Spotlight on the Hero

I've lived a long time alone in the bayou. I don't want or need anyone beyond the occasional roll in the hay with a woman willing to match my sexual needs. She'll never be left wanting physically. If anything she'll want more than one night...more than I'm able to give.

Lately, my wolf hunts have become more aggressive; I've spent more time near the swamp, alone and in solitude. I can't explain this primal dominance that has taken hold of me the past few months.

Damn, Ethan's alpha ass! Ever since his visit to ask me to join him--to help start a new pack--I've felt unsettled. I've started dreaming of a woman I've never met, one with a scent I can't get out of my head.

And then, while I was in town, I caught a whiff of your alluring smell. Now that I know the scent is real and not just a figment of my imagination, I'll use every werewolf and vampire power I have to possess you. Here and now is all I want. I'll never put myself in a position to feel the need to protect again. Losing one family was enough.

Maybe once I've tasted you, chére, this gnawing need to mate will abate...

CAJUN NIGHTS

Samantha Winston, Patrice Michelle, & Annie Windsor

"Le Mystere" by Winston tells the tale of Jesse Dubois, a lost soul who was killed 25 years ago. When Luke finds this beautiful woman in the swamp, he is overwhelmed with something strange... What is the mystery that brings Luke and Jesse together?...

Rafael--half wolf, half-vampire--finds his life is about to change in "Embrace the Moon" by Michelle. When Roxanne suddenly enters his dreams and life, Rafael is enthralled. But what will Roxanne do when she finds out Rafael's many secrets?

"Malediction" by Windsor has a twist that will shock you, while tying the anthology together. FBI profilers Kiri Aukland and Chank Arceneaux have special skills. By working together it is hoped they'll find a serial killer...

See how an ancient mam'bo leads all three couples to passion in this remarkable anthology. Kudos to three great authors who put their talent to use by writing three great stories that tie together nicely. All things Cajun and vodoun in this anthology will entice and excite readers."

EMBRACE THE MOON by Patrice Michelle

Rating: 5 Stars
Heat Rating: O

"...I can't express how much I loved this story. I love paranormals and anything to do with vampires or werewolves. Imagine my delight to find out that Rafael is not only a werewolf but a vampire too. Two alpha personalities in one man are totally intense. The internal battle that Rafael fights with himself brings passion and tension to the mix. Roxanne is a spunky woman with a checkered past, and you see glimpses of the life she led before. I think this book is a must read for any lover of paranormals..."

"...Rafael Delacroix is part werewolf and part vampire and is outcast and solitary for he can't forgive himself for the past. Roxanne Waters has just moved to town and found trouble. When she discovers her boss' son is stealing money from the business she finds herself in danger. Escaping into the swamp she finds Rafael and he agrees to help her. The attraction between Rafael and Roxanne is intense but Rafael is afraid and must learn to trust himself before he can make Roxanne his lupina mate...

These wonderful stories are all tied together by an old voudon mam'bo named Rubie Breaux who uses her powers in all three stories to help and lead the heroes and heroines to the answers they need. The only problem is every time there is a price to be paid for her help and the help of the loa's that give her the information. These stories have something for everyone ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and ancient voudon races. Each story is hot and intense and will fulfill all of your fantasies."

Anthology overall rating: 4 Hearts

CAJUN NIGHTS: EMBRACE THE MOON

"...Let's go into the Atchafalaya Basin, through the dark murky swamp and meet a
couple of interesting characters who definitely demand attention. Rafe
is...words cannot describe that man, but maybe this will give you an idea. He's the
sinfully rich chocolate that you indulge in when no one is around. The kind you
don't share with anyone, including your best friend. Roxanne is smart,
beautiful, and packs a punch. When Rafe and Roxanne come together the sparks fly,
the sex sizzles, and the swamp gets even hotter, if that's possible. EMBRACE THE
MOON is definitely one story that is not to be missed...

In CAJUN NIGHTS, Ms. Winston, Ms. Michelle, and Ms. Windsor add their own
unique voices and come together to write an anthology that will make your head
spin. Each tale has a hero and heroine worthy of one another, and the
descriptions are vivid enough that I slapped my arm a couple of times thinking a
mosquito had bitten me. I could hear the sounds of the owls and the insects buzzing;
I could even hear the swish of a bull gator's tail as he glided softly through
the water. This anthology contains sex, and lots of it, but more than that
it's filled with emotional characters and great storylines. Don't miss out on
CAJUN NIGHTS. You will be sorry if you do..."

"...Embrace the Moon is a wow-inspiring story. Author Patrice Michelle gives us a story filled with action and very steamy sex. Her hero is a man you just have to love and want. While he is sinfully sexy he is also a man who is made up of very many intriguing layers. The heroine is one you have to admire for her very spunky nature. She was a strong woman who was able to overcome a shady past in order to better her future. Embrace The Moon is one great story that should not be missed."

"...Roxanne and Rafael have some really hot love scenes together and I could not put this one down!  Rafael was one interesting hunk with some hang-ups that Roxanne had to help him over-come. These characters were so great to read about that I was wishing they had a full-length book all to themselves. Beware! This one could singe your eyelashes!"
