The Dove Queen
by Mara Lee Available from Liquid Silver Books
ISBN: 1-59578-078-5 March 2005
Adair Salomar loved the freedom of flying. As an Aviante shifter and Princess
Royal, Adair unfortunately had to put up with a lot of protection from her
guards. The only place she ever felt truly free and happy was when she was
flying as a dove. Unfortunately, even then she couldn’t be totally free as she had to keep a look out for the dove’s enemy, the Aviante hawk shifters. Luck is not on Adair’s side this day as she gets attacked by two hawks and becomes very seriously injured.
Prince Royal Dominion Weathermead is royally angered when he comes across two hawks attacking a helpless dove. Though the doves and hawks had been enemies for a long time, Dom yearns for peace. He brings the helpless dove back to his castle where she can heal in safety, without fear of being attacked again. He has no idea that it is the dove Princess who is currently healing in his castle. All he knows is that from the moment he sees the dove in her human form, he is incredibly attracted to her. Dom has never felt this way about any woman before, and to suddenly feel desire for a dove… it’s not only arousing, but it’s shocking. Doves are genteel and soft, they are not the able warriors that the hawks are, or so Dom thinks before he gets to know his guest.
Adair wants out as she doesn’t feel safe in the home of the hawk Prince. She’s fearful that he plans to torture and kill her…instead, Dom totally turns the tables on her when he “tortures” her with desire, with lust, with passion and the promise of not only a peaceful coexistence between doves and hawks, but an everlasting love between Dom and Adair. But the path to happiness is fraught with danger, intrigues, and plenty of new friendships.
The Dove Queen was an amazing and sensual romance between two warring groups. The hawks and doves both have harsh preconceptions about each other and it will take a lot to make peace even a slight possibility, but Dom and Adair are both up to the challenge. Mara Lee has created two characters who are very strong willed, very stubborn, and who are both looking out for their people. They have each suffered tragedy due to the enmity between their groups, but their growing love and trust for each other point to the possibility of a brighter future. There is much hope in this story, along with an intriguing romance between two secondary characters. This book has it all: fantastic settings, an imaginative look at shape shifters, lots of internal strife, plenty of romance, and just an overall hopeful tone that shines through in the union between Dom and Adair. This is one book you definitely won’t want to miss!

In The Eye Of The Moon Paranormal erotic romance
by Mara Lee Available from Liquid Silver Books
ISBN: 1-59578-027-0 July 2004
Shelia came to New York to get her singing career off the ground. Unfortunately she is tired of the rat race and has made the decision to go back home when she is bitten and kidnapped by a werewolf. When she awakens it is to find herself in a whole different world that she feels strangely connected to? Then she is informed that she is to be the mate and alpha female of the pack. Problems arise when rogue wolves are determined to take not only her, but the pack as well. Now Shelia must fight for her life and the lives of her new found family.
Airek takes Shelia from the rogue wolf that is determined to kill him and take over as alpha. Aierk knows that Shelia has always been destined to be his mate and that she knows nothing of her heritage. He must find a way to make her accept her new way of life and her position as alpha. Knowing she is confused by her feelings, he intends to show her all that she has been missing in her life living as a human. The danger is not over yet; Aierk still has to face the wolf that wants his mate and his position as alpha. Can he hold on to them both?
This book is totally awesome and going on my keeper shelf. Mara Lee has created a world where humans and wolves live side by side, but not by the same laws. Aierk is a definite alpha with the attitude to match. Shelia is confused at first, but it's not long before she finds her inner strength and becomes Aierk's equal in every way. The sex is hot, intense and animalistic. A definite keeper in my book, I will be looking for more of Mara Lee's work and hope another wolf story is on the way.
