Bestselling author Lucy Monroe returns to her hugely popular paranormal world where a woman falls under the spell of the beast who is her one true enemy...
Barr never asked to be made laird over the struggling Donegal clan, or leader of its werewolf pack. But he'll do his duty and although he hasn't yet found his mate, he hopes she will be among his people. He expects his new role to be difficult; he doesn't expect to discover a naked woman in the forest whose memory is as fragile as her human body—her delectable, all too appealing body. Could this woman be his true mate?
On a mission to save her people from extinction, Sabrine pretends she has no memory in order to gain access to her enemy: the Donegal clan. A raven shifter, she is determined to retrieve the sacred stone that rightfully belongs to her people. But soon she'll be engulfed in her burning desire and growing love for Barr—and the dangerous and inescapable secrets destined to keep them apart...

(Included stories from Lori Foster and Dianne Castell)Moon Magnetism by Lucy MonroeIvy Kendall dreads the full moon. For generations, women in her family have been extremely magnetic on that day—which was fine fifty years ago but not in the age of hard drives and cell phones. That's why the hotel manager has resisted the technological improvements her boss wants her to implement. Now, the sexy, dynamic Blake Hawthorne is coming to insist on the upgrades in person. Shoot, he'll probably fire her. Being around Blake makes her body go as haywire as a full moon, maybe even more. And as long as she's going to be out of a job soon, there's no reason not to use a little of that magnetism to her advantage, luring him into an elevator where the only electricity that will work is the kind they generate themselves…

Guest Interview - Bella Andre
Wow Bella! This sounds like a great book and one that I need to get in my TBR pile! Thank you for stopping by today. Loved your interview.Can't Help Falling In LoveBella Andre
Get ready for another Sullivan bad boy to fall in love in the third book of Bella Andre's bestselling contemporary romance series!
BOOK DESCRIPTION: Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire...and can't stop thinking about.
Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job again.
Only, when Gabe and Megan meet again and uncontrollable flames of desire ignite between them, how can he possibly ignore her courage, determination, and beauty? And how can she deny not only his strong bond with her daughter...but the way his sweetly sensual kisses are challenging her to risk everything she's been guarding for so long?
This winter, if one - or both - of them aren't careful, they just might end up falling in love.
Book 1: THE LOOK OF LOVE
Book 2: FROM THIS MOMENT ONInterview with Bella Andre1. What is your favorite thing to do when you are not writing? Reading! I've always been a romance reader at heart. I also love to hike, swim, and am trying to take up cooking. Since I live in the San Francisco Bay Area it's so easy to find fresh, delicious food a short drive away. I'm making an effort (let's not call it a resolution!) to spend more time in the kitchen this year. If anyone has easy recipes to share, please do! I keep waiting for the one that will convert me into Rachel Ray. 2. Action adventure or romantic comedy? What is your favorite movie lately? Besides the latest Disney movie I watched with my kids, you mean? A recent romantic comedy that really stood out to me was Crazy Stupid Love. It took the formula of multiple, intersecting romantic storylines (like the recent New Year's Eve and its predecessor Valentine's Day) and made the format fresh, original and unexpected. And, oh, Ryan Gosling's abs were so beautiful! Yum. He really did look photo-shopped. I was also amazed at how he took what should have been a fundamentally unlikable character - a womanizer - and made him interesting, charming and eventually sympathetic. 3. How did you come up with names or character occupations for your books, like your recent release Can't Help Falling In Love? I look everywhere for character names. On the top 100 name lists, in the newspaper, even on flyers in coffee shops! I keep searching until I know I've got the "right" name for the character. As for character occupations, in the third book of my Sullivans Series, Can't Help Falling in Love, my hero, Gabe, is a firefighter because I love writing alpha heroes. Alpha heroes need alpha jobs! That doesn't always mean running into a burning building like Gabe. His brothers from books 1 and 2 are, respectively, a photographer (The Look of Love) and a winery owner (From This Moment On). Not exactly high octane employment, but both are men in positions where they call the shots, which is always incredibly sexy.

Week #7's Featured Book: Take Me
by Lucy MonroeBerkley Sensation October 2006ISBN: 0425212211
"Ever since Lucy Monroe started this series I have been waiting for Jared's story, and TAKE ME more then makes up for the wait. Ms Monroe is one of the few authors who I will read no matter what she writes and TAKE ME is a good reason why. You do not have to read the first two books in this series in order to read TAKE ME, but after you finish you will be running to the store to get the other two." —Barb Hicks, The Best Reviews (Click for the complete review.)
