Book Description: 

RAPHAEL 

The brilliant and dangerous diplomat of the Pantera shapeshifters, Raphael has devoted his life to discovering the key to the infertility that is threatening the extinction of his puma race. Creating a vast network of spies worldwide, he never expected to discover that the answer might be beneath his very nose. But when Ashe, a beautiful human female, crosses his path, his most primitive instincts are stirred. Unable to resist, he takes her to his bed, and is shocked when she becomes pregnant with his child. It's a miracle that might prove to be the salvation of his people, but only if he can keep her safe from the mercenaries determined to kill her.

PARISH

Untamed and undeniably sexy, Parish, leader of the Pantera hunters, rarely leaves the magic of the Wildlands to deal with the humans he despises. But with the prized and risky Pantera birth on the way, puma shifter, Parish must travel to New Orleans to find and bring back a human doctor. The moment he sees the lovely, talented and all too human Dr. Julia Cabot he cannot resist the wild, potent drive to make her his. Betrayed and destroyed by love, Julia will not let her heart choose her path again. But as she and Parish fight to save the life of an unborn child, a fierce and overwhelming bond develops between them, threatening her frozen heart with the secret hope and ultimate temptation of love and family.

Review:

 I can say that individually these authors are awesome, but you put them together and you have magic. I devoured Raphael's story so fast I think I had barely time to let soak in this wonderfully, steamy short story. I almost immediately fell in love with Raphael. He is definitely is my type of guy, pure sexy alpha male.

For as short as this book is, I completely could feel Ashe's heartache and pain regarding her family or rather her treatment by them. Make sure you have the a/c on too while you read this because you definitely will need something to cool you off when you finish.

I am so torn here, I thought Raphael won me over but Parish I think stole my heart.  He is grouchy, gruff, tortured (I think that's what did it, I am a such a sucker for a tortured hero) and ever so sexy too.  I honestly cannot not say which story I loved more, in fact I know I can't. Raphael and Parish are somewhat the same but different and their mates as well. Both girls, whom I just adore, have heartbreak in their lives, before meeting these sexy shifters. 

These authors did a fabulous job in such a short period of time of grabbing me and not letting go until the stories ended, even now I crave more. I will be diving into the Bayon/Jean Baptiste's as soon as I finish this review .. I have a feeling I will be come more addicted with the Pantera and all these sexy shifters. 

If you have yet to read this, do so right now, seriously it is such a fast read you won't even know what time it is until you are finished. One last thing I must say, if I could have rated this higher I would have.
