David’s Dilemma
(Panthera Agency 04)
by
Rae Brewer
It’s been three years since David broke up with Michael. He’s ready to find his mate. Only the only man he’s attracted to at all is a hookup from a bar. After hours of passion they separate and David only discovers the next morning the man was his mate. Where can he find him again? And what is his name?
Excerpt:
David woke late Sunday afternoon with a headache, which didn’t seem fair because he hadn’t drunk very much the night before. Damn head cold! He still remembered every minute of the night before. Part of him wished he’d broken his own rule and let the handsome hunk stay over. He got what he wanted, he would have blown me off when he saw me in the light of day. Getting out of bed he stumbled to the bathroom sneezing. He decided to take a hot shower, the steam would clear up his sinuses, for a while. He wanted a clear head so he could convince himself it was time to settle down and find a forever love. No more casual sex!
Setting the temp as hot as he could stand, he stepped into the oversized stall. The room quickly filled with steam and his nose started running. He gave a fleeting thought to the scents he was washing down the drain before he remembered his sheets. His cougar wasn’t very happy with him for kicking HH, the handsome hunk, out of their bed and was pouting by being silent. Of course his cougar was generally subdued when he was showering.
After twenty minutes in the steam his muscles were loose and he could breathe again, for now. Stepping out of the shower onto the bathmat he grabbed a clean towel off the shelf and after a quick rub down, wrapped it around his waist. Taking a look in the mirror he decided to take some cold medicine and spend the day being lazy. He was already envisioning a long afternoon on the couch snuggled in a blanket with a pitcher of lemon water and some chicken soup within easy reach. I’m wallowing, because I already miss him.
First though, he needed to strip the bed and put the sheets in the wash. Later, he knew he’d want cool fresh sheets to sleep in. And right now he was as awake, alert, and as energetic as he was going to be for the rest of the day. Walking through the door to the bedroom the scents from his sheets hit him all at once. His inner cat roared and David was so surprised he didn’t stop the shift.
Leaping onto the bed in his puma form, he rolled around in the sheets before sneezing. Sitting up in the bed he had a sheet wrapped around him, the end flopping over his head. He could see his reflection in the mirror on the opposite wall. Big tough cat, not! Mate! We found our mate!
Shifting back into his human form allowed him to say what he was thinking. “Shit! Shit, shit, shit!” Untangling himself from the bedding he began to pace around the room. I don’t even know his name!

Review: This is book five in this series and they should be read in order. Each story has some of the characters in prior books and tells you about their story. The way they live their lives, the reason they do some of the things they do and what makes them the way they are. It is an amazing world that you will find yourself lost in. A world that will draw you in and have you falling in love. The characters are full heat and desire. I love the way they are told. It has such a serious tone but there is the hint of humor in it.
It sounds like a joke the way it starts off but it could not be further from the truth. Two shifters walk into a bar and neither one can tell that they are mates. David can’t smell a thing due to a head cold, that is until the next morning after sending the sexy man away the night before. He smells his mate on the sheets of his bed. Talk about a rough morning. Here he is with a head cold, a mate he can’t believe he let go, a crazy ex that seems to have an agenda and a quirky neighbor. A neighbor that might have saved his mating.
Johnny is a bear shifter with some pretty awesome gifts. He can find people and missing items. However after getting totally wasted he goes home with his mate, not realizing that this man is his mate. David had made him leave after sex but he knew he was going back to see him. What he comes up against was an ex-boyfriend, although he didn’t know he was an ex. If it wasn’t for David’s neighbor letting him know that David didn’t have any one living with him he would have gone crazy. It doesn’t take him long to realize that David is his mate and that they work for the same company. They both work for Panthera Detective agency. Although Johnny is also an author.
David was a puma shifter who had been kicked out by his family when he came out to them, he had been on his own pretty much. Johnny was the exact opposite, to the point that he still lived with his family. He was a bear shifter that was loved by his entire family, and he knew in his heart that he would have to show his mate that he would be loved by all. What they had not expected was the danger that surrounded them. They would have to protect each other and those around them.
This is an amazing story. I absolutely loved it and cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. The only problem that I had, and to me it was not a major problem was it seemed to be told a little slower than most, but that only meant that there was suspense. You couldn’t wait to see what happened next. It has sexy shifters, passionate sex, tender hearts, excitement, adventure and a touch of danger. It gave me that and so much more.
