Wolf with Benefits

Wolf with Benefits by Shelly Laurenston

OK, so all the reviews I have read on this book have been 4 and 5 star reviews. I thought great another outstanding book. This is the eighth installment of the Pride Series, and you can tell it is a series. I have never read any books in this series and I probably never will. This book is not a stand alone by any means, there are so many characters that I could not keep up with them and just stopped reading. It would probably have been an awesome read if I knew the back story and sub plots, but not having read them I could not figure who was who and what was going on. I am sorry to have to give this book a two 1/2 star review for stand alone purposes only. I’m sure I would have loved it if I would have read the rest of this series.
