I wasn't sure I'd like this book when I started it. Dr Manners was a ok character but u don't get to completely invest in him and u do very much get a certain side. When clarice shows up in book I didn't like her but she very quickly grow on me and the way she dealt with sleeping lion and pride was hilarious. With the later book they are about other characters that u may not know very well but u quickly love the story. Some people hated the FUC ASS but I loved it. It just show a bit a sense of humour in the series hasn't died. I f utake this series to seriously then ur reading wrong writer. Looking forward to next book. Great HEA.

Not enjoying this one as much as I did the rest of the series or any of Eve Langlais' other books. Not entirely sure why.
I couldn't really connect with either the good doctor or the birdie so perhaps it derived fro there, but neither of them were likeable characters in any way.

Clarice & Nolan
I really enjoyed the book before this one.
I wasn't a fan of Clarice. Sorry I liked her but her attitude just rubbed me the wrong way.
I did love the taught's she did to his mother though that was funny.
The beast on the phone kind of freaked me out I wasn't expecting it to be a chimp that's for sure.
I can't fault Nolan for taking so long to find a mate considering what a nutter his mother is.
I mean to walk in on his son an his girlfriend going at it and then she critiqued the girl so very wrong. Funny but wrong lol

I really liked this 4th book in the series. The humor was really good (though not as good as in the other books, in my opinion), the story fast-paced and the characters amazingly lovely. Only the romance didn't quite touch me as much as in the other books in this series.
And the new villain was great too. Can't wait to read more in this amazing series.

Not as fun as some of the others. Still cute but didn't connect with the main characters so much. I did like the family and the family scene. The woman seemed to fit right in with the family's temperament.

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.
Dr. Nolan Manners is a lion and has been caring for the victims of the Mastermind. Most of these victims has not only physical issues from the experiments, but also a lot of psychological trauma from the torture they endured. Most of the patients see all doctors the same and don’t realize that he is just trying to help them and that they have to keep them confined for their own good while they get better. This becomes all too apparent when the patients escape.
Clarice is a falcon and a member of Avian Soaring Security (ASS). Yes, FUC and ASS are working together to try to get this mutated patients back before they expose all shifters to the humans. Clarice was an orphan and never had a family and joined ASS at a young age, so they are the closest thing to a family she’s ever had. She is a little cold-hearted because she hasn’t had much love growing up.
Dr. Manners on the other hand grew up in a overbearing pride of lions with an even more overbearing mother. As the only male, he is quite spoiled. The pride cleans his apartment, delivers food and pretty much spoils him. He is also very cranky if he doesn’t get his naps, lazy cat.
This is another fun addition to the series. It has it’s laugh out loud moments. The interaction between Clarice and Nolan’s mom are great. Not to mention at one point when Nolan’s hair is sheared off, silly lions and their manes. This is a fun story of opposites attract.
Narration
Abby Craden did another great job with the narration. I’ve come to depend on her for outstanding narration. I’ve even started picking up other series with her as the narrator. She is great with both male and female voices.
I like to thank Audible Studios for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Nolan has a meddling mother who is wanting him to become the male lion he is intended to be, he should be sharing his bed with the best women out there but Nolan isn't interested. Clarice is a falcon with an attitude and when she is put with Nolan, they find a chemistry that two complete opposites would never expect. First things first, crazy killer on the loose and they need to act quickly before it is too late.
This was fun, I liked that they were so opposite. Nolan you were not quite sure what to expect but he becomes a series favorite. I liked Clarice she was a very different character and enjoyed her banter. Great read.

This is probably my least favorite so far. I didn't mind the main characters but Nolan got on my nerves quite a few times and made me skim sections of the book.

Well this is the fourth book in the Furry United Coalition, and I think that this series has just jumped the shark. What was cute in the first three books is no longer.
See the jokes about how FUC sounds like fuck are juvenile and they’ve been stretched to their breaking point, especially as this time around we have the Avian Soaring Society or ASS. And it’s not cute either. At one point Clarice says “ASS/FUC action” (geddit “ass fuck action”?) and I wanted to throw my laptop around.
But beyond that, the characters are unlikeable, Clarice is a bitch. A stone-cold one. And it takes way too long for her to behave in a way that makes you think she has redeeming qualities and really by the time I found out she was an orphan I just didn’t care. She was incredibly rude and demeaning to everyone from FUC, just because, even though in a liaison-style position you’d think she could keep her mouth shut on that stuff. She ignores things like being told Miranda is a good fighter because, um because! She refuses to believe that Nolan has his job because he’s a good doctor instead assuming he’s just a pretty face, and even when proven wrong takes way too long to change her mind.
Nolan never truly acts, it’s true that he’s a doctor and not a warrior, but he never seems to take any action to disprove what Clarice thinks. Nolan doesn’t ever fight as a human near Clarice, he gets knocked unconscious by two women who want to breed with him (no, really) leaving Clarice to save him. Which means all his protests of how he’s a skilled fighter ring false.
Nolan’s mother just reminds me of the O’Neills and Malone’s from Shelly Laurenston’s Pride series, except the Malones and O’Neills were more interesting that Nolan’s pride. Also the fact that his mother was sooo concerned that he reproduce was creepy as hell. Like almost to an incestuous level.
The actual plot behind the “villain” of the story was a thinly veiled excuse to put Clarice and Nolan in the same house and after the mastermind this version of an antagonist was weak. Where the mastermind was completely the over the top to funny, the patient going crazy and blaming doctors was a) pitiable because of what had happened to him and ultimately anti-climactic. Clarice “deduces” the location of patient’s hideout entirely off-screen and so fast it makes Nolan’s capture seem more ridiculous and unnecessary.
Anyway, this is the last FUC book I will read.
