Silver and Me!

Well it seems that I'm not going to be published with Silver Publishing after all.
Conflict with their EIC forced me to pull, but don't worry.....Forbidden Temptation and the rest of the series has found a home already.
My other house, Melange-books picked those up before the even got cold!

We are currently working on the covers, so as soon as something is done, everyone will get to see!

Other News!!
Secret Craving Publishing, a new house, has picked up my Guardian book--Forget Me Not! Due date for that, May, and guess what...think it might get print in Sept. I'm very excited about that series. It happened to be a hard sell, thinking because it isn't my normal, but hey! Everyone needs to change things up once in a while right?
Here's the cover!

GRAND OPENING OF NEW DIGITAL AND PRINT ON DEMAND PUBLISHING HOUSE

“Melange” for every reader’s taste in literature.

Opening January 1, 2011

December 30, 2010, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota

New small press, Melange Books, LLC, www.melange-books.com, is opening its online doors on Saturday, January 1, 2011, offering digital and print on demand books.

Melange Books, LLC, is offering books for sale in several genres, including mainstream fiction, historical and contemporary romance, erotica, science fiction-fantasy, and young adult, for your reading pleasure.

The creation of Melange was a ‘group effort’ composed of experienced editors and artists from another house that recently closed its doors. Melange is opening its doors with over 150 releases available in digital and print format.

Melange owner, Nancy Schumacher, from White Bear Lake, MN, eagerly took on the creation, with very few bumps along the way. “I couldn’t have opened my doors without the help of the experienced staff I’ve been lucky to hire on at Melange,” Ms. Schumacher stated.

Books will be available through several online sources; the Melange website at www.melange-books.com, Fictionwise Books, www.fictionwise-com, All Romance Ebooks, http://www.allromanceebooks.com, Amazon books, www.amazonbooks.com, and in print through LULU publishing at www.lulu.com. In the very near future, all books will also be available in Kindle format.

Melange Books, LLC, is offering authors a competitive contract for publication, and in February will open its doors to submissions.

Prologue

Kane lay on his back, on the cold steel bed chained and naked. He opened and closed his fists, strained against the chains, but the damn things wouldn’t give. Not when he was pumped full of drugs which kept him in a weakened state. But no amount of drugs could steal the burn he felt in his veins right now.

He could see the full moon from a dirty, cracked window and deep down Kane knew it had to do with why he was feeling this way. He didn’t know what it was, but he knew it had to be because of the moon. That much he’d figured out on his own.

“I’m worried about you.”

Kane strained again when he heard his sister in his head. Sasha was scared and he lay helpless on this slab.

“Every month you suffer like this, but this time it’s the worst ever.”

“I’ll be fine,” he answered her. “It never lasts too long before it goes away.”

“But what if it’s something big? What if they decide to destroy you?”

He heard the desperation and hated that he was pinned down, unable to go to her like she needed. She was his twin, born eight years after him. Kane had known in those first eight years of his life that something was missing, and he wasn’t talking about a parent or the knowledge of what he was. Sasha had been missing and he was only complete after she was born. And even though they were now forbidden to be close, and he couldn’t hold her at night to keep her safe and warm from the horrors of this life, he was whole. But now something else was missing.

“Blood count is different, and I can’t figure out why.” One of the men taking blood and shooting him up with other stuff looked up from his work when Josh came up next to Kane.

“Is that it?” Josh asked.

“For now, yes.” The man picked up another syringe and got closer to Kane. “After I check over his sperm, I’ll let you know.”

“You do that.” Josh turned and walked away.

Kane snarled at the guards who parted his legs and he growled at the doctor right before he pushed the needle into the heavy sac between his legs. He didn’t feel a thing, like he knew he should have, thanks to the burn in his body, but it still didn’t stop the rage at having something else taken from him.

“I’m going to kill you,” Kane said to the doctor, his voice low and vicious. “I’ll enjoy watching you bleed to death at my feet.”

The man’s face paled and the syringe dropped to the floor. Clearly, Kane could scare this one.

