Lure of the Jaguar

The curse that had imprisoned the Lady of the Beasts' warriors is broken. The warriors and their mates are all safe from Hades, but there is still danger afoot for any human friends that might matter to them. Hades has figured out a loophole and still seeks his revenge. As the last of the unmated warriors, Stavros has retreated to the Louisiana bayou. He believes it is better to be alone than put anyone else in danger. He cannot foresee the LURE OF THE JAGUAR pulling a lovely woman into danger. Especially when this lovely is his destined mate.

Wildlife photographer Toni Richards doesn't need any man to be her hero but when three suspicious men try to kidnap her, she is shocked when the rare jaguar she had been tracking leaps to her rescue. She has to admit to being more than shocked when he turns into a man right in front of her wide eyes. Not just any man but an incredibly sexy man with a snarling jaguar tattoo across his back. She has a feeling that the adventure that she planned has just taken a really weird turn. One she wouldn't miss for anything in the world ... well unless hell wins, then she might have second thoughts.

LURE OF THE JAGUAR is truly hypnotic! The sexy Stavros was trying to keep hidden so he can protect any unsuspecting human woman from Hades. He should have guessed fate would have other ideas when he first meets up with Toni. Toni is intrepid, very confident in her ability to take care of herself, but then again she has never come across anything that she is about to face. Stavros does try to walk away, out of his fear for her safety, but it didn't work (of course) because the moment he felt her fear he was running to her rescue.

I hate to see the end of the Hades Carnival series, and was thrilled when author N.J. Walters took pity on her readers and gave us all seven of the warriors' stories. I did enjoy the epilogue where we got to visit with our heroes and the mates who rescued them for one final time. All the books of this series are stand alone but will lead you to wondering who is next, and of course wanting more. With the whole series on my TRA shelf I will have to see what else Ms. Walters comes up with. LURE OF THE JAGUAR is the perfect end to a really great series. Thank you Ms. Walters!

SUMMARY

Hades has one last trick up his sleeve...and this cat is running out of lives.

Hades’ Carnival, Book 7

The curse that imprisoned the Lady of the Beasts’ warriors is broken. Their mates are safe from Hades, but not their human friends. As the only unmated warrior, Stavros retreats to the Louisiana bayou. Better to be alone than put anyone else in danger.

Then he senses a presence in his woods. It’s a woman stalking wildlife with her camera, a woman who has unwittingly put herself on Hades’ radar—for she is Stavros’ mate.

Wildlife photographer Toni Richards doesn’t need any man to be her hero. But when three suspicious men try to kidnap her, she’s shocked when the rare jaguar she’s been tracking leaps to her rescue—then morphs into a man. An incredibly sexy man with a jaguar tattoo snarling across his back.

Despite his better judgment, Stavros can’t keep his distance, even though he knows that when the time comes, much will have to be sacrificed to foil Hades’ plans. Stavros prays Toni will forgive him for what he must do to protect her soul.

Warning: A shapeshifting warrior, an intrepid photographer, and a vengeful god generate enough heat in the bayou to send the entire state up in flames.
