Ram Rugged: Aries Cursed

I may be biased because I am an Ares but I am really liking these ram shifters and Ram Rugged is really tickled my fancy. Mary and Demitri are two really strong, wonderful characters that has some sizzling chemistry between them and they easily draw readers in. The romance is sweet and the passion is red hot, of course the relationship has a few bumps to get over, like quite a few secrets and then there is thrilling suspense of the danger that Mary is facing and what's more, this story provided quite a few chuckles and I really loved Colleen, she is something else. Overall, this Zodiac Shifter story was well written, the author added depth and a little lagniappe with mythological elements that she spun into a great read and and I couldn't put the story down until I had read every last word. Oh and I should probably mention that I loved the outcome of the dangerous situation facing Mary, it is a really fitting end to the bad guy.

Mary is a recent divorcee having a girls night out with her best friend Tammy, when she spots Demetri checking her out from across the room. Mary planned on having a good time, but her moods been dampened due to one of ewe's having been killed by a coyote. Mary runs a sheep farm and all her animals are precious to her. Her bestie encourages Mary to make a move on the handsome stranger, but when Mary refuses Demetri makes a move of his own. As the night goes on Mary decides to be a little reckless and let loose. The next morning, she finds out that Demetri was applying for a job on her ranch, so makes it clear that there will be no romantic overtures from now on, its strictly business. But just like the pringles ad says, "you can't have just one" Mary and Demetri can't keep their hands to themselves for long. Unbeknownst to Mary, Demetri has a secret that might end their brewing romance before it can begin. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This story wow what to say here not to spoil it. First off this is not really a typical shifter story. Yes it's a mythology type of course but it's more than that too. We have Demetri who is cursed, he is in a small town for a reason but that all goes up in smoke literally. Mary has her flock of lambs that she uses to earn money for her small farm left to her by her now deceased parents. She has one mean ex-husband who is a sneaky coyote. This story will give you gut busting funny, and sizzling hot romance, but we also get a bit of suspense. I truly enjoyed this story.
