Fierce Moon

by Kira Lerner, Ira Madison

Ever dreamed of stepping into the pages of a paranormal romance? Fierce Moon is your gateway to a gothic world -- and stars you, your favorite romantic partner, a friend, and even a pet. This compelling werewolf thriller begins when a modern, mystery-loving woman (our personalized heroine) is swept back in time to Victorian England, where she meets a brilliant, renowned and very sexy detective, a real-life Sherlock Holmes who challenges and captivates her as no man has before. While the heroine adapts her 21st-century ways to the 1890s, her independent spirit, beauty and intellect attract and intrigue the genius detective (the personalized hero). He quickly suspects something is different about this unique woman.

Though they attend a glamorous gala, solve a jewel heist, and enjoy romantic carriage rides, there's a dark side to Victorian London. The gas-lit streets turn deadly at night, thanks to a vicious serial killer called The Beast.

The heroine, helped by her best friend (another personalized role) who runs the boarding house where many of the victims lived, is determined to stop the Beast's reign of terror over London. She thinks she's safe by the side of her detective hero. What she doesn't know is that his rational, sophisticated demeanor masks a wild side: each month under the light of the full moon, he's cursed to become a werewolf.

Is this renowned detective actually guilty of the horrific crimes he's vowed to solve? Is his own alter ego a danger to the woman he loves? And what will our heroine do when the trail of clues leads her right to the hero's door?

Mystery, time travel, magic, and a werewolf...all in one romantic, breathless adventure, that stars you! Fierce Moon takes you to a past filled with intrigue, danger, and passion.

About the author

I've been writing since I could pick up a pen, primarily works filled with suspense, romance, rich characterization, and a dash of (usually dark) humor. My published novels are Fierce Moon, Night Wolf, Tropical Treasure and Seduction Games, all personalized romance novels from BookByYou.com in a variety of genres. I have two separate book series in progress: a YA Fantasy quintet and an upcoming trilogy of paranormal romantic suspense novels. For those of you who enjoy soap operas and ongoing serialized dramas, my webserial About Schuyler Falls is celebrating 16+ years online, weaving tales of psychological drama, mystery, humor and romance as seen in a troubled upstate New York community. For extra dineros I freelance as a developmental editor, copy editor/writer, and web designer. I'll also sing for my supper if anyone will listen, administer the EpiGuide community for webfiction and webseries, co-host the EpiCast podcast focusing on serialized webfiction (available on iTunes and Stitcher), and run WeSeWriMo, the annual writing marathon for web-based serials.

Thanks for checking me out, and I hope you enjoy what you read!

Werewolves stalk Victorian London and time-traveling heroine ends to be Beauty for the Beast. Add interactive angle - you can choose hero and heroine - and this is great fun and perfect escapism.

An absolutely amazing story from a wonderful, inspiring author. "Fierce Moon" is one of my favorite novels of all-time and it's actually one of the books that inspired me to start writing. To say I love this story is the understatement of the century. I've re-read this book more times than I can count and every time feels like the first. It's raw, sexy, powerful, mysterious and so incredibly romantic. I love this novel and I can't wait to see more from the amazing Kira Lerner! Thank you, Kira, for creating a story that had such a powerful impact on me and even my career. If you've ever wondered if "Fierce Moon" is worth picking up, please do us both the favor and read this masterpiece.

I absolutely loved it! But I’m disappointed that there is no second installment. The ending of the book kinda led you to believe that there was going to be a second one, how will the detective get on in modern day society? What will he and the heroine do from there? I emailed the company a few years ago asking if there was going to be another one. All I was given was a vague answer of “I’ll pass it along to the writer” and never got a response back. That being said, this is definitely a good read.

I received this book years ago as a present. I loved it the first time I read it but never wrote a review for the actual book. I just finished it and it was just as fun to read. I chuckled every time I saw my own name as the heroine. My friends are also in the book, one of them as my cat. It's hard to get lost in the fantasy when you keep seeing yourself in the time period. I don't know if it's an option but I'd love of the character could be portrayed as a person of color. The descriptions are left ambiguous and I'm thankful for that.
