Description from the publisher:
Bryah Lam, living on the fringes of the shifter community is determined to unite her best friend with her long lost family, even if that means blowing through all her savings and going to the far side of the country to do it.

Caleb Terry finally has the chance to create a life of purpose and stability for himself through his enrollment at the Furry United Coalition Newbie Academy, and he’s determined to keep it that way. Simple and uncomplicated.

Until Bryah shows up disrupting Caleb’s budding ‘simple life’.

This book is part of Eve Langlais' Furry United Coalition ‘F.U.C.’ EveL Worlds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TOUGH NUT is the ninth book in the multi-author FUC Academy series and the first book in the Pedigree series from Jodi Kendrick.  Each is a stand-alone, paranormal, romantic suspense story set in the FUC world created by Eve Langlais.  You do not need to have read any of those books to start this series – I haven’t, though I wish now that I had.
 
Bryah is a squirrel shifter and, yep, she is exactly as twitchy as you would expect a squirrel to be.  She’s also as positive as you would expect one of those backyard clowns to be if you could make friends with one as a human. 
 
Jodi Kendrick is a new-to-me author.  I found her writing style humorous and a great fit for the FUCnA series.  I hope I get the chance to read more from her in the future!
 
Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
