Summary: Enjoyable!
Comment: Kitty Jane Sugarman's whole world changed in one furry instance. Raised as a human, she discovers she's actually part were-lion when an accident triggers her first shift. Now, Kitty finds herself traveling from Tennessee to Las Vegas to meet the father she thought dead... only to become targeted for death. Who is trying to kill Kitty and why? And can the sexy Max Stewart keep her alive?

Oh, Kitty is the perfect Southern heroine! I laughed out loud several times as I could easily envision her exact expression just by the gentle southern wit she would use. Christine Warren captures the heart of an independent Southern woman in Kitty and uses it to full effect. From Kitty's pride and determination to care for herself to the very vocabulary she uses, Kitty epitomizes the South. Her fierce resolve to stand on her own two feet makes her an admirable heroine but it is her sense of humor in the face of adversity that makes her oh so likable!

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE can easily be read as a stand alone. There are a few slight references to The Others series, but the story doesn't involve the characters from prior books. Rather, WALK ON THE WILD SIDE focuses on the Red Rock Pride. Once again, Christine Warren has written a fantastic book in a series that only gets more and more fascinating with each new entry into it.

Summary: Walk on the Wild Side
Comment: You know your week is going downhill when the hands of fate decide to dump on you one life changing encounter after another. Getting in a car accident was bad enough for Kitty Sugarman, but coming out of it on four paws means nothing will ever be the same again. As the clueless result of a human/were-lion encounter Kitty had no idea she was a female shifter with a were-lion for a father. Deciding to learn all she can about her new found abilities sends Kitty to the land of casinos, fast money and danger. A city where family get-togethers can result in bodily injury and only her stubbornness will keep her from falling flat on her face.

Marcus "Max" Stewart is second in command to Kitty's father who happens to be the Felix of one of the largest prides in Vegas. Keeping their pride's business running with ease is something that has occupied his time until the entrance of one sheltered belle with an accent southern dreams are made of and a freshness he never knew could be appealing. In honor of his Felix he will do everything in his power to make Kitty's time with her father bearable and keep her safe from an extended family that isn't too happy to see the latest addition to the pride.

This may come as a shock to the average paranormal reader but this was my first forage into the world of the Others, a world where paranormal beings live in harmony with their human counterparts. A Walk on the Wild Side is the story of Max and Kitty, two people who come together because of a shared connection with her father. From the first encounter, Max is smitten with the woman he'd prepared himself to dislike and soon the man in line to be the next Felix finds himself wanting to ensure not only does Kitty enjoy her stay but that just maybe she will find more than just answers to her question but also a reason to remain in his city. In a world where selfish seems to be everyone's middle name, Kitty is a breath of fresh air. A heroine even my grandmother would love with her honesty, manners, respect and a spark that lights up a room. Physical stature is the only place that Kitty is lacking because her fire, grit and overall sweetness will ensure readers will lover her as much as I did. Christine Warren has written an excellent addition to her fascinating group of Others novels, one that will electrify fans and leave them coming back for more.

Summary: I liked it!!
Comment: Poor Kitty has just found out she's a werelion and the father she thought was dead, is alive and living in Las Vegas. Since he's the only one she knows of who can help her with her new predatory instincts, she flys over from Tennessee to meet him. She is met at the airport by her first would be assassin who is scared off by Max Stuart, her father's heir apparent for the Red Rock Pride. One look at Max's yummy goodness and Kitty's ovaries sit up and take notice. He shows her around Las Vegas and soon it becomes pretty clear to both of them that there is something more than just a physical attraction between them. They are destined to be mates but unfortunately, Kitty's relatives all want her gone and the continued assassination attempts against her become almost commonplace. Max is determined to stick by her side and when Kitty is challenged for her right to be in the Pride, he's only too pleased to meet any threats head-on.

I really liked Walk on the Wild Side. It's much more attuned to it's animal side than any of the other, Other books, which made it interesting. Also the great Unveiling is rarely mentioned. This book was all about Kitty and Max and the Red Rock Pride and the titillating rituals of lion mating. They romp around and even mate once as their lion counterparts which I thought was weird and sexy at the same time. There is a lot of humor in this one and a lot of extremely painful encounters with greedy, ungrateful family members. Ugh, I don't think I've ever read such unabashedly greedy characters before. Kitty's relatives's attitudes were jaw droppingly over the top and if I was Kitty, I would have turned tail and ran. Max tries so hard to be a firm, aggressive male, which he is for the most part, but any time he got mad at Kitty I just wanted to swat him on the shoulder and go, awww. Kitty was feisty and sweet (love her name BTW) but her habit of saying "mamaw" and "papaw" was beyond annoying. *shudders*

There wasn't a whole lot of angst in this one, any resentment she was originally feeling towards her father melted away in lieu of the short time he had left and besides, she rationally concludes it's just not worth it. While it's too late to pick up as father and daughter, she can learn to like him but what she originally came out to Vegas for, she finds in Max. This was a short, sweet and sassy book and a nice addition to the Others series. Enjoy!
