Sally Ann Washington’s life has gone through major upheaval and she just spent a nail biting, cringe worthy Thanksgiving with her littermate’s new extended pride. What she wants for the rest of her holidays is to find a little peace and quiet and maybe a little love between the pages of her favorite romance writer’s new book. But her pushy mother has already purchased her a speed dating package … speed dating package at Camp Pounce. Can she speed date her books and ignore the hot guys trying to distract her out of the pages?

I got really into this story. I wish it was a bit longer. I had to take a star off due to some interesting editing choices that left me slightly confused and the lack of explanation about the claw thing. It took a while for me to realize most of these matings involve multiple men. I do plan to read more from this author.
Camp Pounce: A Rare and A Unknown World by Shai August a wonderful story to read writen by a brand new author for me to read. I highly recommend this story to all.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
What a enjoyable reverse shifter romance about Sally Ann finding her mates at Camp Pounce. Sally Ann’s mother who she calls Hurricane Thelma signed her up to Camp Pounce a mating camp for shifters during the Christmas Season. While on her way to the camp she meets Sherry who she befriends when Sherry tells Sally Ann she is here because of a male she wants as a mate. They go out that night to eat and drink and the first ceremony is the Sniff Array. Together they introduce themselves to a group of men which Ranger and Delta are in but when it comes time for Sherry to make her move on Ranger, Sherry back off making Sally Ann to make a move. When dinner is called Ranger, Delta, Gregory, Pruitt and Mustafa and others ply for Sally Ann’s hand. Because Ranger chose Sally Ann instead of Sherry a rivaling occurs between Sally Ann and Sherry. Will Sally Ann during the final competition claim Ranger as her mate? This has touches of humor, cute dialog, and steamy romance which was entertaining to read and review. ARC

~REVIEW~
The Quick and Dirty: Scorching hot novella about a shifter whose parents send her to a camp meant to find shifters mates. Competition, jealousy and abound.
A quick and salacious read that I flew through. The competition between the guys for Sally Ann’s affections felt sort of like a cross between speed dating and the bachelorette lite. For anyone has been reading Shai’s R&U series, this is the perfect companion. The only thing that turned me off a little was how things started off with Sherry; it made me not like Sally Ann so much but as things progressed it made more sense and worked out in the end.
A perfect, scandalously hot read to keep you warm on a cold night!
