An interesting and unique twist on paranormal creatures we've seen before in a new and exciting way!
From the blurb:
Dakota Morris has decided it’s time he lost that pesky virginity.
He’s a college graduate, and he’s tired of being a virgin. So he goes out to a club his friends don’t frequent, and picks up the hottest man he’s ever seen. It’s truly a night to remember . . . until he walks into the boardroom for his new job the next morning and wishes he could forget it, because his hot pick-up is also his new boss and CEO, Ajax Fyse.
The fact that he unknowingly slept with his newest employee is the least of Jax’s problems right now. Not only is he trying to navigate a merger with a mage family who disdains werewolves as beasts, it turns out the mage he took home last night didn’t even believe magic existed till this morning.
This morning, when his magic abilities manifested.
Now, Dakota’s stapler is flying across the room, and Jax has landed himself in the position of ushering his gorgeous new hire into the realm of magic. If only sleeping with a werewolf wouldn’t ruin Dakota’s reputation among other mages . . .
Angel's review:
When I read the blurb for this book I immediately wanted more, the premise just sounded really interesting to me. I mean, a mage not knowing he's a mage? Or that he exists in a world full of paranormal creatures? That's a really exciting concept! And I have to say, this dynamic duo did an excellent job with writing this story, and these characters.
From the very beginning I was pulled in to Dakota's world, and was able to learn more about him and his life. He's 22, a college graduate, about to start a high paying new job, and he's determined to lose his pesky V-Card. Little does he know that unforgettable night is going to change everything. The aspect of Dakota having no idea the paranormal world exists yet is somehow drawn to it was written in an intriguing way. It never felt fake or dubious, he genuinely had no idea what he was, or what the people around him are. Yet, somehow, he was being drawn to areas where other paranormals are, the bar and his job being main ones. I liked how that was handled.
As for Jax.. I know he's a wolf but I'm inclined to call him a teddy bear. He's the Alpha of his pack and as such he's determined to provide the best he can for his pack members. He needs to keep them safe, and if that means he can't have a mate, so be it. Until Dakota walks into a Wolf bar and sweeps him off his feet. With Dakota being in his life we get to see a different side of the gruff Wolf. He cares deeply for those around him, and even though him and Dakota just met, he tries his best to take care of the new mage as well. Which is super sweet.
Now as far as pacing goes... I loved how this story had a seamless flow to it. Even when more information kept coming to light, and when other characters interfered, the story still just flowed flawlessly! I liked how things didn't happen too fast, (yes, they slept together early on but it took them time to build it after that.) and I also appreciate how certain events weren't too drawn out either. It was just a well written story that I'm very sad is over. I want more of Jax and Dakota! I have to say, when Dakota changed and found out he was both a mage and a wolf, that moment was written in such an incredible way. There was a lightness to it while still continuing the seriousness of the moments leading up to that happening. Really well done!
