I've been a longtime fan of Alexandra Ivy with her fantastic Guardians Of Eternity series & I couldn't wait to get Bayou Heat in my hands.. And ohhh, my goodness.. It was so worth the wait! This book was freakin' hot! Alex teams up with the amazing Laura Wright for this series & the first book, Raphael/Parish Bayou Heat is one hell of combination! These gals sure know how to write and make a reader stand at attention! The descriptions make you feel like you are right smack dab in the middle of the bayou with all these sexy shifters surrounding you!
We meet Raphael, first. He's a Pantera "suit", aka: diplomat, but a damned sexy one at that! He unexpectedly met up with the delicious human, Ashe and lo & behold, she ended up pregnant! Oh, hold the phone!! What? Oh, yes.. And the Pantera have not been able to impregnate a human so what is going on here? This portion of the book takes you through hard-headed Ashe's fight to stay the strong single gal she is, but she can't resist Raphael when he turns up the heat! (Really, who could?:) And then, bam! Someone is on to her & trying to wipe her out of existence! Can Raphael save her before this mysterious group of unknowns end up killing his beautiful Ashe? Or just as bad, possibly even himself?
And then on to Parish's part of the story. This is one hard-headed, stubborn but internally devastated Pantera shifter.. He's a Hunter & following orders to get Dr. Julia Talbot back to the Wildlands to help deliver Ashe's baby.. But the moment he catches his first sniff of the gorgeous but broken Julia, he wants her for more than just a Pantera doctor.. He wants her for his own.. Julia is shocked yet astounded at discovering the existence of the magical Pantera and she can't help feeling just a bit like melted chocolate when Parish is near her.. But Parish is still hurting from the loss of his sister & Julia is trying to overcome a horrible relationship mistake, not to mention that the same group that was after Ashe is now after her! Can Parish manage to keep Julia safe & talk her into being his mate? Or will the bad guys manage to take Julia's life before he gets the chance?
This is one hell of a combo book! I am anxiously awaiting the next installment! It's only a .99 cent download, so get over to Amazon or Barnes & Noble & snap it up! You'll be loving these sexy Pantera shifters & the Bayou Heat surrounding them!

RAPHAEL
The brilliant and dangerous diplomat of the Pantera shapeshifters, Raphael has devoted his life to discovering the key to the infertility that is threatening the extinction of his puma race. Creating a vast network of spies worldwide, he never expected to discover that the answer might be beneath his very nose. But when Ashe, a beautiful human female, crosses his path, his most primitive instincts are stirred. Unable to resist, he takes her to his bed, and is shocked when she becomes pregnant with his child. It’s a miracle that might prove to be the salvation of his people, but only if he can keep her safe from the mercenaries determined to kill her.
PARISH
Untamed and undeniably sexy, Parish, leader of the Pantera hunters, rarely leaves the magic of the Wildlands to deal with the humans he despises. But with the prized and risky Pantera birth on the way, puma shifter, Parish must travel to New Orleans to find and bring back a human doctor. The moment he sees the lovely, talented and all too human Dr. Julia Cabot he cannot resist the wild, potent drive to make her his. Betrayed and destroyed by love, Julia will not let her heart choose her path again. But as she and Parish fight to save the life of an unborn child, a fierce and overwhelming bond develops between them, threatening her frozen heart with the secret hope and ultimate temptation of love and family.
