Gentleman takes a chance
Kyrie Smith was raised as a foundling. Now for the first time in her life, she has a home and a place. With her boyfriend Tom Ormson, she is part owner of a diner. And Tom doesn’t mind if she’s a panther shifter, because he, himself, is a dragon shifter. But suddenly her life is thrown in turmoil. A series of unexplained murders at the aquarium could expose the existence of shape shifters; an ancient organization of dragon shifters takes a personal interest in Tom; and worst of all, an ancient dire-wolf shifter has come to town. Dante Dire is the enforcer for the most powerful and oldest of the shifter organizations. He has been sent to solve a crime – not the crimes at the aquarium, but a crime the human world cannot be allowed to discover.

Review of 'Gentleman takes a chance' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I swear, this is the third book by this author where a character does something incredibly stupid, with foreshadowing, with cramming down the neck of the dumb. The author writes really well when they're not troping - especially the character-is-dumb trope - but sweet gods.
The story itself keeps me grinding away at it, but this book in particular has made me want to rip my brain out a couple times just so I won't have to remember that bit.
There's more than one that bit.
