2 werewolves, a career driven male and a broke distrustful female, find themselves tossed together when the male "accidentally" mentions in a job interview that they're married.As with all stories of this nature, hilarity and romance ensues when 2 characters, who are attracted to each other but have a lot of baggage, meet... or at least that's what this book promises. It adds a werewolf bit to the tried and true romance formula, by adding the whole "one true mate" thing and the ferocity of being super strong and animal like.To say that it adds anything groundbreaking would be a stretch, but it does make the journey worthwhile. The writer has a good command of the language to keep you hooked. You want to find out what happens next, even though you already kind of know.Dawn Steele has a medium command of the concepts and ideas introduced in the book. I wasn't sure I bought the descriptions of how advertising works. I didn't feel like the oblique references to pop culture like Star Trek, were necessarily used properly. But, these instances were mostly throwaway characterisations anyway, so they really don't matter as much.The main action element of the book is in the third act where the characters must prove themselves worthy by going on a "contest" similar to a famous reality TV show but using werewolf tactics. It was executed ok.At the end of the day, this book is about the romance between the two characters, and that was handled rather nicely. It didn't feel forced, or too deep that it required a degree is psychology to decipher. It's basically a read whenever you feel like turning of your brain romance. And I mean that in the best possible sense.It was good. Not something I would tell people was a must read, but if someone was thinking of reading a good shifter romance, and sees this story; I would say go for it. 3 stars.
