The Animal Under the Fur by E.J. Mellow
4.0
A whole lot of badass-ery in this one that I didn't know I needed! I laughed, I gasped, I got all giddy and chewed at my nails the entirety of the book and I just couldn't get enough of Nashville and Carter!
This story follows Nashville Brown, aka K-Op 3, who was abandoned as a little girl and trained to work for SI6 after having been discovered of her A+ genome, a genetic mutation that enhances the senses and strength of a human. She then comes across Mr. Cocky himself, Carter Smith, who works for the COA. After having lost his entire family, he resorts to fulfilling his needs with women and getting shit done. Worlds collide when these two are put together to work on a mission, and the hate between them may be their undoing.
This was my first E.J. Mellow novel and I am definitely continuing to read more from her! I was so easily captivated by the idea of this book and these characters made it all worth while. I loved the intensity of this book and after having read something like this, I am now on the hunt for more!
By far, my favorite part of this book was Carter Smith. While he may be super cocky in his abilities, both in and outside of the bedroom, he attracted me for many reasons! One being how, despite the hatred between the two MCs, Carter showed such a longing and care for Nashville that allowed us to see his vulnerable side. Now, while we don't get to see this for quite a while, I may have just been attracted by his description. HA!
Nashville also stood out to me in this novel because she is just as badass as I would have imagined. Reading about her and these calculated moves left me feeling as if I were watching it unfold right in front of me. E.J. Mellow was able to write these scenes so perfectly, and I respect how much research she must have done for this to flow so smoothly.
Nashville also comes from such a tough beginning and I felt for her on many occasions. I love that we were able to see between her two personas, Nashville and 3. I thought that was such a simple but nice touch as we volleyed between the two and got to also see Nashville's vulnerable side.
I am so glad to have been given the chance to read 'The Animal Under the Fur'!
If you're looking for a hate-to-love story full of explosive, nail-biting action, two sharp-witted MC's, all while admiring some pretty clever and nerdy shirts, then this is your book!
