Paranormal Erotic romance with m/m interaction

Chicago, Illinois – the Present

Jesse and Emma are best friends who secretly want to take their friendship to the next level.  Emma is hesitant to make the first move because she knows that Jesse is in love with Gideon, his vampire lover.  Jesse is scared to approach Emma because she is in a relationship with Ethan, who is teaching her to control her empathic abilities.  So, armed with this knowledge, Jesse and Emma attempt to hide their feelings from one another until Gideon decides to take control of the situation.  He approaches Emma to discuss the way Jesse feels about her.  He also tells her that having a relationship with Jesse would also mean she would be in their relationship…

Emma knows what that will entail because she has seen Jesse after a bout of Gideon’s love making.  Bite marks and bruises are difficult for Jesse to hide.  But, she is willing to go for the gusto to be with the man she loves- even if that means breaking Ethan’s heart.

When I read the first few pages of MOSAIC MOON, I was struck by the freshness of Jamie Craig’s writing.  Craig gives each character a life of their own and knows just how to hook a reader by impressing on each character’s distinct personalities.  By the time the first sex scene hit the stage, I was so wound up because I knew I was in for a treat.  But the gory details of sex between Gideon and Jesse instantly turned me off.  I still wanted to know, though, how Emma, Jesse and Gideon’s story plays out.  I am so glad that I stuck with this one because despite that one scene, the rest of this e-book is packed with delicious erotica intertwined with a little suspense. 

MOSIAC MOON actually smokes when these three characters play together for the first time.  Jesse is a beautiful, shy and sexy character with a sharp mind and who does not mind mixing pleasure with a little pain.  Gideon is a bad-ass vamp who deeply loves Jesse and is willing to share him with Emma just to make him happy.  Gideon is also a complete Dom in the bedroom, so just imagine what could happen if he changed roles who played the submissive just once (ok, I know that is a teaser!)  Emma is a sweet treat to both men who is ready to let go of her inhibitions.  She cares for Gideon but is in love with Jesse and is willing to do anything for him…even practice a little BDSM (another teaser).  There is also an unexpected twist involving black magic and a grave robber that adds a level of suspense to MOSIAC MOON.  Although MOSIAC MOON is a stand alone tale, it only hints at how Emma met Gideon and Jesse.  Since this story was so good, so good in fact that I am going to find the first two The Master Chronicles to get up to speed.  Yeah, it was that good.
