The dialogue also reflects the same thing. They are proud to be who and what they are, never trying to hide or deny their true selves and not trying to be more human than animal.

Laurenston gives these characters animal characteristics and uses them to the hilt throughout their everyday lives. You just want to dive right in and feast on him, gnawin’ on his bones and then soppin’ him up with a biscuit. He has a way about him that draws you to him. That, along with a body that just won’t quit, makes him sexier than hell. And Bobby Ray Smith came across just perfect, southern drawl, moseyin’ attitude, keepin’ in mind the respect his mama taught him and all. Never in a million years would I think that could possibly work. A down-home, good ole southern wolf shape-shifter.

I had that much darned fun reading The Beast in Him.įirst, I loved the sense of humor throughout this entire story. Hey! You! Yeah, you! Why didn’t you tell me how good these Laurenston books are? I’ve been missing out at least as far as her Pride books go and now I’m ready to start glomming every book on her backlist.
