Amazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM

Description:
Sergeant Major Candace Obermier has arrived at Alpha League Federal Agency headquarters with one task in mind–shutting it down. While A.L.F.A.’s pledge to protect humans from paranormal threats is noble, they’ve caused nothing but mayhem as far as Candy can tell. And their director? He’s the worst of the lot.

Director Josh Tumbel has finally found his mate. And she’s doing everything she can to shut down operations, while he struggles to control his mating instincts. But when A.L.F.A. headquarters is taken in a hostage situation, Josh has a chance to demonstrate the critical nature of the agency’s existence, and prove his worth to Candy as a protector and lover.

Review:

Fearless Mating by Milly Taiden is the 4^th book in her A.L.F.A. series. . Though each book revolves around an A.L.F.A. agent and finding his mate, these do read very well as standalones.

Josh Trumbel, our hero, is the director of A.L.F.A, as well as a wolf shifter.   When he meets a new government official, he is shocked to see that she is his mate.   Sergeant Major Candace Obermeier, our heroine, is a tough woman, who works in a new position reporting to the new president.  She is determined to save money for the budget, and when she meets the director, she tells him she is immediately shutting down his office.  Josh doesn’t take her too seriously, as he is still in shock and very happy to be looking at his mate.  Before he can explain to her the value of his group, she ups and leaves telling him to make sure he tells his employees.   Candace is in a rush to get out of Josh’s office, as she feels a strong attraction to him, making her feel uncomfortable, as she is not interested in men, except to rule them.

Later that evening, at a dinner honoring A.L.F.A., Candace shows up and reminds Josh to tell his team not to come to work the next day.  But just then, all hell breaks loose as a Russian terrorist group takes over part of the building, forcing Josh and Candace to work together.  Though Candace tries to take control, she will see Josh and his men in a different light, as she discovers they are shifters, which also gives them other benefits to fight off enemies. 

What follows is an ultra exciting, action packed  story, with Candace, Josh, his team trying to stop the terrorists and discover who and why they are under attack. During their rescue attempts, Josh continues to flirt and call Candace his mate.  At first she ignores him, but slowly she finds herself succumbing to his advances, especially when he keeps finding ways to kiss her.   When things are under some kind of control, both Candace and josh have a bad feeling that something is still not right.  This will escalate as they discover the new president is the target.  When they will race to protect the President and First lady, they begin to get closer, as their lives are in constant danger. One of the best things about this series is Taiden’s trademark humor throughout, as well as being very sexy. You can’t help but laugh at some of the situations, and find yourself enjoying the banter, even in difficult spots.  Just when things seem over, both Candace and Josh will find themselves in a death defying situation that looks hopeless. 

I did like Candace and Josh, and even enjoyed the President and his wife.  I was surprised how I came to like Candace, as she was a bit too tough and unbending early on.  Josh was simply great, and you knew in time he would change her mind about him, as well as the A.L.F.A team.

Fearless Mating was an exciting, suspenseful story, with lots of action.  If you enjoy paranormal romances, with humor and suspense, as well as a hot sexy read, then you should be reading this series.  Milly Taiden once again gives us another fun filled exciting story.
