Jack was changed into a shifter against his will by his ex-boyfriend Pedro. He has been on the run most of his life. Now, he’s hiding from his ex praying the abusive jerk doesn’t find him. Jack has finally settled into a routine; an insignificant job that pays the bills but, more importantly, he’s met the stunning Raul. Raul flips his switch. He comes in to Jack’s work every day to each lunch with him. Jack really wants to make a move but how would Raul respond to the fact that Jack is a werewolf? Jack knows Pedro is going to catch up with him one day can he put another at risk? Jack has been submissive his entire life. What will it take for him to take charge and become the dominant Alpha he is meant to be?
Friday Night is an exciting romantic book. Jack and Raul are so darling together. I was rooting for them from the start. I enjoyed the journey that Jack goes on, from the beginning to the end; he really discovers who he truly is. There was a nice bit of shifter action in there as well but Jack stole the show. He is a unique and endearing character. Raul’s sister was a hoot as well. Friday Night is date night and this book is definitely a good one to snuggle up with on any night.

A Review for Ghost of His Past

“Ghost of His Past” is a very nostalgic and gentle type of story; it’s about broken pasts meddling unsuccessfully with the present and dangerously with what the future may come to. The author does well to combine certain aspects and make it work. The contemporary setting, with the religious overtones mingled with a slight paranormal element, made this story a fascinating read...

Mike can only watch helplessly as powerful emotions run across his lover’s face. This trip home to Greece is suddenly looking a lot less like a vacation, and more like a death sentence.

The closer he gets to home, the harder it is for Demitri to hide his pain. So many memories and so much heartache surround his tiny home village, but he needs to bury his past if he is to ever move forward.

Fissions of fear and trepidation creep up Mike’s spine the closer they get to Demitri’s home. Something has happened here that Demitri is hiding, and Mike cannot help but feel their relationship could be in serious jeopardy. Staying in his grandmother’s home finally forces the issue for Demitri when Mike experiences much more than tingling suspicions. The pain, the guilt, and the fear all come to a head, but will Mike and Demitri survive the fallout, or will Demitri’s past reclaim his heart?

The opening paragraph sets the scene for this emotionally heart-wrenching love story. The relationship between Mike and Demitri feels like you are treading on thin ice, and at any moment someone is going to crash right through. I could not help but want to know more about Mike’s past as well, given his relentless insecurities. This is not a lighthearted feel good story, but one that will hopefully open your eyes and hearts to the pain these men face on a daily basis when they have to hide their love due to society's prejudices.
