The Werewolf's Deputy (Charmed Away Temp Agency Book 7) by Amy Padilla

Being a human working at a supernatural company is a huge eye opener for sheltered Jonah, but he's determined to be brave and embrace the experience. Luckily, a helpful werewolf becomes his supernatural guru and so what if Jonah is attracted to Emmett, and they pretend to be dating which turns into kissing and more.


From the blurb:

Jonah spent his entire life raised in a human-only community with anti-supe family members trying to brainwash him, to no success. When his father demands he get off his computer and go get a job, he knows accepting a job at a supe-run temp agency is risky, but he’s determined to experience the world and finally see what he was missing. He didn't expect his first assignment to be at the largest supe-run company in the world. Maybe he should have considered asking for a smaller assignment for his first supe experience. Werewolves don’t eat humans, right?

When Emmett notices a nervous human at Spellbound, it’s his job as a member of security to ensure he feels safe. It has nothing to do with thinking the easily startled human is adorable and smells delicious. Out of the kindness of his heart, he offers to be the human’s authority on all things supe, answering all his questions and giving Jonah a safe harbor while he learns. When the adorable human starts receiving some unwanted attention and mentions a fake relationship to give himself a buffer, Emmett is happy to play along. Fake dating should include actual dates, though. Right?

Tags: Jonah has no experience with supes, Emmett is the Supe Guru Extraordinaire, texting is their love language, getting hit on by supes is a little much for Jonah, Emmett volunteers as tribute, dates include kisses, and maybe some other stuff, Taron decides to adopt Jonah, Jonah thinks he’s joking, who’s going to tell him?, Emmett gets growly, Jonah finds out what it’s like to be claimed by a werewolf, guaranteed HEA.


SNik's review:

Seventh in series (Charmed Away temp Agency), best if read in order. Paranormal. Fake dating. Fated mates. Hurt/comfort. Found family. Slow burn. Dual POV. 

Sheltered from supernaturals, Jonah still knows better than to treat others badly, and he’s trying to open his experiences when he works for a supernatural temp agency. Emmett sees that Jonah is overwhelmed by all the new species he’s meeting and decides to help, and offering to be his fake boyfriend is not a hardship. 

I really enjoy the strong found family that this series brings to every story, there are so many supportive characters that help the main relationship along the way. Sure, Jonah’s family is awful, but luckily he becomes adopted by a shapeshifter, friends with fairies and werewolves, and attracted to a cinnamon roll security werewolf that can’t help wagging his tail around Jonah. Both Emmett and Jonah are sweet and loyal and caring, so they are perfectly matched and couldn’t be cuter together. There’s some steam, some comfort and some romance with the strong community that this series has created.
