Hunter's Moon

Hunters #1

by Bernadette Gardner

When an inhuman scream silences the night creatures in a Pennsylvania woodland, Alliana Cambridge isn’t afraid. She’s angry. When she goes in search of the source of that tortured sound she expects to find another drunken hunter injured by his own gun. Instead she finds something indescribable. He’s six feet of sensuous panther-black skin stretched over taut muscle. His green eyes glow with feral intelligence and though she can’t speak his language, Alli knows he’s asking for her help. She watches as his magnificent body heals itself of a vicious gunshot wound and she wonders if he’s come to enslave humans, starting with her. Of course, she’s probably dreaming. After all, magnificent feline aliens don’t normally roam the woods behind Alli’s home. If he’s still there, in her bed, in the morning...well, she’ll worry about it then.

Reviews

[Aria · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fairly decent for an erotic novel. A quick cheesy read. I`m loosing faith in erotic books really. Starting to think it`s not my thing. So I suppose that for the type of genre I guess it`s bearable.
So don`t guide yourself by my review. If you`re into this type of novels I guess you would like it. For others just snooping and experimenting it`s not bad, you get what you`re looking for in a more discrete way. Sex scenes are not that explicite, if there were a plot...It`s missing. So the best way to explain this is a quicky or a one shot short story. So...Simple, to the point novel. 3 stars is the best I can do.

it could have been a better story if the end was not so easy.
The alien guy looks terrible, and beautiful, lethal but not enough, the heroin as been hurt before so she is cautious.
So it could have been a good story but I didn't like the fact the alien guy can turn in a human by changing is DNA with a kind of alien technology.
and what ? they live on earth and a big HEA ?

so only 3 stars :(

Alien warrior: check.
Isolated heroine: check.

You might have read a similar story with the title Jane's Warlord :)

Being a short story, it has not much as characterization nor plot. Fan of the genre may appreciate it.

The book only took me about 45 minutes or so to read. There was nothing particularly stellar about the story or the characters. It was a shifter story done alien-style. It wasn't the worst story, nor was it the best but it was okay.

I loved this book. I don't know about the rest of you but somebody hand me a fan. PHEW! I had compassion for the characters. If you enjoy this book you must read "HUNTERS MATE"...Sexy,exciting, and don't forget the HEA.(Happily Ever After)
