BOOK BLURB:
Vampire Jonny runs Bloodrose, a club that pairs up supernatural creatures for the optimum sexual experience. Too bad he can't find anyone he wants to start a relationship with, even with all of the amazing creatures coming through his doors. Then cat burglar Luc shows up, intent on stealing something he needs very badly, and Jonny knows his luck has changed. Their relationship isn't going to be easy, especially not with the men who'd just as soon see Luc dead, and aren't afraid to take Jonny down, too. Can Jonny, with the help of his friends Deke and Kasey, help Luc survive to become Jonny's number one thing? Featuring characters from An Itch to Scratch and The Werewolf Code.

BOOK REVIEW:
Whether it's Charlaine Harris's Quinn or her werepanthers, Sommer Marsden's white tiger-man Ty, or the tiger-god of Kilt Kilpatrick's entry in "I Kissed a Girl," shapeshifters who become big cats fire the imagination and add a unique spice to paranormal erotica.

Two-natured Luc gives new meaning to the term cat burglar; this shady character is sometimes a man, but more often a sleek black panther. Luc finds himself in a jam. Desperate, he comes to vampire Jonny for help.

What makes this a better-than-average cat shifter romance is Julia Talbot's investment in exploring the sensual possibilities of the cat-man. Luc's feline grace, his claws, his dangerous teeth, his soft fur, and his luxurious tail attract Jonny as much as his sensuous human form. When they get together, fur and sparks fly. They are an unlikely pair, especially given that Kitty plays nice with werewolves, but somehow, Jonny and Luc manage to fall in love. There is also a noir-ish element to the thriller backdrop of this novella, an underlying danger that keeps Jonny and Luc's relationship sparking with nervous tension.

Now there's only one problem: finding a state where the undead are allowed to marry same-sex manimals.
