Joshua Devine is the third son of the Alpha of Asphalt Bay. He's a bit of a loner and an outcast in his father's eyes. He wants to gain his father's approval but he isn't sure that will ever happen. So, he looks for approval elsewhere by searching for his fated mate. But, Josh has his work cut out for him since his sense of smell isn't what it should be... Kira McAlister is a vampire musician. He travels from country to country playing in paranormal clubs and bars with his rock band. After centuries of doing the same thing he's ready to find his beloved and settle in one place. No more groupies and a local crowd are all he's looking for so when his band lands in Asphalt Bay he decides it's the perfect spot. Will Josh find the approval he's looking for? Will Kira be able to convince Josh that they're mates? Or will it just end in tragedy? ( Contains graphic sexual content and explicit language. Not recommended for those under the age of 18.) This book is part of an interconnecting series with a villain plot that spans multiple books! It was written with the intention that the books would be read in a certain order. If you start from this one, you’ll be confused! Below is the correct reading order. 1. An Alpha for the Demigod (Asphalt Bay One) 2. The Enforcer’s Secret Vampire (Asphalt Bay Two) 3. The Beta’s Poison Bite (Asphalt Bay Three) 4. Taming the Feral Tiger (Asphalt Bay Four) 5. The Alpha’s Master (Venetian Hills One) 6. The Second’s Cursed Mate (Venetian Hills Two) 7. The Doctor’s Demon Prince (Asphalt Bay Five) 8. The Leopard’s Twin Troubles (Asphalt Bay Six) 9. The Beta’s Second Chance (Venetian Hills Three) 10. The Panther’s Favorite Bully (Venetian Hills Four) 11. The Warlock’s Beautiful Bird (Asphalt Bay Seven) 12. The Demon’s Gruff Councilman (Asphalt Bay Eight) *more to come*
I loved this book. It has been a great series so far. That said I was not sure how I felt about the fact that this book takes place in the same timeline as the first one but is almost separate from it because apparently the two brothers that each book is about do not cross paths much. This book starts its storyline right after Declan agrees not mate with their rival clans daughter. It then follows along about the same timeline which means that both brothers meet their fated mate at the same time. I have never read a story that worked this way. It was not a bad thing it just felt different. That said I still loved it and plan to reread it before the next one in the series comes out.
I enjoyed this one so much better than the first. I did find it a bit weird that Declan and Josh's father felt like a completely different character in this book than in the last one.
Another 3.5 star review. Really wish the author did some more editing, but the story was still fun. Already bought the next in the series. (Think I'm addicted.)

This is a sad story in that our wolf has damaged sense of smell and can't scent his fated mate. He also has a very unfeeling father who gives him worse pack jobs and no praise. Our wolf needs a roommate and gets a vampire and an unrecognized fated mate. Complications arise, our characters get together and the wolf tells his dad off but all gets resolved and we get our HEA. A fun read.
Wolf who can not smell his mate and vampire who does know that they are mates . Josh fantasize about his new roommate but because of his inability to smell he doesn't know that he is his mate until it is almost to late .
