I love shifter books, so jumped at the chance to read this one when it came up at NetGalley.This is first in the Seattle Wolf Pack Series.Emelia, a bar owner and office temp, is annoyed, offended and feels unjustly used when the bar she was told she owns is now held by Drake Wilder. Emi takes a job as a temp in his corporation, hoping to speak to him, but he proves elusive. She schemes to confront him the office Halloween party held in his home.  She's dressed as Little Red Riding Hood. In the wine cellar she meets this wonderfully attractive man, who kisses like sin, not knowing that he is her boss.  Once she realized who he is, and he her, that's when the sparks fly. Drake, once he realized that she was his Luminary, his mate for eternity, had hoped to ease her into his world. He invites her to a gala where she is thrust into the shifter world when Drake's brother, Silas, a truly nutso shifter with delusions of grandeur, confronts her.I was a bit shocked at the lengths that Emi, while working in his office as a temp, went to disrupt his business. The issue with her bar kind of fizzled out, too. In fact, there were several threads that just went nowhere. There was a lot of "telling" rather than "showing" in this book.At one point, Alpha Drake, lets Emi go into hiding without searching for her for three days. He would get physically ill if he didn't see her...and yet he let three days go by without seeking her out? They also had this bonding connection, but he didn't feel her massive fear? Yes, I found that odd. This is the first book in a series, so there was world-building going on, I understand that.New shifter worlds are enticing, and I have high hopes for the next book. With Logan, maybe?This is a THREE BOOKMARK read for me.This review may also be found at:Beyond the Squee: Book Reviewswww.beyondthesquee.comThank you, NetGalley and Entangled, for the opportunity to read this ARC.
