Lance is a Wizard. He's not a great wizard, but he's all right. Descended from a long line of wizards, his brothers taunt him for being slow to learn. And as the youngest, it's his due course to accept such teasing. Life is good, and normal. For a wizard that is. Cassie is a Shifter. A tigress to be exact. Raised by her father after her mother's death she's as well adjusted as any shifter can be, and still live in the human world, hiding who and what she is. Bliss comes to a screeching halt the night Satanists kidnap Cassie and her best friend to use as sacrifices to bring forth their Dark Lord. When Cassie literally collides into Lance, she begs him to help them escape their captors, despite the dangers. The couple work together to save the life of Cassie's friend, only to discover a shocking passion driving them closer together at a time when both should be devastated. But when Lance overhears Cassie's father threaten his life, he heads for the hills. Cassie follows, determined to clear up the confusion. But evil is still afoot and Cassie is taken by a secret government organization dedicated to the eradication of all things magick. Is Lance willing to put his life on the line for a woman he believes is out to kill him? Especially when he realizes the organization that's taken her, is the one he works for?

More About the Author

Born in Atlanta, the daughter of an Army Soldier during the early stages of the Viet Nam war, I spent my childhood traveling from state to state, finally ending up overseas in Germany where I graduated high school six months early.

My writing career however began as a young Airman in the Air Force, writing monthly articles for the weekly base paper. The articles ranged from climatological data to full center fold articles on the destructive forces of hurricanes. As I increased in rank, my writing changed to more technological instruction, including such works as WSR-88D Doppler Radar Data Interpretation Guide for North Carolina Stations, and Station Operating Procedures.

This review is from: The Moon: Tigress By The Tail (Paperback)

I don't read a lot of paranormal romance, but this book pulled me in from the first page and held my attention until the very last page. D'Amario's book has it all: it's well-written, has believable characters, lots of suspense, and HOT romance.

This review is from: The Moon: Tigress By The Tail (Paperback)

How exciting to find another erotica author to watch! Occasionally an author who likes my reviews (go figure!) will ask me to read and review their book. This is always a dicey proposition and I tell them that I don't do 'feel good/ego stroke' reviews. I tell the truth. The option I DO give is that if I really don't like the book, I'll send the review to them via email and only post it on my blogsite and on the site where they found my reviews (in other words, I won't put it up on Amazon or Powell's etc). So when I find a new author I can crow about, it's like manna from heaven for me! Teresa D'Amario is my new author to crow about! I just finished "Tigress By the Tail" for the 2nd time and still loved it. It's got hot sex, an interesting plot, hot sex, interesting characters, hot sex, shifters, hot sex, gorgeous brother 'cops', and the promise of more to come in the same world! Did I mention the sex was hot?

Cassie wakes up groggy and confused. Where is she and how the hell did she get here? Her day really doesn't improve when she learns she and her friend were drugged, kidnapped, and are intended to be 'virgin' sacrifices for devil worshipers! Then she blows her escape attempt and her 'cover' when she shifts to save a human! A very handsome human, yes, but still...a human?! And she can't seem to stop herself from wanting to be near this stranger...what's going on and will she be able to save him when the shifter community finds out who and what he is?

Lance can't believe his luck. His brothers finally let him work a case on his own and now he's going to have to reveal his powers to save two women from the Satanists! And what's up with the gorgeous chick with the weird hair who he could swear is talking IN HIS HEAD!

Let me repeat. This novella has it all. A really interesting plot line with well-developed paranormal elements, action that blasts off from page one, smart characters with real dilemmas (no TSTL moments), a mystery that's intriguing and SHOULD DEFINITELY CONTINUE (do you hear me Teresa?), and some really, really delicious brothers who definitely need to find their women (Teresa?). If you miss this one, you'll be sorry. I'm gonna bug the author for the next story set in this world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and Hot from Page One!, September 24, 2008

By 

MJ Keith (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Moon: Tigress By The Tail (Paperback)

From the first page, she engages you with the characters and draws you into the action.

Characters are the heart of any story for me and Teresa did not disappoint me. Her ability to create believable and endearing characters continues to amaze me. Her shifters take on characteristics of the animals and you can tell this woman does her homework!

Cassie was phenomenal. What a fun change of pace to see a role reversal of sorts with the female as the strong predatory shapeshifter! Cassie managed to maintain the same strength we've come to expect in the male shifters we read about, while maintaining the femininity we love in our heroines. She truly is a perfect blending of both worlds.

Lance appealed to me on so many levels. He held his own against a dominant female and yet managed to remain masculine. He was aggressive or soft when needed and determined. Lance is also full of unexpected surprises, and with each turn of the page I found myself drawn more and more to him.

The tension in this book was absolutely unbelievable. OMG, there is constantly something going on that keeps you reading. You jump into the action right on page one and it really doesn't stop until the end. Then, amidst action and turmoil galore, these two have to deal with an attraction that only one of them truly understands and neither of them can deny. The passion between these two is literally burn your fingertips hot!
