Impulsive Connections by Marie Reynard.
This is the second book of the Elemental Bonds series. (You need and want to read it in order.)
Kade is a playboy shifter wolf who is secretly a romantic at heart. But he feels off his game after being attacked by one of the evil spirits that haunt his pack's territory.
Liam is the biggest nerd. He brought research for downtime during research. He's only in Lost Creek to help his friend save the Mills pack from the unknown evil infesting their land, but everything changes when he and Kade are paired up to capture the supernatural threat.
Tropes: slow burn, reluctant mates, unintended bonds, forced proximity, unfortunate bed shortages, and knotting (no Mpreg).
I was very happy to return to this pack of shifters. Funny, snarky and loving.
I love the characters, all of them, not just the mains. Including the cat.
And the unimpressed kid when he sees a mage with glowing tattoos transform a lima bean into a tiny sprouted plant with earth magic at the dinner table:
“You make more vegetables?” with a look of pure horror on his face.
These kinds of interactions are typical. Marie Reynard packs her books full of funny details. Like someone is reading a book about sweater shifters(?!!) with a tagline: "Usually, she wears him. Tonight, he wears her." 💀
I am mad at Marie for two things.
1. Cockblocking with itchy eyeballs.
2. That cliffhanger. Ugh. If she didn't write so well and addictive, I wouldn't be in this pickle. (I am dealing with that by rereading book 1, which is amazing too.)
I need the next book now!
Just 1 warning, this book contains a whole lot of dick jokes. Like a lot.
