 Description from goodreads :

  He's a good griffin, with a bad temper...
Detective Damian Charming yearns to sweep a certain feisty lynx shifter off her feet. Every time he tries to talk to her, however, he sticks his foot in his mouth. He doesn't mean to sound condescending. Life would be easier if Lucy admitted he knows best, especially now that someone in town has threatened her. He's a good griffin (mostly) until someone messes with what is his.

She's an unlucky lynx with no time for trouble...
Lucy May hates Stillwater detective Damian Charming. Sure, he helped her with a horrible situation and has looks to rival the gods, but he also views lynx shifters as inferior supernatural beings. When someone targets the business she worked hard to create, though, Lucy turns to the one man she knows will mercilessly unearth the culprit.

It's more than just hex appeal...
When a hex sends the town in a storm of sexual shenanigans in the middle of the investigation, Lucy realizes just how bad she has it for the griffin. Now she needs to convince Damian her feelings are true and reel him in before his need for vengeance destroys the entire town.


The books in That Old Black Magic world and Heart's Desired Mate Series can be read as stand-alone stories and in any order

My opinion:

          I loved this romance a lot first it includes shifters but not the usual ones here we have griffin and lynx and it was my first book with a griffin shifter so i was very curious....as for big cats ( there are others than lynx) they are simply too funny in general.

In this case our heroes are in a big misunderstanding, they love each other already but each one think the other feels only hate ....so it's funny to see their banter while they are the only ones blind to their feelings. Damian is very protective of Lucy but isn't talented in communication as a big alpha he tends to order too much. However when some shops and Lucy's get vandalized  our griffin goes on mission to protect her even if it means not following the rules.

Lucy is loyal, kind and her animal part is really funny as a lynx she is a good hunter but thinks that Damian sees her as  under his standard. While she is one of the very few knowing what kind of shifter he really is. Griffin are believed to be legend.

The story is really good with action, twists, humour and lot of romance ; it can be read as standalone without trouble even if i admit i would be happy to discover more about this universe where shifters have magic and where warlocks wander around.

The investigation was interesting, even if we don't get all the answers but i'm hoping  in the future we will get more info.

I do recommend this story if you want a fast but very good and original paranormal romance.

Score:  4/5
