Waiting On Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're anxiously awaiting.

My pick for this Wednesday....

Big Bad Beast by Shelly Laurenston (#6 in Pride Series)

When it comes to following her instincts, former Marine Dee-Ann Smith never holds back. And this deadly member of a shifter protection group will do anything to prove one of her own kind is having hybris captured for dogfights. Trouble is, her too-cute rich-boy boss Ric Van Holtz insists on helping out. And his crazy-like-a-fox smarts and charming persistence are maiming it real hard for Dee to keep your heart safe...

Ric can't believe his luck. He wanted this fiercely-independent she-wolf from day one, but he never expected teamwork as explosive as this. And now is his last chance to show Dee what she needs isn't some in-your-face Alpha male-but a wily, resourceful wolf who'll always have her back in a fight...and between the sheets.

Why I’m “waiting”:

Shelly Laurenston is one of my favorite authors. I love how she has a great balance between sex and humor in her books. With most series that feature a different couple in their own book, there is that one couple that you cannot wait to read about. And Dee-Ann and Ric is that couple (at least for me) in this series. Their getting together has been building for a few books now. Dee-Ann is the kick ass chick that doesn’t need anyone, let alone a man. Ric is the play-boy that has fallen for the Dee-Ann but she keeps turning him down. I just know when they finally get together there will be some HOT scenes.
