I really enjoyed this new shifter series by Tia Fielding. There are several aspects to it - boss/employee, shifters, fated mates, hurt/comfort - all of which make up a story full of emotion, a slow building relationship between alpha, Ren, and human, Arie, and as well as dealing with mental health/PTSD.
Arie has crushed on Ren since he started as receptionist/all round assistant at RGB Security but he is under the impression that Ren isn't interested however, that couldn't be further from the truth. Ren has been keeping a rather large secret from Arie but there is a major incident on his last job and Arie is the one he turns to when he offers support. It's a slow process as Arie gives him space to recover and process, while both men also grow physically and emotionally closer.
Arie is so great in how he takes charge of Ren's care, showing everyone how important he is to him, and the whole team is behind him in wanting to get Ren better. Ren is happy to be under Arie's care but also feels inadequate as he's the alpha and should be taking care of Arie. The bond that grows between them strengthens and becomes an important factor as Ren isn't the only one who gets into trouble. I also found the daddy aspect interesting as Ren wasn't aware of that or how to be one for Arie which made for an fun conversation with his friend.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series. The other members of the team are very entertaining and have a lot to offer.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.
