great to see all the magical characters
In this novel, R.J. Blain expanded the original novella into a good story that included many characters from the series. She gave us a HEA as well as closure of the mystery.

Yay!
I loved the conclusion to Wayne and Joyce's adventure. I loved the short story in the anthology, and to see it fleshed out is so exciting!! Plus, getting to see some characters I hadn't seen in a while makes it even more enjoyable.

Amazing book!!
R.J. Blain has done it again! Her stories pull you in to the world she created and makes you vested in the outcome. Her characters make you want to be part of their lives.
