Thomas Bright never would have dropped his glamour if he’d known he’d be going into heat. The one night he decides to cut loose at the decadent BDSM club, the Wild Hunt, just happens to be the one night he meets his mate.

Now The Stag, Kern, is on the prowl — but he wants more than a one night stand with his perfect Faunus. If he can only convince his little mate to take a chance on him, and still protect his not-so-innocent lover from those who would do him ill for the magic contained in his body…

Who would have thought that going to a nightclub could completely change your life? Thomas certainly never imagined that but change it did.

This is the first book in a series so you get the introduction but not much of the nitty-gritty of our main characters’ histories. You do find out why Thomas is skittish at the thought of being with Kern but that’s about it. There is an amazing cast of supporting characters that I can’t wait to find out more about – whether through the continuation of Thomas and Kern’s story or their own.

The set up for the world isn’t exactly clear but I’m thinking it’s contemporary with a dash of fantasy. In other words, supernaturals are amongst us, we just don’t have a clue. I love the history about Manx and their protection but still, I want to know more.

This novella does end on a cliffhanger so consider yourself warned. Personally, all it’s done for me is make me want the second book immediately. I thought the ending was brilliant and perfectly fitting for this portion of the story.

If you don’t like cliffhangers, then it may be best if you wait for them all because, trust me, this is a fantastic book. Highly recommended by me.
