Beast Behaving Badly by Shelly LaurenstonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve always wanted to read the story of Bo Novikov and Blayne, ever since I read the Badgered books. The idea of a hybrid with sabre-toothed fangs appealed and the fact that he is grumpy and aggressive whilst Blayne is perky and kind just always made me wonder what their story was.
I’m so glad this book lived up to my expectations. Bo is a hybrid Asian lion and polar bear. He is also an extremely successful ice hockey player in the shifter league and has made a fortune. However, he’s not very popular and pretty much feared by everyone. 10 years ago he caught a glimpse of a teenage Blayne and was captivated. When he visited New York for a meeting about coming there to play he saw her again and took the deal despite it not being the best one.
Blayne is terrified of Bo, ever since he stared at her and chased after her 10 years ago, she worked on the assumption he was a serial killer. When he comes to New York and gives her the same stare she is petrified.
It is some very sleek story telling that gets them to the end of their HEA from this very rocky start. The author, as always, has a deft hand with plots as well as characters. I also fell in love with Ursus County in the Winter, the descriptions were so beautiful.
The back drop of the hybrid hunters from the last few books continued and added extra drama to the exceptional romance and I found it really hard to step away from the book once I started reading it.
Once again, a great book. You won’t be disappointed.
