Tangled Moon

Sometimes you have to break the rules. Sometimes you have to let go of the past. And sometimes you have to accept the impossible.

Danielle Howard likes her life, as strange as it is. For her, this is as good as it gets. Who needs things like family, a home, and romance, anyway? She spends her days as a mortal woman, and her nights as a wolf, killing vampires for a living. What could be better than that? Well, maybe there is one thing missing...

Danielle thought one day she and her hunting partner, Lothar, would be more than friends. But some things just can’t be. Lothar is next in line for the High Council seat, and that means he is way out of her league. She’s talked herself into doing her job, with or without his love. He’s still her alpha, and that has its own appeal.

Nick Shepard knew there was more to life. He’d just never been able to find it. When the sexy Danielle comes into his life, everything changes. All he’s ever wanted is to know who he is, and why he’s different. Being unprepared for the truth isn’t going to stop him from embracing it. Whether Danielle is a part of his future or not, he’s not sure, but he knows one thing... He is never going back.

The Tangled Moon Saga: Lothar, Nick and Danielle are all really interesting characters and the strained relationship between them gives this series a solid foundation to work from. As is the norm with this author’s books, you know from the beginning that you are in for some serious surprises and she doesn’t let you down. There is plenty of action in this novel to keep you whipping through pages, but she also gives you the emotional aspects of her characters and their relationships to one another. Even the side characters come off as important and integral to the overall plot. ~Ionia Martin, book reviewer for Readful Things

I've read a few paranormal romance books. I really enjoyed this one. The characters have well-rounded backgrounds and the werewolf physiology and politics are different from any other book I've read. It adds an interesting complication to a werewolf’s love life. ~Goodreads Reviewer, Rose Davis

…He caught up her hands, stilling her. “Easy,” he mouthed.

“I-don’t-want-to,” she panted, writhing against him.

He laughed. It wasn’t arrogant. His eyes were still black from his own excitement, but his expression had softened. Slowly, he released her hands and drew her back into him. He kissed her again. She was shaking. Violently.

Too much, she thought. Too pent up for too long. She could try and fool herself, like she had for years, but she definitely had needs, and they’d gone long unmet. Danielle worked one hand free and tried to get at the buttons on his shirt. She’d told Nick once that she was no man’s territory, but oh, God, she wanted to belong to this one. The strength of it scared her.

“Lothar . . .” She came up on her toes, her chin lifted to him. “Fix it like you fix everything. Fix me, please.”

He caught her face in both hands, kissed her forehead. “Easy,” he said. “I need you to be calm.”

She jerked back, out of his arms. She was shaking and gasping for air. “You’re such an idiot.”

“You need to hear me.”

“Oh, I hear you. I’ve heard you longer than anyone. And I’ve heard all I can take.” Danielle felt her mouth filling with venom.

He shook his head. “So much you still do not know.”

“Then teach me. What’s wrong with me that you don’t teach me.”

With a growl he grabbed her, pulling her close and knocking the wind out of her. Even though they were the same species, he was proportionally stronger.

Danielle wasn’t sure what had happened after that, but her fangs were in him, sinking under the skin of his neck. She felt her venom release into his body so hard it hurt her.

Assaulted by the taste of blood in her mouth and the sudden strain on her venom glands, she pulled free and stumbled back a step.

She’d bitten him. Worse than that, she’d Marked him…