Kane, don’t, please. Sasha begged in his head, but Kane couldn’t control himself.

He strained against the chains and began to change; at least he let his face change. A wolf snout replaced his human nose. His mouth opened for a snarl that turned into one hell of an animal growl. Fur began to cover his nakedness. The sight caused everyone around him to take a step back.

“That’s enough, Kane.”

Someone shot him with a stun gun. Fifty thousand volts hit him in the side, stopping his change and sent pain all through his body. Kane yelled and stiffened up, the chains preventing him from curling up. For longer than necessary, the volts kept coming until he almost passed out.

“Now play nice, Kane.” Jason leaned over the table, smiling at him. “I would hate for the good doctor to damage something down there. You might want to use it one of these days.”

Breathing hard, Kane tried to twist from his bonds. He wanted to be free right now, so he could wrap his hands around that son-of-a-bitch’s neck. Nothing at this point in his life would give him more pleasure then to squeeze the life from his cold eyes.

“Fuck you,” Kane hissed before he spit in Jason’s face.

Jason stood back and wiped his face with his hand. “And here I was afraid that you were going to be too good. When the doc is done,” he spoke to the guards, but kept his eyes on Kane. “Take him out back. Been a while since he was in the chair.”

Normally Kane would shake at the mention of the chair. Jason had put it together for nothing more than torture. After a beating by the guards, he was whacked repeatedly by a ball on a rope until his whole groin was black and blue. The last time he was in the chair he couldn’t stand or piss comfortably for at least a week afterward.

“Enjoy it while it lasts, you prick!” Kane yelled at Jason when he turned and walked away from him. “Your time is coming.”

That is the question which prevents him from placing a claim on her. But when Celine takes matters into her own hands, Cole finds he can’t refuse her anything.

The heat of the full moon has come, so hot it is guaranteed to ignite a fire to burn the soul. An awakening has begun. But who will be consumed
by it?

Kiss Under the Mistletoe!
Lord Blythe Garrison has trouble trusting any ladies; but when he meets beguiling Frenchwoman Adela Delacroix he is taken aback by her boldness and the heat is on.

SHILO IS OUT!

2009-10-10T07:25:00.000-07:00

Shilo
By
Jaden Sinclair

He was nothing more than a backup for the company; only the company underestimated their program. Shilo is free to make his own choices but has one glitch in his programming: very few emotions. He's ruthless, cunning, strong, and doesn't give a damn who he has to go through in order to get what he wants, and what he wants is Star Murray.

