"entertaining romantic science fiction suspense"
In 2023 New Mexico Sheriff's Deputy Megan Fields patrols a
lonely part of the desert. She likes this area because she
is unable to control her empathic skills and rarely runs
into anyone in this remote area. She senses trouble and
soon finds a vehicle with two people dead inside. Someone
starts shooting at her. Lion breed (mix of lion DNA into
human DNA) Braden Arness helps expedite Megan from the mess
though she does not trust a breed especially one who just
bit her. The next day inside Sheriff Lance's office, Braden sees
Megan and becomes instantly hard and jealous when he senses
her arousal, though he is not sure who the male is. Braden
insists that the Coyotes who killed the two breeds wanted
Megan dead as she was the target. He will stay by her side
to protect her though she tells him to get lost as she
fears her attraction to Braden as she gave up on sex years
ago; it is hard to enjoy anything when you hear the inner
thoughts and fantasies of one's partner. As they fall in
love and he already marked her with his bite as his, a
powerful deadly enemy wants her dead. This entertaining romantic science fiction suspense will
remind the audience of KITTY AND THE MIDNIGHT HOUR by
Carrie Vaughn and MaryJanice Davidson's DERIK'S BANE as
this futuristic world filled with "Breeds" seems "normal".
The paranormal elements blend smoothly into the exciting
story line and the lead couple make a fine pairing though
society forbids a relationship between a half breed and a
purebred. Though some readers will be turned off by too
much profanity and the lead female denies she is in love
too often, sub-genre readers will appreciate this
delightful thriller. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
