Tales of the Were series
by Bianca D'Arc
Blurb by pearls
Military Shifters was enough to intrigue me, so I requested a review copy of Bianca D'Arc's newest book Red, the 2nd book in the Redstone Clan series. The Redstone clan is a family of cougar shifters who have created a community of shifters of all types. D'Arc has created her own universe of Others: paranormal creatures who co-exist secretly amongst humans and who have magical powers. The Redstone clan is powerful, and has built a peaceful truth with other weres and vampires in the Las Vegas area. They serve the Light.
But Evil is always waiting for an opportunity to strike at the light. And the Were are ready for them. In addition to their shifter gifts, they have served as Special Forces, Green Berets, Seals. This combination makes them lethal fighters and defenders of the Light, as well as protectors of those they love.
I have love all the characters I have met in Red's book, and I will definitely pick up their books that I have missed. In Red's book, he has been called upon by an old Army buddy to protect his baby sister who's visiting Las Vegas. Babysitting a bachelorette party quickly turns into a fight between good and evil. Meanwhile, Red and Trisha fight their growing attraction out of respect for her brother. What unfolds is an action story filled with romance. An enjoyable read that prompts me to add Tales of the Were to my TBR list!

Tales of
the Were: The Others #1
Rocky
On the run from her husband's killers, there is only one man who can help
her now... her Rock.
Maggie is on the run from those who killed her husband nine months ago.
She knows the only one who can help her is Rocco, a grizzly shifter she knew in
her youth. She arrives on his doorstep in labor with twins. Magical,
shapeshifting, bear cub twins destined to lead the next generation of
werecreatures in North America.
Rocky is devastated by the news of his Clan brother's death, but he
cannot deny the attraction that has never waned for the small human woman who
stole his heart a long time ago. Rocky absented himself from her life when she
chose to marry his childhood friend, but the years haven't changed the way he
feels for her.
And now there are two young lives to protect. Rocky will do everything
in his power to end the threat to the small family and claim them for himself.
He knows he is the perfect Alpha to teach the cubs as they grow into their
power... if their mother will let him love her as he has always longed to do.
Tales of
the Were: The Others #2
Slade
The fate of
all shifters rests on his broad shoulders, but all he can think of is her.
Slade is a mystery. A warrior and spy who serves two masters - those in
the human world and the Lords of the Were. They've sent him to Nevada to track
a brutal murderer before the existence of all shifters is revealed to a world
not ready to know.
Kate is a priestess serving the Goddess and the large community of
shifters that have gathered around the Redstone cougars. When their matriarch
is murdered and the scene poluted by dark magics, she knows she must help the
enigmatic man sent to track the killer.
Together, Slade and Kate find not one but two evil mages that they
alone can neutralize. It's a tricky situation because Slade finds it hard to
keep his hands off his sexy new partner, the cougars are out for blood, and the
killers have an even more sinister plan in mind.
Can Kate somehow keep her hands to herself when the most attractive man
she's ever met makes her want to throw caution to the wind? And can Slade do
his job and save the situation when he's finally found a woman who can make him
purr?
Tales of
the Were: Grif
Redstone
Clan #1
Griffon Redstone is the eldest of five brothers and the leader of one
of the most influential shifter Clans in North America. He seeks solace in the
mountains, away from the horrific events of the past months, for both himself
and his young sister. The deaths of their older sister and mother have hit them
both very hard.
Lindsey Tate is human, but very aware of the werewolf Pack that lives
near her grandfather's old cabin. She's come to right a wrong her grandfather
committed against the Pack and salvage what's left of her family's honor - if
the wolves will let her. Mostly, they seem intent on running her out of town on
a rail.
But the golden haired stranger, Grif, comes to her rescue more than
once. He stands up for her against the wolf Pack and then helps her fix the old
generator at the cabin, making it habitable for her while she completes her
task. He's friendly and all too attractive, but she has a job to do, regardless
of the cost to herself or her budding relationship with the local handyman.
When she performs the ceremony she expects will end in her death, the
shifter deity has other ideas and turns the tables on them all. Grif's dual
nature is revealed and Lindsey learns there is much more going on than she
thought.
Thrown together by fate, neither of them can deny the deep and true
attraction between them. They come together, but in the end will an old enemy
rip them apart?
Warning: Cats
are frisky and they get up to all sorts of naughtiness, including a
frenzy-induced multi-partner situation that might be a little intense for some
readers. You have been warned.

Redstone Clan
#2
A water
nymph and a werecougar meet in a bar fight... No joke.
Steve
Redstone agrees to keep an eye on his friend's little sister while she's
partying in Las Vegas. He's happy to do the favor for an old Army buddy. What
he doesn't expect is the wild woman who heats his blood and attracts too much
attention from Others in the area.
Steve ends
up defending her honor, breaking his cover and seducing the woman all within
hours of meeting her, but he's helpless to resist her. She is his mate and that
startling fact is going to open up a whole can of worms with her, her brother
and the rest of the Redstone Clan.
Trisha's had
to hide her special abilities most of her life, but with her brother's Army
buddy - the guy they call Red - she's finally free to be herself. He calls to
her in a way she's never experienced before and while bad guys keep trying to
abduct her, he's her safe port in the storm. But can such dangerous beginnings
lead to a life-long love?
Tales of
the Were: Magnus
Redstone Clan
#3
COMING EARLY 2014
Magnus Redstone is the middle of five
brothers. As a result, he's always had a little bit of a hard time forging his
own identity. While he excels at martial arts, he didn't want to be a soldier
like Grif and Steve, his two older brothers. He also doesn't have time for
practical jokes like the younger two, Bob and Matt. No, Mag is probably the
most serious of the brothers and he always has been. The only real moment when
he threw caution to the wind was when he met one very special lady. A lady with
fangs...
