Rescued from a breed facility when she was just a child,
Katie O'Sullivan has lived her life without the knowledge
that she possesses recessed wolf breed genes. Now that her
genetics have kicked in, there's a frenzy of people out to
get her and will do anything to achieve their goal. When an
attack takes place at her home, Katie is rescued by Devil
Black, the grim reaper of the breeds, who also turns out to
be her mate.
The Curse of the Black Swan -- Alyssa Day
A centuries old family curse causes Brynn Carroll to change
into a swan on every third night and sing to the moon.
Caught changing back into a human by Bordertown firefighter
Sean O'Malley, Brynn is determined to never see the man
again, but Sean has other plans. Hiding the fact that he's a
fire demon has kept Sean pretty isolated from his fellow
firefighters but when he connects with Brynn, he'll do
anything to convince her to take a chance on him. When a
fire starter hits too close to home though, all may be lost.
Salvage -- Meljean Brook
Georgiana has only ever wanted one thing; for her husband to
stay with her and hold her in his arms every night. Instead
her husband, Thom, has spent their entire marriage out at
sea. When she finds Thom washed up on shore, injured,
Georgiana is determined to fix him up and get a divorce.
Kidnapped before she could do more than patch him up,
Georgiana and Thom discover they both want another chance at
their marriage but if their captors have any say in it,
they'll be spending the rest of their lives at the bottom of
the sea.
Ecstasy Under The Moon -- Lucy Monroe
Five years ago, eagle shifter Una's curiosity lead to
disastrous results for herself and her family at the hands
of wolf shifters. When her prince declares that wolf
emissaries will be coming to live with them and teach them
the way of the Faol, Una can't help but panic at the thought
of ever facing a wolf again. Bryant is instantly aware of
Una from the moment he enters Ean land. Now he just has to
convince Una and her family he's not like the other wolves
they encountered.
ENTHRALLED brings together some of the best names in the
paranormal genre currently heating up the romance charts. Of
the four fabulous stories in this anthology, I admit to
being the most partial to Alyssa Day's Curse of the Black
Swan. One bit of advice though? Do not pay attention to the
blurb on the back of the anthology. Not sure what happened
there but what it tells you is not what the story is about.
I fell in love with Ms. Day's new League of the Black
Swan
series with her first book, Cursed, and The Curse of the
Black Swan has only reinforced that. Best news is that Ms.
Day has said all of Sean's fire demon brothers' will get
their own novellas as well. The pyro I keep suppressed deep
inside me is doing one hell of a happy dance right now.
Lora Leigh takes us back into the world of her breeds with
THe Devil's Due and tantalizes us with glimpses of Cassandra
Sinclair's story. Cassie is a character whose story readers
have been waiting for from the beginning of Lora Leigh's
Breed series and since she has said Cassie's story
isn't
coming anytime soon, hopefully this'll be enough to tide
readers over until that fateful day arrives. Though I always
enjoy an adventure into the lives of the breeds, I felt this
story was a bit more of a set up for things to come and
didn't focus enough of it's time on the main characters.
Having said that though, it's Lora Leigh, so you know it is
going to be good.
Lucy Monroe continues her Children of the Moon series
with
Ecstasy Under the Moon, which occurs between the third and
fourth book in the series. I love the sweetness of the
romance between Una and Bryant. Bryant is so patient with
Una and her family, winning them over slowly, and watching
Una come out of her shell to reclaim the life she once had
made this story thoroughly enjoyable. You can never go wrong
with Lucy Monroe.
Of the four novellas featured in the ENTHRALLED anthology,
the only author I'm unfamiliar with is Meljean Brook. While
I did like her story Salvage, I know I would have enjoyed it
more if I'd been familiar with the world she's created.
That's certainly not the story's fault though and it just
means I will have to now familiarize myself with this author
because even though at times I was left a bit bewildered by
her world, her writing pulled me into the story.
ENTHRALLED is an engrossing anthology from four amazing
authors who'll leave you pining for more stories. If these
novellas don't get you adding more books to your TBR pile,
then you shouldn't be reading romance novels.
They have the power to hold you spellbound, to captivate
your senses,
and to keep you forever in their control. Forever enthralled
