When you can't grin and bear it...
Paranormal Psychologist, Matilda Schmidt is sick of secrets. But when her
troubled mother falls into dangerous hands, she must enlist the help of the two
men who may be hiding the most: the hot-bodied demigod who's suddenly
tight-lipped about his current client, and the delicious hit man who's been
concealing much more than a gun in his pocket.
Faced with the destruction of her tidy life at the paws of three rowdy
werebears, and protected only by an immortal egg on the edge, Matilda will have
to come riding to her own rescue, or risk a life that's anything but happily
ever after.

EXCERPT:
“What
are you wearing?” Crixus’s voice was clear and unsullied by sleep—a direct
contrast to my own, which hovered right at the edge of ‘do not operate heavy
machinery.’ He had answered on the second ring, a good sign he wasn’t plowing
Goldilocks like a spring field, or so I told myself.
“My raincoat and galoshes. But I’m
taking them off as we speak.” My cell phone, thankfully, like the bed I settled
onto cross-legged—had remained mostly dry.
“Anything under the raincoat?”
“Save it,” I said. “I need your
magic.”
“Now you’re talking.” The smile in
his voice was as radiant as the sun reaching gilded fingers into the gray dawn.
“Not that kind of magic. So far
tonight, my apartment has been home to three bears, eight firemen, and one
immortal egg. I’m in no mood.” Twice now, I had depended upon Crixus to undo
the damage wrought upon my apartment and office by his retinue of squirrely
supernatural guests. It was the one power the demigod possessed I wouldn’t mind
stealing for myself.
That,
and the spontaneous orgasms.
“And you didn’t invite me?”
“Since when did you need an
invitation?” Crixus’s propensity to pop into my life at his leisure had been a
contention of mine since we first met. My office, my car, even my bedroom, he
invaded with the carefree indifference of a child hopping rides at the
amusement park. And still, he managed to be frequently unavailable when I
needed him.
“If I could be there, I would.” His
voice lacked its usual cocktail of arrogance and caprice. He almost sounded earnest.
Cynthia
St. Aubin wrote her first play at age eight and made her brothers perform it
for the admission price of gum wrappers. A steal, considering she provided the
wrappers in advance. Though her early work debuted to mixed reviews, she never
quite gave up on the writing thing, even while earning a mostly useless
master's degree in art history and taking her turn as a cube monkey in the
corporate warren.
Because
the voices in her head kept talking to her, and they discourage drinking at
work, she started writing instead. When she's not standing in front of the
fridge eating cheese, she's hard at work figuring out which mythological, art
historical, or paranormal friends to play with next. She lives in Colorado with
the love of her life and three surly cats.

My Review:
This is the fourth book in this series and I loved it just as much as the others. In this book Matilda's mother has been taken by the person blackmailing her. Crixus and Liam are doing what they can to help find her but they haven't come up with anything yet. They still don't know who is blackmailing her or who has her mother. Matilda's relationship with both Crixus and Liam is confusing. She is still attracted to both of them but is frustrated and annoyed with both of them at the same time. It's hard to believe they both dropped into her life just a couple months ago. In this book she is introduced to yet more of the supernatural world. This time the three bears are after her. Crixus leaves humpty dumpty with her for protection and you won't believe the story behind him. Matilda is having a bit of a jealousy issue with Crixus at the moment cause she believes he is off boning Goldy Locks. Goldy Locks has her own interesting story in this book. What will Matilda do about her feeling for the boys? Will they be able to find and get her mother back? I love how Cynthia combines the paranormal with comedy and some steamy aspects. It all flows together wonderfully and nothing seems out of place. It has just the right amount of each. Matilda grows with each books and is coming out her self imposed shell. Also Crixus is changing with each book. He has been alive for a long time and has fallen into a pattern. But, I think meeting Matilda has changed something for him. Maybe made him actually care about someone beyond one lay. Then you have Liam the hitman. I also think he cares for Matilda in his own way. I can't wait for the next book in this series as always. Another fantastic book Cynthia.
