Born in a small town on the coast of North Carolina to strict parents, Tracy St. John started out as a quiet, shy child. She was typical for her small town: studying hard for good grades, fishing with her dad on Saturdays and attending church on Sundays.
When adolescence kicked in, so did full-on rebellion. School, family and church fell by the wayside as Tracy partied too hard with the wrong people. Somehow surviving her wild-child phase, she pursued several careers before finally settling on video production and writing.
A string of failed relationships prompted her to give up on love…which of course meant fate immediately tossed Mr. Right her way. After only 4 months of dating, she eloped with the love of her life. They just celebrated 14 years of wedded bliss.
Prior to penning her first erotic novel ‘Alien Embrace’, Tracy wrote commercials, television and radio promos, and training films for various government entities.
Tracy St. John now lives in coastal Georgia with her husband and son. She still enjoys fishing, and you’ll often find her haunting train museums with her locomotive-loving son. Besides writing, she also works in video production both in front of and behind the camera. She’s usually cast as the gun-toting bad gal, getting handcuffed in the end. She has no complaints.
loved this book. Having read all of the books in this series I was so happy to see this one come out. And the author puts in a tease for the next book in the series. This is definitely not a stand alone. Would get lost trying to get up to speed with the characters and dynamics of the relationships. But if you're a fan of the series you'll love reading this one.
Hunted- really hot story revisiting Amelia and her sexy Alpha Nobek Breft! Super steamy read! A really sexy chance fantasy!
Abduction- a great story catching up with Jessica and her sexy men. I think this sets up events for coming books with the rebellion and serial killer. It ends on a super sexy note even if a but questionable.
The Negotiation- I never thought I would have much interest in a story about Saucin Israla because she comes off as shallow. But this story gave her a heart and reasons for her behavior. I really enjoyed it and getting to know her better.
This book gives us a glimpse of some of our favorite clans. I enjoyed revisiting from the clans she chose. Best of all who doesn't like babies, next generation of earthers matras.
4.5 stars Not just a single story forcusing on one "family" but a quick story from each of the clans from previous books and two Extras along with the prequale for the next book.
Finally a 1female 1 kaljour male relationship. Don't get me wrong this girl liks the three to one ratio but sometimes just a one on one is great. This was one of the stories that was a nice surprise.
Not a stand alone. Must read other books in the series to fully enjoy. You will get lost in the characters and quick stories.
It is another smash hit for Tracy St. John! Loved every story! i like that she added these additional stories about the clans before they brought their Matara into the group, or in a couple stories the exciting stories that occurred afterwards. It fills in and certainly add to the whole experience.
This seems to me to be a series that i can finish and then just begin again, and again. Can't wait for new stories.
I love to read epilogues to find out what happened next after a book. This addition to the series was awesome. I wanted to know more about the children or if any of the other women got pregnant but I can't argue I got a glimpse of the clans happiness with each other. Of course there will always be trials and this addition to the series basically spells it out. An excellent addition and loved it even if I wasn't as fulfilled as I wanted to be. I can't wait to read Clan beginnings!
Enjoyed this book greatly, author closed up a few loose ends from all the other books in the series without having to dedicate an entire novel on just one clan.
This collection of short stories, doesn't just give the reader a revisit of the clans and their mataras from previous books, but updates and adds to their stories as they fit into the current Kalquor/Earth situation. The stories are emotive, well written and really informative, showing glimpses of where the continuing story arc is headed, not to mention full of incredibly sexy Kalquorian clans. An absolute joy to read.
