Moonlit Nights & Northern Lights (The Killigrew Street Case Files Book 2) by TJ Rose


MOONLIT NIGHTS & NORTHERN LIGHTS is the continuation of the Killigrew Street Case Files. Each story is a different couple with a continued overall plot throughout. A real adventure with two men that find their perfect match may be unexpected and wonderful.


From the blurb:

How to survive fake dating your telepathic arch nemesis during an undercover mission in Scotland:


1. Don't think horrible thoughts about him in case he's listening in. The creep.

2. Ensure Freddy the zombie ferret doesn't bite him. Much.

3. Try not to call him Detective Dickface (unless he really deserves it).

4. Don't let him find out you're catching feelings for him.

Rory

Imagine my surprise when my missing ex-boyfriend's phone pings back to life in the one place I swore I'd never set foot in again: home. Home to the pack I left years ago, where I’d learned I’d never be enough.
I'm probably mad for agreeing to go—after all, the pack gathering I've been invited to is definitely a trap—but even more crazily, I'm being sent with a man who hates my guts. The detective who threw me into a cell during a full moon, condemning me to an agony that I still have nightmares over.
It doesn’t help that he's hotter than hell. Thankfully, he's straight, otherwise the way he looks at me sometimes might put ideas in my head… If I were ever able to forgive him, of course.

Theodore

He's loud. He's infuriating. He thinks it's okay to insult me to my face.
So why have I agreed to partner up with Rory Thorne to investigate missing shifters?
And even worse, why have I agreed to pretend to be his boyfriend?!
Being a telepath means I've always kept the world at arm's length. I don't have time for tiny wolves with chaotic energy and ridiculous hair and eyes that taunt me with their enigmatic colour—an ocean-forest riddle that distracts me more than I care to admit.
Can the two of us pull off our undercover mission? Possibly, if we don't kill each other first...
Or, even worse, kiss.

Contains: a bi-awakening in a moonlit forest, only one bed because the hotel clerk ships them, a zombie ferret that likes to get bitey, wolf cuddles, “let’s get this out of our system,” and a rather mysterious zapping thing…

Moonlit Nights and Northern Lights is the second in the Killigrew Street Case Files series, a collection of MM PNRs centered around a found family of supernatural detectives. Each can be read as a standalone, but start from book one for maximum enjoyment.


Molly Otto's review:

From the previous book you knew you were in for a ride with Rory and Theodore but I was not prepared for this one. The tension is palpable you feel the anxiety on both sides of what they've been through to be the men they are now. To the breaking point of seeing both sides of their story, the calmness of them needing each other yet still the choas gremlins that is Rory even with the steadiness of Theodore to calm him mind. The banter of this story is truly top tier some of the best I've read in a long time. Loved the banter continued even when they started to allow each other in, showing that is their love language. Some couples are sweet some are pure snarky banter. Yet they work for each other and make each other better for it.

The continued plot keeps on plotting pulling you deeper into this universe. I cannot wait to see what happens next and who ends up being with who.


SNik's review:

Second in series (The Killigrew Street Case Files), best if read in order. Paranormal. Adversarial to lovers. Fake relationship. Only one bed. Mates. Found family. Hurt/comfort. Slow burn. Dual POV. Heed content warnings. 

DI Theodore Maxwell may help out the Killigrew Street team with supernatural investigations but that doesn’t mean wolf shifter Rory has to like him. But now they are looking for a missing shifter and Rory has to return to his former pack to investigate with Theo acting as his fake boyfriend, boy are they in trouble. 

There was so much to love about this story, from the clashing main characters, to the supportive found family, to the increasing mystery and danger of the story’s investigation. I really enjoyed how Rory and Theo’s relationship went from tolerating each other to understanding and appreciation to liking and then love. With Rory’s insecurities and Theo’s compassion, every moment with them on page together was terrific and eventually super steamy. And the fact that the investigation ramped up into something that was intense and urgent had me turning the pages and holding my breath at times. Such a great addition to this series, and I can’t wait for more.