She was tossing and turning in her bed, feeling guilty
about refusing to upload the chip raked at Star until she was
about to scream. She was ready to give up and go down to
work when she started to feel as if she was no longer alone.
As usual, she was dressed in her long button down shirt
that reached her knees with the sleeves rolled up, but no
shorts since she was in bed. Slowly Star looked over her
shoulder and what she saw standing in the corner of her
room was the one thing Star was so not ready to face. She
flung the blankets off her legs and bolted out of the bed so
fast that a small sense of hope hit her.
She made it around the corner before large, strong
hands grabbed and slammed her up against the wall. Her
heart pounded, fear had her hands coming up defensively,
and her eyes were wide open as hands smacked the wall on
either side of her head. She was so short that her head
barely came up to the middle of a very muscular chest.
Ever so slowly, as she worked to calm her breathing,
Star moved her eyes up that bare chest to a thick neck,
strong looking jaw. Higher still, her eyes went to full lips
that were slightly parted in a grin, straight nose and higher
to sparkling greenish-blue eyes that held a lot of humor and
brownish-blonde hair touching bare shoulders.
“Oh, shit,” she breathed out in a whisper.
“Hello, Princess.” He smiled, his even white teeth
bright against the tan of his face.
“Jesus!” she hissed. “How the hell did you get…get…”
she stuttered, not able to find to words she needed.
“Out?” he cocked his head, bending at the knees so he
was face to face with her. “Let’s just say you’re not the only
computer genius around.” He leaned real close to her ear,
lowering his voice. “Are you scared?”
Star turned her head away from him, which was a bad
move. His lips brushed her throat and moved down to her
shoulder. She grabbed his wrist with both hands when she
felt a tug at the top button of her long shirt. Star sucked her
breath in at the feel of his kiss on her bare shoulder and her
eyes started to roll into the back of her head at the pleasure.
She couldn’t believe this! He was seducing her!
“Stop,” she breathed out.
“I have a promise to fulfill,” he said, his voice lowering,
deepening. “Do you remember what I said what would
happen once I got my hands on you?” Another button
slipped free. “You ready for it? Because I am.”
Star reacted, didn’t think. Her knee came up so fast and
so hard, it caught both her and him off guard. She made
contact, hitting him between the legs, dropping him to the
ground.
“Does that look like I’m scared, you prick?” Star yelled
at him, pushing him away and then she ran. Alyna and Seth
came running and Star plowed into Seth. He caught her
before she could fall to the cold floor. “He...he...he,” she
stuttered.
“What’s wrong?” Alyna demanded, closing her robe
and looking at Star as if she’d lost her mind.
Held in Seth’s arms, Star looked over her shoulder and
pointed behind her. “Back there,” she managed to get with
much difficulty. “He’s...he’s...oh shit!”
Star struggled out of Seth’s arms to move behind him,
using him as a shield. She backed up as Shilo limped out of
the shadows, holding his groin. Seth pulled away from her
and Star watched, speechless, as the two men embraced
tightly, and she heard Seth call him Shilo.
“Did you kick him?” Alyna whispered.
“Yeah,” Star answered. She was about to say something
else when a strobe light went off. “Shit!” she hissed,
rushing to her computers and bringing up the security
cameras. “Shit, shit, shit!”
“What’s wrong?” Alyna asked.
“We’ve got company,” Star answered. She pushed away
from the computer and ran to her room. She grabbed some
jeans, put them on, and was working on her shoes when
Alyna rushed in.
“What’re you doing?” Alyna asked.
“What does it look like?” Star snapped back. “I’m
getting the hell out of here. You want to stay with those
two, be my guest.”
“I need some clothes for him,” Seth said, coming up
behind Alyna so quietly that Star jumped.
She opened her mouth to tell him that Saker had left a
bag when all of the strobe lights went off, lighting the place
up like a dance floor. Power went off, encasing them all in
darkness before the backup generator kicked in.
“They’re inside,” Star whispered, looking up at the
ceiling.
“Seth!” Shilo yelled, snapping them all out of the
stunned silenced. Star followed everyone out and over to
the cooler. Shilo had a pair of jeans on and the hidden door
popped open. “The girls can get out through there.”
“Where’s it go?” Seth asked Star.
“Um, woods.” She slung the backpack over her
shoulder.
Seth cocked one of the handguns, and handed it to
Alyna. “Get out, pick up the truck and we’ll met up with
you on the road.” Alyna nodded and took the gun. “Take
Star with you.”
An explosion hit, knocking everyone to the ground. Star
screamed when she went down, then gasped when hands
grabbed her around the waist, and shoved her against a wall.
Shilo covered her body with his own while parts of her
computers went flying everywhere. She covered her ears as
he reared up and shot off his gun. Peering around him, Star
saw several men rushing toward them. She twisted out from
under him, kicked the door open and while bullets flew,
ricocheting off equipment around her, she crawled out and
away from the shit that was coming down on her home.

Stefan’s Mark, Claiming Skylar & Dedrick’s Taming by Jaden Sinclair
Shifter Series Books 1, 2 & 3
Paranormal
Amira Press
ISBN: 978-1-934475-60-7, 978-1-934475-96-6, 978-1-935348-10-8
Reviewer: Melissa

‘Stefan’s Mark’

Stefan Draeger has been waiting four long years to finally claim his mate. He’d stumbled across Sidney Martin when she was too young for him to claim but he’s been preparing for her and now that the time is right he’ll do whatever it takes to make her his own.

