Mr. January by Bailey Bradford

There’s no sense in pussy-footing around when it comes to love.

Albert E. Washington is a nerd and proud of it. He’s a cool cat when he shifts, but for the most part, he’s just a guy who sometimes tapes his glasses together and enjoys quality clothing like bowties and suspenders. When his boss has him acting as an errand boy, Albert finds himself in the middle of a sexy calendar photo shoot. It’s a little too much for him to process and he ends up embarrassing himself.

Gregg is Mr. January—or he will be if the photo shoot ever gets going. Injuring his back when he trips on the set isn’t going to speed things up. The appearance of a seriously hot guy who flips the switch on Gregg’s geeky-man button makes a bad day great. Now, if Gregg can just get Albert to agree to a date, if he doesn’t scare Albert off, if Albert will just pick up on the flirtatious things Gregg says…

That’s a lot of ifs, but Gregg isn’t intimidated by them. He knows his dream man when he meets him. Now all Gregg has to do is survive the photo shoot and convince Albert to give him, and love, a chance.

M/M Romance with shifter talk

Albert is a cat shifter and he is also a nerdy guy. He knows that most people look at him and don't see someone desirable. When he's asked by his boss to go to a photo shoot, he is immediately drawn to Gregg.

Gregg is a doctor who is volunteering at the photo shoot. He knows that it's for a good cause, but it has become the bane of his existence. When the photographer and all of the members fall ill, and other things start to happen around the shoot and to other people, there is an added mystery to the romance.

Gregg and Albert are a cute couple, but I'm not exactly sure what Albert's shifting abilities have to do with the story. Perhaps this will become more apparent with more books, but in this one it was just a confusing part of the story that was talked about but never really focused on.

I'm much more focused on the mystery than the relationship at the end of the book and do want to know what happens next.

A native Texan, Bailey spends her days spinning stories around in her head, which has contributed to more than one incident of tripping over her own feet. Evenings are reserved for pounding away at the keyboard, as are early morning hours. Sleep? Doesn't happen much. Writing is too much fun, and there are too many characters bouncing about, tapping on Bailey's brain demanding to be let out.

Caffeine and chocolate are permanent fixtures in Bailey's office and are never far from hand at any given time. Removing either of those necessities from Bailey's presence can result in what is known as A Very, Very Scary Bailey and is not advised under any circumstances.
