Kiwi's review for Mrs Condit & Friends: Angelo is a hard working and responsible, laid back and happy fox shifter who has finally met his mate. But there’s a slight problem. His mate, Bishop is an OCD snow leopard shifter who constantly finds reasons to push away the men he has dated in the past. And when I mean OCD, I’m talking about sleeping-with-the-enemy-towel-straightening OCD neat freak. Angelo is a little messy, but he’s not a total slob. That fact alone is enough to send the neat freak, buttoned up snow leopard shifter into a tizzy. I loved Angelo and liked Bishop later. Bishop didn’t realize that Angelo was just the type of mate he needed to loosen him up and make him release some of that rigid control he has over himself and his surroundings. What he fails to realize is that the Fates paired him with Angelo for a reason. When he finally does wise up and realize that, it’s almost too late; he has succeeded in pushing his mate away to the point that Angelo is a leery of moving forward with their mating. Things have calmed down a little now that Maverick (the town’s mayor/alpha) is back in town. The paranormal world is still in chaos, but one bright spot in this is that Maverick has finally found who he was searching for. Angelo and his crazy friends (Johnny, Spencer, and his new roommate Parker), decide to spy on the three mysterious men who are hanging around in Brac Village. Angelo takes it upon himself to find out as much as he possibly can about these men. What he plans on doing with the information is anyone’s guess because an alpha he is not. A life threatening attack on Bishop makes him realize just how valuable his mate is to him and maybe he should just open himself up a little more to what the Fates have been trying to tell him the entire time. The way Angelo stands by and takes care of Bishop (even though he is not sure of the mating) said quite a bit about the type of person Angelo is and Bishop finally saw that. Other than the incident with Bishop and Maverick getting back who he was searching for, it was kind of calm. No rabbits being pulled out of the hat this time around, but that’s okay. The situations with these characters in this book wash over you gently. I am really looking forward to see how Maverick interacts with at least one of the mysterious men that have arrived in his town, though. Maybe there is another series in the works? Not sure but I wouldn’t be surprised. I’m just wondering when this author find the time to rest in between all of the series that she has going. It’s amazing how she can come up with these wonderful characters and storylines, able to connect them and still maintain their individual series. I truly enjoy them. As always, these are not standalone books. They’re part of a series whose characters cross over from other series. In order to follow the story line and characters you should read: Brac Pack, Zeus’s Pack, Christian’s Coven, and the Demon Warriors.
