Instinct – J.A. Belfield
Werewolf Sean Holloway treats the village marketplace like a sexual buffet, until his instincts guide him toward the unique scent of the nonchalant Jem Stonehouse.

Romance Under Wraps – Michele Jones
The Carnegie Museum of Natural History gets an Egyptian installation, and it seems to come with the ubiquitous mummy’s curse. Death and destruction abound.

Phantasm - J.L. Campbell
After losing her husband in a tragic accident, Josette is convinced she's on the road to recovery—until Dwayne starts appearing to her in ways that take her to the edge of terror and back.

The Beckoning of Beguiling Things - Calinda B

Remembered by Moonlight - Nancy Gideon
The deadly leader of a shape-shifter clan with no memories of who he is and a dedicated cop hiding a heart-breaking secret face impossible odds in steamy New Orleans that conspire to pull them apart. Because the enemy they pursue . . . might be him.

Once Forbidden - Hope Welsh
Devlin wants her from the moment he sees her save a child in a fire, but it’s forbidden for vampires to change humans. Can he bear to let her go?

My Review:
Paranormal Attractions is a collection of nine uniquely different, sizzling tales of paranormal romance, including 6 novellas and 3 novels.  PNR junkies can self-meditate to their heart's content, getting their "fix" from this awesome selection of everyone's favorite supernatural romance types - Shifters, Vampires, Ghosts, Gargoyles, Mummies - Oh My!  This boxed set has something for everyone!  A steamy smorgasbord of flavors, Paranormal Attractions offers readers a chance to sample a variety of pnr stories all neatly packaged together from some of the best, award winning authors around.  Whether you like your romance hot & erotic or slow & sweet, you'll find something to feast on that will more than satisfy your pnr appetite.

Stacy Eaton gets the blood pumping in My Blood Runs Blue when Kristen, a cop, investigates the brutal murder of a woman.  She meets the very mysterious and yet somehow familiar Julian, a vampire on his own special mission.  Julian is shocked to "recognize" Kristen as a woman he once loved, and so does his "boss", Alexander.  As Kristen looks to solve the murder/s, she finds herself in a love triangle with ties to her past.  Will history repeat itself?  Kristen discovers not only love, but also the key to her past.

J.A. Belfield's Instinct is a tantalizing introduction to her Holloway Pack series.  Werewolf Sean Holloway indulges in a different woman every week - until he first scents and sees Jem Stonehead who refuses to be his "flavor of the week".  And so the seduction begins . . . but what will happen when Jem learns who & what Sean really is?  Is love enough?  Can Sean turn his back on his pack for the woman he loves?  Instinct is a heartfelt love story about choices and consequences.

Parlor Games by Bonnie Edwards is book 4 of the Tales of Perdition series.  Matt Crew enters a bachelor auction at Perdition House and meets journalist, Carrie MacLean who is there to discover the real secrets hidden behind the walls.  Both have secrets of their own.  As the days go by, Matt & Carrie are unable to resist the powerful, sexual, supernatural chemistry between them and soon discover there is a lot more than charity bachelor auctions going on at Perdition House.  Parlor Games is an intense, sexy, erotic read with a powerful message about eternal love.

Love Set In Stone by Staci Troilo introduces the reader to Daniel (a warrior who entered a pact for his life after dying in battle in 1203), as he sits guard over the city by day as a gargoyle/grotesque and by night as a human.  Daniel meets Rina after saving her from a violent attack outside a bar, instantly recognizing her as his soul mate.  Daniel is challenged by the unfamiliar surroundings/gadgets of the modern world and by a rival for Rina's affections.  Can he save Rina from the danger stalking her?  Will Rina be able to accept both the man and the stone creature when she discovers the truth?  Love Set In Stone is an unique, almost fantasy-like story of love, regret, and second chances.

In Romance Under Wraps by Michele Jones, Dene must pass an ancient Egyptian pharaoh's curse in order to enter the afterlife by finding and winning the love of the lost queen.  Will he find her in time?  Will a mummy's centuries old curse keep him from earning her trust? Egyptian mythology, steamy romance, and a mystery to solve makes for one intriguing read.

J. L. Campbell's Phantasm is a sweet, yet terrorizing, love story about letting go of the past and taking a chance on the future.  Josette is walking a fine line, teetering on the edge of her dead husband's world as her terrorizing nightmares become all too real.  Mario offers her a second chance at love, but is she ready to let her dead husband go?  Or will she be forever lost between the living & the dead?  Phantasm is an intense, at times frightening, and yet beautiful love story.

The Beckoning of Beguiling Things by Calinda B is an introduction to the Beckoning Series.  Marissa  joins her sisters for a wild weekend in Vegas and meets Chris King, a dancer.  But all is not as it seems.  Forces combine, including The Numina (a magical society) and an evil sorcerer, to influence the outcome of Marissa's weekend by the choices she makes.  And yet, the very thing that may destroy her in the end are hidden secrets.  Will Marissa take a chance on a lasting one night stand?  This book is an intriguing introduction to the series.

Hope Welsh's Once Forbidden (Hunted #1) is a sinfully sexy, intimate love story.  Sarah was horribly disfigured saving a child from a burning house.  Since then, she keeps to herself only escaping in her erotic dreams.  Devin was watching as Sarah saved the child and found himself falling for the beautiful person he saw inside.  As a vampire, he has the power to give her formal external beauty back to her, but it is forbidden for a vamp to change a human.  Will Devin obey the rules & walk away?  Will Sarah open her heart & take a chance on real love?  Once Forbidden is a steamy, erotic and yet beautiful love story about taking chances.

Nancy Gideon's Remembered By Moonlight (By Moonlight #9) features my favorite Shifter & #1 BBF, sleek, deadly, & yet somehow vulnerable Max Savoie.  Remembered By Moonlight is an intense, emotionally charged story that continues the woes of Max and Cee Cee from previous books as they return to their high rise apartment, hoping that a familiar environment will help Max regain the memories he lost while held in captivity in The Chosen's lab. While Cee Cee yearns to resume the life with the mate she knew before his memories were erased, Max views her as a stranger, and for the foreseeable future, his prison guard. Nancy Gideon is a master at manipulating an emotionally charged atmosphere while fanning the sexual tension to a flame between characters. She sets the pages of Remembered By Moonlight afire with the desires that blaze between Max & Cee Cee as they rediscover each other and the life they lost with the erasure of Max's memories. Can they move forward as mates & lovers? Even if Max never regains his memories? Remembered By Moonlight is firing on all cylinders - it sizzles with love scenes that will have you seeking a cold shower, fast-paced action that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and an ending that will leave you sighing, smiling while wiping a tear. Moonlight fans - You will love this book! Fans of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, suspense, and romance - This is a Must Read!  While it is a part of a series, it can be read as a standalone - although you will be missing a "binge-worthy" series if you don't  grab the other By Moonlight books!

The Paranormal Attractions Boxed Set will be released June 20, 2016 for a limited time.  It offers readers a smorgasbord of sexy heroes/heroines to feast upon.  Prefer vampires?  You got it!  Are Shifters your thing?  Got that too.  How about ghosts & spirits?  Check.  Gargoyle & Angels?  I fell in love.  The PA boxed set contains an awesome selection of PNR stories - definitely something for everyone.  Be sure to grab your set on the 20th!  It's a Must Read!
