When Alpha Ops team leader Tuck’s last mission goes terribly wrong, he and his team are put on hiatus until they can get their proverbial stuff together. His guys are starting to get restless, and a bear shifter, a couple of predatory birds, and a fox can be pretty impatient when they’re bored. When their benefactor decides a new team member will be their salvation, Tuck has no choice but to accept.

Jayden isn’t interested in working with a team who really wants nothing more than to kick his butt. As a cougar shifter, he’s perfectly happy to work alone. So why does Tuck make him want to stay? The two of them have to find a way to work out their issues, or the team may never get another job. Good thing they have enough attraction to keep them going, even when everything else is going off the tracks.

After losing his brother in their last mission, Tuck and his team of shifters have been unwillingly put on a leave of absence and tension is running high in them all. When Tuck discovers that he’s been given a new team-member and things begin to go balls up from the very beginning he and Jayden are going to have to learn very quickly to trust each other. Can they each survive what lies ahead?

I found this to be a really fresh and interesting story. With a small group of complicated and unique shifter characters making up the team and all of them having big personalities I found this story engrossing almost from the very beginning. With far more action and intrigue than I’m used to in my erotic romance stories I also deeply appreciated the complicated plot and was eagerly turning the pages way past my bed-time wanting to know what happened next. The classic “just a few more pages” turned into a very early morning because I simply couldn’t put it down.

The sex between Tuck and Jayden was hot and steamy – but I really loved the build up and chemistry/tension between them that happened before they hit the sheets. While the whole “hearing each other’s thoughts” thing seemed fairly straightforward and obvious to me, I understood pretty quickly that it wasn’t common – indeed was thought of as a bit of a joke/legend – in the paranormal world within this story. So that helped me understand why Tuck and Jayden were so puzzled.

With steamy chemistry, quite a bit of action and adventure and a whole group of new and interesting characters I am definitely looking forward to more stories in this series. I can’t recall the last time I stayed up well into the early morning with a book, and this is definitely one I will be re-reading in the near future. Action, sexy shenanigans and loads of fun characters, this was a great short story and I am eager for more.
