In Heat (In Heat Shapeshifter Romance Series #1) [Kindle Edition]

Felicity Heaton (Author)

Book Description

A heat wave isn't the only thing making London too hot for lawyer Kim. She's been spending each night with a man who sets her body and heart on fire. The problem? He's a man that always sprouts black fur and purrs, and he's only a dream. Walking into work on the hottest day of the year, the last thing she expects is to meet Erik, a man who sends her temperature soaring and who resembles her dream guy exactly.

A black panther shape-shifter, Erik Blackwell has been searching for his mate for twenty-seven years. The visions they share each night are getting hotter but finding her is proving impossible as he's never seen her face. That is, until it turns out she's working as his lawyer on his contract negotiations with his brother, Alistair.

Kim can't deny her attraction to Erik. The heat she feels with him is intense and it's only a matter of time before they surrender to their carnal desires.

When Kim discovers Erik's secret, will she turn her back on him, or will she complete the mating and become like him so they can be together forever?

About the Author

I write passionate paranormal romance books as Felicity Heaton and F E Heaton. In my books I create detailed worlds, twisting plots, mind-blowing action, intense emotion and heart-stopping romances with leading men that vary from dark deadly vampires to sexy shape-shifters and wicked werewolves, to sinful angels and hot demons!

If you're a fan of paranormal romance authors Lara Adrian, J R Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Gena Showalter and Christine Feehan then you will love my books too.

If you love your angels a little dark and wicked, my best selling Her Angel series is for you. If you like strong, powerful, and dark vampires then try my Vampires Realm series I write as F E Heaton or any of my stand alone vampire romance books I write as Felicity Heaton.

In 2011, four of my six paranormal romance books received Top Pick awards from Night Owl Reviews, Forbidden Blood was nominated as Best PNR Vampire Romance 2011 at The Romance Reviews, and many of my releases received five star reviews from numerous websites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Electrifying - Smexy - A must read for all those who enjoy Heat in their reads !! Smokin February 6, 2012

Wow!!! I read this in one sitting and I tell you - Authors wander why we fall in love with fictional characters, they put them forth so well leaving us pining for our real live smexy men. To my avail it's just a dream :O) Erik had me hot under the collar and wandering if the heat wave had moved to my bedroom ;)

Read the blurb to the story it will give you a good indication of the storyline.

I must say I was drawn into this story from within the first chapter, enthralled - and intrigued... Erik was sexy as sin on first encounter with Kim and the chemistry these two shared, in life and in dreams was smoking.. **

If I had dreams like that I'm sure I would certainly be on fire **
lusty wink ...

Erik came across at first rich and gorgeous - a ladies man, Kim awe struck by him.. ** I tell you I had to wander why she took so long ** lol... She was clumsy - shy and easily embarrassed but by the end of this story she was showing Erik a thing or two. We find out more about Erik as the story progresses, him not being the ladies' man we originally thought and his vow of celibacy to wait for his mate was sweet and even sexy!! Twenty seven years of wanting - and I tell you he certainly showed Kim how much he wanted her ** swoon ** blushes

Erik made her feel beautiful, special and would do anything to make her happy, this gave Kim the courage to be with him in every which way she wanted and they both where in their dreams.

The romance and passion was electrifying - I'm sure my reader was wafting with steam from the pace I read this in... Whilst reading, I even stopped mid-way, to share peanut butter on toast with Erik and Kim... now talk bout being influenced by a read lol.

I cant complain about a thing with this story, the chapters all ran smoothly, I loved all the characters put forth even the standoffish brother - a storyline that will leave you wanting more and dialogue that flowed smoothly. Yes it contains sex - but hey its an erotic read .. What more could you want ** grins ** But saying that it blends in well with the story put forth.

Overall, this storyline was definitely Captivating - sexy, and contains sex scenes that will not only have you hot under the bed sheets, but your heart will be racing and blood pumping... Erotic would be one word Id describes it as ;) wink...... If you like your shape shifters sexy - you're reads hot - and your toes bunching and eyelashes curling then this read is for you! It will leave you starry eyed and wanting - ** Ill say no more ** lol.

Felicity has left room for book two to let us know more about the mating - and I'm sure we will find out more into Erik and Kim's future!

** after reading this story and getting it for free Big thanks to AUthor Felicity Heaton - I ran out after reading this and brought book 2 **

3.0 out of 5 stars Could Have Been Great March 30, 2012

By T.Hembree

This story line had great promise.....I'm not finishing this book....Ive hung in there until 56% and I would rather spend my time reading something a little faster paced. As a reader I don't need nor want every agonizing detail even down to flushing the toilet :-(. The writer took 3 pages to describe something and when I feel myself starting to skim....then it's time to go. Also.....its "smelled".....not smelt. Have to say the book cover looked hot....but they must have stood in the rain three days just to get that shot.....would match the pace of the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Can you say sloooooowww...... Read!!!! April 17, 2012

OMG this book took for ever to get into. The story was actually very good but this author seemed to take forever to make a point. I hung in there because I don't believe in giving up if I've paid for a book, unlike the library where I can just close the cover and drop it in the return box! If you can hang in there the last part is the best but even though I like the premise of the next book that was shown at the end I doubt I will purchase it. Not enough hours in the day to struggle through it. It's really to bad because this story has great potential and I really liked the characters, lots of hot steamy scenes but still wasn't enough to want me to purchase another by this author.
