Raymond

Growl and Prowl Series, Book 3

By: Eve Langlais

Narrated by: Grace Grant

This avid gamer is about to discover love doesn't mean game over.

As a hacker who rarely leaves the basement, Raymond's chances of meeting Mrs. Right are slim to none until his hermit-lifestyle is jolted. A warning to stop poking into his past comes with consequences—and intrigues this curious cat.

Raymond's only recently discovered he can shift into a lynx. He has questions, but the answers will require leaving his safe zone—and his comfy slippers—so he can find the one woman who can help.

A scowling and fierce woman who makes Raymond crave a happily ever after. Whereas Lainey would rather he disappear.

She isn't falling for his awkward charm. They must remain alert and never forget they're playing a game with an enemy who will stop at nothing to win. The stakes are their lives.

Is it game over for this budding love?

Contains mature themes.

And there it is: weres vs vampires!

“Everyone knew secret labs were found in basements.”
The series arc comes to a close here, along with an HEA for geeky shut-in, and were-Lynx, Raymond.
I suppose I could fault a series that keeps the old vampires versus weres thing alive, but this is less about meaty urban fantasy and more about campy adventure.

“Is this some kind of Pretty Woman thing?”
The enemies to lovers relationship between Raymon and Lainey gives good chemistry. Even if the series arc about experimentation and imprisonment is more prevalent, it’s kept on the vague end, keeping the overall tone light.

“I’m gonna call him Floofkin Two”
This one’s got an overdose of cuteness, but it still worked for me.
