A Mythical Shape-Shifter Who Rules the Jungle . . . .

Hold Onto The Night by Shauna Michaels is a great paranormal romance. Kathleen Dawson, geologist for the Dalco Oil Company, travels to a South America jungle. She is desperately trying to prove her worth to her father and sets out to find oil. Immediately, she feels that something isn't normal about the dark night. It is too quiet almost omnious and she can't shake the feeling that she is being watched. The guides who are travelling with her are very, very nervous. She had heard them whispering amongst themselves about the Jaguar Man. The guides are terrified of this mythical shape-shifter who rules the jungle both as a man and as a beast. Kathleen is drugged and awakens to find herself in a cave with a mysterious man called Guerriro. She is afraid but at the same time, feels an attraction for this mysterious man. On some primative level, she desires him and is totally bewildered by the way her body is reacting to him. Guerriro also feels desire for Kathleen but he reigns in on that desire unwilling to have her interfere with his duty to the people of the jungle. He tells her that he is responsible for the Jaquar Man myth and warns her to flee. She refuses, desperately needing to find oil in order to finally prove her worth to her father.Kathleen's refusal to flee changes her fate forever.She finds that her guides are missing, leaving her alone in a rain storm that soon becomes a flood. She is saved by a black jaguar and finds herself once again in Guerriro's cave. Confronted with her growing feelings for him, Kathleen begins to question who he "really" is. What if he is really cursed to live his life as a jaguar by day and as a man by night? What will become of their growing feelings for each other if this turns out to be true?Hold Onto The Night is an enjoyable read. Paranormal fans will not be disappointed as they unravel the mystery of the Jaguar Man.

wonderfully exotic read

This book was the first time I've ever read a paranormal romance and I am addicted. Not only is the story fast moving and oh so romantic but wonderfully erotic too. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a little escapism. If only a man like Gueirriro really did exsist!

Hold Onto The Night

In Hold Onto the Night, Shauna Micheals has woven a deliciously sultry jungle tale. Guerriro is all any romance reader could hope for in a hero and Kathleen is strong enough to risk becoming a were-jaguar herself in order to stay with the man she loves. Thank you, Ms. Micheals, for providing this thoroughly engrossing read.

Excellent supernatural romance

Dalco Oil geologist Dr. Kathleen Dawson knows first hand how different the Costa Sierra rain forest is from her hometown of Dallas. However, though nervous at night and loving the primitive landscape during the day, Kathleen never expected the jungle myth Jaguar Man to abduct her. Speaking for the trees, the enigmatic kidnaper tells Kathleen to return to the States. She refuses to heed his advice as she hopes this trip will gain her the long desired approval of her father.The next day, Kathleen awakens in her camp with all her guides missing. When a tropical storm washes her into a raging river, her abductor rescues her. As he protects her, he falls in love with his American guest. She returns the feelings, no longer caring what her father thinks. However, though he wants her and to remain with him forever, Guerriro, as she knows him, refuses to allow her to live his cursed life.Shauna Michaels shows powerful descriptive skills that bring the rain forest into living color for the audience. That along with an exciting romance makes HOLD ONTO THE NIGHT a great tale to read. Kathleen is a brave, but somewhat foolish person willing to test anything for parental approval. Guerriro is a mysterious hunk who will capture readers' hearts. Their forbidden love is hotter than the climate where they met.Harriet Klausner
