NEW MOON
by Rebecca York
Berkley Sensation
March 6, 2007

It’s in one man’s true nature to remain by the side of the woman he loves, rather than live without her in his own universe…

Landscape architect Logan Marshall is out for a jog-in his werewolf form-when a trap catches his paw. As it saps his strength, he is saved by another werewolf, who-to Logan’s amazement-is female.

Female werewolves aren’t supposed to exist. But Rinna is a shapeshifter from another dimension who’s traveled through a portal to this world. And the trap that ensnared Logan was set by her former captor, and meant for her…

But as soon as Rinna and Logan touch, an electrifying bond forms between them. Unable to resist his desire for Rinna, in all her many forms, Logan will have to earn her trust, and travel through both dimensions to save her-and earth-from the wrath of her enemy…

ABOUT REBECCA YORK

Ever since she can remember, Rebecca York has loved making up stories full of adventure, romance and suspense. As a child she corralled her friends into adventure games or acted out romantic suspense stories with a cast of dolls. But she never assumed she could be an author, because she couldn’t spell. Her life changed, however, with the invention of the word processor and spelling checker–and the help of her husband, Norman Glick, who spots spelling errors from fifty paces away. She has authored or co-authored over 60 romantic suspense novels, many with paranormal elements.

REVIEWS

Logan Marshall is out for a run in his werewolf form when he is caught in a vicious trap that saps not only his strength but also his intellect and consciousness. He is saved by a female werewolf who cajoles him into changing form and frees him from the mysterious trap, which had actually been laid to trap her. Female werewolves don’t exist in Logan’s world (a world that could be our own), but Rinna is from a parallel universe. That world descended into feudalism and came to be ruled by the cruel Falcone, who has been using Rinna’s paranormal talents for his own gain. Using the portals between worlds, Falcone has plans to invade and conquer Logan’s world. Rinna, a slave in her realm, finds Logan’s world horribly confusing and dangerous but Logan himself incredibly enticing. York’s combination of werewolves, romance, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy is a winning one.
– Booklist

I really have this thing for werewolves. I also am a big fan of romantic suspense. Rebecca York is a master at combining the two. New Moon is the latest page turner in the heart pounding Moon series.

Logan is so tender and compassionate that I can’t imagine any other for the strong yet cautious Rinna. Logan is a hero we can all lust for! It’s not just the romance that will keep you squirming on the edge of your seat, New Moon is very suspenseful. I was so torn. I couldn’t wait for them to be out of danger but I didn’t want the story to be over either.
– Joyfully Reviewed

NEW MOON is an excellent read, one fans of Ms. York’s Moon series are sure to devour. While this book is part of a series it can easily stand alone, I will add that Rinna first appeared in Ms. York’s previous story SHADOW OF THE MOON. Rinna and Logan have a strong connection that is wonderful to watch. I do want to tell readers that Rinna’s past offers a secret that some may find a little hard to handle, however I felt Ms. York dealt with the situation with grace and realism. I was eager to find out if Logan and Rinna could win this battle.

Author Rebecca York is a master at writing stories full of suspense, sensuality, romance, and action. Fans of paranormal romances will want to pick up NEW MOON today. Thank you Ms. York for giving me hours of enjoyment in another splendid story.
– The Romance Readers Connection

SENSATIONAL! Once again Ms. York creates another fabulous tale that continues on with her Moon series, keeping her plots delightfully refreshing and the romance sinfully wicked. Fascinating characters that you get to know, and some secondary characters you may already know, this story takes off at lightening speed and it does not stop until the very end. Cleverly laid out plots and several twists and turns keeps this story energized, while the romance keeps you tantalized. As a fan of Ms. York I cannot say enough about this series, an absolute must read.
– Coffee Time Romance

NEW MOON is a refreshing story told with a new light and a few twists I couldn’t see coming. Ms. York brought some wonderfully strong characters into this book with Logan and Rinna. Their love is a pure and caring love that brings tears to the reader’s eyes. She reprised some of our beloved characters from previous books and they helped to complete this story. NEW MOON is a definite “must read” in this clever series!

