When you can't read it late at night for fear of waking the household up - it rates high with me. This one had several of those moments. I won't go into deep details of the story - others have already done that. I just want to share why I liked this book. One of the reviews I read said something about not reading this book as a stand-alone. I would probably have to agree. To be able to get all of the humor and keep the secondary characters straight - you need to have read the other books. Personally I love when characters from previous books are not only mentioned but have a big part in the story. It keeps the series alive. Why read a series if each book is truly a stand-alone book? I loved the interactions among the various characters and that they each held true to their own personality in this book. DeeAnn was still very much DeeAnn. Irene was very much still Irene. Even having Angie, Miki, Conall, and Sara making an appearance was great. The romance was a little light in this one as far as the falling in love part, but that was ok, because a lot of the relationship is implied and understood from having read the other books. Laurenston doesn't rewrite the basis for her stories in every book. That gets old when you are a faithful reader. I can see the need if you are truly trying to write stand-alone books within a series but Shelly doesn't do that. She keeps her books going as if you are reading the stories in order, that you have the background knowledge of the other books while reading. I also liked that they didn't try to rehabilitate the "bad guy" at the end of the book. It was clearly understood that evil is just evil. If you are a faithful reader of Laurenston, you will enjoy the book. If you haven't read this author before - start with either Pack Challenge (Magnus Pack Series) or The Beast in Him (Pride Series). These are humorous, light reading. Enjoy a break from reality. We all need something to make us laugh at the end of a long day. These books will do it.

So it pains me very much to say how much I did not love this one.One of the things I like the most about this series is the sense of controlled chaos. The characters are over the top, the relationships are all intertwined and so many characters from previous books appear that it almost feels like this series is one long continuous narrative. However I think in this book it felt like the author lost control of that chaos.Toni Parker has descended on New York with her parents and ten genius prodigy siblings. Toni, we learn, is not a prodigy at anything except wrangling her family. The siblings range in age from toddler to 18. To the child, they are precocious, arrogant and talented. Toni feels a deep obligation to her family, convinced they can't function without her. So she has subsumed her own desire to get a job and possibly start he own family. But her ability to organize difficult people lands her a perk filled job with the shifter Hockey team after she manages to defuse a situation with the notoriously difficult Bo Novikov.Ricky Lee Reed meets Toni and is immediately smitten. He smoothly inserts himself into her life and ambles along as she grapples with her family and her new demanding job, finding her endlessly amusing.All the markers that make a typical Laurenston book are here: the outrageous characters, the well-drawn concept of the different shifter types that make up the world, and the humor that wafts over everything.And yet...yeah...I didn't love it.I think Toni and Ricky's romance got lost in the midst of all other other stuff happening. There are at least 3 or more side stories going on, including the continuing story of Dee Ann & Cella's hunt for a slippery psychopath who organizes shifter hunting parties for full humans. And then there is Toni's mysterious sister Delilah whose own side story here seems like a set up of a continuing arc. Every one of the previous couples from all the Pride books make an appearance and some of them have major page time. Even Sara, Miki and Angelina from her Magnus Pack series appear. So yeah, this felt chaotic and not in a good way.Also. Sigh. I didn't love Toni. Hands down I have been majorly in love with ALL of Laurenston's heroines. Every. Single. One. Even Sissy Mae from The Mane Attraction. But Toni veers dangerously near Mary Sue territory which is SO not what a Laurenston heroine is. And frankly I thought she was on the mean side in her interactions with Blayne. I find the supposedly funny convention of deliberately not remembering someone's name to be a dismissive tactic meant to belittle someone. For someone who deserves it it can be funny and well deserved. But Toni's dismissal of Blayne (she'd would mangle her name as 'Blank' or 'Bland') felt pointed and cruel especially because Blayne was really nice to her and just wanted to be her friend.I also disliked her family with one or two exceptions. I think I was supposed to like them and find them charming, but I didn't. I found them obnoxious and overly precious. Strangely I found myself most fascinated with the evil Delilah.Ricky Lee was great, though. Of all the characters that permeate this series I think this author has the best handle on the Smith clan, of which Ricky Lee is an honorary member. Now, he was charming and felt comfortable in his skin.Hence, I am putting this one in the 'ok, but not great' column. It is always great hanging out with the Pride crew and I did enjoy those parts, but I thought the romance got lost and I didn't really like Toni.Still love this author's work like crazy, though. Crazy!
24 of 31 people found the following review helpful. An Unexpected Letdown By Anna (Bobs Her Hair) Wolf with Benefits is the eighth book in Shelly Laurenston's hilarious and sexy Pride series. The female and male shifters - sometimes human mates - battle wits, pour on the charm, karaoke, race cars, display peculiar traits (love the bears!), and enjoy rigorous love lives. Set in modern times, the focus is primarily on the romance with an ongoing mystery-suspense involving human/shifter violence. This paranormal romance book has some of the ingredients Laurenston usually uses, but they are very weak. It was not what I expected...at all!The match-up is between Toni Jean-Louis Parker, a jackal shifter, and Ricky Lee Reed, a wolf shifter and relative of the Smith Pack. In a family of prodigies, Toni is the only sibling of average intelligence. She deftly manages her demanding family's hectic schedules. Appreciation for her services is rarely given. For the most part, the story focuses on Toni cutting the `umbilical cord' and finding her place in the world. Ricky Lee tags along.The romance was missing, although there are a few love scenes. The reason for Ricky's attraction is basic. The simplest conclusion I can make of Toni's attraction to Ricky Lee is physical proximity. He's there plus she's cute pretty much sums up their romance. Their sexy times did not scorch the pages for me; I didn't find the couple engaging nor did I feel emotionally invested, which I've felt toward previous main characters.Wolf with Benefits is listed as having four hundred pages. It was a struggle at the halfway mark when I realized it wasn't getting any better. The pacing is slow. The plot is unfocused. Previous characters appear and readers are given their status, mates' names, Packs' names, and humorous quotes here and there. The parade of characters felt like filler. Toni's siblings and secondary characters had little adventures that distracted me from the storylines I tried to follow.I seem to be in the minority regarding my feelings for this book. I have read and loved other Pride books. I thought this would be a `sure thing.' I was wrong. Maybe you won't feel that way. Read other reviews! I'll definitely read the next Shelly Laurenston book with the hope it will be much better and back on track to what I'm used to from this talented author.*ARC courtesy of Kensington via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
