Synopsis (Goodreads):

I’ve been set up on a blind date with a Hyrrokin named Idun Grindstone?

Noooo. This will never work!

How can a human who is set to gain a significant inheritance have anything in common with a foul-mouthed, satanic-looking security specialist? Smoke regularly wafts out of this guy’s nostrils and his shiny barbed tail juts out in the air behind him as he prowls across the military hanger. But…I’m enchanted with Idun’s deep voice, his massive bare chest and (swoon) those epic thighs. This Hyrrokin is a handsome red devil and oh so touchable. And I want my tongue in his mouth, immediately.

Unfortunately, Idun thinks I’m a spoiled, irresponsible party girl and he wants nothing to do with me.

*eye roll*

Party girl? He must have me confused with my evil twin sister.

And then I’m kidnapped by the Hyrrokin mafia and held for ransom. When Idun finds out, he activates his team at Molten Lava Security and all hell breaks loose. And that’s when I discover how much this fiery ex-soldier really cares about me—despite his protestations. Ha!

Thoughts on His Human Socialite: I'm a little torn on this book because I'm not the biggest fan of organized crime/mafia story lines and we had that coming at us from two angles. Jada's father (who will 100% never win a father of the year award) has little crime syndicate setup going on and then Jada is kidnapped by the Hyrrokin mafia. Except...the Hyrrokin mafia was pretty mellow when it came down to it. They delivered a light order of kidnapping and a little sniffing. Which sounds weird, but there you go.

Anyway. Kinda of torn because I liked Idun (grumps who get all besotted are always fun, BUT he did jump to some pretty quick conclusions about Jada and that wasn't cool) and I like the rest of the Molten Lava team. Jada's situation was a little OTT (probably because I'm still working my head around the organized crime portion of the story) and her sister is not nearly as evil as everyone is making her out to be.

Pregnant bellies (and soon to be babies!), kittens, a really poorly thought out setup for a blind date, a surly hero who lets the past nearly mess everything up for him, and a lady who's on the run. Here's to more surly grumps and the ladies who entangle them.
