Book Review: Hedging Her Bets by Erzabet Bishop

 

Book Description

There is strength in submission…and knowing who you are.
Natalie Erinaceus has a problem. Her manipulating mother won’t stay out of her dating life. One more dinner with a blind date and someone is getting a fork to the eye. Her inner hedgehog wants a mate and nothing is going to stop her. Not her nervous hedgie’s habit of balling-up, and certainly not that online questionnaire. Who writes those things anyway?

When Sylvia and Paige from Shifting Hearts Dating Agency step in, maybe, just maybe this curvy girl will find more than she ever dreamed in the arms of the men who are fated to be her mates.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained…
Lucas Morgan runs Scarlet Ink, a tattoo shop across from Ventures, a sexy as hell BDSM club. When his sister Scarlet sets the stage for romance, he meets Jonathan, a werebear in need of more than just some ink. Can Lucas learn to bend to the Dominant of his dreams? What happens when this cat shifter switch meets the perfect sub and his dreams of having a woman in his life become reality?

Three makes a family…
Jonathan Blevins is a bear shifter looking for love. His family murdered by poachers, he came to Cypress Canyon to rebuild. When he finds Lucas, its one step in the right direction. He has one mate but can he convince a stubborn hedgie she’s ready to be claimed by not just one mate, but two?



My Review

Natalie is a hedgehog shifter and her mother wants her to settle down with a nice guy that she approves of so her mother keeps setting her up with dates. Her mother is controlling, rude and Natalie finds out she's been treating her dad badly as well. 

Natalie decides to take things into her own hands and sign up with Shifting Hearts Dating Agency to find a mate. Natalie ends up going to a party at a BDSM club where she gets the attention of not one but two men there. Lucas and Jonathan are mates but they want a female mate to complete them and when they meet Natalie, they know she's the one for them. Now if only they can convince her of that. 

When Natalie comes face to face with her parents at the club and the two man come to her rescue from her mothers vitriol, she decides to give them a chance. 

This was such a sweet romance. There wasn't much BDSM in this Natalie is new to all of this and the guys want to go into this new relationship slowly. I loved that but at the same time if they were going to be in the club so much I would have thought that some kind of BDSM play would be taking place. So I'm a little torn about that. But it was a sweet romance. 

I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
