This exclusive bonus edition includes the full story of DAMNATION (Book 1 of the Blue Moon Saloon series), plus the entire prequel, PERFECTION, and a bonus epilogue which is not available in any form anywhere except in this bonus edition. This special edition is also packed with rich extras such as “the making of” Damnation, recipes, and games.
DAMNATION He hasn’t forgotten her, and she sure hasn’t forgiven him.
Jessica Macks is a she-wolf on the run from a band of murderous rogues. When she finds a job at a shifter bar, it seems like a safe haven from her hunted life on the road. But the minute she walks through the swinging doors of the Blue Moon Saloon and comes face-to-face with the man she once loved, she’s tempted to march right back out. No way, no how is she risking her heart to that infuriating alpha bear again.
Simon Voss thought he lost everything in an ambush months before: his home, his family, his past. His new job at the Blue Moon Saloon is a desperately needed fresh start on life. Then along comes Jessica, the irresistible she-wolf his clan forced him to reject years before. When Simon is obliged to hire Jessica and work side by side with the one woman to ever make his bear go wild, he’s half in heaven, half in hell. He hasn’t forgotten her, and she sure as hell hasn’t forgiven him. Is this just another path to heartbreak or his last chance to claim his destined mate?
PERFECTION A sexy bear, a stubborn she-wolf, and a very cozy den.
It’s a stormy winter’s night in the mountains, and she-wolf Jessica Macks is desperate to find shelter. So desperate, she’ll even settle for an unoccupied bear den, despite all the warnings she’s heard about her pack’s mysterious neighbors. It doesn’t take long before unwanted company in the form of bear shifter Simon Voss comes lumbering in. The two can let out their claws and fight, or they can lower their defenses and keep each other warm. But the instinct to survive isn’t the only force at work in that cozy den — destiny is, too. Before Jessica and Simon know it, they’re cuddled together in human form and letting warm heat right over to hot as they give in to temptation for the very first time.
BONUS MATERIALS - Exclusive bonus epilogue - The "making of" the Blue Moon Saloon series - The "making of" Damnation - Bonus recipe - Bonus games - Sneak peeks
Behind the doors of the Blue Moon Saloon, alpha shifters confront their darkest fears and their deepest desires. Each book is a complete standalone story — no cliffhangers!
* Paranormal romances with adult content. The perfect read for fans of strong heroines, alpha heroes, werewolves and shapeshifters, red-hot cowboys, romantic westerns, paranormal suspense, action-adventure romance, and fantasy romance! *
USA Today and Amazon best-selling author Anna Lowe loves putting the "hero" back into heroine and letting location ignite a passionate romance. She likes a heroine who is independent, intelligent, and imperfect — a woman who's doing just fine on her own. But give the heroine a good man (not to mention a chance to overcome her own inhibitions) and she'll never turn down the chance for adventure, nor shy away from danger.
On any given weekend, you might find her hiking in the mountains or hunched over her laptop, working on her latest story. Either way, the day will end with a chunk of dark chocolate and a good read.
Damnation the Bonus Edition comes with the entire prequel, Perfection, the full story of Damnation (Book 1 of the Blue Moon Saloon series), and a steamy bonus epilogue, The Mating Bite, that is only available in this exclusive edition plus a few more additional exclusive content.
This Bonus Edition is well worth purchasing. All the extra content is nicely done and who doesn't love extra content. If I already didn't own Perfection & Damnation, the single titles, I would buy this one instead.
Reviews below on Perfection, Damnation, and The Mating Bite.
Perfection is the prequel to the Blue Moon Saloon series.
Does it have to be read first. No. It’s a very short story that features our main characters from Damnation, Simon and Jessica, it's their first meeting.
This is an instal-thing, destiny. They know they are mates the moment they meet, but their are several obstacles for them to over come; before they can be together. Here they spend two days together, snowed in, getting all hot and heavy with each other. Their is a little foreshadowing, that even though they have found each other their future will be a ruff one, before they get their happy-ever-after.
The story was just ok for me. It was nice to see their first meet, but really not necessary to know before going into Damnation or the the Blue Moon Saloon series. For fans of Ms. Lowe and her shifters, it’s a nice treat.
Rated: 3 Stars
What happens when old hurts still linger and old threats come calling?
