BLURB:
Just a little Love Bite: An angel runs into a dilemma when the man he’s supposed to be helping is associated with his stella guida.
As an angel, Mordecai has the ability to read the thoughts of others. Sitting in a coffee shop, eyeing the human he’s there to help—Charles—Mordecai listens to the man’s internal troubles so he can discern the best way to assist him. Mordecai hears Charles wondering why he’s agreed to meet his workout buddy, Jeffrey, for coffee… knowing Jeffrey intends it as a date. According to Charles’s thoughts, the human has never bothered acting on his occasional flash of appreciation for the opposite sex, and he doesn’t see the point in doing so now.
Mordecai assumes that his task is to help Charles come to grips with his desire for the occasional male. In the past, he’s spent time talking with his assigned human, walking them through a bit of soul-searching. Mordecai doesn’t think anything is special about the assignment. He’s done it plenty of times before.
Everything changes when Mordecai gets his first look at Jeffrey and meets the man’s gaze. The human, Jeffrey—Charles’s date—is his stella guida, his guiding star—the one human he can share a soul with. How can Mordecai help Charles come to grips with dating Jeffrey, when every instinct screams at him to take him for his own?
REVIEW:
Note: While this is the 30th book in this series, it can be read as a standalone. Some of the characters were featured in previous books, so slight spoilers for those books but it won’t impact the stories of each of the couples.
Mordecai is sent to watch and assist his human charge Charles. On his way he does some other good deeds 🙂 But when he meets the guy, Jeffrey, that Charles is afraid he has led on and now needs to let down gently insisting he doesn’t swing his way, things get complicated. Because Jeffrey is really meant for Mordecai!
There are lots of complications thought. Mordecai is able to rely on a fellow angel Malakai and his stella guida, the vampire Murdoch. They help him make the move he needs to locate Jeffrey and pursue him. Then Jeffrey unwittingly begins their bonding process.
Jeffrey and Mordecai return to the ranch where Mordecai is staying after a rather abortive first date. Mordecai can’t exactly explain the paranormal world in a public restaurant 😛 Again his friends help him, and surprisingly Jeffrey take the revelations pretty well. And their bonding is epic 😉
Of course there has to be a fly in the ointment, and that fly is Reagan a colleague of Charles. He wans Mordecai for himself. Needless to say that ain’t happening 😀
Well I honestly didn’t remember that there were angels in other books in this series, to be honest, but I really liked Mordecai in this one. I always like reading about the new “soul mates” of the various non-humans and this one is different with the angels and their stella guida. This was a great little story in this world of fated mates. I loved Jeffrey’s personality and Mordecai’s hesitance. They are great together. If you love this series, you will really enjoy this one.
