A fun follow-up to the Reluctant Wolf.  This book picks up right where the first leaves off.  Griff is at Claude’s watching Kane and Shawn dance.  He decides to cut loose and drink himself out of loneliness.  Before he is done with his drinks he meets Diablo.  Diablo is a cat shifter and works for the FBI.  He has been on an undercover case for the past two years and finally has a weekend free, so he is looking for someone to keep him company for the night.  These two have a wild night that ends with Diablo’s cat claiming Griff.  Neither of them realized, when they met, that they were fated mates.The next morning, Diablo gets a call from his handler and he needs to go back to his assignment right away.  He is distraught because he just found his mate and didn’t want to leave him.  When Griff wakes up, he is disappointed that Diablo left, but while he was thinking about him he was shocked to find that they had a mate connection and could speak telepathically.  Diablo promises Griff he will return in two weeks, so Griff goes back home and waits for his mate come back.Nothing is as it seems, and Griff and Diablo do everything they can to ensure the safety of their mate.  These two characters are very sweet together.  They are prefect for each other.  You get a lot of information into Griff’s childhood.  The whole pack is present in the book, but they do not play as big of a role like in the first book.This story was full of twists and turns.  Much like the first book, the story starts off in one direction, then follows another plot, then ends with yet another mini plot.  It can be frustrating at times, but overall it flowed somewhat smoothly.  The book starts with bang, slows down a little, then picks back up and slows down again.The writing itself was okay.  There were some parts that I just shook my head at the silliness of it, but this is fiction.  We are reading about shifters and teleportation, so I didn’t take anything seriously.  If you didn’t like the first book, then you would not enjoy this story.  I was disappointed in how Kane welcomed Diablo into the pack.  It was out of character for him.Overall, I did enjoy the book.  It was a fun, easy, simple read.  Great for a lazy afternoon.  I would definitely continue reading the series.I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
