Hare Today Bear Tomorrow by Lynn Red my review
Review courtesy of April Hollingworth
This is the first book in the Mating Call Dating Agency series, and promises to be another wonderful series by the very talented Lynn Red. I found this book both humorous and fun. An easy can’t put it down novella. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
Opening Scene: Stacy Graves sat glaring at the athletic tape on his wrists. The Review: For shifters who are wanting to find love but don’t know where to, they now have a place to call, The Mating Call Dating Agency, where they’re in good hands and are and love is just a step away.
Busy journalist and part time librarian assistant, rabbit shifter , Garnet Pendelton, is ready for something or someone more in her life, though with her busy scheduled she’s not sure she really has the time.
Bear shifter, Stacy Graves, is a champion wrestler, yet he’s finding his mind drifting towards the hope of a mate, in the middle of matches.
With the help of mating experts Yvette and Dora, the unlikely couple, might just have a chance at finding the happiness they want. Notable Scene:
“One thing,” she said with a grin. “Avoid everything except the Thai part. The rest is... Dubious at best. Let me tell you, one time I got one of their sushi plates and spent at least two days on the -” she cut herself off, blushing furiously before she could start discussing her bathroom habits with a stranger.
“I hear you,” he said with a grin. “On second thought, they’re pandas. You know, they’re related, pandas and raccoons. And neither are bears.”
“Little species-based pride?” Garnet said. A hint of mischief snuck into her voice. Gleefully avoiding all logic, reason and caution, she just really liked him. He seemed honest, and that smile, good God, that smile. She caught herself watching his face reflecting the neon from the garish drink menu and immediately forced herself to look away. “This is all new for me,” she admitted. “Blind dates, using one of those services? I dunno. It seems like I’m living someone else’s life and just watching the whole thing playing out through their eyes.”
“That was way too philosophical for pre-happy hour,” he said with a smirk. “I hear you’re a journalist?”
She nodded, still looking back and forth between the sign and where it reflected on her date’s cheek. “And I hear you hesitate to tell people what you do for a living for some reason?”
“Wrestler,” he said. “I just like to get to know people a little to avoid that initial rush of judgment that seems to always come with finding that out.”
“Freelance journalist and a professional wrestler,” Garnet said with a smirk . “I guess I part-time as a librarian’s assistant to make the bills. So between the two of us, at least one of us has a sort-of-normal job,” she smiled.
“Normal’s boring,” the big bear said flatly. “And I need a drink. Care to introduce me to the fine world of Chinese, Thai, sushi and, uh, whatever cuisine?”
