Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston

 

3.5 Stars

Toni Jean-Louis Parker is the eldest sister to a family full of prodigal jackals.  She has spent her life making sure they are cared for and get what they need.  When she takes a job working for a family friend negotiating a contract for the hockey team to play against Russian bears.  Ricky Lee Reed thinks hanging around Toni the fun will come to him and it does.  They are both up for a no strings affair until things take a turn to the more serious.  Toni’s family is threatened, and Ricky’s employer is hired to keep the kids safe.  However, when one is kidnapped by someone close, they will tear the world apart looking for him.

This book had a good idea and for the most part a good story, but it does seem a little slow in the middle.  There were times I wanted it to hurry up and get to the point already.  I liked Ricky a lot, but Toni frustrated me some of the times with her whining.  Ricky helps level that out and by the end she is better.  I liked seeing the old characters come into play and the introduction of new characters.  It was still worth reading just a bit slow to get to the point.

Charlotte Kane did an amazing job on the story.  She gets 5 stars from me for her job giving each character a voice.
