Bear Meets Girl by Shelly Laurenston

 

4 Stars

Lou “Crush” Crushek is usually a mellow easy-going bear until he is outed as an undercover cop which forces his transfer to the all shifter unit.  When he finds out about the transfer, he decides jello shots is a good idea which leads him to waking up with a feline on top of him.  Marcella Malone decided it was a good idea to cozy up to a bear because she was cold.  She also thinks it’s a good idea to call him her pretend boyfriend.  This comes back to bite her in the ass when she needs him to actually pretend to be her boyfriend to get her family off her back.  He begrudgingly agrees to be her pretend boyfriend.  Their lives also cross at work where his new unit is back up for Marcella and Dee-Ann.  They need to track down the person who is behind new shifter fights.

I loved this story so much.  I loved how Crush and Marcella’s relationship shifted through the book to be more serious and yet they were still pretend dating.  I loved the intermixing of past characters into this book.  Just a really well written story.

Charlotte Kane is amazing, and she could read a law book to me and I would probably love it.
