The Wolf at Bay
Big Bad Wolf #2
by Charlie Adhara
Going home digs up bad memories, so it’s something Bureau of Special Investigations agent Cooper Dayton tries to avoid. When he’s guilted into a visit, Cooper brings along Oliver Park, his hot new werewolf partner, in the hopes the trip will help clarify their status as a couple…or not.
When Park’s keen shifter nose uncovers a body in the yard and Cooper’s father is the prime suspect, Cooper knows they’re on their own. Familial involvement means no sanctioned investigation. They’ll need to go rogue and solve the mystery quietly or risk seeing Cooper’s dad put behind bars.
The case may be cold, but Park and Cooper’s relationship heats up as they work. And yet if Cooper can’t figure out what’s going on between them outside of the bedroom, he’ll lose someone he… Well, he can’t quite put into words how he feels about Park. He knows one thing for sure: he’s not ready to say goodbye, though with the real killer inching ever closer…he may not have a choice.

Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐
Small town drama, murder, and romance with werewolves! When I picked this one up, I wasn't aware that it was book two in a series, but even though there is backstory, I had no problem figuring out who was who and where Cooper and Park were in the relationship. I will add that I was quite impressed with this one and will be reading that first book. There is drama, angst, and mystery mixed in with this romance, but there's also some great moments of levity, along with some sexy fun between Cooper and Park, to keep things from getting too heavy. Cooper's relationship fears did drive me a bit bonkers at times, to the point that I really wanted to give him a good shake and show him what was right in front of him, but this pair is good together and they're so likable that they're easy to root for. There are also plenty of twists along the way to keep things moving at a good pace. For me, this one was one of those easy reads where the pages keep turning and before you know it, chapter after chapter has flown by.
