About the author
Ann Mayburn
95 books1,974 followersAnn is Queen of the Castle to her wonderful husband and three sons in the mountains of West Virginia. In her past lives she's been an Import Broker, a Communications Specialist, a US Navy Civilian Contractor, a Bartender/Waitress, and an actor at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. She also spent a summer touring with the Grateful Dead(though she will deny to her children that it ever happened).
From a young age she's been fascinated by myths and fairytales, and the romance that often was the center of the story. As Ann grew older and her hormones kicked in, she discovered trashy romance novels. Great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as much detail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she's never looked back.
Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her 'sexy space' and has learned to type one handed while soothing a cranky baby.

Opal Moon is part of the 1 Night Stand series, I’ve enjoyed several of the short stories, all by different authors.
However, this one came with A LOT more heat than any of the others I’ve read. They’re all hot, with sexy characters, but Opal Moon surpasses the others that I’ve read.
Giselle is an Alpha werepuma looking for her beta, one she can fully bond with. She believed that Noah was the one but he isn’t sexually attracted to females. This leaving their bond only half formed.
She has refrained from seeking out any encounters to relieve her self of the frustration she feels, because she is trying to allow Noah the time he needs to handle the power and change of becoming a shifter.
Once Noah finds a male Alpha, is getting the guidance he needs…and some lovin’ too – Giselle knows he is strong enough and protected, for her to seek out her own sexual encounter.
Giselle is still trying to figure out how the situation with her beta is going to work, either she needs to find another or bond with Noah’s new Alpha, Marcus.
Until the solution reveals itself, Giselle enlists the expertise of Madame Eve from 1 Night Stand. She requests a married or mated pair that’s looking for a fulfilling night, not one who could potentially bond with her.
Madame Eve tells Giselle to go to a club that caters to both humans and shifters….there she will find her dates for the evening. Madame Eve is very frugal with the details, but promises it will be all that Giselle asked for.
Out on the dance floor, letting the music and pheromones infuse her body – Giselle is waiting for her dates to reveal themselves.
Suddenly the music changes, the bass beat feels as though it’s a second heartbeat in Giselle’s body…
As the lights go down, a spotlight singles Giselle out. She feels like a string is tugging her towards the stage…and what she sees up there has her aching and her pussy soaking her thong.
THIS is what she needs!
When the set ends, DJ Minx jumps off the stage and kneels at Giselle’s feet. Giselle nods, giving her permission to be touched.
Giselle learns that Minx’s real name is Inara and her husband of a really long time, is Theron.
They ask if Giselle would like to get out of the club to somewhere private…she agrees.
Let’s just say…the three of them had a blissful, HOT, inventive night of debauchery and sex. When the morning came each of them were well satiated.
This book was Blazing HOT!!

Opal Moon
Alpha Giselle a werepuma, is stuck her beta is gay and is unable to fully bind. She doesn't remember what it is like to be happy and not feel as if her world is at a stand still. 1 Night Stand matchmaking service has found a couple to help ease her burden and her pain.
Inara is a sorrow eater, she takes the grief of others and replaces it with joy. Theron is her husband and the two are looking for another female to spice it up. When the three meet it is hormone heaven, dripping wet like Giselle has never experienced before.
This is a very erotica F/M/F tastefully and erotically written. The storyline was fantastic.
I was looking forward to this story and was only mildly disappointing. The book just stopped that was it right in the story line. I am hoping there is more to Giselle's story than were it just stopped.

I had to have this book! After reading the Prides of the Moon I had to have Giselle's story. I really felt for Giselle, being paired with a gay beta, and needing a release of her own. The whole premise behind this story was great, I loved the idea of Inara as a sorrow eater, and being able to help Giselle. Seriously this story was hot!!! I almost wish that Inara and her husband could keep Giselle with them forever, they were that good together. You won't be disappointed with this story. Ms. Mayburn made me fall in love with the idea of a FFM menage, she just made it so sexy and hot. I will gladly pick up more of her books. And I desperately hope I can get another shifter fix at some point.

What a emotional story this was. I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the Prides of the Moon series and the 1NS series. Ann Mayburn never disappoints. Each book I read from her is a breath of fresh air laced with extreme passion.
Giselle is a werepuma whose without her beta as her beta happens to be gay. Inara and her husband Theron are there to give Giselle the passion she needs so that she can move on and boy do they deliver. I loved this menage.
If I have to say one thing I wanted to be added is more story for Giselle.
I’m hoping that the author will continue Giselle’s story. Thank you Ann Mayburn for another passion filled, sexy, erotic, emotional roller coaster. Looking forward to reading more. I will recommend this book to all my friends who love f/f and f/m/f.

I couldn’t wait to read about Giselle from the previous Prides story; she is an Alpha and has been unhappy for some time, as she cannot bond with her Beta, because he is gay. She goes to the 1NS service to find a couple that could help her release some stress and sexual tension. She meets Inara and Theron, Inara is a sorrow eater, and she replaces it with happiness.
Loved the descriptions of all of the colors and sounds at the dance club, it sounded alluring and sexy. I haven’t read many FFM stories, this one is really hot!
