Crazy werecats or not, an evening at Genesis is exactly what she needs. And when she meets the hotter than hot, super-sexy owner, Alex O&#8217;Connell, the alpha lion shifter is just the man to fit the bill for a one-night stand.<br \/>\nDumped like a rotting piece of meat by her ex, Maya is on the prowl, fixin&#8217; to do whatever it takes to get herself a piece of the gorgeous furball. Besides, what&#8217;s the harm in a girl having a little bit of fun?<\/p>\n<h2>Review:<\/h2>\n<p>Maya picked the wrong day to come to Genesis.\u00a0 This is there night for sexual inhibition.\u00a0 The only ones allowed to be privy to this ritual are the fellow shifters and those humans in the mix and willing to participate in these sexual evenings.\u00a0 Maya is none of that.\u00a0 So, when Maya is summoned to the owner&#8217;s office she doesn&#8217;t know what to expect.\u00a0 When Alex summons Maya he has all the intentions of throwing her out of the club.\u00a0 But, once he meets her he realizes that is the last thing he wants.\u00a0 Maya and Alex feel an attraction that pulls them together and she is so glad when he decides to let her stay.\u00a0 Not only stay but stay with him.\u00a0 Unfortunately, during the steamy evening Alex bites Maya and mates with her.\u00a0 All of a sudden Maya&#8217;s one night stand changes her life completely.\u00a0 Can Maya adapt to her new life or will she regret the little bit of fun she had with her lion?<br \/>\nI loved this story.\u00a0 This is definitely a great series to start reading.\u00a0 In this book you can already tell some of the stories and sexy shifters that will pop up in future books.\u00a0 I really loved the characters and the story.\u00a0 Maya and Alex are a wonderful couple.\u00a0 I think her feistiness is just what the alpha lion needs.\u00a0 The story itself is a wonderful beginning.\u00a0 It is this story and its characters that drove me to dive right into the second book.\u00a0 As a little spoiler to come the books are all connected in some way and you will see familiar faces.\u00a0 Overall, this is a great addition to the paranormal romance genre and it now a new series I am following.\u00a0 If you like sexy shifters and steamy sex scenes you will love Celia Kyle&#8217;s <em>He Ain&#8217;t Lion.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day Eight of our celebration.\u00a0 Today I am reviewing Celia Kyle&#8217;s He Ain&#8217;t Lion from her Ridgeville series.\u00a0 This is a great paranormal romance that I discovered.\u00a0 I couldn&#8217;t stop myself with just the first book.\u00a0 I couldn&#8217;t help it.\u00a0 When it comes to sexy shifters I just gotta read the book.\u00a0 Its a very&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[290,666,931,1174],"class_list":["post-2248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-celia-kyle","tag-he-aint-lion","tag-lion-shifter","tag-paranormal-romance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
