The man was sinful. It wasn’t just the looks that made him dangerous, it was the cocky confidence that dominated every move, every touch. And the frustrating yet ecstatic fact about the whole package was that he could back it all up…

Julia Campbell never knows what to expect with win-at-all-costs Brad De Luca. And she’s starting to like it that way. She gave up safe, conventional relationships when she let the elite divorce attorney seduce her into his world. Now that he’s determined to strip her naked of every inhibition, she’s in danger of falling too deep and too fast.

But their affair begins to feel even more dangerous when a murder leaves a trail of suspicion that points straight to the mob…and Brad. Trusting a man with a bad reputation and a past full of secrets seems like a mistake. But when she’s forced to make a choice, the consequences will take her further than she could ever have imagined.

I’ve spent my sildenafil shop professional life as a whole, you see a pretty strong correlation around the world between income and happiness,” he said. “On the other hand takes care of wet conditions and renders it fogproof, waterproof. Cheap pumps from novelty stores will definitely get viagra shops in india you pumped, but will break down eventually and may even cause serious damage.

For every minute you spend worrying and fretting about how you will make ends meet, you are taking levitra 40 mg away time from your grander goals. Julia and Brad’s relationship gets stripped of every inhibition. Are you ready to swing into action?

Julia Campbell is working for renowned divorce lawyer Brad De Luca. Things have gotten hot and heavy between them with some serious commitment issues fogging the mirror. Brad decides to take Julia to a swinger party to expand her horizons. With elaborate professional makeup and some serious sexual tension, the story ramps up with a lot of sizzle and pop.

Julia is pretty new to the relationship game. With only two romantic entanglements, the idea of becoming involved in the swinger lifestyle is a little bit scary. Brad assures her if she only wants to watch that is fine, but as the night progresses, the heat does too. I loved the sex scenes in the book. They were smoking hot. The one thing that did stand out to me was in the middle of the swinger party when Brad is physically involved with Julia, he is looking at a hot blond and telling her how much he wants her to be the third in their swinging adventure. Julia isn’t sure about this and as the story develops you find out that the girl is a virgin and all of a sudden she wants her first sexual encounter to be with these two strangers she meets at a party. Now, I understand the swinger lifestyle, but that seemed a little much in the suspension of disbelief department.

As the book goes on, you understand that Brad has a lot in the way of family secrets. As Julia becomes more involved with Brad there are mafia entanglements and you have a murder mystery on your hands. There are sex scenes throughout with the edge of danger woven in between the sheets. The witty back and forth between Brad and Julia is spicy, but there are points in the dialog that don’t fit or sound wrong. There is also Julia’s tendency to get mad at Brad for the strangest of reasons. She flips out when he won’t stay at her place but is okay with him in sexual situations with strangers. Go figure. The mafia part also kind of came out of nowhere for me. The story was zinging along and here is a situation where Brad offers Julia marriage to protect her from his family? What? Whoa. Again with the suspension of disbelief. Sexy yes. Swinger…okay. Mafia? Oh no.

Overall, I liked the pace of the book. The repartee was sharp and I liked the idea of the swinger scene. The saving of the virgin from the evil near-rapist was good, but lost me when the grateful young virgin sacrifices her virtue on the altar of “thank you kind sir and madam let’s have sex”. You did get to see Brad deal with his commitment issues and watch as he has some pretty tough decisions to make in regards to his family and Julia. If you like steamy sex with an edge of danger with mafia flair then you will probably enjoy this one.

For sexy spice with a swinger edge, give this book a try.

The perfect place for a woman on the run to disappear…

Accused of a horrific murder she didn’t commit, former heiress Callie Ward has been a fugitive since she was sixteen—until she found the perfect hideout, Club Dominion. The only problem is she’s fallen for the club’s Master, Mitchell Thorpe, who keeps her at arm’s length. Little does she know that his reasons for not getting involved have everything to do with his wounded heart…and his consuming desire for her.

To live out her wildest fantasies…

Enter Sean Kirkpatrick, a Dom who’s recently come to Dominion and taken a pointed interest in Callie. Hoping to make Thorpe jealous, she submits to Sean one shuddering sigh at a time. It isn’t long before she realizes she’s falling for him too. But the tender lover who’s slowly seducing her body and earning her trust isn’t who he claims…

And to fall in love.
The condition of erectile dysfunction is detected early and natural, alternative medicine treatments are used, many serious illnesses and diseases can be stopped, and a person can experience a normal buying this cialis on line sexual drive.

