I'm so excited to welcome everyone to my stop on the Rise By Moonlight Book Tour!  It's always a pleasure to give a shout-out about favorite books to other readers.  Rise By Moonlight is the final book in the paranormal romance By Moonlight series and as much as I hate to see it come to an end . . . what a way to go!  Explosive, Compelling, Intense!  You can read my full review below and also enjoy an excerpt from this book.  And then, be sure to scroll to the bottom to enter the Rafflecopter Giveaway!

5 Explosive Hearts!
Tensions escalate and emotions rage as former adversaries begrudgingly unite to stop a deadly invasion of enemies from the north in Rise By Moonlight, the compelling final book in Gideon's By Moonlight series.  Shapeshifter King Max Savoie and his mate Det. Charlotte Cassie offer refuge and support to the displaced Terriot King Cale and his brothers as they join forces along with others to protect their families and the people of New Orleans from the imminent threat posed by Geneviere Savorie and her lethal trackers.  Max and Cee Cee find themselves walking a narrow line between their conflicting worlds yet again as new alliances are formed, battle lines drawn, and loyalties questioned as it all comes down to one final epic explosive showdown.   Fans of the By Moonlight series will be ecstatic over this vividly rendered, intoxicating story, but if you're new to the series have no fear.  Gideon excels at weaving in needed backstory, offering an engaging reading experience to everyone.  I guarantee you'll quickly become addicted to these ferocious, yet sinfully sensuous characters and find yourself one-clicking to purchase previous books.  I highly recommend you indulge your fantasies by starting with Masked By Moonlight, book one.

Gideon pulls out all the stops to deliver an exhilarating, potent finale to fans of this unique paranormal series.  Rise By Moonlight is an intense, emotionally-charged story with all the elements of great paranormal romance suspense.  From page one to The End, my senses were on high alert, and I couldn't turn pages fast enough as tensions escalate, stakes are raised, and imminent danger inches ever closer.  Lies, secrets, and betrayals run rampant threatening to destroy Cee Cee's fragile world and all she holds dear.  Support characters include all the favorites from previous books - both those you love and those you love-to-hate.  Some will prove themselves while others are forced to show their true colors.  As always, Gideon's delivery is spot-on and her trademark banter and sensual chemistry between characters sizzles.  Rise By Moonlight is an engaging, electrifying, non-stop action paranormal romance - the gratifying culmination of multiple plot lines fans have been waiting for.  As the #1 fan of the series, I hate to see it end . . . but oh what a way to go!  Highly Recommended!

Rise By Moonlight Excerpt:

Going to the office never occurred to Max until he was showering off the exhilaration of the day. An unexpected, enjoyable day in simpatico company.

Growing up isolated and ignorant of his kind, he’d never known pack-like comradery until Charlotte Caissie led him across the threshold of Cheveux du Chien where, after a rocky start, he’d been embraced by the Shifter club’s owner Jacques LaRoche. Learning what he was from him, Max had found a place to belong.

Time had no meaning as he’d run the woods with the Terriots. The scent of the earth, the heat of exertion, the brotherhood of the pack; things he hadn’t known he needed until the wild freedom of what they were when running together unleashed him. Hours lost meaning. They’d hunted and challenged, at one with the land, air and sky, basic beings driven by uncomplicated joy within the security of their number. He hadn’t experienced such exhilaration . . . since his father taught him secrets seldom shared with another.

The day had been more than simple fun. He’d been pushing the brothers, testing them, gaging their abilities. And they’d far surpassed expectation. If he had to go into a battle he wasn’t sure he could win, they were who he’d want at his side.

But would they be enough?

Frowning over that question, he’d just started down the stairs when he heard the unmistakable roar of a big block engine. The initial leap of his heart sank into the uncertainty of their situation, something she’d avoided, and he feared. He’d rarely placed boundaries on their relationship, not that she’d abide by them. Taming his bold mate was never his intention. Her independent nature had drawn him from first glance. He’d never ask her to change or suppress those things that defined her, those things he adored.

But he’d been having dreams . . .
