BLURB:

Conrad Stokes knows he’s in trouble when he uncovers an embezzlement scheme and watches as his boss’s office is ransacked… by glowing-eyed shadows. Now his boss is dead, and Conrad is understandably freaked out and doesn’t want to go home alone. Enter Ryder, the gorgeous security specialist sent by his sister.

Ryder Weller didn’t know what to expect when he answered Connie’s call to escort her twin brother home from a seedy bar across town. A trashed apartment, the scent of dangerous wolves, and the overwhelming need to protect the human in his care at all costs wasn’t it. He sure wasn’t dreaming of forever… or finding a true mate. But it might all be within his grasp—after he breaks the news that “werewolves are real and hey, I’m one of them,” that is.

REVIEW:

This is the first book in this series and I say that it’s off to a wonderful start. The characters in this book are well written and engaging. The bodyguard trope is one of my favorites in this genre and one that I enjoy reading about no matter how many times it’s written. While this particular storyline is not new to me, it still managed to grab and retain my attention for the duration of this story.

It’s been a while since I’ve dabbled in the shifter stories and this one was a nice way to delve back into it. Conrad stumbles upon his boss’s embezzlement and is dragged right smack in the middle of it. Ryder is called in to help when Conrad find himself in trouble. The subsequent series of events was a perfect mixture and balance of humor, romance, action and adventure.

The author did a great job with these characters. Each character was featured in the storyline in such a way that  didn’t take focus from the MCs. This not only enhanced the story being told but sets them up for the next series to ensure a smooth transition from one book into the next.

I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to the next in the series. This author is new to me but and this book has sparked my interest in reading more of their work.
