Willing Prey by Allie Oleander

After a messy divorce from her cheating ex, Claire jumps at the chance to pay off her student loans. Her teacher salary and the little she makes as a waitress hardly make a dent, so $30,000 for 30 days seems like easy money. But Shane is nothing like she expected. Sure, in the woods he's the wild hunter, but at home he's socially awkward and even a bit shy and she'll try anything to see him smile. When the contract is up, will she be able to let him go?

This book is definitely dark and spicy, as expected, but I loved seeing the heart and emotions behind the characters as we get to read from both points of view. Shane's chapters especially had me seeing him not as a heartless control freak, but as a lonely man taught to suppress his emotions. The banter between the two was fun to read and the story was fast paced with a lot of action. And OMG... the bear scene!!! I about died laughing. I'm so excited for the sequel now!!

Thank you so much to Berkley Publishing Group and the author Allie Oleander for my ARC of this book. I was so excited to receive my copy!
