Kian can't hide his fae blood, but he's a helper and when his new boss needs a blood donation he steps in with no hesitation. But now Dorian craves Kian's blood, and they aren't sure what is going on, so sticking close is the only solution and they find being near each other brings a slow build to love neither expected.
From The Vampire's Receptionist blurb:
Kian was born between two worlds. Half fae, half green witch, accepted by neither. He was used to being an outcast. A big believer in fate, when he’s offered a reference to work at a temp agency, he takes it without hesitation. And find a job he absolutely loves. Who’d have thought being a temp would be so fun? His newest contract takes him to Spellbound, where he notices his new boss struggling to function. Old EMT habits kick in, and he offers his assistance with a blood donation. He’s done it a dozen times. Nothing could go wrong. Right?
Dorian thought transferring to the medical innovations division would be an interesting challenge. He’d forgotten just how exhausting it was to get an entire division on track. Too busy to worry about self-care, he waits a little too long between feedings and just barely stops himself from attacking a temp. When said temp offers him a blood donation, he can’t very well refuse. It was only supposed to be one time. Surely that would be okay. Right?

SNik's review:
Fourth in series (Charmed Away Temp Agency), can be read as a standalone but might be more fun if read in order. Paranormal. Boss/temp employee. Found family. Slow burn. Dual POV.
New to the Charmed Away Temp Agency, Kian is enjoying the different work and increased responsibilities as he’s put in charge of a large group of temps working for Spellbound Corp. Meeting his new boss when the vampire is overworked and underfed is not an ideal start, but Kian offers up an emergency donation to Dorian and ends up with more than he bargained for when they have to continue the feedings.
Both Dorian and Kian are long lived supernaturals, with Kian bringing a lot of baggage from his past and Dorian slowly trying to melt Kian’s walls. It was sweet to read about each man wanting to be protective of the other while slowly falling into a relationship with someone that, unbeknownst to either of them, might be their mate. Luckily they are surrounded by supportive secondary characters (most familiar from the series), and their attraction is undeniable, so easing into an HEA becomes possible.
