Jax is a lone wolf. He's a bit cranky, a lot anti-authority, but he is trying to keep his job in spite of his character issues. Bobbi is my favorite type of shero - she doesn't take any crap, at all, from anyone. Jax and Bobbi have been assigned to the same case, in which something is causing normally peace loving shifters to go crazy and attack anyone who is unfortunate enough to be around at the time. In order to get to the bottom of it, they go undercover at a BDSM club. Oh, and turns out, they are Fated Mates.What worked for me - so very many things worked. Loved Jax's cranky self from his first moment on the page, when he was out in the bad area of town, trying to find a fight to blow off some steam. When he realizes Bobbi is following him, and corners her, that first touch lets him know she is his Mate. He's not exactly rushing off to buy a ring and a dozen roses. Bobbi is no more thrilled to find her Mate than Jax. These two are not at all sure how to fit Mate into their to-do list, but their attraction to each other is sizzling. Oh, so well done.The plot - better than average mystery, with creepy bad guys.Great secondary characters who I hope we will see more of in future books. Kenneth comes to mind. Heath, Bobbi's brother, too. Loved Pixie, the street urchin/thief that Bobbi kind of adopts. Hilarious scenes between these two.Great, hawt smexy times. And the tender moments, like when Jax realized how badly he had screwed up, then later, realized how badly he had screwed up again. Sensing a theme?!? Thing is, he got it, and worked to make amends.The dialogue was fresh and honest, the writing was crisp and straight forward. A few typos caught my attention, but not enough to be an issue.What didn't work as well - Nothing.Bottom line - Best .99 I have spent in a while. Time very well spent. I am going back to read the first book in this series, and will be on the lookout for future titles. I really liked this a lot.
