My Review

Jaden and Felix set up a new security company using members of their old Special Ops squad. Piper is the founder of Mateless mates and her and her friends attend Paranormal Dating Service dating event where surprising to everyone there, the guys from Jaden and Felix's security company find their mates. This is strange since most shifters have a hard time finding their mates and the female mates are human which is also surprising. 

When Jaden and Piper meet, they knew right away that they are mates and Piper rushes right in and claims Jaden not realizing that she can't treat Jaden like a human because he's not. Piper doesn't understand all the shifter culture or how Jaden is feeling since she doesn't know much about shifters but she knows she wants this to work so she keeps trying with him. 

So while Piper and Jaden are trying to work out how to have a relationship, there's a faction of people out there that want to make sure that shifters and humans don't mate. And they put both Jaden and Piper in danger. Jaden is in more danger because if he and Piper don't complete the mate bond soon, he might lose control of his animal. The danger ratchet's right up but Jaden isn't giving up on his mate that easily. The bad guys really shouldn't have messed with Special Ops shifters, they opened up a can of whoop ass and the guys are bringing the fight to them. 

The action, romance and characters really made this a fun book to read. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
