Happy Release Day! Guest Post: Remembered by Moonlight (Moonlight #9) by Nancy Gideon

Description:

Because the road to . . .
Clever, cool and preternaturally lethal, Max Savoie is leader of a secretive shape-shifter clan, heir to a mobster’s legacy, and the love of New Orleans’ top cop . . . but he can’t remember any of them. The only way to recover his past, and his rightful place in the arms of the woman who risked all to save him, is to surrender to a mysterious visitor who could use him as a weapon against all he’d loved.

Happily-Ever-After . . .
After rescuing her mate from his ruthless captors in the North, hard-hitting Detective Charlotte Caissie is now painfully vulnerable—a stranger in his eyes . . . and in his bed. The key to his memories is locked in a tortuous past. To reclaim the strength of their passionate bond, Max must learn to trust her enough to face that darkness at her side before the threat it hides exposes the secret Cee Cee carries.

Is never smooth.
When an investigation into grisly deaths in an underground Shifter fight club points to more than just dangerous clan rivalries, Cee Cee enlists Max’s help to find a traitor in their midst while there’s still time to turn a deadly invading tide. But the cost of saving their treasured future may mean sacrificing his past. Especially when the enemy they pursue . . . might be Max, himself.

GUEST POST
Love, Lust and Action in Paranormal Romance

My three favorite ingredients for an unputdownable book: Love, lust and action. The emotional ties that bind, the passionate sizzle that heats the blood, the rush that gets the pulse pounding. Take away any one of those strong elements and you don’t have a satisfying paranormal romance. 

The Paranormal genre is synonymous with hot stuff: swoon-worthy heroes, head-strong heroines, drool-inspiring cover art and plenty of “those” scenes to sensually, boldly or explicitly fire the imagination – if there’s anything left to imagine! But, to be a romance, there has to be —well—romance! The reader expects feelings, not just hyper hormonal hot flashes between the hero and heroine. It’s that delicate balance that draws the reader in, and it’s the relentless pace that keeps them breathlessly turning pages. A preternatural world brings danger, intrigue and surprises into the mix to keep characters—and readers—on their toes. The unexpected is expected, even demanded. And I like that about paranormal romance! 

In my “By Moonlight” world, I stir all three together into a bubbling, flavorful rue to thicken the longing, the desire, the thrill. Take two vastly different characters: Max Savoie, former mob enforcer and pseudo-leader of a shape-shifter clan and Charlotte Caissie, a tough-as-nails NOPD detective pulled between his world and her own. Add his unrequited love and her wary fascination. Sprinkle on irresistible attraction that becomes near obsession. Pour in a secretive preternatural clan living undetected in New Orleans, deadly rivalries, the dangers of her profession, mysterious outsiders, hidden agendas, and combine into a page-turning excitement. 

Though REMEMBERED BY MOONLIGHT (just released October 13!) is the latest installment in this continuing series, it’s the perfect place for a new reader to take their first taste. As returning hero Max Savoie fights to regain his memories, readers discover the unfolding flavors of the “By Moonlight” world alongside him. Prepare to have an insatiable appetite for more.
