When Special Forces Captain Landon Donovan is picked for an assignment with the Department of Covert Affairs, he’s stunned to find his new partner is a beautiful woman who looks like she couldn’t hurt a fly, much less take down a terrorist.
Ivy Halliwell isn’t your average covert op. Her feline DNA means she can literally bring out the claws when things get dicey. She isn’t thrilled to be paired with yet another military grunt, but Landon is different. He doesn’t think she’s a freak and he’s smokin’ hot.
Soon they find themselves facing a threat even greater than anyone imagines...and an animal magnetism impossible to ignore.

My Thoughts.
Her Perfect Mate is a blend of action/adventure, romance with a paranormal aspect featuring shifters working for a secret government department named EVA, all rolled together to bring to life this fresh, exciting, edge of your seat story.Ivy is a feline shifter who has not had much luck with work partners, after her previous two partners scorned her for what she was, she had no high hopes for her new partner Landon of special forces pulled from a mission to work with Ivy, but the sparks soon fly and the chemistry is hot between these two, if only there wasn't a rule forbidding them to be together.
Sent on various missions together which helps each other trust one another more, they battle their intense attraction to one another as well as the interference of fellow shifter Buchanan who has the hots for Ivy, unfortunately for him she doesn't reciprocate his feelings which only leads to fights between him and Landon, but when they are sent on a mission to investigate the rumors of a bioweapon being built are true, they find themselves in more trouble than they can handle, can they survive long enough to finally admit their feelings for one another or will it all be too late.
Paige has crafted a story that will have you intensely focused on nothing but this book, the characters are well written and fleshed out and the world building is so well done you don't feel like you've missed out on knowing anything, the concept was executed well and left me wanting more.
I look forward to continuing on with this series, I'm really anxious to know who's book is next.
Great book, highly recommended.
I give this book 4/5 stars.