Damnation is book one in the Blue Moon Saloon series by Anna Lowe. What a wonderful new series that brings us strong heroines, alpha heroes, shifters of all kinds, hot cowboys, action, and much more.
The Blue Moon Saloon series takes place in the same world as The Twin Moon Ranch series. What is important to note is that both series can be read separately even though they are in the same world coexisting side-by-side. The author does a fabulous job bring her world to life and working in the characters from the other series, but what's impressive is that she made them feel brand new or if you are a fan, ones you have come to love.
I devoured this book in one sitting. I had a great time with this second chance romance. I will never be board or get enough of Ms. Lowe's characters and world. She is an outstanding writing that can bring her characters to life, pulling the reader in deeply, making you feel for them.
Jessica and Simon have a past that caused them both to be hurt in more ways then one. These two had a few things to work out and also an old enemy that doesn't want to see them together come around. These two go through so many emotions; before they finally clear the air and work everything out. When they finally hook-up again, well the sexy times are sensual, steamy, and romantic. As for our enemy it was rather quick, but you know they will be back.
Their is a prequel, Perfection, for Simon and Jessica. It's their beginning, before everything went wrong. No, I have not read it. Should you read it before you read Damnation? Well some reviewers say yes, I on the other hand can't say until I read it, but I felt the story stood on it's own.
Damnation was a sweet second chance romance that will take you on a whirlwind of emotions, action, suspense, and love that never faded. I highly recommend this new series as well as her Twin Moon Ranch. I can't wait for the next installment in this series.
Rated: 4 Stars
The special edition short story only featured in this Bonus Edition, The Mating Bite.
This was a very short and sweet story. We get to see Simon and Jessica finally seal their bound with the mating bite. It's sweet and oh so steamy sexy. Fan's will love this exclusive story.
I for one enjoyed The Mating Bite. The Blue Moon Saloon series has fast become one of my favorite shifter series to read. Ms. Lowe is a master at weaving emotional tales that pull you into the world and characters.
Rated: 3.5 Stars
*Disclaimer: I bought Perfection & Damnation. I also received a complimentary copy provided by Anna Lowe with the sole purpose of an honest review. All thoughts, comments and ratings are my own.
If you have not read these books do yourself a favour and get this brilliant starter deal. A fantastic way to jump into this series. BLUE MOON SALOON 0.5 - PERFECTION TITLE – You will enjoy this read. This is just a short little story telling about how Jessie and Simon meet in a blizzard. You do not need to read this first before Damnation, but it made book 1 all the better for me. It was so sweet and wonderful and made me much sadder when I read their story in Damnation after reading this first. How it went wrong is a sobering story and is told in Damnation.
BLUE MOON SALOON 1 – DAMNATION TITLE – A great new series coming up. I read the prequel PERFECTION before this book and it was so sweet. You do not need to have read it but it makes what happens in this book so much sadder. Jessie has done nothing wrong but been left by her unmated mate. She has suffered 3 years of hurt and then things get worse. Her pack is wiped out by purist rogues that only her and her sister Janna escaped from. Jess believes she could have done more to help her pack and her guilt at not fighting enough, on top of not being wanted by her mate and living on the run has taken her from being a feisty she wolf to a shadow of herself. Simon thought he was doing the right thing in hurting Jessie and turning her away and making her hate him. What a ninny. Why do males not understand that talking can solve so much. IF Simon had told Jessie what was going on, IF he had not hurt her so bad, they may have been able to be together and their respective pack and clans may have been able to help and protect each other from the rogues. Big IF I know. All in all a very enjoyable read with a good storyline that is leading to a series of books for some of the other lovely characters we meet in this book. Really want Soren to have his HEA. Now for a gripe. I always get annoyed at the heroines when they just accept I’m sorry as the end of all the problems with very little talking about why the idiot male thought he could make all the decisions in a relationship. I always want a lot of grovelling and super good apologies to make things right. They are shifters after all. Nothing is more important than a mate.
BLUE MOON SALOON – THE MATING BITE TITLE – Whilst I have read the first two books it was really great to read the bonus story. A wonderful extra from Ms Lowe. It was wonderful to go back in time and get to share and enjoy this special time with Jess and Simon. The night they finally share mating bites to bind them together for all time and to put all the past troubles behind them. This is my honest review of this book.