‘Claiming Skyler’

Skyler Draeger has always had feeling for her brother’s friend Adrian Laswell however one stupid mistake by him changes how she looks at him, just as Adrian realizes that Skyler is his mate. Six months have passed and Adrian is done waiting for Skyler to calm down and accept him as her mate, he’s taking his mate. But Skyler’s not ready to forgive and while passion burns between them Adrian’s got a long way to go for Skyler to accept him.

‘Dedrick’s Taming’

Dedrick Drager doesn’t know why but his sister-in-law’s best friend drives him crazy! Everytime Jaclyn Davis is around he either wants to kill her or drag her off to the nearest bedroom, neither of which would go over well with his family. Although his brother has a successful mating with a human female, Dedrick doesn’t believe such a thing would be possible for him and even though he’s developing feelings for Jaclyn he’s not going to act on them. But he doesn’t count on Jaclyn having different ideas!

Jaden Sinclair’s Shifter Series is a series I read long ago; however, she has just recently revamped them, adding depth to existing characters, new characters that give the story more flavor and ramping up the intensity from one page to the next. While the previous versions of these stories were fun reading in comparison with these new versions all I can say is WOW! From Stefan to Adrian to Dedrick all of these stories kept me hooked. Kudos to Ms. Sinclair for taking what were already good stories and making them great, showcasing how wonderfully she’s grown as an author. Give me MORE!!!

A Pirate and a Shifter....What more could you ask for?

“It’s your move,” his opponent announced impassively.
Henry glanced up again at the man. He slouched back in his chair, blue eyes sharp as the steel on his hip, as he watched Henry. His opponent had jet-black hair, slicked back in a leather thong. A nice sized diamond stud pierced his left lobe and a well-trimmed goatee covered his upper lip and chin. His clothes appeared to be of the finest quality, something Henry found strange for a man sitting in this kind of pub.
“How…how much was the bet again?” Henry’s voice shook.
The man smiled, his tan face showing a clean, white teeth. He leaned forward in his chair, clasping his hands together. Henry licked his dry lips, staring at the pinky ring on his right hand. His ring was a snake wrapped around his finger to form the band with two rubies for its eyes.
“One hundred dollars,” the man repeated.
Henry looked at his cards. He knew he had a damn good hand with three tens, but what he didn’t have was the hundred dollars. What he did need, however, was the money in that pot. It would pay off the many debts he owed. The money would even get him and his daughter to their new home, which is where they were heading until he lost all of their money and was now trying to gain some of it back.
With a desperate move on his part, Henry pulled out a small cameo of his sixteen-year-old daughter. He dropped it in the pile, gazing at it with deep regret in his heart.
“What’s that?”
“My daughter,” Henry answered in a dull voice. “I will bet my daughter.”
The lips on the stranger twitched. “You ante your child in our poker game?”
Henry heard the disbelief in the man’s voice. “I have no choice here, mister. I need the money real bad.”
He watched as the cameo was picked up and opened. Henry saw the sudden interest in that intense gaze as he examined Henry’s only daughter. The bastard was all but undressing his little girl with his eyes.
“Do we have a deal?” Henry kept his voice tight.
The man closed the locket and placed it back in the ante pile. When he started Henry in the eyes, Henry felt a chill of dread hit him. He regretted what he had done but knew it was to late to undo it. “We have a deal.”
*************************************************************************************

“Come on,” Dedrick said, his voice lowering to a purr as he moved closer to her ear. “I see it in your eyes every time you look at me. You’re very interested.” She met his eyes in the mirror over the bar. “And curious,” he whispered. “You’re dying inside to know what having sex with me is all about.”

Jaclyn pushed back against him and turned. “Curiosity killed many cats, and I don’t have the lives to spare on you.” She picked up another beer and took a deep drink. “Tell Sid I’ll come by soon. And if she has to send someone to check on me, to please let it not be you.”

Dedrick rubbed his face groaning at the same time. “Okay, what do you want?”

