Gumption & Gumshoes

August, thanks to an inheritance from his grandfather, is a fairly new detective owning his own business and working his first big case. Sam is his divorced older, grumpier landlord. These two are attracted to each other but neither one of them wants to make the first move. August is self-conscious about his weight and Sam is feeling tired and a bit bitter about looking for love again after his marriage tanked.
Throw in the fact that August is the most adorable chinchilla shifter in the world and this story was quite the ride. Great dialogue and a simple but sweet story about these two men falling hard for each other when they finally decide to it's okay to fall.
I loved the relationship that develops and I really enjoyed the chinchilla herd information that was revealed. I love different and unique shifter types so I was favouring this one from the get go and delighted that it lived up to my expectations. This was a buddy read with Mandy and we both really enjoyed the book so if you're looking for a bit of mystery with a cute shifter and protective, sexy older man look no further, this is a winner!

I am amazed at your restraint! :)
I finished Junk and loved it, and I have a horrible day tomorrow, so I'm hoping this one will be a cheery fun read. I mean really, a chinchilla shifter? How can that NOT be fun ?
I just read your Junk review. I've been waiting for that one so I'm glad you liked it! And yes, adorable chinchilla shifter, can't wait. :D :D
Junk was a breath of fresh air with the subject matter, and I do like Jo's books.
Can't wait for the chinchilla. :)
Maybe I can sneak in a short tomorrow, maybe...
I didn't get very far, my life, my kids, my headache stopped me soyoubhabe probably already overtaken me. :)
But what I have read I really like.
How about you?
All of a sudden it sort of flew by. I was shocked and sad it ended, I wasn't ready. :)
Oh yeah. And at the end he gets a gift.... so dang cute.
Yay. It is a great story. I've been pimping it out left right and center.
I would adore more of them.