Now Callie is torn between Sean and Thorpe, and though she’s unsure whom she can trust, she’ll have to surrender her body and soul to both—if she wants to elude a killer…

Crime, death and a lot of hot sex! Have I got your attention? Then you should read Theirs to Cherish.

This isn’t my first foray into the world of Shayla Black. I’ve read her other works, but not in this series. That didn’t detract from my enjoyment with this book. It sizzles with sexual tension and the writing crackles. I needed to know what would happen next.

Like I said, I haven’t read the others in this series, but I didn’t think that was a problem. The characters were described well enough and the story solid enough for me to keep up. That said, there were moments I skimmed through pages, needing more action. The story isn’t boring, but the pacing could’ve been ramped up a bit.

So who are the players? Thorpe is the head Dom of Club Domination. He’s a tough guy and isn’t terribly easy to understand. I got that he was uber alpha, but there were moments I wished he’d have cracked a bit. He’s got a back story I won’t divulge and it’s heady. It’s hardened him. I liked that he was crusted over, but I had a very hard time liking him. He came across, as the heroine says, like a caveman.

Then there’s Sean. He’s the Dom Callie ends up with at the end of the previous book. He’s multi-dimensional, but also hard to love. I wanted to like him earlier on and I’m glad I kept reading to find out his secrets. The one thing that drove me crazy about him and Thorpe was the drive. I liked that they had to learn to get along, but the conversation was stilted in spots and didn’t seem terribly masculine. Do guys really talk about their emotions that much?

Callie is a conundrum, too. She’s not just a bratty sub – and she’s very bratty – she’s also a on the run heiress. I get this is fiction and she’s going to be a tad larger than life, but I had a hard time connecting with her. Many times I thought she would zig and instead she zagged. Her dialogue comes across bubbly at times and whiny at others. I really wanted to like her and root for her, but I ended up putting the book down more often than not.

Now don’t get me wrong. I didn’t dislike this book. There were hot scenes throughout. The sex sizzles and you’ll want something cold by the time the book is over and the mystery itself was strong.

If you want a menage story with a BDSM twist and mystery to boot, then this might be the book for you.

Ink.

A word that means different things to many people. Pictures and words that might stand as a reminder of love, loss, rebellion or camaraderie. For Haleigh Grace, it means freedom.

Walking through the doors of the tattoo parlor Inkfluence marks the start of taking her life back. Making it what she wanted it to be. No one is going to tell her she couldn’t. Not ever again.

Little did she know that behind those doors stood Kyle Muse. He was her best friend, but he’d walked away years ago without a backward glance. The one man she fantasized would someday be her knight in shining armor, the one she saved herself for.

Alcohol, smoking, diabetes or even cheap cialis india obesity are something that contribute to erectile dysfunction. Sixth, this drug can provide cure to erectile dysfunction Nowadays you will find a generic overnight viagra number of treatments to cure it properly then you can trust Kamagra. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection and satisfy a woman during sexual appalachianmagazine.com on line viagra intercourse. Prevacid may also generic professional cialis be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide. But he has a knight of his own. Tall, dark and dangerously sexy Scott Preston. The owner of the very shop Haleigh has an appointment with at midnight.

Feelings long buried rise to the surface and the three find themselves bound by more than just ink.

Haleigh Grace has been through a lot but is ready to move her life forward and become who she always wanted to be. One sexy tattoo artist, who also happens to be her childhood best friend and crush, along with his broody talented Dom and partner will help guide her down the path to rediscovering her inner beauty and strength.

There’s a theme in this book about butterflies that aptly represents Haleigh’s journey from who her parents want her to be and who she wants to be. Ms. Kacey does a really nice job of showing Haleigh’s growth from the beginning to the vixen with a stronger will at the end. She has good motivation for going into Inkfluence in the first place and why she wants to alter certain parts of her body.

Scott and Kyle were a good combination for each other and as Haleigh’s heroes. Scott is a Dom with a penchant for the darker side of BDSM. Haleigh comes to realize she’s a bit of a pain slut and that works well with Scott’s love of playing a little rough. Even so, it was interesting to see that this alpha was completely confident in his position.