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS !!! Title: Damnation Bonus Edition Series: Blue Moon Saloon Author: Anna Lowe Designation: Standalone Paranormal Romance, No Cliffhanger, HEA, Compilation of Perfection (the Series Prequel - approximately 60 pages), and Damnation, Book One of the Series (approximately 155 pages), Plus Bonus Epilogue and other Extras (approximately 20 pages) Reading Platform: Kindle & Audiobook Editions My Rating: FIVE DIVINELY ENTERTAINING STARS***** I adore paranormal romance, and no one does it better than Anna Lowe! I've been a fan of Lowe's work for several years and enjoy everything she writes, but Damnation and the Blue Moon Saloon Series have become my new favorites! But I'm not the only one who loves it. Damnation was voted Best Shifter Book for 2016 by Reality Bites Magazine. Wow! And yes, it's that good! I became officially hooked two years ago after reading Desert Moon, the first release in Lowe's The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch Series and have followed her work since. I've been a lover of the written word for over 60 years and during that time, I've read an incalculable number of books, written by a diverse collection of talented authors. So when I say Anna Lowe is one of my favorites, that's quite a recommendation. It's a little hard to explain but I'll try. Lowe is what I like to call a triple threat. lol... I know it sounds a little ominous but it's really not. You see, some authors are stronger in certain aspects of the process than others. They may have a great idea for a book or series but have difficulties developing the story and translating their thoughts to written words, while some may be good with words and story development but lack creativity and ideas. Lowe can create it, develop it, and write it, but Lowe's talent doesn't stop there. She's not only a truly gifted storyteller and skilled wordsmith, she's also one of the most reliable authors in the romance genre today, consistently penning unique and highly imaginative storylines, set in vividly depicted worlds, populated with fascinating characters who will surely capture your imagination as well as your heart. Lowe's books are all well crafted and well edited with beautiful covers. And Damnation is no exception! In addition to having my nose stuck in a book for a few hours every day, I frequently listen to audiobooks and Damnation was available so, naturally, I snagged the Audible version as well. There's nothing like listening to the characters of a story come to life through the voice of a talented narrator and I truly enjoy the artist Lowe uses for her books. Kelsey Osborne does a fabulous job and has quickly become one of my favorites. Osborne's reading and narration skills are exceptional, enhanced by her pleasing pitch, soothing dulcet tone, delightful and sometimes amusing voice inflections, rhythmic effortless cadence, and always correct pronunciations. But as usual I digress, especially when I talk about my favorite authors, so let's discuss a few details about the story itself.
Perfection is a delightfully entertaining prequel to Damnation and the actual beginning of the Blue Moon Saloon Series. It sets the stage for Simon and Jessica's relationship, giving the details of their initial meeting. It also lays the groundwork for the underlying conflict throughout the series with emphasis on the unlikely mating of two different species and in this first book, it's a wolf and bear shifter. Although Jessica's pack live near Simon's clan in Montana, they are natural enemies and don't generally associate together. In this short introduction, Lowe gives the reader all the nitty, gritty details of Jess and Simon's activities while trying to survive the freezing cold after becoming stranded together in the woods during a terrible snowstorm. And it's delicious!
Damnation is an emotionally gripping, fast-paced, well-crafted second chance paranormal romance filled to the brim with pulse-pounding danger, agonizing drama, malevolent enemies, heart-wrenching angst, fiery passion, steamy sex, dreamy romance and laugh-out-loud humor. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with his and her perspectives. The dialogue is smart, snappy, well executed and flows effortlessly. But hands down, my favorite component of every Lowe story is her cast of relatable characters. I found them to be intriguing, engaging, well developed, and at times, hilarious. I was immediately smitten with the two protagonists, beautiful, plucky she-wolf Jessica 'Jess' Macks and handsome, burly bear-shifter Simon Voss. These two could not have been more different but complemented each other perfectly, and together were an absolute riot. My emotions ran the full gambit while reading this story. I sniffed, snorted, giggled, sobbed and raged through the entire book. And there were quite a few times, I wanted to give Simon and Jess a swift kick in the butt but by the end, I was happy, satisfied and well entertained. Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but for adult readers only since it does contain some steamy, dreamy love scenes, however, I highly recommend the muffins for all ages! They're so yummy! Will I read this author again? Absolutely! I've already purchased Temptation, the second book of the series, and can hardly wait to dive in! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
Two unlikely lovers thrown together by chance, divided by obligation, haunted by loss, reunited by fate.... but will destiny grant them the second chance they each so desperately desire? We'll see! No spoilers from me but I will say this... A beautiful, strong but heartbroken she-wolf and her sister on the run for their lives after losing their entire family in an attack by rogue wolves, now urgently seeking a place to belong and call home-check! A handsome, determined bear shifter and his brother, both tortured by past failures and mistakes, desperately seeking a second chance-check! Heinous enemies with evil machinations-check! Danger, drama, heartache, loss, and angst-check! Fiery passion, steamy sex, sweet romance, a sprinkling of humor, and a heartwarming second chance at love- you bet! That and a whole lot more, including a very important lesson.... Bad guys don't always wear black, especially when he's a purist vigilante named Whyte!
