About this book
What do you do when a cocky alpha werewolf picks you to be his mate?
Sebastian's first instinct is to run for the hills. His second is to wish that Viggo had asked him on a date like a normal person. He would have said yes in a heartbeat.
But this is what he signed up for. He took the cash from the werewolf mating program, knowing that he was risking his freedom, and now the consequences of that decision have come back to bite him in the ass.
Literally.
He's surprised by how much he likes it.
Viggo is the very pinnacle of a werewolf alpha—tall, in-charge, and built like a Greek god—and the way he touches Sebastian makes him feel like he's going to combust.
The way he tells him that Sebastian is the one he's been waiting for makes his heart flutter and his stomach clench tight.
There's just one problem. Viggo comes as part of a package deal, and his other half is a feral alpha named Bjorn who likes to chase bunnies, cuddle, and strut around looking like Tarzan's scary best friend.
Viggo claims that together he and Sebastian can fix Bjorn—that they can soothe his wolf and put his human half back in the driver's seat—but Sebastian is far from sure he's up to the task. He wouldn't even know where to begin.
He decides to try anyway.
After all, how hard could it be to tame a werewolf?
This MMM paranormal romance features an in-charge alpha, his cuddly six-foot-nine mountain of a mate, and an adorable second-grade teacher who may or may not be the solution to all their problems. It has a HEA and no cliffhanger.

While i haven't read all of D.J. Heart's books (yet), this was one of my faves. Relationship building was great and sex scenes were hot as usual. As a horror fan also, I really enjoyed getting to see the werewolves actually be werewolves and cause some damage. Violence wasn't overly graphic, but it was there to help resolve the story. Some of the reviewers are saying that these werewolves are nicer to their new pack mate than in other books by D.J., but I think that was purposeful in order to...

I know that you maybe thinking that I must be mistaken because this is a DJ Heart story, but I am not. This story was really sweet. Sebastian basically so!d himself to pay for his mother's health care to a werewolf matchmaking service. The good news was that mom got better but the bad news - Viggo takes one sniff and chooses him. When Sebastian gets to Viggo's house, he finds out that there is a husband, Bjorn who is feral. Unlike most of the other stories in the werewolves world, this one had...

I was not sold on this when I started reading it but hot damn did it pull you in quickly. D.J. Heart crushes at world building along with some added spice and steam. I almost walked away from this book a couple times because it felt like the ML was being emotionally neglected during certain meaningful moments throughout the book, however, desperate moments breeds desperate actions. The characters grew and righted wrongs along the way while trying to ensure no person was pushed too far...

As a long time fan, I was relieved to discover that Heart hasn’t stopped writing. His work is my guilty pleasure. Yeah, he can get a little dark, which is perhaps why I enjoyed this as much as I did; its like a much needed palate cleanser. If you’ve read his other books, this one will surprise you. It was enjoyable but not my favorite. Romance is hard to get right. Heart does lust very well. This is a good effort but as a romance it falls flat. Spoiler alerts: These two are hands down the...

I really enjoyed the characters and relationship building. The mystery twist added a nice layer to the story and characters too. Loved the sex scenes and stress on responsible BDSM play. )
