TEMPTED BY THE PACK
(Blue Moon Brides, 1)
Once in a blue moon…
For Rafer
Breaux, life in the Louisiana Bayou is harsh, violent—and deeply sensual. The
Cajun werewolf lives for his Pack and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep his
brothers safe. The longer a wolf lives without a mate, the harder it becomes
for that wolf to shift back. To remember that he is a man—and not a monster.
And those mates can only be found during a blue moon. When a blue moon finally
rises, Rafer will need every weapon in his sensual arsenal to tempt one special
woman into his arms and the heart of the Pack.
The Pack hunts for mates
Fighting to
keep her family farm, Lark Andrews isn’t looking for love. Even if the very
sexy Breaux brothers make her dream of hot bayou nights spent in their arms.
When the blue moon leads Rafer to her door, however, Rafer has her rethinking
her position on all work and no play. Now, the bayou nights are heating up as
Rafer fights to convince her, one sensual touch at a time, to give love and
passion a chance. But Rafer isn’t a one wolf deal. Is there room in Lark’s
heart—and bed—for Rafer and his Pack?

PLEASURED BY THE PACK
(Blue Moon Brides, 2)
Dre and
Landry Breaux do everything together. Fishing, fighting—and loving. A whole lot
of loving. When the blue moon leads these Cajun werewolves to their fated mate,
however, they’re ready to reform. Now, they’ll fight to keep the woman of their
dreams safe from the evils lurking in the Louisiana bayou—and to tempt her into
taking a chance on two of the bayou’s sexiest bad boys.
Mary Jane
Johnson is no heartbreaker. Running from a troubled past, the bayou captain
wants only to be left alone. When she takes a pair of bayou bad boys on board,
however, Dre and Landry have her rethinking her need for space. These two big
males have promised to take orders—all of her orders. Suddenly, she’s dreaming
of getting as close as possible… to both of the Breaux brothers.

CLAIMED BY THE PACK(Blue Moon Brides, 3)
The
rising of the Blue Moon will lead the Pack to their destined mates… but some
women are hard to claim.
Alpha to the
bone, Cajun shifter Dag Breaux must find his Blue Moon bride to preserve his
humanity. Each passing day sees him lost further and further in the shift, more
wolf than man. Emotions and feelings are foreign territory for Dag and all he
has to offer his newfound female is raw, passionate sex and protection from the
centuries-old vampire stalking the Louisiana bayou.
Bayou
mechanic Riley Jones stands on her own two feet. Always. She doesn’t need or
want Dag’s infuriating brand of protection. Plus, she has secrets of her own
that she’s desperate to keep. But there’s no denying the passion that burns
between them and in the arms of her rough and tough shifter she discovers a
darkly sensuous, no-holds-barred loving. When the vampire threatens Riley’s
nearest and dearest, she must ask herself if resisting Dag’s mate claim is
worth losing everything she cares about… or if teaching her wolf to love is
worth the risk.

