The complete erotic romance series Moon Lovers (BBW Werewolf Romance) available here in one single package. Tasha Taylor finds her dream boy is closer to a fantasy nightmare when gang members target her for their wicked intentions.
**All titles are available separately.**
Moon Lovers #1:
Tasha Taylor was an average woman with an above-average waistline, but one night all that (except the waistline) changes when she's attacked in the laundry room. Her savior is a large shadow with glowing golden eyes, and her new enemies are a group of hanky-wearing thugs who want to go through her to get at her hero. Now she has to juggle assassination attempts, crooked cops, the attentions of her reclusive apartment manager, Greg Garrison, and a growing desire for cut meats.
Can she keep herself alive long enough to find out who saved her? What does the gang really want with her? Will she ever have time to use that Thigh Master?
Moon Lovers #2:
Tasha climbs out of her ordeal with the gang only to dive back into the deep end of trouble. She's targeted by the gang and her greatest ally is her friendly, if a little bumbling, apartment manager, Greg. Unfortunately, Greg has theories about the police that don't make her feel warm and cozy, and after another encounter with the gang she suspects he's right.
How will Tasha get herself out of this mess? Will the gang drag her away into the dark streets, never to be seen again? Or will her hero come to her rescue in a cute pair of tight leather pants?
Moon Lovers #3:
Another night, another hairy situation for Tasha as the plot throws a curve ball of furry proportions. She has a more deadly run-in with the gang and comes out only by the skin of her teeth, or rather, someone else's long, pointy teeth. Her hero has returned, larger than life and twice as unbelievable. She learns his secret and has to decide who to trust.
Can her humor keep her sanity, or will her jokes run out just when she needs a good laugh?
Moon Lovers #4:
Tasha finally comes face to face with the leader of the gang that's been harassing her, and all she wants to do is an about-face back to her apartment. Fortunately, her hero comes to her rescue and carries her off to safety, but not without some collateral damage for both the bad guys and themselves. Now she's stuck with her hairy hero who has more than sleep in mind for them both.
Will Tasha be able to fend off his advances? Are they finally finished with the hanky gang? Where in the world are they?
Moon Lovers #5:
Though the city is far behind them, Tasha and her lover still have trouble nipping at their heals. The gang isn't about to let them get away without a fight, and the predators find themselves the prey as they take a beat up truck down the country roads in search of safety. Their plans are cut short when they're confronted by one of their old enemies who has more than just old stories to swap when bullets fly.
Can the pair of lovers make it out of the gunfire unscathed? Will the gang ever leave them alone? Will their teeth rattle apart before the clanky truck gets them out of trouble?
Moon Lovers #6:
Tasha and her furry lover are sick and tired of being rundown and run over by their hanky-wearing foes, so they turn the tables and take everyone for a spin in the final installment of the Moon Lovers serial. Mysteries arise when they confront Servino, and they learn a new werewolf is in town. Views: 355