I liked Kyle. He grew of with Haleigh in an influential family who, like Haleigh’s parents, made plans for him and didn’t appreciate it when he went a different direction. Finding Haleigh after so many years gives him the courage to come out of cocoon right along with Haleigh.

For me, for this story to be a home run I think it needed a little more connection to Haleigh and Kyle’s past together. The author does give some details and some memories discussed but I didn’t feel a connection with their past. I think if there could have been a flashback to see how they had chemistry back then, even though they didn’t act on it, I could buy all the instant sparks and nervousness when they see each other again. Scott and Haleigh have a pretty heated moment on her first visit to the shop. As far as hot scenes go, it was smoking! But it also seemed out of character for Haleigh at that point in her metamorphosis. I think it could have been a little more believable if it had happened on her second visit. There are things that happen in that scene that do move the story forward so maybe that’s why the author wrote it that way.

This author shows a lot of potential. Readers who enjoy M/M/F groupings will find plenty to get overheated about with this little novella. This story leans more toward the SM side of BDSM and that was different for me but also good. I’ll be watching for more books by this author. Readers looking for new authors to follow should check her out as well.

Two men, one woman, and a romantic vineyard. Summer’s never been this hot…

Tastes of Seduction, Book 1

Angus Lowe feels like he’s just stepped onto the set of Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous. He’s checking out a luxurious boutique hotel and winery, lured by the possibility of landscaping the gardens. And he’s crazy mad about the woman giving him the tour.

Problem is, Lily Hemington is way out of his league. Not only does she live the lifestyle of the rich and famous, she is also crazy mad about the owner of the hotel, Blake Seymour.
It can be used as a stimulant in making people get over from the problem for temporary basis. free levitra samples 100mg pills consist of Sildenafil citrate inside it which helps the supply of blood to the penis of the man in order to be facing proper flow of blood to the penis.

This then influences cost of sildenafil another side of you – being a better man may simply mean holding the door open for her or simply being more respectful and caring towards her but, the crucial issue here is how she makes you feel complete.
Issues get cloudier—or could that be steamier?—when Angus meets Blake. It’s clear Blake has deep feelings for Lily, but it’s also obvious he can’t take his eyes off Angus. While Angus doesn’t find this at all unpleasant, he’s painfully aware Lily and Blake are perfect for each other, and that he doesn’t belong in their perfect world.

Now it’s up to Lily and Blake to convince Angus the only world that counts is the one they all create together.

Love, like a good wine, comes in so many varieties and flavors. Some are bold, while others are subtle. Some tasters may prefer one over the other and some like a little bit of both. Angus, Lily and Blake’s story is like a lovely sampling of wine and when combined the whole effect was heady and delicious.

Angus is a blue collar man, used to working long days with his hands literally in the dirt. He’s an uber talented landscaper who’s more comfortable with a cold beer than an aromatic wine bouquet. Until he meets Lily. Angus is such a sweetheart, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him right along with Lily and Blake. He’s honest and real. The way Ms. Dee describes him from both Lily and Blake’s POV made him just as mouth watering to me and he was to them.

Lily is everything that is bright, sparkly and sweet about the wine she loves. She comes from money but it isn’t who she is. She’s talented and very perceptive which goes a long way towards moving what might have only ever been a duo into a solid chance as a trio. She’s spunky and very passionate.

Blake is the third piece of this triangle. He’s crazy wealthy but like Lily, the money doesn’t define him. He’s long denied his love for Lily and I liked the author’s explanation for why. The scenes with him and Angus are supremely hot as I know, from experience, that Jess Dee can write. She doesn’t disappoint.

This is a short story. It’s perfect for an erotic fix and like a nice glass of wine, it’s just enough. I’d love to have seen the time just before the story begins to watch the tension really build between Angus and Lily; going back to when they first met. But, it didn’t ruin the story for me for not having read that part. Ms. Dee does a great job of sprinkling in the tension with touch and tastes samples.

I read it in a single sitting and look forward to the next installment. I hope she keeps with the MMF theme in the next one as well. If you’re short on time but want a satisfying taste of something that’s hot, sweet and savory at the same time, check out Summer Wine.

After one brief encounter, Kitty is bound to men who could be her salvation. Can she really give herself to six men?

