As a romance book it wasn't that successful, neither as paranormal romance, it was more like a funny book with a weird main character and some romance which was more towards the end.
Most of the book was background about the main character and some about the guy, their friends, her wanting to win in the derby and etc which left little time and space for romance... I mean, if they spend at least an hour a day together shouldn't there be more romance than that?
*sight* somehow I expected something b ...more

*SPOILER FREE

I was absolutely torn, torn if I should just give in to my addiction and read this books right away or wait until it was closer to the next release in this series in May. Well, as addictions go, I obviously could NOT wait another second, if I could I don’t think i could have called it an addiction, could I?

We met Blayne in The Mane Squeeze, she being Gwen’s best friend, she got a lot of screen time and I was dying to read her HEA. Blayne is a Wolfdog hybrid and a bit on the crazy/weird side. She is hyperactive, very short attention span and some may consider her mentally unstable. However, what stood out for me in the Mane Squeeze was the size of Blayne’s heart. She is extremely loyal to those she loves and when she loves/cares for some one, you can bet she will go to the moon to make them happy.

I was fascinated about reading things from her perspective. Blayne is very intelligent, but her mind is very scattered and always has a million things going on at the same time. I was afraid that, that would make the reading a bit weird or annoying, but again, I should have just trusted in Shelly’s genius. Blayned is one of the most fascinating characters I have ever read and I want her as my best friend! Here’s is how her dad describes her {and I love it, cause it’s so true!}:

"I know she's weird. Her friends know she's weird. And we all accept it because she's weird, but also amazing."

The conqueror of Blayne’s heart couldn’t be more of a shock. Polar Bear-Lion Hybrid and Professional Shifter Hockey player Bo “The Marauder” Novikov is a terror on the ice and many believe he is just as much of one in life as well. He Certainly scowls and growls enough for Blayne to think so, no wonder 10 years ago Blayne had one look at the staring “Maurauder” and she ran for the hills.

Ten years later and she finds herself in the same position, but needing to be a better derby player and tired of people saying she is too nice on the rink, Blayne asks Bo to help her training. Making them a very peculiar pair, specially with Blayne’s scatter brain and Bo’s obsession with time, schedules and neatness.

These two couldn’t look more like the odd couple, but they just work! Only Blayne could put up and actually understand Bo’s ways and not be afraid, only Bo could appreciate how unique Blayne is. They make a very HOT couple and a delight to read.

I also loved the overall plot of this book. Hybrid shifters are being grabbed and used in illegal fighting, with Blayne as the next target, we get to see more of their world and quite a lot of action. I also really liked the political and social aspects in this novel, with the prejudice against Hybrids being addressed and Blayne’s fight to protect them.

Another amazing installment in this Fabulous series! I am dying for May now and finally reading Ric and Dee’s story! I can’t wait! Are you reading this series yet? No? oh, come on! ...more

can stand alone, but really you need to read all the prides books because all the books have on going characters and story lines. each highlights the Hea of a couple, but they are all there in each book like a soap opera.
One of my very favorite authors and one of my favorite series! Doesn't get any funnier! ...more

I laughed through out the entire book.
Enough Said.

No really. It is. Buy/Read the book.

I loved Bo and Blayne. Bo was freaking hysterical with his OCD List making and Blayne with her unshuttoffable mind. (And yes, I know that is not a real word!)

I liked the plotting which continued from the last book, with full humans trying to capture halfbreeds to use in fighting rings.

Dee-Ann was a major bitch in this book, but redeemed in the end, for the most part.

I'm looking forward to her and Ric's book ...more
