Beautician Tameka Jones doesn’t miss her job as a psychologist and prefers dishing out advice in the setting of a salon. The clients are more receptive, there’s less chance of being sued, and the feel of hair through her fingers has always been more peaceful than that of an office setting. With the death of her beloved grandmother comes an opportunity to set her roots in a small town. Tameka’s quiet country surroundings alter, thanks to the attention of a local deputy and a stalker after her grandmother’s land.
Deputy Chadleigh Wilson didn’t know the meaning of family until he became a member of the Raven pack. Growing up in foster care did nothing to prepare him for the feelings Tameka stirs. Chad goes from lone wolf to mate in the flash of an eye and has no trouble in his new role. He knows his trouble lies in keeping his mate safe and getting Tameka to accept their bond. Will Chad and Tameka find the love they both deserve before it’s too late?
Zena Wynn’s True Mates series has become one of my favorite. The characters are always interesting and well developed, while the mountain setting stirs a longing for my country hometown. Not to mention smoking hot scenes filled with passion, love and enough heat to melt tar. True Mates: Tameka's Smile has a nice pace and begins with a scene that had me ready to speed down a secluded highway, in hopes of finding a sheriff with a few hours to spare. I’ll admit I highlighted that scene and plan to read it again in the future.

The character’s life stories draped over my senses and had me rooting for them. Tameka’s reasons for becoming a psychologist gave me respect for the woman. Her ability to attend school and gain the degrees needed were proof of her determination. Most people stay in a position, regardless of how much they hate it but Tameka understood that being happy with your career is more important than the money it can produce. I’ll definitely be taking a page out of her book in the coming months. Chad’s life of solitude pulled at my heartstrings. I started to question his status of lone wolf, citing a fear of being left alone or not having his love returned. Tameka’s love and friendship were definitely factors that he needed in his life. As usual, Ms. Wynn gives us a hint of a romance brewing for a future release. I found the story a pleasure to read and recommend it to those who enjoy I/R paranormal romance.