***This edition includes Damnation, Book One of the Blue Moon Series, plus the novelette length prequel entitled Perfection, and an exclusive bonus epilogue available only in this release along with a few other super-duper extras. Both Damnation and Perfection are also available for purchase separately but the goodies are only included in this edition... like the berry chocolate chip muffin recipe baked by one of the characters in the book. Yum! And believe me, I should know! While I was reading/listening to Damnation and got to the scene where Simon and his bear get upset because Jess is selling 'his' muffins, I simply could not resist the craving. I tried, really, really tried but once I get muffins on the brain, there's no turning back, so I baked a batched using the bonus recipe. Surely, you know what's coming next, right? Yup, as soon as they were out of the oven, I promptly sat down and ate half of them while finishing the book and the remaining half the next day. And OMG.... they were sooo delicious! Now I understand why Simon's bear didn't want to share! lol...
Wow, an great story. I didn't want to stop reading until I finished it. Two soul mates meet again. Love how fate works in this story. Jessica is a she wolf that finds a much needed job, only to find her lover who had scorned her owns the saloon. Simon is a bear shifter who has not forgotten Jessica. Jessica and her sister Janna are running from a rogue group of wolves. Simon and his brother offer protection for the sisters. This story will keep you glued to you book. Enjoy the passion and drama? There are bonus material that makes it extra special. The recipe for raspberry chocolate muffins sounds great and is something I plan to try. Love when a story covers the first introduction to info on the happily ever after.
This is a bonus edition of Damnation that includes the prequel and a new epilogue as well as information on the series from the author. It was great to read more about the characters in the epilogue and learn more about why the author created the series.
The first book in the series is about a wolf shifter named Jessica and a bear shifter named Simon who find out they are mates. If you love the Twin Moon Ranch series, you definitely want to check out this new series which includes some of your favorite charters like Tina and Ty.
Both Jessica and Simon thought they had lost everything when a rogue pack killed their families. Jessica and her sister have been on the run for months when they meet Tina and she offers them a place to work and live. Simon and his brother thought everyone had died in the wolf and bear communities and are shocked to see them. Things did not end well for them before the attack and it is hard for them to work together. They will have to be honest and open if they want to heal the wounds.
I like the new characters as well as the fact that we get to see characters we know and love from the other series. Jessica is a strong, smart woman who has faced a great tragedy but not given up. Simon loves her and thought he was doing the right thing but it caused her tremendous pain. He is a very loving man and very devoted to those he loves. I was eager for these two to resolve their differences and find their way back together. I have read the whole series and encourage you to read all the other stories in the series.
This Story for me was very satisfying, I loved that because there was an included a prequel - Perfection and a bonus ending - The Mating Bite you could really get the full story.
Jessica and her sister Janna are all that is left of their pack the rest having been murdered by rouge wolves "purists" who believe that the wolf line should not be diluted by cross mating. Jessica's fated mate is a bear called Simon but he turned his back on her without telling her why. Simon and his brother Soren are all that is left of their clan after it was murdered by the same rouge wolves. Simon and Soren killed every wolf involved but there are still some of them alive.
Simon and Soren are running a salon under the protection of the Twin Moon Pack when they are asked to allow two sister to work there too. Simon is shocked to find that it is his "mate" Jessica and her sister and although he doesn't want to be close to Jessica, believing that she hates him, they cannot say no. Jessica doesn't want to be near Simon but has nowhere else to go. Hence they two fated mates are forced to be constantly close to each other.
