Chanku Destiny - Kate Douglas

 

Present Day

 

Destiny has a strange way of bringing things about. Anton Cheval and Stefan Aragat, Chanku packmates, are now fathers and simply adore their mates and offspring. While Oliver, their butler, is away, the four adults find no food in the house and therefore venture forth to the grocery store. After leaving the store, they hear a woman scream for help -- in their minds -- letting them know she is Chanku. They rescue Eve from a terrible fate and take her home with them. Meanwhile, Oliver stops to pick up a hitchhiker named Adam Wolf. It starts to rain, the truck breaks down leaving Oliver and Adam with nothing to do but wait out the storm. Oliver tells Adam things that even Anton, his boss, knows nothing about. The next day Adam fixes the truck and heads home with Oliver. Once there, Adam learns many shocking things: One, he's a Chanku, two, the woman in his dreams, Manda, is his twin sister, and three, Eve is his mate. The only problem is...Eve doesn't know it yet or isn't willing to admit it.

 

Isn't destiny or fate funny that way? The attraction between Adam and Eve is palpable. So much sexual tension swirls around them that it reaches out to another of their kind, helping to heal. With Chanku Destiny, Kate Douglas adds another exciting tale about the Chanku that will have fans of the series clamoring for more.

 

Abundance - Deanna Lee

 

Planet Abundance – Future

 

Placed into a stasis pod while she travels to her fiancé, a man old enough to be her father, Kayla Michaels awakens to darkness and silence. Is she dead? Is she floating is space? Only one way to find out. She opens the pod and finds herself in the middle of the jungle. Not only that, but there's a huge cat watching her from the tree above. However, when the cat jumps to the ground and shifts into a gorgeous, naked man, Kayla is speechless. Who is he and where is she? Jude Aroca, soon-to-be leader of the Yaw(cat people) can smell the human woman and it's intoxicating. He can't leave her here for the others to find, so he takes her with him to his home. She arouses him like no other and that surprises and excites him. Could this human woman be his mate?

 

It’s a road of discovery for Kayla and Jude as they explore the attraction between them. The jungle heats up exceedingly when the two have sex. Jude shows Kayla what it means to be taken by a Yaw man. <g> Deanna Lee writes a steamy tale that will arouse the cat lover in all of us with Abundance.

 

Passion of the Cat – Dawn Thompson

 

The Hindu Kush, Winter 1810; England

 

Captain Lyle Clarridge, Earl of Blackmoor awakens to find a gorgeous woman kneading his chest…his naked chest. The last thing he remembers is the snow leopard attacking him, knocking him to the ground and tearing into his shoulder before blissful unconsciousness took him. Now lying here beneath a woman who smells of exotic spices, Lyle is turned on to the point of pain. And it seems that his lovely caretaker, Ihita, is more than willing to take care of his uh…rising problem for him. Is she a sorceress? He doesn’t have a chance to find out for he has to return to England. Only once he’s home, Lyle is restless, has a hard-on that won’t quit causing him to wear his mistress, Lydia out, and he misses Ihita. Her scent is all he can think about even while visiting Lydia.

 

What is wrong with him? Suddenly he has memory lapses, thinks about nothing but sex and Ihita. All his questions will be answered…in time. <g> In Passion of the Cat, Dawn Thompson pens an arousing story of a man changing…turning…searching. But searching for what? Turning into what?

 

Three enticing tales written by three talented ladies are what readers will find beneath the covers of SEXY BEAST IV. All three stories are enjoyable and intriguing, but my favorites were Chanku Destiny and Abundance. Amidst the sex and arousal, there is also a story within the chapters of these delectable romances.
