This is book two in Bailey Bradford's highly entertaining series 'Leopard's Spots' and I was excited to get it. Oscar appealed to me, A LOT, in book one so I really wanted him to find what he needed in a mate. I was also intrigued because this book goes outside the feline shifters and now we've got a cat and dog scenario. HA! So far, this author has not disappointed on the action and plot line so I had high hopes for this second installment.From the moment Oscar stepped onto the pages I adored him. He's smaller, physically, than everyone else in the family and cursed (he thinks) with features almost pretty enough to be feminine, but he's definitely got the biggest attitude and I loved his sarcastic snark! It made the story even funnier. But hiding under that attitude is a sensitive man who is reeling from killing the cougar out to get his brother-in-law in Levi's story. So when he meets Josiah, a very large shifter, in a gay bar in San Antonio, after dealing with four large shifters, he's about had it and every memory of bullying he endured growing up comes busting out…along with his temper. And his temper is fierce.Josiah is son of the San Antonio wolf pack alpha, and he doesn't know what to make of the gorgeous, young, blond, and somewhat small shifter he meets in the club. Until he gets close enough to realize he's his mate. Josiah can tell that Oscar is hiding behind a facade and he's determined to get to the bottom of his mate's confidence issues. But, not until he finds out why three cougar shifters are stalking Oscar and his dad, Henry's, hotel room.It was so much fun watching Oscar and Josiah together. Their strengths and weaknesses totally balanced each other out and made the mating fantastic. As they made their way from Texas to Oscar's family home in Colorado, they dealt with cougar shifters chasing and hunting them, all the while bringing them closer together as a couple. Of course, once they get home, Oscar's family welcomes Josiah wholeheartedly, but even that doesn't stop the danger after them all.I enjoyed this book and look forward to more. This isn't a brain drain type of book, but the writing is fast-paced and the characters are immanently likable. If you like shifter stories that are full of family, drama, action, love, and hot sex this might be for you.NOTE: This book was provided by Total-E-Bound for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