Anna has written a really good story which is both moving and exciting. The sex is hot but really well written. I enjoyed the characters Soren and Janna and hope to learn more about them in future books. I was lucky enough to be given an ARC copy of this book and voluntarily decided to write a review.

Blue Moon Saloon Book 0.5 prequel This is a very short story of how Jess and Simon meet. It’s a great sweet sexy way to introduce the characters. Looking forward to the rest of the series especially as I’ve got them in audiobook and I absolutely love Kelsey Osborne
Book 1 of Blue Moon Saloon by Anna Lowe Where to start? I absolutely loved this book but to get the full story or beginning YOU MUST READ PREQUEL PERFECTION SHORT STORY BEFORE DAMNATION. This is a short story about how Simon first meets Jessica but it just beautifully starts everything off but when you start book 1 damnation you are thinking of a great romance that started so well but this first book throws you so much. Simon is a bear shifter but after been away from his clan with his brother for some time he returns to find them all dead. He and his brother end up as cook and bartender at the wild owned Blue Moon Saloon. Jessica and Janna are wolf shifter that turn up in town and running for 6 months after a rogue kills their whole pack. Such great twists in this series and I’ve only ready two books and one was a short story. The audiobook is fantastic Kelsey Osborne is a favourite of mine and narrates so beautifully. If you love shifter series that look no further then Anna Lowe
This is a new series in which characters from Anna Lowe’s Twin Moon Ranch series make an appearance, but you do not have to read that series to thoroughly enjoy and understand this book. (I have read the Twin Moon Ranch books and loved getting glimpses of some of my favorite characters from that series.) The characters in this story are easy to like or, in the case of the blue bloods, strongly dislike. The characters have strong family/pack values and have been through some extremely difficult times. They support each other and push each other in the right direction (as Soren did for Simon in this story) when it is necessary. Overall, very likeable characters, danger/suspense, romance and some steam – all which make this book enjoyable to read and leave the reader longing for the next book.
The bonus material is a must read! The bonus scene was amazing (and hot)! The Making of the Series was very interesting. I love to read about what inspired the author to write what they did and create the characters they do and I believe you will enjoy that also. I haven't tried the muffin recipe, but I plan on it!
PERFECTION is the prequel to The Blue Moon Saloon Books. It's a short standalone, fast pace story and a great way to know about how she-wolf Jessica Macks and bear shifter Simon Voss first meet. They are from neighboring clans. She's caught in the mountains during a blizzard and is trying to find shelter. She found a cave empty but homey and Jessica falls asleep, then Simon enters his den and smell a captivating scent. Then sparks fly and they realize that they are true mates. What will happen next? How they are going to approach each other packs? What will the future holds for Jess and Simon? Can't wait for more... Damnation is book one in the Blue Moon Saloon series by Anna Lowe. This's story is about Jessica Macks, a she-wolf on the run with her sister & Simon Voss, a bear shifter who has lost everything in his past. I also recommend you read Perfection first because it gives you a better understanding into Jessica and Simon's life. NO SPOILERS!! But I also highly recommend this series to any paranormal romance fan and can't wait for her next book. Bonus Edition: It was very heartwarming and you get a little more of the story of Jessica and Simon's.
This is the bonus edition so it included the prequel where Jessica originally met Simon. That is a hot and steamy story on its own. Then it moves on into the next story part, that is the actual book. Things have changed alot and at first you don't know what is going on, why they suddenly feel the way they do. As the story goes, it explains things and heats up again. It has a good epilogue that makes you want to read Jannas story later. Another bonus to this edition was the extra scene, telling how they did the mating bite. Then the author answered questions, left a recipe and a game. I definitely recommend this edition!
Another awesome story by the talented Author Anna Lowe! A branch off of Twin Moon Ranch but oh so much more! The plot is believable and the sex is smoking hot! Not only the tale of Simon and Jessica but with lots of rich bonus material too! One of my all time favorite author's! She'd be yours too after just one book! But yes I'm extremely biased when it comes to Anna Lowe.
Who knew a bear and a wolf could even be mates especially after the horrible and traumatic past they've had. Facing the odds of a rogue pack after them! Can their bond get them through all the trials to come?!
