Publisher's summary

Going home digs up bad memories, so it's something Bureau of Special Investigations agent Cooper Dayton tries to avoid. When he's guilted into a visit, Cooper brings along Oliver Park, his hot new werewolf partner, in the hopes the trip will help clarify their status as a couple...or not.

When Park's keen shifter nose uncovers a body in the yard and Cooper's father is the prime suspect, Cooper knows they're on their own. Familial involvement means no sanctioned investigation. They'll need to go rogue and solve the mystery quietly or risk seeing Cooper's dad put behind bars.

The case may be cold, but Park and Cooper's relationship heats up as they work. And yet if Cooper can't figure out what's going on between them outside of the bedroom, he'll lose someone he... Well, he can't quite put into words how he feels about Park. He knows one thing for sure: He's not ready to say goodbye, though with the real killer inching ever closer...he may not have a choice.

Contains mature themes.

Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

Loved it!

This book is amazing! I love Cooper and Oliver so much. They're so adorable together. This story is intense. It was hard to put it down. It's exciting for Oliver to meet Cooper's family and for them to find out things...
Cooper is so funny. I love how Park calls him a porcupine. 😂
I don't listen to ai or virtual voice so I'm glad the audiobook narrator is human. Erik Bloomquist did a good job.

So much better...

The narrator is so much better, which makes the story that much better. I am slowly but surely falling in love with Oliver and Cooper. Meeting Cooper's father and brother and the mystery that unfolds was great listening.

Loveable Idiots

This is a multiple reread for me. it's a series that I have returned to on a multitude of occasions and I love it each and every time. That being said I do not think that this one is as good as book 1.

I do think this book is insanely important for Cooper especially. The healing he has with his brother and father honestly makes me tear up. it's clear that underneath Ed's macho man demeanor he truly loves and cares about Cooper. Dean is more of a puppy and I love him so much for it, his easy acceptance and willingness to wait for his brother to come to him about his sexuality is how many queer people hope people will react to them. This is also when Cooper finally believes he may have some semblance of self worth as well and starts him further down his own road of self discovery and healing.

This book is also exceedingly vital for Oliver and Cooper as a couple. Cooper finally let's down some of the walls he had since he had his heart broken by his first love. Oliver finally trusts Cooper enough to tell him about his family despite Coops many many blunders.

While not the spiciest of books, the spice that is in it are insanely hot and tender. Both men being able to open up to each other more is allowing them to become even more intimate with each other and I loved every minute of it.

Finally the mystery was good. It does have you guessing the entire time, there is twists and turns and it keeps you actively engaged from start to finish.

Even Better Than The First

These characters and their multilayered secrets, hang-ups, ways of dealing with the world and each other really ramp up in this book. It goes deeper into their backgrounds, their relationships, their possible futures. You know, IF Coop can manage to NOT run toward every danger he sees, tick off various authorities and generally rock the boat.

While his work partner Park tries to keep Coop from making waves and meets Coop’s family, confronts creeps from Coop’s past, oh, right and goes back into the closet just a bit for Coop’s sake. Safe to say that even the steady Park could end up worried sick in this wild-ride of a sequel.

“It’s complicated” doesn’t even come close to covering this duo’s dynamic.

The end is satisfying as well as being a great staging ground for book three.

Adhara was really on a roll with this one.
