Review:

When Tanner takes a new job in Chicago, his first day of work leads to him just knowing he’s finally found his mate… unfortunately, he has no idea WHO his mate could be. But when he shifts on the full moon, he only has a month to figure out who the person is. Tanner’s determined to find his mate but his efforts to date the men at work prove futile… until he goes on a spontaneous date with his assistant and realizes the man he’s been looking for has been right in front of him. But as soon as Tanner realizes Jon is his mate, Jon disappears and Tanner’s left trying to find his mate once again.

This was an ADORABLE story. I loved that the author put a unique spin on it and made it so the wolves didn’t shift until they met their mates. It was interesting to see the different dynamics of the story and how while Tanner was an alpha, he didn’t have any of the ‘feral’ characteristics associated with the title. As for Jon, I loved that he was so geeky, he made things fun and cute and I loved his addiction to candy bars. I just really wished we could have seen Jon interacting with Tanner’s family.

I enjoyed this one but I had a few issues. For one, I thought that there were a lot of inconsistencies such as the fact “you didn’t know your mate was near until you touched”… except Tanner knew he had a mate nearby when he walked into his new office building and ‘smelled’ him on the air. Aside from that, there was too much sex for my tastes and got a tad repetitive throughout the story.

Overall, though, I liked this one. I really loved that Tanner spent so much time and effort trying to find his mate but failed to see his mate was in front of him the whole time. I loved Tanner and Jon’s interactions especially when it came to meeting Jon’s family. I’d love to see more of this world, though, so I hope Nico decides to make this into a series 🙂

Overall Impression: I liked it!