Amazing book. The details are so in depth it's like you are right there the whole time. I hated seeing the end. Jess and Simon are exhilarating characters. Can't wait to read about Janna and Soren finding their way and their mates.
A bear and a wold mates. What? Great characters, steamy hot and the proof love builds bridges. Sink into this fast paced shifter romance for a good read.
Jessica, a wolf shifter, decided to take a little walk and was caught by an unexpected blizzard. As she's desperately looking for shelter, she finds a bear den and knows she has to take the risk of using it.
It isn't long before she realizes someone else was using it first...Simon, a bear shifter, had been in his den until he felt an overwhelming need to find something. Although it seems that should be someone, as his bear is very happy to see Jessica.
Simon and Jessica, feeling an unexplainable attraction, realize that they can speak in each other's minds. Wait, what? For shifters, that happens within packs/clans sometimes but also when you meet your mate, but a bear and a wolf mating. That's just not done. Yet, they can't fight it.
They know that they just can't announce their mating without laying some groundwork first, which could take a while, and they continue to meet in secret in the meantime.
But will things work out that way? Will Simon and Jessica get their HEA? Or will they be forced apart, living without their other half?
One-click now and see the beginning of Simon and Jessica's story in the prequel of Anna's new series. Their story will continue in book two, Damnation.
Damnation (Blue Moon Saloon #1)
Simon and Jessica met approximately four years ago and pretty quickly realized they're mates. However, they both know it's not going to be an easy path to their future as they'll need to convince his bear clan and her wolf pack to form an alliance, allowing them to be mated.
Well it seems things didn't go as planned as Jessica believes, due to his actions after the mating being approved, that Simon didn't want her after all. Now Jessica and her sister, Janna, are running from the rogues that killed their whole pack six months ago. They come upon Tina, of the Twin Moon pack (read that series, you'll love it), and end up being hired as waitresses for the Blue Moon Saloon. Tina takes them to the saloon and Jessica comes face to face with Simon, the mate that repeatedly rejected her.
Simon and his older brother, Soren, asked for permission to revive the saloon. They both needed to escape the memories of losing their family, their whole clan, six months ago and knew they had to start over somewhere else.
Simon's bear and Jessica's wolf are yearning for their mate, yet to Jessica's human side he'll always be the man that broke her heart. After a year of convincing their families to agree to the mating, and the bears finally agccepting it, Simon devastated her by saying it was only a fling and he was moving on. *sobbing for her* Then at every unavoidable gathering for two years, he continually broke her heart with insulting comments here and there. *prepares to throat punch him* What Jessica didn't know is that the agreed mating concerned Jessica and Soren, not Simon, thus Simon did what he felt was the only way to keep Jessica protected. *Uh oh. Plot twist.*
Can Simon and Jessica work through what happened? Will Jessica understand why Simon acted that way once she learns the truth about the clan/pack mating agreement? Will Jessica and Janna ever be safe from the rogues? Will Simon and Jessica get their second chance for a HEA? Will Janna find her happiness? Will Soren be able to go on after losing his intended mate? I'm looking forward to reading books two and three to get the answers to those last two questions.
One-click now to continue Simon and Jessica's story, as well as meeting the main characters for the next two books. You'll go through a range of emotions as the story, the characters, pull you in and you hope everything works out, allowing these two to finally start their future together.
This bonus edition also includes special sections such as Simon and Jessica's mating bite, as well as peeks into the making of this series, a specific look into the making of Damnation, a recipe for Jessica's raspberry muffins, some games, and two sneak peeks.
**I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.**
These stories are the romantic journey of how Simon and Jessica meet their destiny. There is a sweet happy ever after but several hurdles must be conquered before it is reached; action, suspense, danger, true friendship, letting go of the past, following your heart, and passionate sensuous romance keeps you hooked until the end.

DAMNATION BONUS EDITION by Anna Lowe
PERFECTION(Blue Moon Saloon #0.5)
One stormy winters night she-wolf Jessica Macks finds herself lost and unable to find her way home. Whilst looking for shelter, she comes across a cave. She's heard the stories about her mysterious neighbors but she has no other choice but to enter the unoccupied bears den. It's not long before she has unwanted company, in the form of Simon Voss. They bump heads, both as stubborn as each other, but soon lower their defences to cuddle up and keep warm. But Simon and Jess soon realise there are other forces at play in the cozy den, destiny. They are fated mates. Giving into temptation is one thing, a mating of two different kinds of shifters is a whole different issue.
