Shadow's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 5 Stars 
 Her work is snarky, outrageous, off the wall and hold your sides funny. Shelly Laurenston's shifters are some of the funniest creations in literature and that holds true for her latest effort, Wolf with Benefits. 
 Toni is a jackal shifter, and the caretaker for her impossible family. Her ten siblings are all prodigies, and Tony, although wickedly smart and organized beyond normal, feels just average. When the opportunity comes along to land a full time job that takes her away from her family, her friends and father insist she live her own life rather than staying as babysitter. Complicating the situation is the wolf who is friends with the wild dog pack across the street. Ricky Lee has the patience of a hunter, saying he waits for the entertainment to come to him. And around Toni, there is always entertainment. He works for the family security agency and accompanies Toni to Russia to negotiate with the notoriously bad-tempered Russian bears over a hockey schedule. On the trip, they succumb to their mutual attraction. 
 But can they overcome the problems they face with her family-and his? 
 I loved every word of this book, laughing out loud in places, and getting wrapped up in the drama in others. Don't expect hot sex every other page, (the hot sex is there, just not everywhere), but the humor soaks through every paragraph. The characters are wild-in every sense of the word, and guessing what animal Toni's friend Olivia shifts into keeps you turning the pages. All in all, a joy, a pleasure, and a light-hearted romp through a talented author's imagination. Enjoy!
