Bear Meets Girl by Shelly LaurenstonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Bear Meets Tiger
I really didn’t know much about Crush and Cella before this book as they are pretty minor characters in other books. However, it was lovely to find out about them.
Crush is a polar bear shifter who has been a cop for nearly 20 years. He has recently gotten a transfer to the all shifter team of the NYPD despite his wish to continue working as an undercover vice cop. He lives a solitary life, with only his dog Lola for company. He lives quietly and lives by a strong moral code. His main hobby is watching ice hockey. He happens to be a huge fan of the local team.
Cella works as a contractor for KZS, the cat shifter only protection force. She was in the marines and trained as a sniper before joining KZS. She has a 17 year old daughter and is still friends with her daughter’s Dad. So much so, she a bridesmaid at his wedding.
Cella is a Malone, a family of Irish Travellers who also happen to be tiger shifters. They are ruthless, bawdy and in each other’s business all the time. As well as working for KZS, Cella plays ice hockey for the local team. Her Dad is said to be one of the greatest shifter ice hockey players of all time.
Crush wakes up after a party next to Cella. He remembers nothing about their night and Cella toys with him, just like a cat. Not a great start to their relationship, especially when they find themselves working together in Crush’s new job.
One of the things I like about this author’s paranormal romance books is that the men are not all alphas. More often than not the women are in charge, or at least hold all the cards in the relationship, often by making the man crazy, which is the case in this book. Crush is a quiet, determined and nice guy. He doesn’t have to be in charge and it’s such a refreshing change in a PNR book.
As always with this series, the plot is great, the lines witty and the character captivating. Read it people!