This is a short story of how Simon and Jess meet. It's a sweet introduction to Damnation, an idea of how they met and how their story begins. Their story continues in Damnation.
DAMNATION(Blue Moon Saloon #1)
Jessica Macks and her sister have been on the run from purist rogues for months. When they stop in a small town and find themselves jobs in the local shifter bar, it seems like it could be their safe haven. But what she doesn't expect, is for her new boss to be the man she once loved. The man who turned his back on her and broke her heart. If it wasn't for the fact that Jess and her sister are so desperate, she would walk right back out those doors. So she accepts the job but stays as far away from the bear as she possibly can, she won't let him break her heart again. Simon Voss is shocked to find out one of his new employees his the woman he once loved, still loves. A she-wolf he was forced to turn his back on and thought was dead. When Simon is obliged to not only hire Jess but work side by side with her everyday, it makes him and his bear crazy. Half in heaven, half in hell. His never forgotten her, and by the anger radiating off her she hasn't forgotten him either. But with trouble heading their way, is this just another path to heartbreak or will he get another chance to claim his destined mate?
This was a amazing book, a fantasic start to a new series. I loved the storyline, it was entertaining and very enjoyable. The characters were so sweet, and I really felt sorry for Simon and Jess and all they had to go through to get to where they wanted to be, where they were destined to be. As I did for Soren as well. So I'm really looking forward to reading his and Janna's stories. It was nice to catch up with old friends as well. So overall a awesome read, loved it!
This wonderful bonus edition also includes some tasty tidbits, a glance into the making of this series, a certain delicious recipe, and some games. There are also two sneek previews, which I'm very excited to read. So overall a very exciting read!
Damnation - Bonus Edition by Anna Lowe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WOW! This storyline just reminded me how much I love reading Anna Lowe's Blue Moon Saloon Series. I have to say I absolutely adored reading Perfection, Damnation and now Damnation Bonus Edition. I didn't want to stop reading the Bonus Edition, I'm amazed that my feeling was just what Anna intended us to feel. This reminded me that this is a series that I will read over and over again. Anna Lowe is a awesome creative and talented writer. She is right I didn't want this story to end. I got it so bad that I wanted the bonus part to be a full length story. Because Bears, Wolves, Lions, Tigers and Dragons are my favorite shifters. I thought it's awesome for shifters to mix races of shifters as their mates, this makes it so real. Anna storyline is fast paced, well written and so captivating. The characters are so real and credible, the dialogue is sensual, breathtaking and witty. Her scene descriptions are graphic, picturesque and thrilling. This is a fantastic spin off from the Twin Moon Wolves series; I adore when the characters from the previous series that I know and love are added to the new series. The friendly Bear shifters are allowed in the wolf territory to help protect it. This gives the storyline more depth and makes it intriguing. Simon and Jessica are loving, passionate and very devoted to each other. I have read four of the books in this series and they are awesome entertainment.
I love that the author put just the right amount of romance, suspense, action and sensual scenes. I like that it's scorching hot but the sexy sensual scenes don't over power the storyline. I love how she presents a view of diversity in the shifter community it's not usually done, which makes this storyline unique. The characters have a true sense of family and extend family. We are shown how the mates love journey is full ups and downs and how when you take a mate from outside the 'normal' realm finding a mate can have both positive and negative impacts. I can’t wait to read the next book in this captivating series. If you are like me and love reading shifter romance, than this is definitely a book you want to add to your library and TBR List. I am voluntarily reviewing a book gifted to me by the author with no obligation. Without reservations, highly I recommend this book.
If you believe in the world of paranormal romance, the possibilities are endless and fascinating!

**I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book**
Perfection PERFECTION is such a fun prequel to The Blue Moon Saloon Books. It's a fact paced, quick read about Jessica (a she-wolf) and Simon (a bear shifter) and how they first met. Jessica goes out for a quick run when she finds herself caught in a snowstorm. She finds shelter in a cave which she soon realizes once had a bear in it. Simon returns to his gave after going out and finds Jessica in his cave. The chemistry is ricocheting around the cave. In order to survive the freezing cold temperatures of the night, they agree to sleep together to help keep warm but nothing more. By the time they wake up, they realize they have shifted and more is definitely on the menu.
