Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

4 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

I have missed this series, and am so excited to finally get another taste! Originally published in the Blood Red Kiss<\/i> anthology, this novella is #2.5 in the MoonBound Clan Vampires<\/i> series and is now available to purchase on its own. It\u2019s a great read with a unique, sexy and heartfelt romance and fantastic paranormal action, and is a great addition to the series.<\/p>\n

Vampire loner, Lobo, has been seen in glimpses in the previous books of the series, and I was so excited to finally get his story. As a rare and feared \u2018skinwalker\u2019, Lobo can shift into other forms, and was banished from the MoonBound Clan 12 years previously for doing just that. Alone and at his lowest point, he came across an injured wolf and nursed her back to health. Tehya has been his solace and constant companion since that day, and the two share a special bond. So when she is injured once again, he\u2019ll risk his own life to save her from death, taking her into the heart of MoonBound territory to get help.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to Lobo, Tehya is actually a vampire who shifted into wolf form shortly after being turned and has been unable to shift back. She has grown accustomed to life as an animal, even though she\u2019s desperately in love Lobo and is unable to do anything about it. So when she wakes in human form in the middle of a clan of vampires, she\u2019s absolutely terrified and she runs to the one man she can trust.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great setup for a love story, and the connection that Lobo and Tehya have always shared is still very much there when they finally meet as vampires, although now enhanced with a healthy dose of insta-lust. And like other books from this author there is plenty of hotness to be had, along with a gorgeous and intense romance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had nothing left to claim as my own.\u201d
\n\u201cNow you have something to come back to? Something to claim?\u201d
\n\u201cYeah,\u201d she murmured. \u201cThis life. You. You\u2019re mine.\u201d
\nHis grin made her heart soar. \u201cJust promise you won\u2019t pee on me like you do to everything else you consider yours.\u201d
\nShe probably turned a dozen shades of red, but she played it cool. \u201cThere are other ways to mark my territory,\u201d she whispered.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But the skinwalkers are feared among the vampires, and after leaving mayhem behind them, they are being hunted. It will take all of Lobo and Tehya\u2019s skill and cunning to keep each other safe, and to fight for a future together. Because now that they\u2019ve found each other, neither of them have any intention of letting go.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not leaving you.\u201d Her hot breath whispered across his ear, and his groin tightened. \u201cI\u2019d rather die with you than die alone.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I loved this book. It\u2019s a quick read, but is full of all of the action, excitement and sexy romance that I love about this author\u2019s writing. The paranormal aspects are really well developed and form a great basis to the story, and I loved that we got to see the characters from previous books as the action all unfolded. And with the overarching story arc continuing to build, I can\u2019t wait for more from this series.<\/p>\n

4 stars.<\/p>\n
