Summary

Two wolf shifters agree to be fake mates but unexpectedly find something real in this steamy paranormal romantic comedy by Lana Ferguson, perfect for fans of Rosie Danan

Fake mate . . . or perfect date?

Mackenzie hasn't had a successful date in months. She's only a year out of residency, and her grandmother's obsession with finding the perfect mate threatens to drive her barking mad, so it should be a small thing when she lies about meeting someone . . . until she blurts out the name of the last man she would ever date: Noah 'The Big Bad Wolf of Denver General' Taylor.

Noah, interventional cardiologist and all-round grump, has spent his entire life hiding what he is - an unmated alpha. But when an anonymous tip brings everything to light, he's left with two choices: come clean to the board and risk his career or find himself a mate. So, when the chatty, overly friendly ER doctor asks him to be her fake boyfriend the same day he's called to meet the board, it must be kismet, right?

Mackenzie gets her grandmother off her back, and Noah gets the chance to prove he can continue to work without a real mate - it's a mutually beneficial business transaction. But when the fake-mate act turns to a very real friends-with-benefits arrangement, lines start to blur, and they quickly realise love is a whole different kind of animal.

Lovely story from different points of view

I liked the story and that it was told from both MCs point of view. Nice that they were both doctors, and that the medical stuff was on point. Good narration. The sex parts could maybe have been cut down a bit, got a bit same same, but they were well read. Perfect listening if you just want to relax.

fun and hot

this was such a fun and spicy read! Love the omegaverse a lot. Everyone deserves a hot, grumoy, possessive alpha in their life. Narrators did a good job!

Spicy and sweet

This omega verse style story may not have been ground breaking in terms of plot, but if you’re looking for a sweet, funny and incredibly spicy shirt read, this is it! Joe and Samantha’s performances are incredible.

just what I needed...

this book made me smile a lot, they appear to be made for each other, don't we all want that kind of happiness? there were times I could have banged their heads together, but, they got there in the end.

Female narrator shouts

I’m halfway through chapter 4, story sounds really promising but the female narrator is shouting and being very shrill the whole time.
It’s really jarring, so it’s making it hard to listen to.

Male narrator is great so far.
