Dakota pulled out her phone and looked for the Matchmater App. She had been stood up, so she was going to go back to using this App and see if she could find someone. Something seemed to be spurring her on to find a certain someone special. She found a dragon shifter who had disheveled black hair and a mischievous grin – not her type but without a second thought, she swiped right and was instantly matched! He typed in complete sentences, which impressed her; and he flirted back and forth with her in a fun way. She felt emboldened and invited him over – to which he agreed! If all they had was a night together, it would be worth it and she would blame it on being drunk. Dakota’s familiar, a little dragon named Rhi, nudged her hand for some petting. Dakota told her she would have to go when Achilles arrived. No one but the witch who owned her could see a familiar -- except maybe the witch’s mate, but she didn’t want to take the chance. When Achilles arrived, he was everything she needed and had a wonderful time together. When the App prompted her later as to whether she had found her mate, she just couldn’t select “no” and threw the phone back on the bed. She had felt something but wasn’t sure what. When Nina and Rosie came over to mourn Nina’s curse of yet another of her dates finding a mate right after they had gone out, Rosie told her Dakota could not stop thinking about her guy last night. Dakota denied it, but when they asked his eye color, she sighed “green”, and when they asked what shade of green, she talked about the turquoise hue of a Greek island, and both ladies nodded their agreement she was definitely in love! Achilles went to see his Granny at a nursing home and she asked if he had found his mate. A precog witch 200 years ago had predicted he would find a mate he would give up everything for. Interpreting that literally, he didn’t want to do that and be left with nothing. His grandmother kept commenting on his mate, and his mind went to Dakota. She was so different than anyone else he dated. But he was so afraid of falling into a false mating that would ruin both of them because each would leave when their true mate came along. Why was his attraction so strong? Why couldn’t he get her off his mind? This was a good book with very likable characters. Dakota was strong and intelligent, and despite the odd feelings she was having, she was willing to let Achilles go, thinking he was not her mate . . . and then she realized he was. But a week had passed with no word, so she ignored it and found another date on MatchMater. The next move would have to come from Achilles. Was he beginning to realize the mating bond too? Is it too late for them now?
