Review of SHADOW CAT: A STRIPED ONES NOVEL
SHADOW CAT: A STRIPED ONES NOVEL
Reena Jacobs
Ericson Randall, the CEO of Nora Tech Pharmaceuticals, needs for the scientific expedition to the rainforest of Malayasia to go without a hitch, because his position in the company may depend on it. Unfortunately, the researchers are thrown out of the country after destroying a section of rainforest. When his assisstant, Bryan Hayes, suggests that Eric journey with him to Malaysia, Eric sees a way out of a sticky situation at home and a way to straighten out his Malaysian problems.
Berani, a tiger shifter, dislikes the intruders in her forest, but when she spies Eric, Berani is fascinated. Eric is, also, drawn to Berani. When Eric gets too close, Berani reacts by scratching him. Leading to a tumultuous courtship. Meanwhile, some evil beings pose a danger to Berani's people and the researchers.
Wow! I loved this book. Ms. Jacobs creates an imaginative, complex world filled with interesting, multi-faceted characters. The imagery is vivid and this reader soon became engrossed in the story. Ericson, who only lives for his business, soon, realizes there is more to life after meeting Berani. Berani, who tries to help her people, learns she doesn't have to do everything by herself. Interwoven throughout the book is the message of conservation, which really struck a chord with me. There are, also, some vicious creatures, which threaten everything, that Berani and Ericson hold dear. The ending is wonderfully exciting, and action-packed, and I have my fingers crossed, that Ms. Jacobs writes another book set in this spectacular world.
NOTE: I received this copy in return for an impartial review.

Review of DRINK OF ME
DRINK OF ME
Jacquelyn Frank
Kensington Publishing, November 2010
ISBN: 978-1-4201-0985-6
Reule, the Prime of the Sange people, takes his Pack on a hunt for one of their pack members, who has been captured by the Jakals, a race that gets pleasure from the torture of others. When Reule and his Pack find the Jakals in a dilapidated building, they, also, find a woman, who has been beaten and is in bad shape. Reule, whose people have been persecuted, doesn't know whether he can trust her but can't seem to help himself from feeling an attachment towards her. After Reule gives her the name Mystique, they become closer, but is the woman as innocent as she appears?
DRINK OF ME is a marvelous paranormal romance with vivid world-building and compelling characters. Ms. Frank lured me into her world and kept me entranced throughout the entire story. She creates a world, which is, at times harsh, but beautiful. Reule is a great hero, who is the leader of his people and, therefore, has great responsibilities. He has overcome much and is, almost, afraid to love. Mystique is fragile, but determined. I enjoyed the fact, that she overcomes Reule's protectiveness with her fierce need to help. These two are a wonderful compliment to each other, and their romance makes for a sigh-worthy read.
I don't know, if this is the beginning of a series, but I sure hope it is. Ms. Frank captivated me, and I really want to return to her world and find out what happens to the other Pack members.
NOTE: I reviewed this book for the PNR group. I gave an impartial review. http://paranormalromance.org/reviews/

Giveaway of Siren's Surrender
Refusing to embrace her mermaid heritage, Gwen Lonike prefers to live as a human. All she wants it to run her hotel in Port Rock Maine, in peace. But when her sister Tessa returns from the Mediterranean with news that she had inadvertently opened the gateway to a lost mermaid kingdom–and accidentally freed its dangerous queen–Gwen can no longer hide behind her idyllic life.
Covert-ops agent Blake Whittaker is far from happy when he’s assigned to trail paranormal activity back to him hometown, where he can’t escape crushing memories he’d rather forget. But when he meets and falls for Gwen, he knows he can’t cut and run. Yet how long can he hide his true mission from her? And how long can Gwen and her sisters remain safe from a nemesis bent on their destruction–and from Blake’s own superiors, whose ultimate mission could prove the greatest threat of all?
