Moon Burning by Lucy Monroe
Paranormal Romance -Feb. 1st, 2011
4 ½ stars
Moon Burning is the third in the Children of the Moon series and Lucy Monroe's best yet! In this book, two shifters from rival clans are attracted to each other and spark contention and deep secrets.
The Chrechte are powerful shifters but the prior books have only dealt with the most prosperous, the wolves. Now it is revealed that there are also bird shifters. But they have been hunted by the wolves of different clans who were jealous of their unique powers. The bird-shifters seems doomed as they are hunted to near-extinction and their sacred stone stolen.
A warrior and raven shifter, Sabrine keeps a look out for the dangerous wolves that seek to kill them. One day, she is shot down. She quickly changes into a beautiful woman to hide her identity and is found by the new clan Chief Barr, who is a wolf shifter. But Barr is different and wants Sabrine for his own. He knows she is magical but does not realize she is one of the mythical raven shifters. Sabrine grows to admire this new leader who is honorable and caring. But she knows someone from his clan has stolen the stone, and she must retrieve it and leave. Her clan needs the sacred stone, and she knows there is no future for their two opposing clans. However, Barr has finally found the woman who makes his heart race and he vows to never let her go.
These two main characters are a well matched pair, and it is fun reading about them working out their differences. Barr is a super sexy alpha male who wants to protect and care for Sabrine, but Sabrine is a proud warrior who wants her independence. I loved how Barr bends down to Sabrine's will but still watches over her. Sometimes Barr is a bit bossy but that is because he cared for her so much and wanted to be a part of her life. He can't stand that she is hiding something about herself. I really liked Sabrine because she could match Barr and maintains her own identity against such a strong and even larger than life personality. Her integrity and will to protect and care for her clan makes her a worthy character.
Strong, dynamic characters and a secret animosity between shifter clans make for an exciting third book!

4-1/2 stars- I love this series!, February 26, 2011
A Kid's Review
I was very much looking forward to the next book in this series and was not disappointed when I read this book. I love how this series marries historical romance with paranormal shifter romance. It is not necessary to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this book, though I think that after reading this book you will want to read the other two.
As in her other two books in the series, this book also has a secondary romantic storyline and great supporting characters. The hero and heroine and strong, alpha characters who "fit" together wonderfully and there is just enough action going on to keep the book moving at a swift pace.
I can't wait to see what Lucy Monroe has in store for the next book in this series.

"Action, passion and a clever plot make Moon Burning a sizzling story!", January 6, 2012
This review is from: Moon Burning (A Children of the Moon Novel) (Mass Market Paperback)
Sabrine is the protector of her raven shifter clan. She is searching for a sacred stone that was taken from her clan by the dastardly Donegal clan. Werewolves and Ravens have been enemies for centuries, so it's not surprising to Sabrine that the Donegal wolves stole their stone. Sabrine is willing to do whatever it takes to get it back including infiltrating the enemy camp.
Barr never asked to be the new laird of the Donegal clan but it doesn't take him long to realize the guy he replaced is as corrupt as they come. It is now his job to turn this clan around and get rid of the riff raff. The clan is his primary focus until he gets pleasantly distracted by a lovely lass he finds in the woods. He doesn't believe he's getting the whole story from the lass but he is beguiled by her and claims her under his protection.
Barr and Sabrine may not build their relationship on trust but they have plenty of fiery chemistry to make up for it. Can two natural born enemies find love together? Will they survive the enemies that lie underneath their noses?
Action, passion and a clever plot make Moon Burning a sizzling story! Barr and Sabrine are like star-crossed lovers fated to be together and yet they are born enemies. The scenes between them are overflowing with skyrocketing fireworks. Whether they are arguing or making up these two know how to turn the heat up a notch. Sabrine and Barr are both fierce characters and they bring their strong wills to the relationship making for some interesting situations. The story underlying the relationship is fast-paced and intriguing. It is easy to be drawn to the characters and the situations they are facing. Lucy Monroe's storytelling is suave and exciting. This is my first Children of the Moon novel and I can't wait to read the next. It's not necessary to have read the first two novels to enjoy Moon Burning.
