Brie’s never been particularly coordinated…or lucky. Who else would accidentally throw a drink at someone’s head only to miss entirely and hit a stranger behind them? And who else would have that stranger fall madly in love with them because it turns out that the drink she threw was a love potion? Yeah, probably just Brie.…
 
Running her cheese business and dealing with a pirate ship full of demons that just moved into town was hard enough. Now on top of it, she has to convince a werewolf that she’s not really his fated mate. Though even she’s got to admit…having a gorgeous man show up and do all her chores while telling her she’s beautiful isn’t the worst thing to happen to a girl.

The second book in this series and I was so hoping to get Felix’s story after meeting him. Thankfully that’s the story we get. Brie and the werewolf Felix become mates, but have to navigate the mystery of disappearing women. Once again, we get a blend of romance and adventure. Both of those things don’t kick into high gear until the last third of the book, but it’s a short volume overall. I was okay with the pace as we get to know the characters before the action really starts. I loved the mystery of this one and how it pushes forward the world narrative. Mostly definitely I will be picking up the third book. I might also try to get the two novellas/short stories.