She turned her head, and her blue eyes grabbed his full attention, which made Dedrick feel like he could drown in them. “She must really have something on you if you can’t go home without me.”

“I don’t want her upset,” Dedrick stated. “It’s that simple.”

“Is that the only thing?” Jaclyn cocked her head to one side. As she did, her thick black hair spilled to the side too. It gave Dedrick a mental picture of all that black hair spilling over his chest and then over his legs.

“What do you want?” he said again, after clearing his throat and pushing the image of her sucking on his cock to the back of his mind.

Jaclyn turned back toward him, licked her lips, and gave him a shrug. “Doesn’t really matter now.”

“Oh, don’t chicken out on me now.” He grinned, licked his own lips, and set the bottle down on the bar. “You might have me change my opinion of you.”

She snorted, rolling her eyes and snatching her beer back. “Please. Your opinion of me means jack shit.” She moved closer and stood between his legs, her scent wrapping around him. “You don’t like me. You’ve made that very clear, and now that I know you don’t want a human, it kind of makes my next request pointless.”

“Do you always like to flirt with danger?” His voice was raw and sounded on edge. He raised his hand to wrap some of her long hair into his fist.

“I tend to get bored easily,” she answered quietly.

“Cut the shit, Jaclyn.” He growled low, tugging on her hair. “What do you want?”

She moved closer, hanging her arms over his shoulders, pressing closer to his body. “I want you to kiss me again.” She licked her lips and dropped her gaze to his mouth. “Like a lover would kiss me.”

“You are so beautiful,” Seth said.. With one hand he touched her cheek, marveling at how silky she felt. “You are softer than anything I could ever have imagined was possible.”
Letting go of her wrist he pushed his body up with his arms, getting to his feet. He held by the arms, helping to her feet as well, and never took his eyes from her. Seth had watched over Alyna since the day she started working at the lab, long before making contact with her. He studied her movements, watched her as she worked, looked into her past. Seth knew everything there was to know about Alyna Satara, but the one thing he didn’t know was how to act this close to her. Sure, he could fight for her and protect her, but what to say to her now that they were face-to-face, he had no clue. So Seth ended up doing one thing he’d thought about doing as he tracked them all to this place. He kissed her.
His hand took hold of the back of her head to keep her in place as he kissed her deeply. Seth had researched kissing, touching, holding and lovemaking, but his studies didn’t prepare him for the pleasure he felt at having his lips pressed against hers. Her lips were so soft he could not resist the urge to graze his tongue across them. Just that simple touch had Alyna opening her lips to him as well as standing up on her toes to get nearer. He moved his hands from her head to her shoulders, pulling her tighter before he moved them to wrap around her waist. It was divine ecstasy. A simple kiss turned into a burning need that had Seth wanting to get closer.
His body was alive! He felt tingles all throughout it. Seth had to think about breathing. Caught up in the pleasure of Alyna’s kiss, he couldn’t think of anything but her. Slanting his head to one side, he kissed her even deeper, thrusting his tongue in and out of her mouth, flicking it with hers and holding her tighter. His cock thickened, throbbed, and still Seth kissed and held her, refusing to break this contact. All good things must come to an end. When he heard the far-off snap of a twig, Seth broke the kiss.
His head came up and turned, listening for more sounds. Very faintly, he heard the steps of many approaching from behind.
Seth took hold of her hand and started to walk away. Alyna pulled out of his hold, but he returned to her quickly, grabbing her arm.
“No,” she moaned, fighting to be released.
Seth fought with her gently. He struggled to get a good grip on her without leaving marks or hurting her. The way she fought him made it difficult. Alyna tried to bite his arm when he had hold of her again. This almost got her what she wanted, but Seth proved to be faster.
He grunted when she kicked him, bent backward slightly when she tried to slap him and even pinned her chest-to-chest. “Had enough?”
“Let me go,” Alyna whispered.
Seth looked into those green orbs of hers. So many different feelings raced through him that he couldn’t process or understand, but he knew them to be emotions. He saw how scared she was.
“I can’t,” he told her softly, holding onto her with one arm around her waist so he could brush hair from her face. “You’re too important.”
Seth didn’t waste any more time. From what he was picking up, the small group out looking for them wasn’t too far behind, which meant he needed to get Alyna out of there and fast.
He pushed her away from him, bent over and slung her over his shoulder. She cried out, kicking and slapping at him as he started to walk back to his truck.
“Put me down, you fuck!” she yelled.
“Quiet,” Seth said. “Or you will tell the others where we are.”
Seth jogged with her to his truck. When he stopped next to it, he set her down on her feet just long enough to open the door and shove her inside. Time was not on their side. Like he feared, her screaming attracted the others to their location, and just as he got in after her, closed the door and started the engine, gunfire rang out.
Alyna screamed as Seth pulled her down to the floor and glass shattered around them. Quickly, he put the truck in gear, floored it and got the hell out of there as the firing continued.

