One mage: Bel Adams–part demon, gun shy about being rejected by one again, needs a familiar.
One familiar: Nico di Rossi–Army Ranger, needs a change of pace and a new purpose in life, is a golden retriever in human form (though not literally).
Plus one familiar: Garen Dallarosa–Secret Service, part gargoyle, needs his ex-lover Nico back.
One second chance–all for the taking.

Basically a fun book but could have used a more reasonable timeline, had more together time, and more magic details, and been a stronger offering.
Worldbuilding: A bit thin. Not being over saturated with detail is fine, but even my “I don’t need battle details” could have stood to see a few more battle details, or at least some reasoning behind why it’s ok to remove the protective spells on what could be a Big Problem. My biggest gripe is the speed with which this triad came together then jumped into both work & play, in part because of the familiar bond. Like, they’re not even fully moved in, have literally 1 day of (failed) training before going out on a job when policy gives them 6 weeks to settle in? Don’t make rules then immediately discard them. Either don’t write that rule in or have a better reason for breaking it than a known mid-grade hazard. Then all the interruption? I wish there were either better reasons for delaying/interrupting or less delaying. The sex scenes were fun, they didn’t need to be cut off to make this story work. The sex didn’t drive the tension and it didn’t have to. It could have happened earlier then got more inventive with how to incorporate a third, or ramp up the 19yo’s experience rather than just “ok we’ve done it now, we can be in loooove”.
Steam: Medium-Hot, M/M/M. There’s a fair amount of descriptive action on page action thru the back half the book. Consent isn’t badly done but it’s a 19yo employer with his 30-something employees that just met 49 minutes ago so while I don’t have a problem with quick hook ups, the almost immediate “I love you forever” with this person I met 50 minutes ago is now “as important to me as my ex of 5 years that I still love” wasn’t sold as well as it maybe could have been.
Narration: Good performers. Solidly done.
Fun but timeline is wack
