About this book
Isaac is a mage with a dream and a rebellious streak, steadfastly refusing to let his family’s military expectations dictate his future. When a golden opportunity arises through his temp agency, he lands a position assisting a notoriously volatile dragon. Maverick is powerful, overworked, and currently at his breaking point, terrorizing his office with a temper that threatens to derail his entire career. He only agrees to hire an assistant as a desperate measure to keep his dragon side in check, but he never expected someone as vibrant and stubborn as Isaac.
This installment of the Charmed Away Temp Agency series is a masterclass in the grumpy-sunshine dynamic. As the sparks fly between the brooding, short-tempered dragon and the sassy, pink-haired mage, their professional relationship quickly shifts into something far more dangerous and intoxicating. Set against the backdrop of a high-pressure academy environment, this paranormal romance thrives on the tension of two opposites forced into close proximity.
Readers will fall for the spicy banter and the satisfying slow-burn evolution of a dragon learning to melt for his perfect match. If you are looking for an addictive shifter romance that balances magical stakes with heart-pounding chemistry, this charming story is your next must-read obsession.

This is a new author for me and now one of my favorites! Dragons tend to be on my \"read now\" list so I tried this one. And it was great! I read straight through, only stopping for more coffee and loved it! And to top that off, the grammar is perfect! A winner! I immediately grabbed book one (didn't bother me to read them out of order) and I see that the author intends to write more stories in this series. I certainly hope that she writes fast! In the meantime, I am planning to try some of her...

This was a very cute book. I've always loved a good grump and then watching him melt for his person. That is the epitome of this book. Isaac's sass and Maverick's grumpiness were the highlights of this story. I enjoyed seeing these two get tangled up in each other. This book would have benefited from more relationship development. I feel like most of the book was fairly slow in development and then 70% of the way through it hit light speed and didn't fully track. The ending also fizzled out in...

Where Avery was adorable, Isaac was spicy. Watching Maverick and Isaac tussle was great fun. It was nice to get more insight on the dragon. Learning about traditions and seeing their magic was really interesting as well )

It was well past midnight when I finally had to stop. It took another two hours to finish a great story. I sort of read this series out of order, starting with number four before going to the beginning, but it's still a great ride doing it! )

Isaac is a mage who is trying to work, go to law school and study. Maverick is a dragon, and head of the lawyers in a fantastic company. He also has a problem with his temper. Isaac wants to help him curb the worst of his temper. A great book by Amy Padilla. Highly Recommended )
