MOON DANCE - Blurb
A quick pick up and a night of sex was just what Raya was
looking for. Only meeting Amari set her insides on fire and she had to have
more of this Indian beauty. Witches and shifters aren’t meant to bond only Raya
and Amari can’t ignore the chemistry flowing between them. Trouble strikes the
lovers when a past trauma hits Raya and Amari’s mother could be to blame.
Finally Raya has a chance to get even with the old witch, who destroyed her
life. When that revenge reveals that Raya’s past holds secrets she wasn’t aware
of, it throws into question everything she believes in. Can the lovers unite to
help Raya find her true self or is it all too late?
Under the glare of the full moon, friends and foes alike
meet their destiny…
Wolf shifter Misty never thought she would rescue a damsel
in distress, but when she stumbles across a bloodied girl on her run, she has
to act fast. An action she ought to regret when that girl turns out to be Were
shifter, and thus an enemy of her pack.
Feelings cannot be denied, however, and when she meets Sofya
again, the girls give into their attraction for each other.
The path to true love is never smooth and tensions rise
further when Sofya's father is implicated in a shifter death.
Will this news tear the two lovers apart, and turn them into
foes or can the moon bind them together to work out the truth?
Kay's Review
Moon Dance
This story starts off with two friends Misty and Raya at a bar when they spot Amari. They both want to chat her up but Raya is quicker off the mark. Amari is recovering from her last relationship and is not interested in starting another one. When she meets Raya, the attraction is strong and not easy to ignore. Of course Raya is not one to give up easily but as they pursue a relationship things about Raya's past come to light that could scupper their budding relationship
I enjoyed this quick read. Both Raya and Amari are strong women who are not afraid of taking a plunge. Their chemistry sizzled and I loved reading about the mystery surrounding Raya's history and hope to read more about it in the next book.
Moon Bound
This book pick up after the end of Moon Dance. Misty is a wolf shifter and while out running she find a girl who had been attacked by vampires. She rescues her and takes her to Amari who helps to revive the girl and take her to a clinic. But when she returns to visit, she discovers the girls family has taken her home.
Sofya is a Werewolves and part of a clan that have distanced themselves from Shifters. When she wakes up she cannot forget the guardian angel (Misty) who saved her life. Their paths cross again but things become complicated when it is discovered that Sofya's family may have a hand in the death of Raya's father. Will their relationship survive the war that is brewing?
I have to say I enjoyed this story more than the first book. We get to understand the mystery surrounding Raya's history a lot more and the sense of suspense is a lot more developed in this story. Of course Misty and Sofya together was totally hot too.
These two stories can be read as standalone but I recommend buying them together and reading them back to back. A great way to spend Saturday evening.

Excerpt
– Adult
"Good morning Amari. Sorry I couldn't wait," Raya said. She pulled off her sneakers one by one, followed by her sports socks.
Amari held out her hand, inviting her across. Raya's eyes lit up and she began to walk across the shallow water. Suddenly she stopped and looked down at her feet, confusion written across her face. Raya backed away, out of the water.
"You okay?"
"Err…yeah. Why don't you come across here?" Raya suggested.
Amari did not hesitate, pulling up her dress to skip across the cool water, leaving her sandals behind. Once across, Raya grabbed her hand and pulled her into her. Both girls looked at each other. Raya’s deep green eyes shone back at Amari.
"You're beautiful…" began Raya, but she was silenced by Amari who pulled Raya's head down in a rough kiss. Instantly there was a connection, sparks of energy flew around them and Amari's body began to heat up. Lips meshed and tongues played, dancing and teasing. Their hands explored and grabbed each other's bodies to get closer, wanting no space between them.
Ray moaned into Amari's mouth. Amari pulled away.
"Sorry, did I hurt you?"
"Are you kidding me?" Raya said, pulling her back into a kissing that almost hurt with the fierce passion that was behind it. Amari's mouth sizzled against Raya's; never had she experienced something this strong straight away. She pulled at Raya's T-shirt, wanting nothing between them; skin on skin was her desire. Raya helped her out by holding her arms up and Amari pulled the T-shirt off. Underneath she wore a simple cotton bra that cradled her breasts. Amari slid off one strap and kissed the soft skin of her neck, then shoulder. She felt Raya's hand massage the back of her head, keeping her in that position. So she likes to be kissed there. With a new lover, it was always a learning experience; what they liked and didn’t like was stored in your memory. She was enjoying learning about Raya. She pulled down one cup to reveal a perfect breast with an erect pink nipple. Raya wasted no time: she sucked it straight away and then used her teeth to bite gently. This released another moan from Raya's lips. Amari smiled, looking up at Raya.
"You like a little pain?" Amari carried on sucking Raya's breasts with gentle bites. She moved her hand down Raya’s front and edged it into her joggers and down to her panties, which to Amari's delight were a little moist. She rubbed Raya's mound, letting the tips of her fingers slide down further. Raya spread her legs a little; that meant Amari could reach further. Massaging that pussy was not enough, she wanted to taste. Amari grabbed Raya's joggers, pulled them all the way down and then knelt at her feet.
Raya's legs were long and toned, probably with all that jogging. Amari stroked them up and down, dragging her nails closer and closer to her bare pussy that glistened, inviting her to taste.

PG:
"You're stalling, so it must mean it's time for me to leave." Sofya spun on the spot, and Misty swiftly caught her arm."Let's take a seat." Misty pointed to the sofa and Sofya nodded her agreement.
"Raya's father was killed when she was young, and it's all messed up." Misty took a sip. "He had land and somehow the local Were community were involved."
"My father had nothing to do with that…how could you think such a thing?" Sofya put the cup down and made to get up. Misty reached across and grabbed her arm.
"I know, I know he didn't. It was all before his time. But if the land was taken without proper permission then Raya has a right to claim it."
"Wait, are you talking about the land that Wylan wants? He keeps bugging my dad to sign it over to him."
"You know about all this?" Misty sat up, alert to every detail.
"Sure, I know there's something going on with some land issue, and I heard Wylan and dad talking about how the Vamps were warning us or something…wait." Sofya paused, looking into her cup.
"What?"
"Wylan was talking about the night I was attacked and how the Vamps were sending a warning. I didn't get it at the time."
"Hold on, that makes sense. Raya and Amari have worked out that somehow the Shifters blamed the Witches who had some involvement in a curse on the Weres. It looks like the Vamps have been using both communities for their own reasons."
"Oh boy, not the stupid legend of how a powerful witch cursed the Weres who are now bound to the moon? Come on people." She rolled her eyes. "Sheesh."
"Each community holds on to their own beliefs and legends. For some it's what holds people together, since you know a common enemy. You and I are supposed to be enemies, but when you get rid of all that bad history we are two people who love each other."
"What? You love me? Seriously, like proper love?" Sofya's eyes widened.
Misty suddenly realized what she had said. There was no going back now.
"Y...Yes I do. I've never felt like this with anyone." Misty looked down at her hands, too scared to look up and stare Sofya in the face. She was worried at what she'd see. Rejection was not something she wanted to feel ever again.
"I love you too."
The words she longed to hear came as a whisper. Misty looked up and saw tears shining in the eyes of the woman she loved.
"Really?" Misty couldn't believe it. No-one had ever said that back to her.
