About this book
Working 9-to-5 has never been this wild!
Desperate for a fresh start, Julie jumps at a chance to work for the boss of TalkToMe, the country’s fastest growing social network. The job's location, the enigmatic Monster Island, only adds to its appeal - she won’t be tempted to make another foolish mistake.
She didn’t expect her new boss to be the hottest, most tantalizing man she’s ever met - even if he does growl his orders and has an oddly arousing habit of sniffing her.
Derek might be a werewolf residing in the heart of Monster Island, but he sees himself as a businessman rather than a monster. Until his new assistant arrives, awakening all of his most primitive instincts.
He knows she’s human. He knows she’ll never stay. But the need to claim her is growing stronger every day…
Can Julie resist the primal allure of her werewolf boss, or can a beauty really love a beast?

Super steamy werewolf romance from Honey Phillips. Derek has baggage from his past that makes him not want a mate, but when Julie arrives as his new assistant, there is an instant connection. Julie feels it, too, but she also has baggage that makes her wary of a relationship with her boss. The pull is too strong & we get a HEA. The journey to get there is a fun read. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. ) One person found this helpful

I liked this story about Julie (human woman) and Derek (werewolf and owner of TalkToMe). Julie moved to Monster Island after accepting a job with TalkToMe. If I remember correctly, she was getting away from a relationship that didn't work out. They met when Julie got into the elevator at the company and Derek was already in there. There's more to that but you need to read the book to find out. Derek was an alpha who was estranged from his pack called the Moonstone Pack. His brother Adrian was...

I enjoyed the plot and characters in this story immensely, but unless the author continues stories around the Moonstone pack characters it becomes “less” to me. You are left wondering about the other major characters that contributed to the story such as Adrian (MMC’s brother), pack members John, Elise and Irene. They all had something going on in their lives, especially Adrian saying he was not likely to become mated even though he’s Alpha, why??? I really enjoy this authors work as it is...

I've been a fan of this author for years now. It was a wonderful new change from the alien romances I'm used to her writing. I wondered if I would like it being how she has such an intertwined world built for her other series. This was a nice story with a good pace and characters like always! I only wish for a little longer story but it's also one of the reasons I love Honey Phillips. Not too short but just enough to keep my ADHD brain occupied and craving more from her. Lovely, full of HEA...

A quick, cute read that doesn't require much from the reader. I definitely recommend it as a filler or reset. )
