New Orleans Police Detective Charlotte (Cee Cee) Caissie is called out of her lover's warm embrace to investigate the vicious rape and slaughter of a young woman. Again, Cee Cee finds only remnants of body parts, more indicative of an animal attack. Cee Cee knows suspicion will be aimed at her lover, the magnificent Max Savoie. Devoted to both Max and her belief in her position as a law enforcer, Cee Cee is torn in her loyalty. As a feral shape-shifter and extremely powerful man involved in illegal ventures and criminal activities, Max's history will come soon back to haunt him.

The hot sex, as well as the investigation, reach extreme heights as a second woman is found slaughtered. Cee Cee's love for Max drives her to dangerous levels as she tries to clear his name. Max is keeping secrets from her as his past catches up with him. The return of someone from Max's past changes his life forever, leaving him unable to determine who can be trusted. Max's one goal is to protect Cee Cee against threats, no matter the cost to him or anyone else.

This is another thriller in Nancy Gideon's shape- shifter series. Like MASKED BY MOONLIGHT, this novel is equally as erotic and exciting throughout. The sleek heroine is a strong and dedicated woman torn by her all- consuming love for Max. This book will keep your senses alert and the blood pounding. I anxiously await the continuation of this series next month with the release of CAPTURED BY MOONLIGHT.
