Maggie James is thirty-one, freshly dumped, and emotionally scorched.
Losing her relationship also cost her the apartment and the business she built with her ex. Now she’s broke, unmoored, and answering a roommate ad from a total stranger.
A stranger who turns out to be a neurodivergent werewolf with a detailed lease agreement… and a legally binding cuddle clause.
Roman Velasquez likes quiet, structure, and his Good Plate.
He’s used to living alone—until pack politics force his hand. To avoid being mated off for supernatural convenience, Roman needs to convince his Alpha that he’s already claimed. He panics, blurts out a lie, and suddenly he and Maggie are fake-mated, cuddling after full moons, and trying very hard not to catch feelings.
It’s just a roommate agreement. Just magical paperwork. Just a fake relationship to stop a supernatural power grab.
They both know the rules.
Don’t touch the plate.
Respect the schedule.
No falling in love.
Too bad they’re already breaking all of them.

I’m a sucker for a shape-shifter romance, but it’s really hard to find one that isn’t sooooo steamy. When I saw the description for this one, it sounded like exactly what I wanted (who wouldn’t want to cuddle with a giant protective puppy?).
While I liked the idea of this story, I didn’t love it as much as I thought I would. There was some good dialogue and lots of funny moments, but there were some places that dragged for me.
I’m a fan of flip-flopping character stereotypes, but I wanted more masculinity from Roman–he felt more like a best girlfriend. It was harder to believe that he was THAT in tune with everything about Maggie (including her clothes) than to believe he was a shape-shifter.
I had hoped it might be a spice-free read, but it wasn’t (I don’t hold that against the book–I should have done more research). While not as intense as some other books, it still isn’t for all audiences. Overall, not a bad read but not for me.
Rated R for alcohol, swearing, and sex.