Interview:
I would like to welcome and thank Ann Marsh for taking the time to answer the following author interview questions.
What is your favorite
part of the Blue Moon Brides Series?
The chases…
I love me a good chase, particularly when the heroine knows she’s going to let
the hero catch her! The wolf pack chases Lark Andrews in the first Blue Moon
book, TEMPTED BY THE PACK, and I enjoyed writing every minute of it. Wolves
love to chase, love playing those kinds of catch-me-if-you-can-and-then-what?
games and there’s the whole erotic potential of just what happens when the hero
does catch up with the heroine
(because he always does). My wolves apparently have some very naughty fantasies
indeed—and they certainly don’t mind sharing.
What inspired you to
write your first book?
I got laid
off from my dream job at Pixar. I didn’t really see it coming and, even though
it was a business decision on Pixar’s part, it still wasn’t any fun for me. I
went home, cried my eyes out, ate an enormous bag of M&Ms and then decided
that I could either eat my way into a sugar coma (seriously tempting) or do
something that I really wanted to do (which wasn’t gain five pounds in a day).
I decided that I’d always wanted to write a romance novel so, while I looked
for a new job, I’d do that and readers could tell me to take a hike instead of
corporate. Furthermore, I decided I’d write something fun, with all my favorite
parts—a rebound book to enjoy the hell out of while I fielded questions from
Human Resources about “Where do you see yourself in five years?” and “Why do
you want to work for us?” (Because I have a mortgage? And you’re hiring?). The
result was THE HUNT, which had lion shifters, a really, really alpha hero
butting heads with a kick-ass heroine, some (okay, lots of) kinky sex, and a
hot chase scene.
What is your favorite
book that you wrote?
Honestly,
it’s usually (I’m fickle) whichever book I just finished writing but haven’t
yet received edits on. I’m pretty partial to PLEASURED BY THE PACK, however. I
loved the dynamic between Dre and Landry Breaux and the woman they both fall in
love with. Dre is rough, tough and gruff… Landry is more playful. Mary Jane is
a little softer and gentler than some of the other heroines I’ve written and I
loved having the chance to pit her quiet strength against my Cajun bad boys.
Who is your favorite
author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?
Sarah
McCarty. She writes hot, hot sex, but there is so much emotional and character
development going on between the hero and the heroine when she gets the two of
them into bed together. Plus, she does wounded alpha males better than
anyone—her Shadow Reapers series is absolutely fantastic, as are her anthology
collections (RUNNING WILD and WILD INSTINCT). She’s definitely on my auto-buy
list.
Can you share a
little of your current work with us?
I’m currently finishing
the Blue Moon Brides series. There will be five books in the series—all dark,
sexy Cajun werewolves who are alpha to the core. The first three books are out as
you know, and I’m working on the fourth one. I’m also continuing my
contemporary Smoke Jumper series, with Rio Donovan’s book in December (BURNS SO
BAD) and more books in March (SWEET BURN) and April (SMOKING HOT). Kensington
is also releasing the second and third novellas in my Hotshots series (HOT ZONE
and FIRED UP in January and February). Finally, I’m editing my first Harlequin
Blaze, which is being released in July 2014 as WICKED SEXY (which I was tickled
to see they categorized as erotic… oops… doing my part to bring the sexy to
Harlequin!). Now that I say all that, I understand why I’m so tired!
What book are you
reading now?
Kristan
Higgins’ SOMEBODY TO LOVE. She writes
the best sexual tension + closed door sex ever… the chemistry between Parker
Welles and James Cahill is fabulous. And who knew a lawyer who starts out as
Daddy’s slimy go-to guy is actually the good guy in disguise? I’m used to reading
authors who take me right into the bedroom and get fairly explicit, so Higgins
has been a fun change for me. The sexual tension just burns up the pages, but
then she gently shuts the door on me and—who knew?—it turns out that I’m okay
with using my own imagination to fill in the gaps ;)
What do you prefer
paperback, hardcover, or ebooks?
Paperback or
hardcover—anything print! I think it’s fantastic that there are all these
choices and the instant gratification of ebooks are seductive but I’m a paper
girl. I like looking at books, touching books, piling them up into precarious
book mountains… you name it. I spent years working in libraries and my favorite
part of the job was opening the shipments of new books. It was Christmas every
day! (particularly since I got to keep the duplicates). Moving men hate me,
though, because apparently lugging a hundred boxes of books up and down the
stairs isn’t the best part of their job.
Do you have anything
specific that you want to say to your readers?
A heartfelt thank you. Writing wouldn’t be the same
without having someone to share it with, and I can’t begin to tell all of you
how grateful and inspired and tickled I am when someone emails or Facebooks and
says: Hey! I read your book and it was just what I needed after a long, crappy
work week. Knowing you’re reading and enjoying makes all the difference when
it’s four a.m. and I’m staring at the laptop!
Giveaway:
I am loving this series. It is really sexy and I love Alpha men. I can't wait to read more in the series.
