Prince Hudson by Lily Cahill

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Billionaire bear shifter Hudson Royce has learned to keep women at arms-length. He’s been used before, and protecting his privacy is a top priority. Besides, he’s too busy running one of the most powerful corporations in Chicago to waste his time on real relationships. But when a chance encounter with a bold, curvaceous stranger has him believing in fated love, he’ll stop at nothing to make her his. 

Ballsy businesswoman Kay Hennessy wasn’t sure she’d ever set foot back in Chicago after her ex cheated on her and broke her heart. When she finally revives her courage, she returns to the city only to be courted by the man who once devastated her. Chase wants her back, and she’s ready to consider his proposal until she meets a sexy billionaire who may have a few extra talents she didn’t even know were possible. 

Little do either of them know that Hudson is really a shifter prince who can’t take the throne without a mate. And an opposing clan will do anything to keep him away … even if it means killing the person he loves most.

The heroine: Kay – she is a curvy girl whose boyfriend Chase had cheated on her with many women and had taken the promotion to CEO of her fathers company that she had been working for, then had dumped her six months ago, telling her she just “doesn’t look like a CEO’s wife”. Now that she is back in Chicago, she still wants him and is hoping that he regrets breaking up with her. When he called her right after she landed, she agreed to see him and is out at a hotel bar, dressed to the nines, to meet him. Kay was successful in her own right, she had an MBA from Princeton and has nearly a dozen interviews scheduled in the next few weeks, she also had just produced a movie as a favor to a friend.

The Hero: Hudson – he is a bear shifter and one of four sons of the Queen. His mother sent all four sons away when they were young to keep them safe from a rival clan called the Zoltags that were determined to kill them. They were raised separately, and Hudson grew up with an aunt and uncle, never knowing he had three brothers or much at all about his parents, he thought they died in a car accident. Hudson has since become a billionaire CEO of his own company and is known as the most eligible bachelor in Chicago.

The story: When Hudson sees Kay across the bar, he immediately suspects that she is his mate. He thinks she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, and she is curvy in all the right places. He introduced himself and asked her to have a drink, and since her ex was late, Kay agreed. Chase never did show up and Hudson and Kay ended up going up to a suite and hooking up. Though Kay assumed she was just one in a long line of women for Hudson and left in the morning while he slept.

I liked the fact that there was a terrible ex-boyfriend wanting Kay back, and there were some other shifters after Hudson, and he was unaware of much of his back history. It made for a more exciting story. This was a pretty short read, at only 185 pages, but long enough to have a decent storyline and some steamy sex scenes. Overall, a good bear shifter story, though I kinda hate the whole curvy girl storyline, I just don’t like when a woman is not confident in her appearance. I am definitely that way, but don’t like to read about people like me. I like to read about the beautiful people.
