Awks! This book title definitely has a double meaning for Irish readers

Ride, score and shift. Three words that sound totally innocent in most parts of the world – but have a very different meaning once you touch down on our tiny island.

One poor US author may have learnt that the hard way after her unfortunately-titled book made it to Irish shelves recently, much to the amusement of some readers.

Lisa Childs is a Michigan based-author working for Mills & Boon, and we reckon she's definitely never used the word "shifter" in the way we have:

You can pick up your copy of Taming The Shifter in Chapters now, according to Redditor Blackcrusader who spotted it this week.

This "shifter" in Lisa's case is actually a warewolf named Warrick James, who appears to be the love interest in the novel. So he's a shape-shifter, who also happens to like… well…. shifting.

Sounds like a very interesting read indeed…
