5.0 out of 5 stars Oh my need a cold shower February 29, 2012

By Lisa A. Markson

Format:Kindle Edition

Hunter Moon by Cait Lavender what can I say but "Oh my god". I couldn't put it down. The hot and cold dance that Cash and Shelby were doing made me want to take a cold shower. The gun packing woman that Shelby is would have made mot men high-tail it and run. But as a lupine they mate for life and he realized that he needed to go about mating with her a different way hence the appearance of "Fang". I would give this book a 5.5 stars it left me crying out at the end wanting to have a continuation to the story. Run to your nearest computer a get this book while you can you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hunter Moon May 19, 2012

I discovered Cait when I read the anthology Cupid Painted Blind and knew I had to read more of her work. I immediately downloaded and read Cowboy Moon and Hunter Moon and read them in that order. I enjoyed this book very much and after the first few chapters I could not put it down. I actually read until 5am. I have to admit it did take the first few chapters for me to get into the story. I think it was because I know absolutely nothing about about horses, cattle,ranches etc. I think if you are a lover of those things, the first few chapters probably would hold your interest more than it did mine.

I read a lot of shifter/were books. I enjoy them and the diversity of the lore used to create them. Cait definitely put her own spin on were lore, which always makes me happy. I also enjoyed that all of the "mystery" that was unfolding was not were/super naturally related. Cait has a fun sense of humor that made Shelby a character to love. Reading her inner monologues were a hoot and a half, especially as they pertained to Cash. I really wish the next book was already out because the ending is not all wrapped up in a pretty little bow. There are a few typographical errors in the version I downloaded, which may be an issue for some readers.

You do not need to read Cowboy Moon to enjoy this book, but I do think I enjoyed it more because I had read it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun read until the "end" September 12, 2012

Shelby and Cash are a super hot couple. She is strong, independent, and hot headed. He is handsome, strong, and cowboy hot ...with a secret. I was drawn into their wirlwind romance and even though the secret was obvious I enjoyed how Lavender delicately revealed it and how she crafted Shelby's reactions to it.

Why I rated this story at only two stars is the ending or more accurately the non-ending. Now I realize there is a need for a certain level of "cliff hangers" in a story that is part of a series but at least conclude one piece of the plot line. Nothing is resolved at the close of this story. In fact yet another aspect and conflict is added.
It simply feels like the story - if it were a tv show - had cut away to commercial intermission with the entire second "act" yet to come.

More About the Author

I'm a cowgirl in Central California where the real happy cows are. My house is smack dab in the middle of my ranch and there's nothing I like better than drinking a cup of coffee in the morning and listening to my cows munch on the grass. I'm a professional runner, and by that I mean I run around my house chasing my toddler, running errands and running my household. My husband has the easy job!

When I'm not being a mom I enjoy being a nerd. I'm addicted to all things Joss Whedon. I wish I knew The Doctor and rode around in the TARDIS. I harbor a secret love of Star Trek and a childhood infatuation with Bruce Wayne. I like to sing loud and badly in the car to my Boston Station on Pandora and I have a weird obsession with lip balm. I watch movies with my friends who live across the country and get a perverse kick out of those mean ecards.

But the nerdiest of all is my voracious appetite for books. Ever since I was a kid I was reading everything I could get my hands on. I was reading adult fantasy novels in fourth grade, beginning with Piers Anthony and spiraling out to Anne McCaffrey, J.K. Rowling, Mercedes Lackey and Robert Jordan. I'm still positive I am the only kid who was grounded from their books when I got in trouble and it's still the worst form of punishment I can endure. My love for the paranormal started early as well. I loved watching werewolf movies like Silver Bullet and An American Werewolf In London and that carried over into my reading choices, but it was really Charlaine Harris and Patricia Briggs who inspired me to write my own paranormal romance novels.

Ever since Jr. High when I attempted to write my first book--a sad version of the Robin Hood story that shall never see the light of day--I dreamed of becoming a real author. I love cracking open a book and, for those few hundred pages, escaping into another world, living a different life and letting my imagination soar. That is what I hope to give to my readers: a small vacation from their lives where they can be entertained, absorbed, laugh and maybe cry. I want to do what so many wonderful authors have done before me and make my readers happy, if only for a few hundred pages.

So thank you for letting me live my dream. Thank you for reading my paranormal romance novels, for loving my main characters and hating the bad guys, for being so amazing with your reviews and warm, encouraging comments. Thank you.
