4 Stars!! Riley Rivers’ Debut Story – The Werewolf’s Nymph Neighbor

A werewolf raising two kids on his own…
A grumpy nymph who moves in next door…
and a bond that might just save them both.

Eric loves his new house. Specifically, as a nymph, he loves the garden. And while he doesn’t love the two curious and talkative kids next door at first, he’s not so much of an unsociable hermit that he won’t answer their questions. As for their father, well, Eric won’t deny that he finds him incredibly attractive, and finding out that he’s single only makes him more irresistible. But Eric’s a nymph; sex is always on his mind. He’s perfectly capable of ignoring his impulses.

Single dad Leon is taken with his new neighbor at first glance. He’s beautiful, ridiculously competent, and he smells fantastic which, for a werewolf, means a lot to Leon. The fact that he’s good with Leon’s kids, even when it’s clear he doesn’t know how to react to their affection, is what tips the balance from “curious” to “altogether too interested.” He can’t deny the pull he feels toward Eric, but he’s willing to take things slow.

When hunters threaten Leon’s family, Eric steps in to help, and the aftermath of adrenaline leads him straight to Leon’s bed. But while it makes Leon realize just how important Eric really is… Eric is convinced Leon could never want something more. Before either of them can deal with their own feelings, the hunters return; more dangerous, more determined, and this time Eric is a target too.

Can Leon save his family? Can Eric allow himself to become a part of it?

Now I love a good shifter/fated mates story but its been a while since I’ve found one so endearing.

This book focuses on the people and their ‘human’ natures first and their shifter/supernatural side second, allowing for a more authentic feeling which has surprising depth for such a short read.

I was drawn in by Eric’s somewhat grumpy and endearing nature. I didn’t know much about Nymphs but Riley paints a picture that was able to immerse me in this mythical world without weighting the book down with too much unnecessary info. 

I enjoyed ‘watching’ the mate bond form between Eric and werewolf, Leon. Leon is a kind alpha wolf and protector and has adopted his brothers orphaned children. This book is thrilling and descriptive in its character interactions and I fell in love with the two children; Griffin and Aria.

Riley has a way with words, setting a wonderfully suburban scene, while throwing in a little magic, some suspicious activity and a thrilling ending. I’m really looking forward to Book 2; The Werewolf’s Dragon Defender which is Tommy’s story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to any fellow MM shifter/supernatural lovers out there, or anyone looking for a quick endearing read with a happy ending!!!

Thanks for reading 📚!