*************************************************************************************
unedited

Kade opened the door and let his breath out through his teeth. On the ceremony bed was his bride, looking as pure as ever. When he looked back at the priests they both bowed their head.
“Your papers will be ready when you are finished.”
Kade walked inside and closed the door gently, but it seemed that she still heard it and jumped.
“Who’s there?” her voice shook as she spoke, but it also caressed his nerves like a lovers hand to his body.
Kade had to swallow hard before he found his voice. “Don’t be afraid.”
“Please, please.” She begged. “Please let me out.”
Kade reached out and touched her leg, she jumped. He moved, standing between her legs and looking his fill at her. She was perfect, everything he could ever have dreamed of for a bride. Her skin was cream, and felt like the softest rose petals. He touched her other leg and together he skimmed them up, pushing her gown aside to look at her junction that was covered in white. She was breathing hard, but Kade couldn’t seem to find his voice, all he wanted to do was touch her, to feel that softness and wonder what it would be like to have his flesh brush against hers and to be joined as one.

“Don’t be scared.” He finally whispered. Kade moved his left hand from her leg to touch her flat belly, brushing his knuckles along the waistband of those panties that were driving him crazy. “It is not my intentions to hurt you.”
“Then what do you want?” she asked in a silky, shaking voice.
Kade bent over and kissed her belly, grinning when she sucked her breath in. “What is your name?”
“Why . . . why . . . why did you do that?” she stuttered, straining against the bonds.
“You are uncomfortable.” It was a statement, not a question. Kade pulled back but only to kiss the inside of her thigh. “Relax, my Mala, I will do nothing to bring you harm, you have my sworn oath.” He licked at her thigh, kissing it one more time. “Now what is your name?”
Kade watched her take a hard swallow. “Sorsha. Sorsha Mya.”
“I am Kade Tully.” He told her, kissing at her belly once again.
“What . . . what am I doing here?” she was breathing hard again as he kissed her belly, and her hands kept fisting when he would move slightly higher.
“You don’t know?” Kade stopped what he was doing and looked at her blindfolded face. She answered him with a shake of her head. Kade flattened his hand on her stomach, right under her breasts. He stood up, bringing his body as close to hers as he could, letting his silk covered cock press against the panty covered mound of her pussy. “You have been brought here to be a bride to a Plutoan man.”
“What?” she squeaked.
Kade moved his hand down and cupped her pussy. Sorsha jumped at this bold move, but Kade had to bite down on his lower lip. She was heat, hotter than anything he could ever recall in his whole life. All he thought about was touching her, tasting her, and joining with her. She was everything he wanted and so much more. His gut was screaming that her passion was going to match his perfectly. Kade thought about the test and quickly came to the conclusion that it really didn’t have to do too much with the girls after all. For him, the real test was going to be if he could keep his cock in his pants and not plunge it deep inside her.
“Yes.” He answered. “You are now a bride to a Plutoan man.” He moved both hands to the clasps at her hips, twisting them free. “To this man.” he finished with a quick yank to her panties. “My bride.”