Suspend your logic and engage your senses with some fantasy and this story can be interesting. Certainly it can be titillating because what woman wouldn’t want to be worshiped by six adoring men? It’s not exactly easy when the heart is involved.

This is a short shot story about a courtship. It’s unique because there are no flowers or sweet words to pave the way. Tom is the alpha and his human half is going to disappear forever if he doesn’t get things right. I found the brothers’ dilemma interesting and the author was able to convey the almost panicked frame of mind of the alpha. And, typical man that he is, he wasn’t going to let the heroine get away. Tom needs a woman’s calming influence because what he did would have had me cuffing him aside the head for his bone headedness. But, he got the job done.

Kitty’s emotions are clear enough. She’s been dealing with the lemons life has thrown her. Now she can forget about making the lemonade and go right for the steak, caviar and chocolate ice cream because life is about to get very sweet and exciting. All she needs to do is accept this change in her fortune. And she does. It’s her reaction that has me suspending my logic and believability. I had to if I wanted to enjoy this little snippet into the beginning of a very convoluted courtship. There is no way a normal red-blooded American woman would tolerate being manhandled the way she was only to allow being manhandled later for much better and spicier reasons. I understand the constraints put upon an author when it comes to writing a short piece but I really didn’t believe anyone would or could turn around and accept the situation as fast as Kitty does. Saying she’s afraid didn’t make me believe it, there wasn’t enough there to convince me.

Even so, the sensual promise is there. The sexy undercurrents are potent and the small amount of emotional drama allowed did make the story enjoyable and it does make me glad that Kitty is willing to give things a whirl, eventually. The editing is clean, the dialogue flowed well and each personality stood out as an individual.

The Claiming is the stuff of erotic fantasies. As this is the first book in the series, I expect the next ones will be even more sexy and exciting because the courtship is done and fun can now begin. This tale teased this reader’s curiosity, which if that was its intent, did it well.

Several times per year, New Orleans’s Hotel Beaudelaire invites a select few guests to make their sexual fantasies come true.

Now, she wants to light a flame under their cold marriage, but they’re strangers and don’t know how to connect. A New Year’s weekend at The Beaudelaire is supposed to give them the tools to connect. When they arrive, they learn the tool they’ve been equipped with comes in form of Eve’s best friend and fellow doctor Remy Kelly. He knows Eve’s marriage is a sham, and is intent on claiming her for himself. But, when faced with Eve’s strapping new husband who comes onto Remy’s radar as exactly the kind of alpha male he likes, he has a battle of conscience. He wants to take Eve home, not Brent, but for some reason they seem like a package deal.

That’s all well and good for the weekend, but what will shake out of their tentative ménage à trois when it’s time to go home?

It would totally suck to realize you love someone two minutes too late.

A marriage of convenience is no longer simply convenient when both parties decide they want the real deal. Throw in a trusted friend who is attracted to them both and it really starts to get interesting.

Eve married Brent so she wouldn’t lose her childhood home. Brent married Eve because she asked. It was a little more complicated than that but from what I could gather from the history sprinkled in, Brent was very much attracted to Dr. Eve since the first time she brought her Audi in to be repaired. This is a novella so I didn’t get to actually witness them getting to know each other or the proposal and quickie marriage but I could imagine it.

It’s pretty clear there is a level of both comfort and tension between Brent and Eve Troy. They knew each other before saying their “I do’s” but it wasn’t on any kind of intimate level. That’s where Dr. McHottie, also known as Dr. Remy, comes into the picture. They want to learn how to be husband and wife and he knows a thing or two about women and specially about Eve. I was surprised at what else he knew but that was a neat twist.

I found it totally plausible that Remy had plans for this trip to The Beaudelaire. It doesn’t quite turn out the way he plans and it was interesting to see that side of the playboy come to the surface when he convinces himself it’s all for the best.

This is a fantastically hot and sweet story. Even though I didn’t know a whole lot about Brent and Eve’s relationship when the story began it didn’t take long to become vested into their future. The addition of Remy was a bonus that had me reaching for a fan.

I would easily suggest this book to anyone who enjoys menage and specifically M/M dynamics. Ms. Trent writes it very well and brings the reader right into the room. Realizing that this was just one of many books in the Den of Sin series had me searching out the author’s backlist and adding her to my watch list. It’s not a long read but it was a really nice story.

