F.U.C. Newbie Academy #20

Sammi and the Jersey Bull

Rate this book
A hedgie charged with identity theft. A bull with questionable familial associations. Tofu Taco Tuesdays are about to get real at FUC Academy.

A FUCN'A graduate, Samantha Andrews is eager to rise in the ranks. The thing is she's kinda sorta allergic to violence. In other words, things get prickly when this hedgie sniffs danger. When a position opens on campus, she jumps at the chance. Say hello to the new Conflict Resolution & Situation De-escalation Counselor!

Of course, acting as a shoulder to lean on for new cadets isn't all it's cracked up to be. Longing for more, she isn't prepared for her reaction when a stranger comes to FUCN'A. Especially when he accuses her of criminal activity!

Sergio Gravino is just another PRIC visiting the Rockies as far as anyone knows. His real mission is to find the identity thief who has left one shifter brutally injured. Hot on his target's trail, imagine Sergio's shock when his prime suspect turns out to be his mate.

Can Sammi convince him she's innocent?

*This paranormal romance is an EveL Worlds novella set in Eve Langlais' Furry United Coalition (F.U.C.) World!

This was a humorous and interesting Paranormal romance that takes place in the FUCN’A World. This is the second Book this Author has written in this world with other authors. There is a misunderstanding on his part that leads to him placing her under arrest for Identity Fraud, just for starters. He realizes they are mates, but he still believes she is guilty and he decides he will stand by to help even if he has to wait for her to serve her time. She needs to prove to him and the others she is who she says she is before it is too late for her and others. Very good story

Sammi and the Jersey Bull is a laugh out loud addition to the FUC Academy world. The acronyms alone; oy! Sergio Gravino is a Bull shifter and a stubborn detective Sammi is an accident prone hedgehog shifter and when these two cross paths watch out! I laughed myself silly.

Quick, sweet, fun read! I really enjoy the F.U.C. series.... fun and pick me up stories from great authors! This one is all sassy, snarky and sweet! Sammi, the Hedgehog shifter, is kind of a disaster walking... accident prone and sooooo nervous with herself. Sergio, the bull shifter, is confident, strong and cocky.... is a by the rules/book kinda guy. She barely graduates F.U.C.N.A and is starting her first job at the school to fill in for her friend going on maternity leave when she meets Sergio. Not a pleasant start to a relationship, he handcuffs and arrests her because of mistaken identity. Actually someone stole her identity and they have it a bit backwards. Sammi uses her brain, intuition and what she learned in school and makes a darn good partner for Sergio. She gets kidnapped and Sergio saves the day....and then Sammi figures things out and earns her F.U.C. wings. These are all stand a lone stories but I think it would flow better if read from book 1 and in order..... now I have to go grab a bunch of books! Enjoy!

Whenever you pick up a book that is set in the FUC Academy you are guaranteed laughs. Minutes after meeting his mate, he arrests her. Sergio realizes this is not a great first impression, but he has a job to do. Worse is, he believes she is guilty. Sammi's first day at her new job could not have gone worse. To top it off, she has to prove her innocence to the sexy DIC who has her in his custody. Which might be easier than keeping her hands to herself. Romance, humor and mystery will accompany them on their journey to a HEA. Amazing read for all shifter lovers! I received an early copy and this is my honest opinion.

Sammi and the Jersey Bull was funny and exciting. What do you expect when a hedge hog and a bull find out they are mates. If you like new a different shifters you will love this book. A great book to read

Take the bull by the horns
Another fantastic addition to the FUC Academy collection, and to this author’s library! I couldn’t help but laugh out loud to the antics of these two characters! The straight laced bull and the incident prone hedgie are a laugh a minute as they solve the mystery and work towards their HEA. I love the way previous characters were so involved in this story and the little hints of what is to come. The author did a fabulous job of keeping with the collection theme, her own world’s thread of continuity and creating a storyline that I can’t wait to enjoy again. Well at least until the next book comes out, and she leads me into the next adventure. I can’t wait!

Sammi's draem growing up has always been to become an agent of FUC like her Aunt Suzi. She has studied hard all her life and is thrilled to have been accepted to the academy until Aunt Suzi comes home deeply traumatized. Now Sammi is wondering if she really wants to end up like her Aunt and her hallucinations and terrors. Still Sammi went to the academy and perservered but she has learned that she has an unexpected allergy to danger. She seems cursed when things get a little scary and her hedgehog goes a little crazy. She has gained the nickname wedgie hedgie because of the feelings she inspires in her instructors. She does graduate from the academy but isn't offered a job until her best friend asks her to fill in for her at her conflict resolution job. Sammi agrees but quickly finds out that the job is not meant for her. It was almost a relief when that delicious smelling bull shifter arrests her.

Sergio is a PRIC agent investigating connecting cases of identity theft. He has found that some shifters identities have been stolen and loans have been taken out in their names without them knowing it. One identity theft victim and her grandmother disappeared over a year ago. Her name was Samanth Andrews. When Sergio goes to FUCN'A to get registration records, he runs into Sammi. One sniff and his bull is ready to claim her as his mate. It is too bad that it seems that she is the shifter he has been hunting for. Even when Sammi tries to tell him she really is Samatha Andrews and she knows nothing about the stolen identies, Sergio still keeps her as his prisoner. Her story is still a little far-fetched for him to believe.

We’re back at FUCN’A with a recent Academy grad Sammi, a hedgehog shifter. Her best friend is mated to a detective whose friend and coworker, Sergio, is investigating identity theft and the disappearance of several shifters. When Sergio sees Sammi his bull immediately recognizes her as his mate, but he still has to arrest her as his prime suspect. Now they need to try to overcome their awkward meeting and find the real bad guys. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.

