Reviews"The storyline was pure reading heaven..." - Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed, for Riding Partner "This
novella is an erotic romance and delivers on both counts - it is quite romantic
and is full of some hot bed play." Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews for Revealing
Photos " UNDER HER SKIN is so much more than a wonderful romance, it’s
a lesson in love and acceptance. It is an experience not to be missed."

The Mountain’s Call By Caitlin Brennan Luna ISBN #0-373-80256-2 Paperback $6.99 I’d been looking at this series for a while now being a fan of both well-written fantasy novels and horses. So, when the third book came in my first shipment of Luna novels, I knew I had to get the first two and read. And I am glad I did. Never before had a girl heard the call of the White Gods, divine creatures who take the form of white horses. But Valeria heard the call and stole away to follow it, as those who are called must. On the road she meets First Rider Kerrac, and together they go to the Mountain to learn from the White Gods and of their magic. But the Masters of the school don’t want a woman violating their domain, so in spite of the gods’ will, they expel Valeria. Kerrac, however, arranges her to stay on, and so she learns, and befriends the son of a chieftain. She’s pulled into alliances and plots and political intrigue far deeper than this farmer’s daughter ever knew. There’s only one word for this novel: breathtaking. From rich, vivid characterizations to a plot with so many twists and turns you’re never sure what’s going to happen next, this novel delivers a powerful, compelling read. As a young girl, and young woman, I saw the Royal Lipizzaner Stallions perform, and the author, a breeder of these same magnificent horses, brings to life the movements and precision of watching them perform. She knows her horses. For fans of rich world-building, excellent characterization, and a page-turning story, this book delivers. I can’t wait to read the next one in the series. Poison Study By Maria V. Snyder Luna ISBN #0-373-80257-9 Paperback $6.99 I’m not usually a fan of books written in the first person, but from the opening lines, this volume swept me into the world and simply wouldn’t let me go. The story of a woman condemned to death for murder, she receives a reprieve. Become the food taster and risk daily death or be executed. Of course our heroine takes the risk, and it’s good she does. Poison Study is the author’s first novel, and although there are a few minor things along the way, it was a smooth read from cover to cover. This page-turner keeps things moving with an intricate, but fast paced plot, a likeable heroine, and high stakes. We’re introduced into a rich world where magical powers are shunned as much as they’re coveted, and there’s a traffic in humans and drugs, that parallels many of the ills of our own society. I loved the way our heroine took charge of her life, and the way she makes friends and allies along the way. This book is more than about staying alive, though that does consume a large portion of it, it’s about life and love. An excellent read, and well recommended.
