Once in a blue moon, opposites find they're a perfect match. Nick Perry is tired of helping people with their marriages, so when a spot opens up to work with teens at Camp H.O.W.L., he jumps at it. He doesn't expect to fall in lust with the dreamy new camp doctor, Drew Welch. But Drew is human, and Nick has seen secrets ruin too many relationships to think that a human/werewolf romance can go anywhere. Happy-go-lucky Drew may not sprout claws, but he's been part of the Were community all his life. He has no trouble fitting in at the camp-except for Nick's stubborn refusal to acknowledge the growing attraction between them and his ridiculous stance on dating humans. Fate intervenes when one of his private practice patients threatens Drew's life. Will the close call help Nick to see a connection like theirs isn't something to let go of?

Before I start my review, I should mention that I haven’t read this series in order. I’ve even read a spin-off book before I read this story. I suggest that you read this series in order, because at times I was lost because I forgot what happened in the first book.
Nick Perry is a werewolf. He’s also a therapist who’s tired of dealing with human relationship issues so he’s transferred to Camp H.O.W.L. His experiences with humans and their drama has tainted his idea of humans and love. Even though Nick is a therapist, his mindset and behavior are atrocious. He’s the poster boy for the idea that therapists are all screwed up, that’s why they’re therapists. Drew Welch is a doctor who’s human, but raised with wolves, so he’s basically a wolf in all ways except being able to shift. He’s a great guy, helpful, patient, stable and liked by all. He becomes the new doctor at the camp.
Both men don’t know the other is going to work at the camp, so when a layover at the airport hits, they have a very hot encounter the night of the Blue Moon. To say they are shocked when they see each other again at the camp introductions, is an understatement. Drew is happy, but Nick is a jerk. Nick doesn’t make a good impression and the other employees think he doesn’t like humans. Most know Drew because he’s visited the camp before. The plot deals with Drew and Nick competing on almost everything, Drew trying to get Nick’s attention and to admit they’re good together, and Nick being a huge jerk and unwilling to admit Drew is his mate. I liked Drew, but not Nick. I have no idea why Drew liked Nick, other than the sex they had that one time, and that he liked Nick’s sense of humor. I wasn’t convinced these two characters were a good match, so I didn’t feel that they worked as a couple and I couldn’t get into them. Drew I liked separately, but not as a pairing with Nick.
The one thing that didn’t work for me was the use of the medical emergency trope as the catalyst to the story. All of a sudden, the resistant character, in this case, Nick, discovers that he may lose his mate and therefore has an epiphany. He’s suddenly in love or admits he’s in love. I’ve read this type of trope so many times in books, that it’s lost the impact and it comes across as an easy way for an author to conclude the story without thinking of something cleverer. It’s too predictable.
Under a Blue Moon continues seamlessly from the first book, just be sure to read this series in order, it’s also a fast, easy read. I liked Drew but not Nick, and wasn’t convinced of them as a couple. I also didn’t care for the medical catastrophe trope at the end, because I’ve read so many of them. But this story was still a pleasant way to spend the time reading, so I’ll give this book, 3 Stars.
