Night Critters 1: Must Love Dogs by Tuesday Richards and Lena Austin

With some great comedic touches like “Corbin’s mouth opened before his brain recovered from the urge to chase her into the woods.” “As long as you’re also in lust ’cause I am.” you will love this story. Seventy pages packed full of great characterization along with stellar sex and hysterical humor make this a truly fun book.

Roni is a girl with a problem. She can’t find anyone to date. Her roommate, a vampire, sets up a profile for her. Austin and Richards have fun mocking the online personals while allowing their character to find at least one male who lifts her tail. See, Roni is a Chuskie. Now don’t even worry about the whole Chihauhau screwing a Huskie thing. You simply have to suspend your disbelief. And if you are a breed purist like the hero’s dad, you may want to suspend a lot more.

Corbin’s got a problem as well. He wants a mate–an Alpha bitch who can stand next to him without drooling over his title as heir apparent to one of the largest packs around. So he pretends to be a human who wants to date werewolf bitches. This book starts off fast and sexy.

Secondary characters don’t overwhelm the story and I found myself really enjoying the best friend banter of Ana, the vampire, and Roni. The sex doesn’t overwhelm the story but provides the perfect amount of heat with humor. And there are no easy answers in this one. I like that Roni stays true to her Alpha bitch self and that Corbin respects her for it.

This book brought tears to this cranky Southern Belle. I was totally drawn into the story and recognized a few familiar snouts. For those looking for a sexy story with a lot of heart, you just can’t go wrong with Must Love Dogs by Tuesday Richards and Lena Astin. 4.5 tombstones from me.