Review for Claiming Skyler

2008-10-31T10:36:00.000-07:00

TITLE: Claiming Skyler (Shifter 2)

AUTHOR: Jaden Sinclair

PUBLISHER: Amira Press

ISBN: 978-1-93447-596-6

FORMAT: Ebook

RELEASE DATE: September 2008

GENRE: Erotic Werewolf Romance/ Vanilla sex/Mild Bondage/Sex while in shifter form

BOOK RATING: 4 Pixies

HEAT RATING: 4 Restraints Needed

Aiden Laswell screwed up—literally and figuratively. First he fucked Skyler Draeger’s best friend. Then, that same night, after Skyler caught him at his misdeed, he laid claim to Skyler as his mate. Six months later, he’s back to secure his claim and make Skyler his mate, in every sense of the word. Skyler, however, wants no part of his plan and tells everyone so, in no uncertain terms.

After an explosive dinner, Dedrick Draeger, Skyler’s brother and head of the family, gives Aiden until that Friday to secure his claim or Dedrick will dissolve it as is his right. Aiden also has Thomas Fallon to worry about, a shifter Skyler has been dating. With his problems mounting, Aiden goes about winning over his mate, by any means necessary.

The sex in SHIFTER 2: CLAIMING SKYLER is hot, hot, hot. And often. First by mental invasion and then in person, Aiden sets about winning over Skyler. This book is hot and left me turned on to the max. Aiden knows every trick in the book, and he uses them well and often in his attempt to make Skyler forgive him and admit to loving him. There’s mild bondage used in one scene and it makes the scene extraordinary. Also, there is one scene of sex in Aiden’s shifted form that made my mouth water. Wait until you read it!

I loved the way Ms. Sinclair weaved in the secondary characters. She brings them to life in a way that makes them fill the story out. I especially loved Dedrick and his obvious problem with a certain human female. I’m hoping that Ms. Sinclair has these two on the list of books to write. And I like the other sub-plot that’s woven into the story toward the end. It sets up a great next read and again, I’m hoping we haven’t seen the last of these characters.

Between the great sex scenes, which are more than fucking, they’re seduction at its best, and the interwoven plots, SHIFTER 2: CLAIMING SKYLER is a hot, fantastic read.

By the year of 3404 Pluto and Earth have a highly developed and mutually beneficial treaty agreement with each other. Many of Pluto's fine products are highly sought by Earth and Pluto is in need of females as they produce a high number of male's among their population. Jovan Maki loves his vineyard on his home world of Pluto, and his wine is one of those highly sought products on Earth. As a full blooded Plutoan male in the 35th Century he is hopeful of finding his mate one day, a mate that will complete him and bring his body to life. The incredibly big and gorgeous males of Pluto are destined only for their true mate and when they find the woman for them, there is no stopping their nature. When Jovan meets Nichelle, he knows he will never be the same, and embraces his new future. Once found, is it possible to convince the beautiful and young Nichelle that she will be happy with him, and that he will take care of her and protect her with his very life if need be. For Nichelle is stuck under the heavy hand of her cruel father and Jovan vows he will do whatever it takes to take care of the small beauty that has become the center of his world.

Nichelle Fender is from Earth and according to the agreement between Earth and Pluto, she must make herself available for the “Joining Test” on Pluto or face loosing her college scholarship. College is the only way out of her father's dictatorial control over her life. However, his cruel intentions for her are even beyond Nichelle's comprehension. While Nichelle dreams of finishing her schooling, she knows she must participate in the testing process and visit Pluto. Going behind her father's back, Nichelle is uncertain what awaits her on the distant planet as the test is a highly kept secret, and she is fearful of what it will entail. Soon Nichelle finds her destiny was awaiting her on Pluto, and she never could have imagined that handsome Jovan Maki would discover her has his bride. Fearing this is the end of her only chance at freedom and fearing the horrible repercussions her father is capable of, Nichelle worries her life will change and never be hers to control. However, Jovan is so hard to resist. The tall, strong male is simply too gorgeous and caring to ignore as the chemistry between them explodes into passion. But, how long does she have until her sadistic father finds her and drags her back to Earth? She knows he will not be denied his control over his daughter, and she fears for her safety and happiness. Can Jovan really protect her from a man that is willing to go to any length to see his own sick desires come into reality? Little does Nichelle know she's already been sold to the highest bidder and that evil man will not be denied what he sees as his property, bought and paid for in full, to use and abuse as he sees fit. Can they have a life together or will it be destroyed when her father finds her as she is sure will happen?

