DESCRIPTION

Royal Pride, Book 1

Since the murder of her best friend, Jazz is stuck in a safe but lonely way of life. She’s willing to sacrifice everything to keep her family safe from the shifter world. The sexy stranger who struts into her friend’s bar changes everything. From the first glance Jazz knows she’s sunk—their chemistry sizzles from across the room, it’ll be undeniable up close.

Rafe wants Jazz from the second he sets eyes on her. The depth of the need that swamps him every time he’s near her surprises him. It takes every last ounce of his self-control not to pounce on Jazz and make her his. Only her distrust of his shifter nature holds him back. He counts it as a win every time his beloved human gives in to their passion and takes him to her bed. But Rafe’s patience isn’t infinite and he’ll do whatever it takes, face any danger—past or present—to ensure that Jazz becomes his. Forever.

A Romantica® Paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave

NANCY CORRIGAN

Nancy Corrigan has always had an active imagination. When she finally sat down to pen her first novel, she found her sweet romance had too much spice. After trying to tone it down and failing, she gave in and let her characters have their way. She’s glad she did. Because isn’t the best romance the kind with lots of amazing sex anyway?

She’s lucky enough to share her cat's home with three wonderful children, husband, dog and snake. When not writing, she works in a pharmaceutical lab.

Her passions beyond family and reading include music, classic cars, tattoos and animals (all of which have found their way into her writing in one form or another). 

Favorite Quotes

Josh tilted his head and looked in her direction. Anger was stamped on his face but the scowl and narrowed eyes lessened when he met her gaze. She pointed to him then herself. He nodded and the man with him turned his head. She was too far away to see the color of his eyes but they pierced her, seemed to look straight through her. Unblinking, they swept over her in a blatant perusal. Her breath caught and her skin burned under his heated study.

She had the sudden urge to hide but his gaze trapped her. She couldn’t move. The reaction struck her as odd. He wasn’t the first guy to look at her. She didn’t need to act as if his attention was anything special but she still studied him as intensely as he did her. It was impossible not to. He was a sight to behold.

His face was all hard angles and tan skin that looked golden in the wash of light from a nearby beer sign. Blond hair went with the sun-kissed skin. It was pulled in a tail at the base of his head. From the length held in the band, she guessed that unbound it would just brush his shoulders. A surfer. That’s what he reminded her of. She could easily picture him on the beach with a surfboard and a following of bikini-clad women.

She swept her gaze over the length of a body she wouldn’t mind seeing in a pair of swim trunks…or less. His chest rose and fell with quick breaths as if he’d just run a mile. Maybe barefoot and naked across the sand? Oh yeah, she liked that image. It made the horrors of the day disappear.

She smiled and focused on his face. His full lips were parted slightly with pants that explained his heaving chest. She stared at them until one corner of his mouth lifted and he turned his head, breaking the trance.

“Fine. The next hot guy who shows any interest in me,” she paused and thought about how Josh flirted with her every chance he got, “will be the one I take home.”

“Ummm, now that’s an offer I can’t resist.”

Jazz pivoted and stared at the wide expanse of muscle in front of her. A black tee stretched over a well-defined chest and stomach. Her gaze slid down. A narrow waist met lean, denim-covered hips. She stared at the growing bulge in his pants open-mouthed. An answering spark of arousal lighted within her. Shivers of awareness, the same ones that had skipped down her spine a few minutes ago, traveled from the hardening tips of her breasts to her clit. The bundle of nerves seemed to suddenly take on a heartbeat of its own. She squirmed and a low groan came from the man standing in front of her.

He tipped her chin up until she met his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. Exotic, up-tilted honey-gold eyes were framed by long blond lashes. Specks of color floated in those oddly bright eyes—brown, blue, green. Beautiful and downright captivating. She couldn’t tear her gaze from them.

Another low, appreciative sound spilled from him. Her gaze dropped to his mouth. Full lips, parted slightly, glistened as if he’d licked them. She swiped her tongue across her suddenly dry ones. Her breath came faster and the fingers holding her chin tightened, not painfully, but more in accompaniment of his moan. She slid her gaze to his and wondered if her eyes betrayed her desire. His did. Half-lidded, dilated and drowsy, they mapped her face before focusing on her mouth.

“Am I hot enough for you?” His thumb traced the lips she’d licked. “Because you’ve caught my attention.” He bent closer and warm, cinnamon-scented breath bathed her face. “I’m interested, little female. Very, very interested.”

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Jasmine(aka Jazz) befriended a homeless women  named Nina who was 9 months pregnant and tried to get her to live with her but she wouldn’t. She tried to explain to Jazz that she was a shifter and her husband was after her and would take her children and sell them and kill her. Jazz did not believe she was a shifter. One night Jazz was supposed to meet Nina and make sure she was alright and just talk but Nina never showed up so Jazz when looking for her and found her after she shifted. When Nina shifted back she told Jazz to take the twins she just had and keep and protect them and shifted and ran.  Later that night Jazz found out Nina was killed. She kept the children safe.

Rafe was a shifter himself that was looking for the shifter who killed his sister and sold their children on the black market. While in a bar waiting to talk to someone Jazz walks in and Rafe knew she would be his and his alone.  Jazz was unsure if she want to be around Rafe but gave into her lust for him.  Walking up the next day she found out that Rafe was a shifter and she ran. She ran to protect her children.  Can she hide from Rafe and the shifter that is after her? Or will Rafe find her and protect her? What will Rafe do once he finds out her secret?

This is the first book in the Royal Pride series and it is a great start to the series. I cannot wait for the next one. This story has hot shifters, murder, very hot shifters, demanding alpha males, humans, surprises and suspense.  Oh and did I tell you very hot sexy shifters and hot sex.. I love this story and will definitely read the rest of the series.
