IN A WOLF’S EMBRACE by Lora Leigh, Mattias Slaughter, a Wolf Breed, is determined to be with his mate.   However, it proves difficult when Grace witnesses Mattias assassinating a suspected Genetic Council member.   Will he be able to convince her that they belong together?   http://www.loraleigh.com/

BEYOND THE DARK is a great collection of stories of fantasy and desire.   The women do not need a protector.   In fact, they could kick some major ass all on their own.   The men are alpha to the bone but they didn’t overcrowd their mates.  It was more of a coming together and completing each other.   Each couple has a good chemistry together that flowed rather well even though the story was rather short.   I am curious if these stories will continue to be developed because I think that there is still a lot of story left to be told.   Overall, BEYOND THE DARK is a sensuous and fantastical anthology that will entertain any reader with diverse tastes.
