Maia is a panther slayer. She grew up in the Temple of Lacheses because her mother gave her up. At seven she met with the Goddess who resided in the Temple for her position to be decided. "This one will be a panther-killer. Take her away." and so she began her life as a sacred hunter, a female in a band of men who protected the villages. At nineteen she kills the sacred white panther that has been killing the villages dairy cows. It's heart keeps on beating so as a ritual she must eat it. Thus begins the journey of Maia as a panther shape-shifter Maia is one HOT panther! Oh my gosh. As I sat there reading her mates description in the story, my jaw dropped. He was absolutely yummy sounding!!!! And, after all she has been through she finds him, I just wanted to put myself in Maia's shoes and wrap my arms around the hunky man and give him a hug! The attraction he felt to Maia, though, was instant and steamy! WOW! Little Rock Book Club 6875