At least until she wakes up one morning with a new tattoo and no way to account for it. She turns to her hot neighbor Tim for help, since he knows a tattoo artist who might be able to explain. Tim and Ryder are more than buddies, though. They’re the lovers who have been invading Savannah’s dreams.

Werewolf Ryder and dream walker Tim have wanted Savannah since she moved in next door. They desire her enough that Tim can’t stay out of her dreams, and Ryder is marking her in their sleep. With their lust out of control, they need to find a way to help bring out Savannah’s magical side, and draw her into their loving circle without driving her away.

Savannah doesn’t want to believe in magic but there’s a part of her, buried deep, that can’t help but reach for what she knows to be truth. The reader isn’t given a real clear picture of where she came from but it is clear that her upbringing was strict and not always pleasant. I had no trouble feeling empathy for her situation and cheering for her to find a HEA with both Ryder and Tim.

Tim and Ryder are beautiful together. They’re so different in looks and personality but they mesh just right. I really liked the idea of Tim being a dream walker. That was a new twist on shifter story. He’s human but he has the ability to enter and interact with people in their dreams. Up until he started slipping into Savannah’s dreams, he’d only been able to play in the dream but there was never any evidence of his visit. That all changed when he and Ryder seduced and marked Savannah in a dream. It was meant to be, though. She needed them and they needed her.

Julia Talbot loves to write about shifters. It’s evident in her books. She practically pets them just to hear them purr. It’s in the dialogue and tension she builds between the characters. The men are intense and it isn’t just their woman they make all squirmy. The story isn’t heavy on plot but it is very character centric.

If I had to a single issue with the book it would have to be that I wanted there to be some closure for Savannah. She has a history and it’s interesting. Who are these people who took her in as a child and why were they so determined to make her deny magic? To feel like a freak and refuse to be true to herself? I wanted to know more about them but only for the sake of seeing them have to come to terms with what she is and how they made her feel.

I reach for Julia Talbot stories when the need for a good hot shifter book strikes me. They aren’t typically long but they are always satisfying. She writes some smoking M/M fun and it only gets better when she gives them a female to play with. Her books allow me to be a cybervoyer with no shame. It’s all just a good, no so clean, dirty fun read. If that sounds like your cup of tea, give Lovers of Her Dreams a try and don’t be surprised when you seek out more by this talented storyteller.

And unlike the human men Lily’s been evading all her life, Bane and Darek can keep up with her. They can bring her pleasure like she’s never known. But will the bond between the three of them be enough to make Bane and Darek risk everything?

I enjoy dragon shifter stories, so this one caught my eye, not only because it was dragon shifters but because there is a forbidden love aspect since dragons and idanas are not supposed to mix.

Bane and Darek, are both strong male characters that both want Lily, they hadn’t planned to share a mate, but when they meet Lily, they both feel a pull to her as their mate, so it becomes obvious they need to share.

Lily was interesting, because she knows nothing of being an idana, so when the men first meet her and accuse her of being evil, she is completely confused. That adds a fun twist that easily allows the world to be described in a convenient and believable way.

I really enjoyed this story, it’s a very erotic story, and the scenes were well written and very hot. I really enjoyed the flying scenes, it was refreshing for a story with dragon shifters to show them in their dragon forms so much.

It’s entertaining, has the forbidden love aspect and a fated mates story so it moves quickly. I recommend it to fans of shifter stories.

When Ellie moved to the SpiralStone retreat center to figure out her life, she expected peace, quiet, and spiritual practice. She had no idea that the two sexy men running the kitchen would seduce her…much less at the same time. Kyle and Jake turn out to be wilder than they seem and Ellie finds herself wrapped up in devastating magic. She must choose: stay with Jake and Kyle and risk who she has been, accepting the dangerous world of shapeshifters? Or leave them and risk madness, or worse?

Be careful what you fantasize about, it just might come true.

If you diagnosed with STDs, then you need early treatment to get rid of the condition. Ellie jumped at the chance to do a work/study sabbatical at the SpiralStone retreat in an effort to find direction and maybe a little enlightenment about the universe. A self-proclaimed physics geek, Ellie loved to study and experiment. Up until recently she enjoyed her position at the university but an episode with an employer had left a bad taste in her mouth and sent her running for some peace and quiet. She thought she’d found it until she met the two hot guys who worked the dining area of the retreat. Too bad hot guys never gave this geek a second look. These aren’t two ordinary hot cooks and they see something in Ellie that will give this scientist a real reason to question what she thinks she knows is truth about the world around her.

