ON THE GROWL is a fun and sexy collection of novellas by
Celia Kyle, Lynn Red, Jessica Sims, Flora Dare, and Marina
Maddix. All of the stories are one-on-one romances except
for the ménage by Flora Dare. I like the variety of
shifters in these stories -- rabbits, bears, eagle, wolves,
tigers, and more. I also appreciated the fact that the
stories were all extremely hot, but had an equal dose of
humor to balance the heat. Except for Celia Kyle and
Jessica Sims, the authors in this anthology are new to me.
I'm extremely happy to discover some new authors.
"Tiger by the Tail" takes place in the world of Jessica
Sims's Midnight Liaisons series. I'm a big fan of this
series and Jessica Sims does not disappoint. Mandy Petersen
went on a date and got turned into a were-tiger. Though
grossly unfair, this brings her into the orbit of the very
sexy Adrian Merino. "Tiger by the Tail" is full of sexual
tension and teasing between Mandy and Adrian. As much as I
love the sexiness, what I really like about this story is
that Adrian is able to empathize with Mandy. The fact that
he can do that and realize how so many of her choices have
been taken away from her, make him more than just eye candy.
"Waking Up Were" by Celia Kyle is another story about a
woman bitten and changed into a shifter against her will.
However, unlike in "Tiger by the Tail" by Jessica Sims,
Brenna was bitten by a rogue werewolf. Declan is a little
different than the other heroes in this anthology. He is
the alpha of the Swan Mountain werewolf pack. He is
immediately possessive of Brenna once he finds she has been
turned, but I feel like he is never aggressive with her. I
think it's an important distinction. The romance between
Brenna and Declan is red hot.
"Bear Your Teeth" takes place in Lynn Red's Jamesburg
Shifters series and has the unlikely pairing of a rabbit
shifter and a bear shifter. However, the attraction between
Rika and Thor is intense. Like the story by Jessica Sims, I
like that Rika and Thor connect on an emotional as well as
sexual level. In addition to the steamy consummation of
countless fantasies they've had about each other, Rika and
Thor open up to each other about their family life. The
emotional intimacy is sweet and gives the story some depth.
"To Screech His Own" starts a new series by Marina Maddix
centering on Haven Resort -- a resort specifically for
shifters in a lush tropical setting. I love bird shifters
but I rarely see stories that focus on them, so I was happy
that the hero of "To Screech His Own" is an eagle shifter.
The romance in this story was great and I find the resort
and the enigmatic Mr. Roarke fascinating. I look forward to
more stories in this series.
Love comes in all shapes and sizes. No surprise there,
right? Passionate, wild, hungry, dripping, salty, sweaty,
steamy; falling in love is the best thing in the world.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a bunny with curves, a brand new
werewolf without much clue what’s happening, a feisty
wolverine shifter, a fun-loving house cat or a were-tigress
with a short temper for obnoxious men, there’s a big,
protective, incredible alpha for everyone... or in some
cases, two of them!
Except... sometimes, it gets complicated. Mysterious and
magical resorts, dangerous rogue wolves, dentists that get
just a little too excited and start growing hair in funny
places, a couple of bears who might be terrorists, and a
tiger with a bad attitude?
Gulp. Things could get REAL complicated.
In places where the only rules are Pack rules; in towns
where shifters and witch doctors rub shoulders; on exotic
vacations where only eagles dare, and on planes where a
wolverine shifter is sandwiched between two of the sexiest
bears she’s ever imagined, you’ll never have more fun, or
get more steamy, seductive, incredible paranormal romance in
ONE PLACE at ONE LOW PRICE.
From our pack to yours, enjoy these incredible novellas, and
keep howling for the moon!
