I don't normally read romance, but I'm glad I decided to give this a try. It was interesting and I, like some other reviewers, was left to wonder what happens next. Great work!

I loved this. It was kinda odd but I loved how she owned a book store and paranormal romances where her favorite. I guess it made her perfect for the situation.

An enjoyable reading experience. Although the plot line is predictable,there are enough twists and turns in the story to keep the reading intrigued enough to want to turn the page and find out what's going to happen.

I absolutely loved this book. Paranormal romances are my favorite genre' and this one didn't disappoint. The suspense leading up to the finalization of the capture of the evil character keeps one on the edge of your seat waiting for it to happen. I can't wait for more by Jan to be released.

That was quite boring, nice but boring...i finished the book only for the good reviews you had. It was easy to read it but i had the impression of repeating the scenes.

I loved this book, it kept you in suspence about why they were drawn together. And I had to laugh at the way the busy bodies were portrayed.

A short 69 page story but as good as a longer book.

Victoria is alone in the world with her bookstore, home and black cat named Mister. Her folks died and she kept the house and store to remember the good times with her parents.

One night as the gas station was being robbed she met a dark and handsome stranger named Steven Coburt, or Cole.

The robber ran out of the store at some point and Vic seen his face but he also seen hers.

Cole came to the store the day after and for some reason this handsome man seemed to choose to be with her.

As secrets became known Vic struggles with them.

Between threats from Kincaid, the burglar, and mixed feelings about this unusual man she met a great story comes together.

Not the best one I've read, but an enjoyable short paranormal/shifter romance just the same. It was a quick and easy read, the characters were likable enough but, as with a lot of these "quickies" that I've been reading lately, there wasn't quite enough depth or character development. At least this one had an ending I wasn't completely disappointed with.

Very enjoyable read! Short, simple, not terribly overwrought or complicated like some paranormal fiction. The characters were very likeable and the steamy passages were well written and sexy. I look forward to more from this author.

The steamy sections of this book, like the rest of it, were written well. There is a lot of tenderness between the main characters.

I really liked this story. The male lead is very romantic and sexy. The female lead is one we can identify with - an ordinary girl living an ordinary not so exciting life, until a certain man appears, that is! Yes, the love story is mostly predictble, sort of 'knight on a silver horse' but that's why we read romance, isn't it? The escapism, the wish that it would happen that way. There is also a 'twist' as the author puts it, which makes the story a bit unique from some others in the genre. Overall a good read!

Enjoyed the book. Agree with Heather K's review.." a bit like the Argeneau Vampire series by Lyndsay Sands". But also agree with Razinell when stated that the plot was simplistic.
Overall, an enjoyable read

I have to say that this is one of the very good books in paranormal erotica. Fun to read, very good story and very sexy. I will read this author's books any time

Review by: razinell on March 22, 2010 : star star star
Worth downloading and reading, but not great. The plot is simplistic with painful contrivances (there just happened to be a dangerous snake on the log at that exact moment?), and the 'romance dialog' can get cheesy, but the narrator is interesting nonetheless. It's also an interesting study on women's fantasies--super hunky unique guy focuses his whole world on an average woman despite her baggage/hangups.

This was an amazing read! I absolutely loved it, and hope she continues to write more things like it- hopefully next time a full length book! I really think this has series potential, and kind of reminded me of the Argeneau vampire series by Lyndsay Sands- it was that good!

Well developed characters and very fun to read! It was a short story, and I was sad to finish it so quickly. I appreciated getting to read it for free, but would've gladly paid for this story. I hope Jan Gordon offers more books in this genre, as I'll be sure to add those to my collection as well.

I really enjoyed this book. Paranormal romance is my favorite genre and this story didn't disappoint. Cole is ultra sexy and well portrayed. Loved the whole feline twist in a genre where I haven't seen it before. That was refreshing. The story moved at a good pace and kept me turning the pages. Thanks so much for this free read. I will certainly keep an eye out for any future books you may have in the pipeline.
