Joy Bermin has had a crush on Quince Castille forever but
it all went sour when he sided with the psycho feline
shifter Lex who set out to destroy their Ac-taw (shifters)
Florida Pride. The psycho is gone and now he thinks to just
waltz right in and she will fall all over herself for him.
She has a mind of her own and she isn't about to let anyone
feline or human boss her around ... even if she knows she's
running
from her heart. She just wants to make sure she has him BY
THE TAIL not the other way around. Is she only fooling
herself?
Quince has always wanted Joy as his mate but she was his
best friend's kid sister, there was no way he could look at
her then. Now the threat is gone and he has control of the
Pride working to fix all that the bastard had destroyed and
he is finding time to go after Joy to lay claim to his
mate. If only his best friend would believe he had not
betrayed their people things would be so much easier. Then
again his Joy is worth whatever he has to do to have her.
BY THE TAIL is a fast paced, sizzling paranormal filled
with sexy felines of all shapes and sizes. Joy and Quince
match each other perfectly ... she won't give in and he
won't
give up. They certainly did figure out very quickly that
they are a physical match and readers can almost feel the
heat burning through the pages. I loved that even though he
is an alpha he also has a very big romantic streak when he
refuses to mate her for any other reason than love. Author
Marie Harte without doubt knows what readers are looking
for and gives it to them by the page full while adding a
number of intriguing and unexpected twists until the
satisfying end. I read BY THE TAIL in one sitting and have
immediately put it in my read again list.
It’s more than whether you win or lose; it’s how you play with your prey.

When he tricks her into seeing how good things could really be between them, she’s stuck between dismay and desire. Just when Quince was ready to prove his love for Joy, that mess with the pride shot his credibility all to hell. Trickery is the only way to break her resistance and show her the truth. And holy hell, that woman could melt steel with her heat.
