When Tanner moves to Chicago for a new job, he experiences his First Shift, a revelation that signifies he’s met his mate since the last full moon. The only problem? He doesn't know who it is. To find his mate, he enlists his new assistant Jon to arrange a series of dates, but each one turns out more disastrous than the last.
With the next full moon quickly approaching, Tanner finally determines the identity of his true mate. Unfortunately, Jon has since disappeared, and Tanner must now begin a new search. Is it really Jon’s family crisis pulling him away, or is Jon just not that into him?
A werewolf who doesn’t shift until he meets his mate? And when he’s met him or her, doesn’t know who it is when back in human form? A werewolf who is as clueless as the rest of us until he is mated and gets his wolf senses even in human form? That is bound to lead to some errors, misunderstandings, and general confusion—and that’s exactly what this story is all about. Both main characters are clueless, and I have to blame most of their antics for the first half of the book on some sort of hormone overload. I mean, even a human would not miss all the signals they’re both giving off… At least I don’t think so. Nevertheless, once I had accepted the “rules” of this supernatural world, I was able to lean back and thoroughly enjoy Tanner’s and Jon’s fumbling to find “the one” for them.
Tanner knows the moment he starts his new job that he’s found his mate. But since his human senses can’t identify him or her, and his wolf senses don’t come in until he is mated, he has a problem. He starts a search by dating the men he suspects might be it for him, only for each one to drop off the radar rather quickly. The solution is too obvious (at least I thought so), and I had great fun seeing Tanner run in circles and missing all the clues. When he finally does figure it out, it is almost too late. And then all sorts of mayhem starts happening, making for a very tense second half of the book. All in all, this was a great mix of humor, a tender romances, and some surprising evil trying to make everything undone.
If you’re looking for werewolf alphas of a different kind (i.e., without a testosterone overload), if two clueless men trying to understand what the heck is going on sounds like fun, and if you’re looking for a cute, humorous read with lots of sweet romance and a touch of the supernatural, then you will probably like this novella.
