Bear Your Teeth — Lynn Red

Paprika Lewis is a copper-haired, curvy-and-petite, rabbit shifting smart ass with two BIG problems. First of all, she's got a pair of buckteeth the size of Kansas that pop out every time she has a dirty thought. She might not win any marathons, but when it comes to dirty thoughts, Rika might be a world champion.

Those dirty thoughts are usually about a guy named Thor who happens to be her dentist, which is the second problem. It's great that she can really enjoying her cleanings, but when the guy she's sweet on looks down her throat regularly. Not so hot.

Oh, and Thor isn't just a stormy-eyed tooth expert. He's also the biggest, baddest, alpha werebear east of the Mississippi. Maybe west of it too, it's hard to keep track.

One thing's for sure though. Rika can hardly get her teeth cleaned, or floss at night, without thinking about those thick legs, and that trim waist that she imagines would be just about the perfect place to wrap her legs and let him... Whew! That might be Rika getting ahead of herself, which she does a lot.

Then again, with Thor's dental practice on the rocks, her BEARY big dentist is looking for somewhere else to go. Little does Rika know that he doesn't plan on leaving town without HER!

But Rika â€" for all her exciting impulsiveness â€" has been bit once too many times to be the most trusting rabbit in the world. Will Thor be able to prove to her that she's all he wants? Or will Rika's self-doubt -- and those damn teeth -- keep her from letting this big, bad bear into her heart?
