Agent Cooper Dayton and his partner, Oliver Park, are going undercover—at a retreat for couples who need counseling. They do say the best cover story is one that’s close to the truth… Agent Cooper Dayton is almost relieved to get a phone call from his former boss at the Bureau of Special Investigations. It means a temporary reprieve from tensions created by house hunting with Oliver Park, his partner both in work and in life. Living together in a forever home is exactly what Cooper wants. He’s just not keen on working out the details. With a former alpha werewolf missing, Cooper and Park are loaned to the BSI to conduct the search at a secluded mountain retreat. The agents will travel to the resort undercover…as a couple in need of counseling. The resort is picturesque, the grounds are stunning and the staff members are all suspicious as hell. With a long list of suspects and danger lurking around every cabin, Cooper should be focusing on the case. But he’s always been anxious about the power dynamics in his relationship with Park, and participating in the couples’ activities at the retreat brings it all to the surface. A storm is brewing, though, and Cooper and Park must rush to solve the case before the weather turns. Or before any more guests—or the agents themselves—end up dead.

3.5 stars. This series has been a mixed bag for me. I was so annoyed by Cooper's (and then Park's) inability to be open with each other, especially in [b:The Wolf at the Door 38899537 The Wolf at the Door (Big Bad Wolf #1) Charlie Adhara https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1519953916l/38899537.SY75.jpg 58190977] and [b:The Wolf at Bay 40747985 The Wolf at Bay (Big Bad Wolf #2) Charlie Adhara https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1531073836l/40747985.SX50.jpg 61270807] - about their feelings, about the secrets in their past - that I read all of Wolf in Sheep's Clothing with my heart in my throat, waiting for another Big Misunderstanding or Failure to Communicate. And indeed the story starts with our two MCs house-hunting and Cooper afraid to tell Park that he doesn't like any of the McMansions that Park seems to favor. But then once they get called out on a case, things get much better. Cooper isn't thrilled to be back in a setting where he is one of only a few humans, but he is pretty direct with Park about his insecurities, and when weird stuff starts happening, Cooper lets Park in emotionally (or as emotionally as prickly, snarky Cooper ever gets). There are several hot love scenes (the power dynamics between the two MCs provide for some not quite run of the mill sexy times) and some heart-stopping, life-threatening danger at the book's climax, with the relationship taking another step forward in the aftermath and the promise of at least one more story.I'm not really a mystery reader so I have to admit all of the potential suspects, red herrings, clues, etc. didn't hold my interest; I'm mostly here for the romance. And I kept getting hung up on the names of one of the victims (how do you pronounce “Llcaj?” Does the double L sound like the Spanish Y? Is the J hard or soft?), and slightly confused by the numerous secondary characters. The relationship between Charlie and Park kept me going, though, and I suspect it will lead me to #5, [b:Cry Wolf 50744187 Cry Wolf (Big Bad Wolf, #5) Charlie Adhara https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/book/50x75-a91bf249278a81aabab721ef782c4a74.png 75767676] in 2021.
