What an exciting first book ‘Trent’ from Kathi S. Baton’s “Calhoun Men” has turned out to be. The Calhoun family are wolves and as you can probably guess, Trent is the oldest son. When the story starts off we learn that Trent is a quite successful financial planner. He and his brother Elijah have gone into business together. Well, financially they have … for all practical purposes, Trent hates to delegate and micro-manages most everything, which in turn has kept him fairly stressed. I’m telling you, I laughed myself silly when TJ Calhoun, the father, came into the office apologizing over and over to Trent for something he’d done and brought a dozen homemade biscuits as a peace offering. What’d he do? Oh, he set him up on a blind date that turned out to be a prostitute, and then she was going to call the police on Trent when he not only did not want anything to do with her but refused to pay her. You can imagine TJ lamenting his ignorance about her trade. And the biscuits? Oh, they have their regular cook’s niece helping out for a bit. Her name is Johanna but she goes by Joe. She had just arrived at the office to see if Mr. Calhoun could give her a ride back when Trent wound up on the floor with a heart attack and everyone was just standing around not doing anything. She couldn’t just stand there and do nothing to help so she shoved all and sundry out of the way and gave him CPR until the ambulance could get there. Come to find out, Joe is a daywalker for an extremely old and powerful vampire by the name of Noah. Once she lets Noah know she’s at the hospital with the family she’s helping out he has her let the Calhoun family know he’s coming and then appears to introduce himself. Once Trent is stabilized and in his room, Joe is sent in to see him since she’s the one that saved his life. Trent wakes up, his wolf recognizes her as his mate and immediately scares her so bad she hollers for Noah through their connection which brings him immediately. There are exciting twists and turns within the family and the bonds between wolf and vampire are built, not just with this couple, but within the entire family. I’m really excited to start this new series and if the rest of the book moves along so quickly with so much action, adventure, drama, emotion, and chemistry, then I can hardly wait to start Elijah’s story next.
I absolutely love reading Kathi’s books! One thing I’m always guaranteed is a strong independent female, not matter her situation, who will speak her mind and not let a man walk all over her.
Johanna aka Joe never let even living on the streets when she was younger rid her of her protective nature or kindness. When she saves Noah, a vampire, he returns the favor and protects her as well as provides her with whatever she may need for centuries; in return she became his day walker.
