Book Blurb:

Too much of a good thing…

With her long ponytail and sparkling green eyes, Tessa Donovan looks more like the girl next door than a businesswoman—or a heartbreaker. Which may explain why Detective Luke Asher barely notices her when he arrives to investigate a break–in at her family’s brewery. He’s got his own problems—starting with the fact that his partner, Simone, is pregnant and everyone thinks he’s the father.

Tessa has her hands full, too. Her brother’s playboy ways may be threatening the business, and the tension could tear her tight–knit family apart. In fact, the only thing that could unite the Donovan boys is seeing a man come after their …

BBT Photography

We are very happy to welcome author J. A. Saare here at Book Lovers Inc today.  Her latest novel, The Renfield Syndrome, book 2 in her Rhiannon’s Law series is released today and she is here to tell us why her characters always have a special name. Please give Jaime a warm welcome and don’t forget to leave a comment to win a book. 

First—thanks for having me by the blog. It’s a pleasure to be here!

When I was asked to write about the importance of character names, I giggled. Why? Because I have a book that is a running joke for some readers. Disco, Paine, Goose—really? Where is Iceman? How about Maverick? I get that a lot. In retrospect I should have name them Dhisco, Phaine, and Ghoose. I would have made a killing. *grin*

Blurb:

The town of Crowder is werecat territory and the Katt family has lived on the Caterwaul Ranch for generations. But when a pack of werewolves start ravaging the land, Tabitha Katt is surprised to learn that her brother has sent a very human cowboy to protect her.

Jake Brown sure knows how to make her blood run hot, so when he gets bitten by one of the wolves they have to decide … can there be any love between a werecat and a werewolf?

My Thoughts: I love shifter stories and though I love werewolves, I find it a pity that feline shifter stories are so rare. There is something wildly irresistible and charming about the graceful strength of big cats, be they lions, tigers or panthers, so when I …

Are You a Cat Person or a Dog Person?

Cat or dog shifters that is. 😉 I’ve always loved shifter stories, something about getting in touch with your inner animal appeals to me on a base level. It’s more than just being able to change form, it’s about becoming that creature, reverting to a more …
