 Growing up in Louisiana I have always heard the legends of men that were able to turn into certain animals. It was even rumored that my great grandfather had the power to turn into a big black dog, which he enjoyed scaring people so this fit him. The book Bayou Heat Raphael / Parish are two really great novellas that play on the legends of the Pantera, or men that can turn into giant cats. 
 The Pantera numbers are slowly declining. There hasn't been a cub born in many years, so it comes to the great shock that two of their lead men fall for humans. First we have the story of Raphael who meets his mate in a bar known to be the hang out of his kind. After one night of passion he scrubs her memory, but leaves her with the last present he thought he could leave behind, his baby. Ashe thinks she has lost her mind. She is pregnant, and has no memory of how she got that way except for flashes of memory or dreams. Raphael has his work cut out for him convincing her that they belong together, and that he isn't quite human. 
 Parish is sent into the city to try and talk one of the leading Ob doctors into coming to live with the Pantera to help Ashe with her pregnancy and birth, but when he gets with in her company he realizes that she is the last thing he would ever want his HUMAN mate. He decides he wants her and nothing will stop him from bringing her with him, so he does what any man would do right?? He kidnaps her. LOL .. He also has his work cutout for him. He has to talk her into staying not only for himself, but to help out with Ashe. 
 These are really two great quick and hot reads! I really can't wait to read the next installment of this series!! Hope y'all like them as much as I did!!
