I love Stormy Glenn's books. Usually the name alone has me hitting the "Buy it one Touch" button for my Kindle. This book though was iffy at best. It was ok, but pretty much the meet, lust, have a communication problem, reunite, and take out the bad guy.The setting is a new Series with each beginning with the elders informing the gathered that each must find a mate in 24 hours or be put down as feral. And each person must mate outside their race. Vampire with werewolf,  bunny rabbit with dragon, ferret with hippograph......and so on....The guys in this story are Sterling, a vampire bodyguard( who looks like a twink) and Beau, a macho Alpha werewolf who oversees the entire Midwest. Add to that the fact that Beau is straight and engaged and you have a messed up mating. Neither wants the mating and are not very good at talking to each other. Sterling though seems happy enough with te mating and it gets him released from his bodyguard duties. Beau is confused and more than a little shocked to be responding to another man. But he is quick to want to expolore. I really felt more for Beau. He's in a powerful position and trying to do his best. He's agreed to marry for the benefit of his pack, but confused about his feelings for Sterling. And when he tries to talk to Sterling, he's tossed aside for his honesty.Sterling however, has a boulder sized chip on his shoulder and creates huge problems simply by not talking to his mate and being honest. One simple conversation could clear everything up, but instead Sterling abandons his mate and puts them all in danger.The bad guy was a bit of a let-down and hardly worth a few pages. The financee likewise was a caricature.It was an ok read, but not one I'm going to read again and again.
