Favorite Quote: "You still look a little untainted...we might need to do it again. Just to be sure."Shane Hewlett is the newest rogue vampire hunter aka "the bitch" for the Tribunal. Fully human, he rocks plenty of attitude and a mohawk as he uses every trick in the book to full fill his contracts. When a sexy woman nearly runs him over while out running a rampaging monster, Shane figures that his life is about to take a turn for the interesting.Siobhan, a sexy weapon welding druid, is a bad arse warrior who guards the gate between the Fae realm and New York. She uses her magic to kill or send back any Fae that make it through the gate. She has accepted the fact her family doesn't like her but she never thought they would sacrifice her on her 25th birthday. When she learns her virginity is what her family needs for the sacrifice to work, she appeals to Shane for help. Shane, a gentleman to the very end, has no problem helping to relieve her of this problem."You're gorgeous.""Great. So..." Her voice trailed off, and she gave a one shoulder shrug. "I'm not sure how this is supposed to go. Should I have brought you chocolates or something?"A Low Down Dirty Shane is a spin off novella from Sierra Dean's sexy action packed full length Urban Fantasy Secret McQueen series. I adore Sierra's Secret series so I was very excited when I received this one for review. Jam packed with Sierra's trade mark action, suspense, and snark; in here we get to know Secret's trainee-Shane Hewlett-a little bit better. Shane is hilarious. His self deprecation and snarky humor kept me chuckling throughout the book. He's sexy, obnoxious, and loud yet has a heart of gold and jumps in feet first regardless of his pesky human status.Fast pacing with an unforgettable plot, the story hooked me right off the bat and had me laughing myself silly as Shane and Siobhan face monsters, druids, and some incredible sexy times that leaves them both wanting to explore the relationship further. One aspect I enjoy about the series as a whole is Ms. Dean's characters are all badarse in their own ways. Human or supernatural, they all have the ability to hold their own no matter the situation. The romance is plotted well and while it isn't love at first sight, we get a realistic and believable connection between them that was comfortable. Plus, the chemistry is SMOKING!I thoroughly enjoyed this spin off and look forward to more exploration and widening of Dean's Secret McQueen world. I have learned there are at least two more in the making. Smexy Detective Taylor will be the main player in one. Woohoo. That's my man ladies-back off!Overall Rating-B
