Pack Challenge: What's an Alpha Male to do when he meets the Alpha Female of his dreams? Step one, hide all sharp objects.
All Zach Sheridan ever wanted was to become Alpha Male of his Pack and be left alone. What he definitely didn't need in his life was some needy female demanding his attention. What he never saw coming was the vicious, scarred female who not only demanded his attention but knew exactly how to get it.
Sara Morrighan knew this was the best she could expect from her life. Good friends. A nice place to live. And a safe job. But when Zach rode into her small Texas town with his motorcycle club, Sara knew she wanted more. She knew she wanted him. But after one sexy encounter with her dream biker, everything is starting to change. Her body. Her strength. That new thing she's doing with the snarling. Even her best friends are starting to wonder what's going on with her. But this is only the beginning. Sara's about to find out her life was meant for so much more. And Zach's about to find true love with the one woman who makes him absolutely insane. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, and strong violence.

It all started when i was looking for some cool free reads for my kindle on Amazon. I downloaded “Pack Challenge”, ‘cause come on, I can’t resist a shifter book. But I didn’t read it right away, but one fine day I read Danielle’s review of the book on her blog, ALPHA Reader, and I thought to myself “Damn, i gotta read this ASAP”. So, I did and that that’s how my newest obsession with Shelly Laurenston started… True Story!
"Zach - "Yes. And Tigers. And mountain lions. There's an array of shifters."
Sara - "Bunnies?"
The Magnus Pack series is full of yummy smut goodness mixed in with hilarious characters, brilliant dialogue and just enough action to make you salivate. However, what makes these books so amazing is the relationship between the three friends, the 3 heroines that are the basis for the these books.
I could talk about how hot each leading man is or how their Alpha hero behavior will probably get you all hot an bothered. I can talk about how Shelly has built an amazing world that is subtly introduced, little by little with each book. But I want to talk about Sara, Miki and Angelina.
"You sniffed her ass, didn’t you?”
Conall didn’t even bother hiding his grin."
These three ladies, who am kidding, these three psychotic hell raisers met early on in life and have been inseparable since. They have other friends and people they care about, but they are each others Family and Happily Ever After. Yeah, they each get their mate in this series and hell yeah, each of their stories is scorching HOT! But the the relationship between these three is something that absolutes shines. If friends are the family we choose for ourselves, these three have the best family ever and no one can get in the way of that.
The Magnus Pack books are Paranormal Erotica brilliance! There is a LOT of smutty goodness, but what makes this stand out between so many other PNR series out there, is definitely the humor. I found my self literally laughing until I cried with these characters and I kept wanting more and more.
"Miki held up a tennis ball, looked at Sara’s new Pack, and tossed it out into the forest away from the ongoing rave. They all watched it go, then they turned back to Miki.
“Okay. Go…”
Sara and Angelina slapped their hands over their friend’s mouth before the word “fetch” could come out of it.
They pulled her over to one of the food tables.
“Are you out of your ever-loving mind?! Everyone here but us is like Sara.” Angelina snapped.
“And after seeing them in action I’d rather not fuck with them!”
Miki gave that innocent smile. “It was just a little experiment."
If you are a PNR lover like me, The Magnus Pack series is definitely a drug that you need to try ASAP. It’s completely addicting, but it will make your days so much brighter! I guarantee it!

I've been interested in Miss Shelley's books since I first read the back blurb of one back when I worked at a bookstore. But I still haven't read any of her books yet.
I hope to change that this year. ^_^
@Tura
oooh i hope you do change that this year! they are sooo good =D
Okay, so I am not going to lie, but the covers are ridiculous. I think that Jenny should do a book cover critique on them... ;) But the stories themselves? Sound friggin amazing! I don't read adult PNR all that often, but I think I am going to have to make an exception for these books... :)
I have GOT to stop reading reviews until I make a bigger dent in my TBR pile! Holy smokes! Those covers alone! haha
Ha! These sound like so much fun! The quotes killed me! LOL
