About me:

I'm a stay at home mom with three kids, a dog and an active imagination. I spent the first 34 years of my life in Alaska, land of the midnight sun, but these days I'm located in Washington, and am enjoying a much warmer sun :) I'm married to my high school sweetheart, John, who is known to bring me flowers "just because".

My leisure time is filled with gardening, crochet, knitting, sewing, art and reading.

Originally released as Once Bitten - has been retitled Careful, He Bites
Drac #2

Good read - action plot with a futuristic setting. This is the sequel to Ride the Stars. Do you have to have read RTS to enjoy this one? No - but you really should read both in order. Some of the characters were introduced in the first story.

The heroine's father would make Dr. Moreau look like Father of the Year. As a child he tortured her repeatedly - purely in the interests of science, of course! [If you've read Christine Feehan's Ghostwalker books, the two mad scientists would have A LOT to talk about...]

Cut to the present. Our heroine is dying as a result of the mutations forced on her body by her father. Her doctor feels that if she can get a Drac to bite her and thus convert her, she will live - probably losing her mutations to become a 'normal' drac. What he doesn't tell her is the bite is part of the mating process. When he sends her to Domino [Skye's brother from Ride the Stars] she figures she'll pay him, he'll bite her, and then they'll go their separate ways. Not happening...

The plot has further complications having to do with other mutants, 'pure' blood radicals, and some blasts from the past.

Good read. As of now there are only the two stories - if there were more, I'd buy them.

Careful, He bites book 2

I enjoyed the book,even though the villain should've suffered a little more, it was a great book. This is my second time reading this book, and it was even better than my first time reading it. Autumn Dawn has proved to be a very good writer and I look forward to future books.

Enter Domino, brother to Skye from book 1. Watch as he Honors a debt and finds his mate.
I love the Draconians. Skye shows up (Jaide does not). Lore makes an appearance (Nemesis does not). If you want to read more/learn more, read book 1 of the Drac duology, you won't regret it.
This is a re-read for me, I loved it that much from when it was 1st published, I had to read it again.

It was a really good book and would have got a 4 if it didn't end so abruptly.