Damnation Picks up 5 years later after Perfection. Jessica is now a she-wolf on the run with her sister from a bunch of rogues who killed her family and are after them. Simon and his brother are bears and they too are escaping some rogue killers that took out their family and pack. Jessica and her sister are taken in by Simon and his brother to work in their saloon and live above it. Remember, Simon and Jessica were lovers 5 years earlier but things kept them apart. Unfortunately (or luckily) neither of them ever got over their lost love. But what caused this pain? Can they overcome their past together to build a future? I was rooting for them the whole time. You can totally feel the tension and pain while they endured working together. Of course, it wouldn't be a great book if there wasn't some extra tension when the rogue killers eventually track down Jessica and her sister while Simon is away with his brother.
What's totally awesome about this book is that it gives you some great BONUS SCENES!
First, you get the mating bite. Jessica and Simon finally get together and can see their future together but you never get to see the crucial Mating Bite securing one to the other, until now. They totally deserved this scene. You can just feel the raw yet powerful desire between the two of them. What I also thought was so cool was how Anna Lowe also gave you some insights into the making of the series and where her inspiration came from. This is a book you don't want to miss. Love this series!
Damnation Bonus Edition Perfection Blue Moon Saloon Prequel Perfection, the story of how Jessica and Simon met and recognized each one as mates. A she- wolf and a bear- shifter, how could they make a relationship work? Her wolf was sure that everything would be fine but, it is so? This well written story is the prequel to Damnation where we are going to know what destiny had in store for Jessica and Simon. This was an interesting short story that left me eager for more. Love these stories with drama and passion. Damnation by Anna Another exciting story in the Blue Moon series. Jess and Janna were trying to hide from evil rogues looking for them. They accepted Tina’s offer to work at the Blue Moon Saloon unknowing there was the man who had played with Jess’ feelings and had left her rejected and heart broken. The tension escalated between them and both were denying their feelings unable to voice what was in their hearts. Simon needed his mate and had to make a great effort to win her back. Still the Blue Blood was threatening the sisters and they had to fight for their lives. The story was great, charge with emotions and regrets of what could had been. Jess and Simon had been struggling with their feelings all the time reading wrong into the other. There was action, suspense, intrigue, violence and hot scenes in the story. Seems that Jenna is going to have her chance and Soren could have read wrong Fate’s messages. I like so much these amazing and entertaining stories. The Mating Bite Time for Simon and Jess to take the next step. Enough waiting. The time had come to exchange the mating bite. Steamy hot with two shifters that are ready for forever. Also, the author shared a recipe of a yummy dessert and her inspirations to the making of the stories. What else we can wait for? Very good book. Just sharing my opinion of these stories that I liked very much and now are together in a bonus edition.
This is a Fantastic beginning of the love story with Simon Voss and Jessica Mack who met in a cave during a terrible storm that left her seeking shelter for her life even though she knew that it belonged to a bear she was sure if the bear was using it it would have been in it but she was willing to fight to stay in the warmth against the killer storm outside but when she met the big beautiful bear who came around the corner of her refuge and she was terrified but something about him made her feel like he wouldn't hurt her Simon was sure that he had just met his fated mate and she smelled beautiful and wild but he couldn't wait to see her in her human form but he told her he wouldn't do anything that she didn't want him to do she believed him and a relationship others could only dream of was about to unfold until it ended and Simon was a cowardly Bear by not telling Jess what the elders decided. Then the unimaginable happened and life changed for both families forever the Mack sisters were on the run for their lives and they ran all the way to Arizona where they came upon the Twin Moon Ranch and the Alpha and his sister Tina took the sisters under their wing, just so happens that the Voss brothers were managing the Blue Moon Saloon when Tina brought the sisters in they were just as shocked as the brothers were to find each other in the same place Simon was very upset and just wanted to make sure that Jess left and found a happy future even though he wanted that future to be with him but he was still not willing to tell her the truth and she thought he hated her and she wanted to hate him but there is a thin line between love and hate for those two. But when Jess started baking muffins things seem to change for the better for she and Simon as well as the Saloon. Love the bonus edition with Simon and Jessica. The muffin recipe is Delicious. I have provided an honest review for the ARC of this book.
