Professor Bryce MacLeod has devoted his entire life to environmentalism. But how effective can he be in saving the planet when he can't even get his surly neighbor to separate his recycling? Former Queen's Enforcer Mal Kendrick doesn't think his life could get any worse: he's been exiled from Faerie with a cursed and useless right hand. When he's not dodging random fae assassins in the Outer World, he's going toe-to-toe with his tree-hugging neighbor. And when he discovers that the tree-hugger is really a druid, he's certain the gods have it in for him - after all, there's always a catch with druids. Then he's magically shackled to the man and expected to instruct him in Supernatural 101.All right, now things couldn't possibly get worse. Until a mysterious stranger offers a drunken Mal the chance to gain back all he's lost - for a price. After Mal accepts, he discovers the real catch: an ancient secret that will change his and Bryce's life forever. Ah, what the hells. Odds are they won't survive the week anyway.… (meer)

If you have not already done so, please go read Cutie and the Beast so you know who David and Alun are - I promise it's worth it. David is hilarious, and of course, awesome. Alun's brother Mal has been stripped of power and kicked out of Fairie - and the swamp loving tree hugger next door? Well...

I loved how all the plot elements came together in Mal and Bryce's story. But the best is how strong each is, despite his failings and blind spots. Sometimes an author wants to convey that but falls short. So not true here. Each learns, each grows (sometimes very belatedly) and I laughed when I saw where it was going to end.

On to #3, Bad Boy's Bard! ( )

Bryce and Mal are an interesting pairing, but, in all honesty, the whole D/s nonsense drives me nuts.

[ETA 04/19/21] - I think why there's way more sex than necessary in this story is because the author is compensating for the next book Bad Boy's Bard, which has little to no sex and there's no preoccupation with people's backsides. ( )

2.5 Reasons later.

Reasons:

- Mal, who is an established character (see book 1), does an uncomfortable 180° personality flip topped with an insta hate-to-love somersault. Yeah, I felt dizzy, too.

- Bryce. A new character who starts as geeky and shy and adorable, but turns into insufferable control freak, when he decides that Mal should not lie to him. like EVAH. Excuse me? Mal has had a long life, not to mention he is literally not of this world. I think he is eligible for a secret or two, plus a few that are not his own. MCs have only known each other for a couple of days before Bryce turns into a manipulative, truth-demanding bastard. What the hell? Bryce does not appeal to me at all. Hope he falls off his high horse and breaks something sensitive. Twice.

- Steve. Also a secretive, manipulative bastard, but on a new whole level. I loved Steve.

- Cassie. A meddling, inconsiderate witch. Someone needs to take her down a notch.

I did love the world. Will read book 3. ( )

I'm glad Mal found his match, lol. I had a soft spot for him in the last book already, even though he's a moody bastard, lol. This book seemed a little easier to read as the world building was done in book 1. It was also good to visit with David, Alun and Cassie again, although Cassie really needs to learn to explain things better *grin*

The book wasn't perfect, in fact I had a few WTF moments, although they were explained as the story unfolded. I also felt it all ending a little abruptly, not the relationship between Mal and Bryce, but another story arc. I can only hope that it will all be resolved in book 3! ( )
