Blurb/Summary:

With unwanted lands thrust upon him by King George III, Alessandro Pantera feels caged. His nightly ritual of pacing the castle walls in panther form leads him into a fight to save a beautiful woman from harm. The moment he first sees her, first touches her, a raw, primal desire to claim her ignites within him. But a man such as he, the Black Knight, deserves no woman of his own.

Rescued from bandits, Rose Smythe lands in the arms of a male shapeshifter. As black panther and as man, he’s fierce and intimidating to all who cross his path. But not to Rose. His presence initiates her inner white panther’s need to mate—and her heart is set on Alessandro.

A heated night of passion neither can resist bonds them as eternal mates. A macabre twist of fate places Alessandro in the battle of his life. Kill or be killed in the fight to save his mate from the demon Mephistopheles, the creator of the darkness within his soul—the Black Knight.

Publisher’s Note: This story was previously published elsewhere and has been revised for Ellora’s Cave.

Review:

Night Prey by Tara Nina took me back in time. The action packed story kept me entertained. Alessandro was the perfect hero who thought himself unworthy and Rose the heroine perfect by her strength and constitution. Alessandro’s duty to protect at all costs endeared me, while I totally fell for his cousin Kade and his smarting retorts. I didn’t think Rose would show him her secret and I didn’t know that secret would be a major contributor later on. As the story moved on, I got a glimpse of the dark foreboding setting, and the darkness lurking in Alessandro’s mind.

The villain did a good job in creating limitless cliff-hangers where I had to know what was going to happen next. I only hoped Rose and Alessandro would get together and form a long lived future. The King’s last missive made me sniffle, for the measure of a man was shown in those endearing words from one not blood related.

Blurb/Summary:

Emma Jean Dupree is a woman on the verge of turning forty. Repeated dreams of having sex with two men keep waking her at night. She takes it as a sexual sign and decides to pursue the two gorgeous men in her life.

David Delaney’s a police detective with boyish, all-American charm and good looks. But he has a straitlaced sexual nature that needs Emma’s experienced hand to undo. Earl Lightfoot is every woman’s Native American dreamboat of a hunk. He has a secret that Emma uncovers with an innocent slap. Earl likes it rough—and wants to be dominated.

Separately, she samples their sexual attributes only to discover she wants them both. Will they comply and fulfill her fantasy? It takes a strong-willed woman to convince two men to love her as much as she loves them.

Two men, two cocks, oh my.

Review:

Emma has decided she is done waiting and is ready for her two men who are recurring in her thoughts and dreams to help her out with her situation. But she isn’t quite sure how she’s going to convince them especially since she’s not sure they even have the same interest in her as she does them.

David is ready to make a move and he doesn’t want to wait a moment longer, with Emma sending all the right signals he is going to step up to the plate and rock her world. Earl knows the things he feels for Emma will for sure be the death of her and him and he should know, but with the hidden secrets he keeps buried there is no way he can risk the another woman he loves.

When Emma tells the two men in her life she wants more and wants it together at the same time they have to decide if they are willing to share the woman they love or walk away from her forever.

Double Dilemma is a hot erotic story with very hot men and may even involve a tortured soul, but with the right kind of loving things may have a way of redeeming the ones who least are expecting it.

Tara Nina has written an exciting story with real characters that have to come to terms worth life’s obstacles for the name of love. This is a great read, and definitely a story I will choose to read again and again.

Blurb/Summary:

Weylin Anthropos is a Lykoian with anger issues and a demon in his past that haunts his soul. He’s a Night Ranger, one of the elite protector’s of the Lykoian clans. Without the backing of the council, Weylin sets out to find his brother. The trail leads him to Mississippi and a village that many Lykoians would rather forget. Ghosts of the past linger on these hallowed grounds but are disturbed by an intruder…an enemy from his ancestry. One he must face and defeat if he is to survive and find his brother.

Long and lethal, a charcoal gray wolf from an unfamiliar clan interferes in his surveillance. Her presence toys with his mind, body, and soul. Where did she come from? How did she find him? And most of all, what did she want?

Review:

Following another brother from the Anthropos family of werewolves, Night Ranger's Moon concentrates on Weylin, and his mission to find his youngest brother, Nick, who has gone missing while on a mission, set by the pack Council.

The first half the book is essentially a romance story; and Tara pitches the growing attraction between Weylin and Zeva at the right level. Neither character is at a place in their lives where they want a soul mate, let alone have it interfere with their respective missions.

As always, that true twin flame attraction wins out and together they face the threat of Leopold, one they believed to have been neutralized years before. The love scenes between the two as they come to terms with their new found bond are highly intimate, but not overtly coarse or crude.

The second half of the story further explores Leopold’s drive for survival, and the interbred abomination he seems to have become, half vampire, half werewolf, all twisted. Although the two ‘halves’ of the story deal with different aspect of the whole, there is enough intertwining to make the story flow, and at no point did I feel like they were disjointed.

I’d be happy to read other books in this series.
