Sandra, I am reading
now. Love Shelly Laurenston!
I really enjoyed it, but on reflection I think
is better. Same world building, but written a few years ago. Not sure if you've read it, but if not give it a go.

. I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't her best. A good start to a new series.
Yeah,
doesn't have as much humour in it as the Pride books, but still enjoyable.