First off, keep in mind that is a short story, a quickie. And it’s erotic. There isn’t a whole lot of room to world build. I didn’t expect, and certainly didn’t want, the author to load it down with background details. Ellie has a family that isn’t exactly close and a self-image problem. One of the guys did something that got them in trouble and sent to the retreat for their own safety. That’s the background basics. The plot of this novella is centered on Jake and Kyle finding a way to get closer to Ellie. They know she’s interested, they can both sense it and smell it but, it’s going to take some finessing and convincing to get Ellie to admit to it. When they do finally get her where they want her, it’s explosive. Seriously, the sex is hot in this one no matter if they take her together or separately.

There were a couple of things that were a little hard to buy in this story. She’s supposed to be a physics geek, a scientist, but other than over thinking why the guys would be into her and how she was going to handle being with two men, she could have been any other non-science type. The other thing that I didn’t feel like I quite understood was the whole reason why the guys had been sent to the retreat. I got that it was in a neutral zone and they were supposed to be safe from a rival pack there but then a little skirmish happens and then it’s over. I guess that whole scene felt a little rushed. It had the purpose of getting Ellie to admit to what she wanted but it was almost too convenient. Also, I was expecting at least a little M/M action. It’s hinted at, they tease her with the possibility, but then… nothing. Honestly, I was able to look over her supposed profession and the guys issue with the other pack but the lack of bromance when it was teased was probably the most disappointing part.

I did like the characters individually and as a grouping. Did I mention the sex is pretty hot? Ellie is sweet and I did buy that she couldn’t see how Jake and Kyle could want her individually much less together. It made their first time together that much more anticipated and frantically tense but in a good way. I also liked both Jake and Kyle. Hot inked werewolves who sense their mate… what’s not to like?

Read this book for what it is rather than with expectations of the next great novel. It’s hot. It’s quick and it’s satisfying. The characters are easy to cheer for and the setting was interesting. Readers who don’t have a lot of time but need an erotic paranormal ménage fix, this is one I’d suggest they go for.

Ruby by Ashlynn Monroe

RUBY
Ruby by Ashlynn Monroe

Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal, Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Length: Short Story (66 pgs)

Isser and Sol’s pack is in trouble. Jewel’s newborn cubs are ill and the pack needs money to treat them. Leaving the more experienced wolves to protect the women and children, the two bounty hunters agree to undertake a questionable assignment from known criminal Linus Lilymann. He wants them to find his stolen ruby and he insists he can’t possibly go to the police. Normally, Sol and Isser wouldn’t even consider it, but right now, it looks like the cubs only chance.

The mission turns out to be not what the expected at all. For one thing, Ruby’s a person, not a jewel. And for another, she’s a dangerous tiger shifter who escaped her kidnappers only to spend her life in a convent worshipping a cat goddess. She’s never been out in the world, she’s utterly unprepared to deal with men like Sol and Isser, and what’s worse, her first shift and her first sexual heat will happen on her twenty-fifth birthday. Soon. And only sex will help her hold onto her humanity.
Elevated estrogen or testosterone levels may be to blame for that. cheapest prices for cialis Who better to teach you about overcoming the fear of public ridicule. viagra sildenafil 100mg Erectile fast generic cialis dysfunction condition is especially common among men that are facing ED troubles and looking for some solution then here is the way out for your panic.

A tiger in heat will make a mate–or a meal–out of her first lover. Sol and Isser might be able to help her, but if they fail, their entire pack will suffer. It’s a difficult decision: protect the pack or protect their new treasure.

I really enjoyed the opening of this story. Ms. Monroe took the concept of the hierarchy and loyalty of a real wolf pack and applied it to this story about a group of wolf shifters.

It had all the makings of a space adventure as two of the pack set off to recover what they think is a precious gem, but what in fact, turns out to be another shape shifter.

The pacing is fast but I felt the story could have been stronger had we been able to know Ruby more than we did. I would have liked to have seen more insight into her personality and character other than what she was, and that she was on the run.

However, ultimately I enjoyed this story, and if you like a touch of sci-fi with shape shifters in your stories than this is probably a good pick for you.
