Ghost Cats 2 [Paperback]

Revenge II: Reya Lynx is a shape-shifter who has found her mate, but
refuses to accept him in front of the council. She believes that she
has to be independent, her own woman instead of falling second to her
male mate. These two are an on again, off again pair. During one of
their off periods, Reya encounters a demon that refuses to let her go.
He wants her as his own and imprisons her, making her endure horrible
things. When she finally escapes him, he doesn't let her go, instead
he seeks her out to capture her again. This time Lorenzo, her mate,
steps in and forces Reya to tell him what happened to her so that they
can work this out together. Does Lorenzo save her from another round
with the demon and convince her to claim him as her mate in front of
the Council?

Carnal Instinct: This second story is about Fiona LaSalle. When her
ex-boyfriend leaves her, taking everything she owns with him, she has
to crawl back to her father for help. Instead of just handing her
cash, he makes her get a job, one that he chooses.

Fiona is not good at anything. She was born into a rich family and
until now has been handed everything she has wanted on a silver
platter. Working on a wild life reserve was one of the worst things her
father could have made her do, she was totally out of every element
she'd ever known. Here she finds an unexpected outlet for her pain
while she vents to a lion about all of her problems, including the need
to find sexual release. Maybe a one-night stand would do her good and
get her ex out of her mind so that she can move on.

King, or actually Cade, is a shape-shifting lion. The wild life
reserve gives him a place to lounge around and enjoy the outdoors
without being in danger. When a new woman appears and starts taking
out her anger over her ex-boyfriend on him and venting out her sexual
frustrations to him, he finds that she is a little more than
irresistible. When she innocently reveals her desire for a one night
stand to King, the man inside the lion fights for release and the need
to be that man. Will their passion end in a one-night stand?

Dance of Souls: The third tale, tells the story of Mason Blackwolf and
Chandra Holbeck. Chandra is a gifted woman that is a spirit guide for
those that die. She comes back into town and finds her grandfather
and a friend at the local bar being harassed by a group of shape
shifting wolves. In the corner, Mason sits watching the group and the
women. Just when he wants to step in to save them, he finds himself
pinned to his seat and forced to witness the powers of one of the
women. She is beautiful and graceful and kicks some serious butt.
Something inside him knows that they are connected, but he can't break
free to save her. When Chandra's ex steps in and kills one of the
shape shifters, can Chandra fight the souls that try to take her with
them to the afterlife, or will she need help to save her own soul?

This anthology is remarkable! Three fabulous stories all revolving
around some form of cats. Ms. Clark does a fantastic job with Revenge
II. Reya's episode with Nybras, the demon is well told and pulled at
my heartstrings. When she finally claims Lorenzo and lets him in on
her secret, I just felt the two of them click in place. This story had
all the elements a reader wants to see, a great plot, well-defined
characters, and a wonderful ending! Way to go Ms. Clark, I will
definitely recommend this story.

Ms. Pillow's story Carnal Instinct grabbed me from the moment Fiona
started talking to the lion. Her character comes across as the spoiled
little rich girl, but as the story progresses, you see how she changes
into the woman she needs to be. Cade is a very sexy hero, who I
believe supports Fiona on her perilous journey into an unknown future.
This story is my absolute favorite in this anthology, but none of them
disappoint. If you like shape-shifting cats then this is the story for
you!

Mandy M. Roth's Dance of Souls is an intriguing story that weaves
Native American folklore and traditions together to form a delightful
story. Chandra and Mason fuel the passion without even really
touching. During Chandra's fight, you can feel the need for the two of
them to get together. I love the twist with Mason at the end, which
makes the two of them, as a couple, even more important to the world.
Ms. Roth tells a captivating story that had me turning the pages to the
very end. I look forward to reading more of her stories and hope to
see more from this shape-shifting world she has created!
