Dangerous Mating by Milly Taiden – a Review
Description:
An undercover mission exposes hidden longings in the irresistible paranormal romance series from the New York Times bestselling author of Mating Needs.
The Alpha League Federal Agency’s sworn duty is to protect humanity from the worst of the paranormal universe. Wolf-shifter Agent Bryon Day has been deep undercover for more than a year, investigating a human trafficking ring, when he goes MIA. Since A.L.FA. never leaves an agent behind, a team is sent to save him—or bring his body home.
FBI agent and ace cryptographer Kari Tomlin is selected for the rescue task force. Under the ruse of a ditsy tourist, she searches an ancient European city for Agent Day. When she learns he’s locked up in the palace’s dungeon, she plans a covert jailbreak. Together they risk the dangerous, booby-trapped tunnels below the city for freedom…and a chance to discover if this really is a mate bond growing between them.
Review:
Dangerous Mating by Milly Taiden is the 3rd book in her A.L.F.A. series. Though each book revolves around an A.L.F.A. agent and finding his mate, these do read very well as standalones.
Kari Tomlin, our heroine, is an FBI agent, specializing in breaking codes (cryptographer) and when she is asked to join an undercover assignment for A.L.F.A, she is thrilled. Supposedly this is an easy assignment, pretending to be a tourist and girlfriend of an agent, when they go to a small country in Europe to try and find a missing agent. Kari is bored, and this is a chance to travel have some fun. Of course, this is going to be everything but fun.
Bryon Day, a wolf shifter agent and our hero, is presently a prisoner being tortured, because the Prince of the country thinks he is a shifter, something Bryon is trying to hide. After another torturous session, he opens his eyes to see and smell something beautiful….his mate. Bryon sees Kari and tries to understand what she is doing in the dungeon of the castle. Seems while doing tourist activity, Kari stumbles on the castle trying to find a bathroom (yeah it is funny), and instead lands in the mansion with the evil Prince and Bryon. What follows is an exciting adventure, where Kari will help Bryon escape through the maze of the hidden tunnels in the castle. Every step of the way the find themselves in dangerous and death defying situations, as they help each other, the mate bonding between them gets stronger and hotter. In all Milly Taiden stories, you come to expect things to get wild and crazy, as well as being very steamy; this is no different in Dangerous Mating. I did think some of things Kari got into were a bit farfetched, but in those tense moments, the silly fun was a release.
Dangerous Mating was an exciting, fun, action packed story line, with Taiden’s trade mark humor throughout. Kari and Bryon did make a great couple. If you enjoy paranormal romances, with humor and suspense, as well as a hot sexy read, then you should be reading this series.