I am a huge fan of Jaden Sinclair, she is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. This is just another example of how fantastic she is! I am not usually a lover of Sci Fi, but Jovan Maki is too hard to resist, he's simply wonderful and Nichelle is a very special woman, these characters are so vibrant. Ms. Sinclair can create a drop dead sexy Alpha male that will make your heart beat faster, faster and faster still. I was entranced and couldn't put it down. I highly recommend all of Ms. Sinclair's books as wonderful reads and Interplanetary Passion is by no means an exception. You will not be disappointed with this one, it's hot, fast paced and exciting. To say I laughed and I cried is an understatement, it was great. Ms. Sinclair has done it again. Bravo!

New Orleans, Louisiana - Present Day

Sydney Martin's father told her there were werewolves but Sydney didn't believe it. Watching from the shadows as her father and his friend, Mike Stan, beat up the man hanging on the wall, she wondered why. After the two men left, and for reasons she didn't understand, Sydney couldn't resist taking a step or two closer. From that moment on, Sydney's life has never been the same. Something about him pulled at her, drawing her closer. She wanted to touch him and feel his hands on her. But why? What was it about this chained man that made her stomach tumble with butterflies and her lips tingle for her first kiss? Later that night he escapes, but not before giving Sydney her first sweet kiss and the whispered promise, "I will be back for you. You are mine, Sydney." Over the years Sydney thought a lot about the man and had erotic dreams about him that woke her up panting and needy. However, Sydney never expected to see him again or that he would drug her and kidnap her.

Stefan Draeger has waited four long years to claim his mate, Sydney Martin. The first time he'd seen her, sensed her hiding in the shadows of the basement, Stefan knew she was his. He'd been captured while he was out hunting for his mate, and what luck to find her in the very house of his captors. The night he escaped, Stefan gave Sydney a kiss and promised to return for her. He also left behind his jean jacket which she now wears. When he sees her in the New Orleans club, Stefan knows the time has come to claim Sydney as his mate and mark her. However, the little minx is stubborn and uncooperative, so Stefan drugs her and carries her to his home. The time of the full moon is drawing near and having his mate this close is pure torture. If he doesn't mate with her soon, he's going to go mad. Unfortunately, Sydney is fighting him every step of the way and his beast is just itching to get out and take what rightfully belongs to it...Sydney.

STEFAN'S MARK starts with our hero chained to a wall, waiting for the right time to escape, and ending up finding his mate. Stefan isn't prepared for that or the fact that Sydney is too young to claim right now. It doesn't stop him from searching for her though, and waiting in the wings until she is ready for him. Stefan is sweet, naughty, and dangerous all rolled up into one sexy package. I mean, come on, he is a werewolf after all. Sydney has lived under her father's thumb for too long and knows that he blames her for her mother leaving. The scenes between Stefan and Sydney are heated and titillating, whether they are arguing or loving. When Stefan comes for Sydney and plants a whopper of a kiss on her, she's all into it, until he says you're mine. Then she gets all witchy and fights him. Make up your mind, girlfriend!

Secondary characters include Stefan's brother and sister, Dedrick and Skylar, who try to help Sydney understand Stefan, his motives, and what to expect. They also welcome her to the family even though she doesn't plan on staying. There are a couple of surprises in store for Sydney and Stefan, as well as for readers. I won't say anything more; otherwise it would ruin the story.

First in the Shifter series, Jaden Sinclair's STEFAN'S MARK is a fast-paced, exciting, and sexually charged romance that readers are sure to enjoy.
