Synopsis:
Anna and Donovan have loved each other since they were children in Ireland. As adults, they are separated by class expectations and a mother who would stop at nothing, even murder, to see her son married to the woman of her choice. Anna is forced to become a Dark One, one of the Irish dark fairies known for their shape-shifting abilities, and their taste for blood. Anna races to reunite with Donovan on the ship of dreams, before he slips away forever. Now time is running out and Anna and Donovan must race against time to save each other.
 
From the book:   He could barely think straight. He remembered all those nights without her when he’d worried for her safety, the long days of not knowing that nearly drove him crazy. All the times when he thought he had lost his sanity. “Anna, my God,” he murmured now against her neck, “Where have you been? I thought you were gone forever. I love you.”
   His whispered words touched Anna in a place she’d tried to bury the night she’d been transformed, but he broke through those barriers as if they were nothing.
   Anna stayed still and let herself feel for the first time in two years. She had not wanted him to ever see her like this. She had just wanted to make sure he was okay…that’s why she stowed away on this ship with him… but she chose to enjoy this moment anyway. There was no way she could deny herself this. For the first time since she’d died, she felt alive.

Hunting the Moon is Free today and tomorrow on Amazon.uk.

Sorry for the late start. Cutie (my husband, Dan) and I changed computers and I couldn't get Blogger to open until just now. Anyway, if you're into Paranormal Romance, you're in for a treat. So, what is the book about?
Synopsis:
A year after the murder of her husband, Lilly Lawson is still plagued by nightmares that have pushed her back into her adolescent habit of cutting. Even worse, she starts to see and communicate with her husband’s ghost. When she goes to the sentencing for the man convicted of the crime, she finds herself captivated by the killer's brother. 
 
Daemon Kelly has returned to their small town after a long absence to care for his elderly mother. He also has to face the whispers regarding his brother's crime and his own alcoholism. When he comes face to face with the widow of the man his brother killed, he feels an intense need to protect her, but from what, he doesn't know.    
 
When the two fall in love it is anything but easy. Aaron Lawson is intent on coming back and claiming what is his. And the closer Lily and Daemon get to Aaron's ghost, the more they unravel the truth about why he died in the first place. Piecing together bits of ancient Celtic lore, can they find a way to help Aaron's soul find rest? 
 
This is the first of a series by Rebecca Boucher who also is Blog Tour Coordinator for Write More Publications.
