Big,
strong, hulking Viking shape shifters don’t end up with short, nerdy,
smart-mouthed women like Miki. At least, that’s what she tells herself when she
meets Conall. Nothing in her experience has prepared her for him, but she is
certain that his interest in her is a passing fancy and he’d be best paired with
a docile little submissive with more boobs than brains.
Conall has other ideas, though. He never thought he would meet a female with
whom he could let his wolf go completely, much less a human woman. But
Miki brings out every primal instinct Conall shares with his wolf, and he knows
from day one that he will make her his mate, even if it is the last thing he
ever does. And with a mean little gun-toting sprite like Miki, it’s a good bet
that it just might be the last thing he does!
No one,
but no one, writes a cantankerous heroine like Shelly Laurenston, and that is
just one of the many reasons I love her work! Her characters, her stories, and
her wit are all a little off kilter, guaranteed to gratify those who enjoy
stories with a different bent to them. The one thing you can always expect from
one of this author’s stories is that she will always give you something you did
not expect.
Go Fetch fits this
description just as well as her other books do. This book is part of the Shape
Shifter world she creates in her books
Pack Challenge and
Here Kitty, Kitty, and we enjoy the main characters
from each book in supporting roles in the other books. To be perfectly frank,
until I began reading Go Fetch and recognized some of the
character names and references to the supporting characters’ stories, I did not
suspect these were connected books. I read
Here Kitty, Kitty, which I believe is the last in the
trilogy, first and it worked very well as a standalone story, as does
Go Fetch. Having enjoyed
both of these stories immensely, I have moved the first story to the top of my
TBR pile!
Miki should not be likable, but she is. She is abrasive, abrupt, and just plain
mean. Conversely, she is never mean-spirited. She takes no guff from anyone,
and is as fierce as a mother wolf protecting her cubs when someone she cares
about is threatened. Her loyalty and vulnerability serve well to endear Miki to
the reader from the very first chapter. Her quirkiness probably helps quite a
bit too!
Watching Conall try and learn how to woo the inimitable Miki is a veritable
delight. She confounds and draws him like no other woman, and keeps him chasing
his tail (in a manner of speaking) from beginning to end. He is single-minded
in his objective to win her as his mate, and pulls out all the stops to make
that happen, while simultaneously trying to protect her from the mysterious
threat that has cropped up.
Go Fetch is all at
once hysterically funny, blazing hot, and wonderfully spell-binding. Anyone who
loves a great Shape Shifter romance that is just a little bit askew in its
approach to romance (in a very good way) should pick up a copy of this gem
immediately! And then go subscribe to Shelly Laurenston’s newsletter ASAP.
Laurenston publishes a new chapter of a free story which is connected to these
each month in her newsletter, archiving each month’s chapter in PDF form in her
Yahoo Group.