Any story from this series is just so funny and romantic. The acronyms will kill you. There are just so many of them. Sergio is the lead investigator or Director In Charge (DIC). Sammi definitely likes to remind him that he really is one at times. The investigation leads to all sorts of hilarious moments. So many different types of shifters and in all sizes.

Charming, beautifully written, and hopelessly romantic. Isn't it just so great when you find one of those books that completely drags you in, makes you fall in love with the characters, and demands that you sit on the edge of your seat for every nail-biting moment of it? This is one of those books for me. You won’t be disappointed.

Get Ready for Laughs . . .

Be ready for lots of laughter as the straight-laced bull and the blundering hedgehog try to solve the mystery, clear her name, and hopefully are heading for a HEA. Samantha Andrews has graduated but wants to be part of life here. Her new job of Conflict Resolution & Situation De-escalation Counselor may not be a good fit for the hedgehog who reacts badly to violence. Then a strange comes to FUC Academy and accuses her of criminal activity!

Sergio Gravino, the detective in charge (“DIC”) is trying to find an identity thief. A shifter has already been brutally injured. Someone is ruining people’s credit, destroying their futures, and a young woman was even kidnapped. But Sergio was not ready to learn that his prime suspect is actually his mate! Will he let Sammi help him prove she is innocent? The romance, humor and mystery will keep you intrigued as they search for the culprit. These two may be opposites, but can they make a perfect team together?

Sammie and the Jersey Bull

This was a fun book to read. I really enjoyed Sammi, the hedgehog, and Sergio, the Jersey bull's story full of crazy acronyms and trouble for poor Sammi. Sammi is arrested for identity theft and now must figure a way to prove her innocence, especially to Sergio who has arrested her and may or may not be her mate. This book will make you smile and laugh and brighten your day. Excellent job.

I love the FUCN’A books. They are romantic and at times hilariously funny and this is no exception. It has fated mates and a happily ever after ending….eventually. Sami is a hedgie shifter and she’s kinda, sorta allergic to violence. She decides she wants to help new cadets to the agency so when a job opening for a conflict counsellor comes up she jumps at the chance. She soon realises it’s not as exciting as she thought. When a bull shifter comes charging in accusing her of identity thief she’s more than shocked. She wanted adventure but this takes the biscuit and when Sergio realises Sammi is he mate he can’t believe it. Sammi needs to find a way to prove her innocence and find out who it is really.

The twenty-first book in the FUC Academy series another well written story with a very good storyline. Hedgie shifter Samantha Andrews and Jersey bull shifter Sergio Gravino's story of suspense, drama, mystery, danger, twists, turns, villains, and romance. The story was well worth reading.

Love this series. Hedgie is trying to move up in the FUC Academy but she's allergic to violence. Sergio is a bull shifter who's really confident, strong, and goes by the book. He track the Sammie and right away he say's "Mate" but she is the suspect he's been tracking. Now Sammie has to prove and convince him that she's not the person he's looking for. There is plenty of action, kidnapping, intrigue, mystery, humor, and a perfect couple. Even when opposites attract. Great addition to the series.

Another fantastic hilarious addition to the FUC Academy collection! You couldn’t help but to laugh out loud to the antics of these two characters! You have Sergio, who is a straight-laced bull that finds his mate, Sammi who is an incident prone hedgehog that proves that opposites do attract but also complement each other. The author did a fabulous job of keeping with the collection theme, and with all the hilarious innuendos and mystery. I couldn’t put this story down and I am eagerly waiting for the next FUCN'A book to be released.

I received a free copy of this book via StoryOrigin and I along with voluntarily reviewing this book, I also highly recommend reading this story.

mistaken identity

The case of the stolen identity with a mix up added in. Sammi is having trouble passing her FUCNA class because she doesn’t like violence. Sergio is looking for an identity thief who may also be a murder. When Sergio first sees Sammie he thinks mate, then he learns her name and can’t believe she may be his suspect. Can Sammi prove her innocence and get her bull? Will Sergio be to bullhead to give her a chance to prove herself? Come on in and find out if a hedgie and a bull can find a happy ever after.

These two are non-stop funny bantering back and forth . Sammi is thrown literally into this job, after barely graduating F.U.C.N.A and now on top of that her mate thinks she is doing criminal activity ? Like are you Serious? But for Sammi and Sergio it gets much worse before it finally gets better. Will they get a HEA

This story was absolutely hilarious from the acronyms to the intended meanings. I laughed and laughed. It is one of those stories that if you don't read between the lines and get the innuendos, you are just basic and I am soooo not basic. To watch Sammi grow in the story was awesome because the story leaves you with knowing she has come into her own confidence and power. Sergio was the perfect mate for her, absolute opposites but together they complimented each other well. I was pleased from beginning to the end and cant wait until the next FUCN'A Book is released.

I love this story so much! It’s both hilarious and sexy with all the funny quips and acronyms! Fated mates find each other in the middle of an investigation. Sammi, the cute and sassy yet accident prone hedgehog, finds herself accused of being the prime suspect of heinous crimes by Sergio, the sexy bull shifter and detective in charge. The clock is ticking to prove her innocence and to claim each other! A hot and steamy and so stinking cute story with a wonderful HEA!

When Samantha Andrews (Sammi ) to her friends first meets her mate he arrests her. Sergio is stunned when he meets Sammi she is perfect except for the identity theft and kidnapping he believes she is involved in. The Acronym's are funny and the story holds your attention from beginning to end. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by this author.