VISIONS OF HEAT
by Nalini Singh
Berkley Sensation
March 6, 2007

Go deeper into the world of the Psy and the changelings, where a gifted woman sees passion in her future-a passion that is absolutely forbidden by her kind…

Used to cold silence, Faith NightStar is suddenly being tormented by dark visions of blood and murder. A bad sign for anyone, but worse for Faith, an F-Psy with the highly sought after ability to predict the future. Then the visions show her something even more dangerous-aching need…exquisite pleasure. But so powerful is her sight, so fragile the state of her mind, that the very emotions she yearns to embrace could be the end of her.

Changeling Vaughn D’Angelo can take either man or jaguar form, but it is his animal side that is overwhelmingly drawn to Faith. The jaguar’s instinct is to claim this woman it finds so utterly fascinating and the man has no argument. But while Vaughn craves sensation and hungers to pleasure Faith in every way, desire is a danger that could snap the last threads of her sanity. And there are Psy who need Faith’s sight for their own purposes. They must keep her silenced-and keep her from Vaughn…

Yes, this is an Out of the Blogosphere tour, but it’s also much more than that. I read this book and loved it!

I was hugely lucky to be given an ARC of Susan Grant’s MY FAVORITE EARTHLING last fall and I can’t rave about this novel enough. The writing is witty and fresh and the characters hooked me from the beginning. Jared is an amazing hero! I loved him immediately.

It’s awesome that as wonderful as Jared is, he doesn’t overshadow Keira who is an excellent character in her own right, more than a match for Jared. I liked her so much. Their chemistry together is the stuff great books are made of. The wedding night scene is tender, funny, and hot!

I love, love, love futuristic and science fiction romances, and there are so few of them. Thankfully, Susan is still going strong and writing fabulous books like this one!

Try it! Bet ya love it!

MY FAVORITE EARTHLING
by Susan Grant
HQN
March 1, 2007

Even a Goddess can have a bad day…
Keira, warrior-queen of the galaxy, is as famous for her beauty as she is for avoiding marriage. But when an upstart little planet called Earth threatens her world with its fleet of spaceships, the fate of her people lies in her hands. She must bind herself to a barbarian from the rogue world…or face the destruction of her own!

She’s what he never knew he always wanted...
Confirmed bachelor Jared Jasper knew the trick Earth pulled on the alien invaders wasn’t a permanent solution. What they needed was a peace treaty. It just never occurred to him that he would wind up on the bargaining table. Playing the pushover groom to a mouthy alien babe who knows how to use a plasma sword is not exactly his idea of fun. But with six-billion people depending on him, he doesn’t have much choice–sleep with the enemy…or bring on interstellar war.

Strange bedmates? You bet. But this alliance may turn into a romance the likes of which this galaxy’s never seen!

A young human woman is found ritualistically murdered in a downtown Necropolis hotel. It is up to Caine Valorian, a 200-year-old vampire, and his Otherworld Crime Unit to solve the unusual crime, and quickly before the human press can jump onto the story and cause a panic. To add to their already tough case, a new member, Eve Grant, transfers to their lab at the request of the mayor. Not only is she green and eager to impress the boss, but she’s human. The first human ever to work in an Otherworld unit. The mayor thought it would be great press especially now with the strange human murder.

Caine has his work cut out for him, especially with his unruly team who don’t appreciate any help from a human. Not only is this the toughest case of his career, but he’s unusually attracted to the new girl, which can only cause trouble for them all. However, as they sink deeper and deeper into the workings of the case, Caine and Eve become closer and closer. So close that neither of them can see past each other and at the real happenings behind the scenes. The more they poke and prod at the case, the more they realize that something is going on, that this murder is only one step toward a greater purpose. Someone in the Otherworld community is calling on dark forces, in a plot to wipe out the entire human population.
