It’s here that Dylan, who met Avery two years before when both of them recognized in the other their destined mate, intervenes in Avery’s life again. But when Avery bets on wolf races (an underground event run by a smarmy shyster named Vic) and gets in way over his head in debt, Vic sends his muscle men/wolves to not so gently remind Avery to pay up or else. Oh my golly I want one and if this enemies to lovers story is anything to go by so does Dylan Green’s inner wolf.Īvery begins as a spoiled, rich southern belle/beaux who is used to daddy and mommy bailing him out and providing for everything including his upkeep to his designer clothes and personal yoga instructor-no sweaty class full of strangers for him, thank you very much. Pairing a wolf shifter and a hedgehog has got to be the most unique idea I have ever read and honestly I could not have loved Avery more especially when it is described how he shifts and rolls into a little ball to protect and comfort himself. Reissued a little while ago, I finally have the opportunity to review this clever paranormal tale. When a fabulous writer teams up with another, one can often expect a creatively inventive novel to happen and such is the case with the writing duo of Piper Vaughn and Kenzie Cade and their story, Prickly Business. The sassy little hedgehog needs a keeper, and despite their horrible first impressions, Dylan starts to believe he might be the wolf for the job. Yet once Dylan steps into Avery’s world, he realizes there’s more to Avery than his prickly exterior, and that unexpected vulnerability calls to Dylan’s protective instincts. But when Avery gets into trouble with a shady loan shark, Dylan can’t stand by and let him be hurt-whether he wants the brat or not. He doesn’t need a mate, especially not some snotty hedgehog who sneers at his custom motorcycle shop and calls him a grease monkey. No werewolf likes to be looked down upon, least of all Dylan Green. He doesn’t want to be mated to some blue-collar werewolf anyway. His attitude is why he and his fated mate are estranged. He’s a hedgehog shifter from an old-money Louisiana family with a penchant for expensive shoes and a reputation for being a judgmental snob.

Some people might call Avery Babineaux a prick.
