Perception

Scions #4

by Patrice Michelle

She’d barely survived the treacherous drive to Kaitlyn’s house through an ice storm. Then, forced to break in when she couldn’t find the key, Abby was immediately grabbed by someone in the dark. She gave her assailant the fight of his life. . . until his accusation that she was a burglar told her a mistake had been made.

Now, facing her opponent, she was overwhelmed by an electric attraction more intense than any she’d ever felt. Gabriel was impressed by this fascinating spitfire. He also felt the most intense desire of his life--a relentless need so powerful it tore him apart.

He understood immediately that Abby was the one--the female destined as his mate for life. But Abby was’t like the other females he’d been with. For one thing, she was human. Gabriel didn’t trust humans one bit. But the realization hit him--if he was to win Abby, he would have to win her trust. . . and Abby wasn’t going to make it easy.

Thrill to this ebook exclusive installment in Patrice Michelle’s enthralling Scions series.

Mahina had always preferred her relationships uncomplicated, temporary and lightweight. But Ren stirred something in her that made her seriously uncomfortable. Determined to get him out of her system, she escaped into the night and into her wolf form, to quiet the turmoil within her. So she was surprised. . . and surprisingly thrilled. . . to find Ren following her, equally determined to make her his own.

About the author

Born and raised in the Southeast, award-winning author Patrice Michelle gave up her financial calculator for a keyboard and never looked back. Thanks to an open-minded family who taught her that life isn't as black and white as we're conditioned to believe, she pens her novels with the belief that various shades of gray are a lot more interesting. She's a natural with a point-and-shoot camera, likes to fiddle with graphic design and, to the relief of her family, strums her guitar to an audience of one.

Well, that's the condensed, back-of-the-book bio about moi, anyway. :o)

As for becoming a writer...I wasn't one of those writers scribbling stories as soon as I could write, but I was a voracious reader. At the age of fifteen, I told my mom after I'd finished reading a book, "One day, I want to be the one who writes the kind of books readers think about long after they've closed it."

As Patrice Michelle, I write dark, sexy, action-packed paranormal and contemporary romances.

As P.T. Michelle, I write dark paranormal YA books. My first P.T. Michelle book is coming in July: BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS.

Well, it was short and thank goodness I did not expect too much for the plot.

The only reason I couldn't give this 4 stars was the brevity of the story - I wanted more of the Lupreda, dammit! Perception is the story of Landon's friend Gabriel, whose worldview on humans - a species he's reviled as weak and capricious - is changed after he spends a snow-storm night with the human Abby. Nicely done.
