HALF IN LOVE by LEA BARRYMIREWillie Krenshaw Book 1Siren Publishing ClassicASIN B008AYYQEEPrice $4.99 (on sale for $3.82)Publication Date: June 6, 2012Willie Krenshaw wanted nothing more than a few minutes watching the waters of Lake Erie after a long workday.

When her inner kitty starts sniffing around at the male she’s helping, she knows Fate’s evil sense of humor is in full swing. Being a shifter-vampire hybrid is hard enough, but having a male vampire as her fated mate is just too much.

Her cougar was at the edge of her conscious mind, growling and pacing, looking for a way to take control and mark her mate. The cat was purring so loudly that Willie couldn’t hear anything else. The sound was making thought impossible. Her canines itched to elongate and take a nip at this male that had her at such odds with herself. Her clit was throbbing in time to her heart beat. Moisture was pooling in her slit, and the need to be filled by Nick was threatening to tear her sanity apart. She wanted to bite him, to leave her possessive mark on his body. The need to claim him as hers, so no other female would approach him, rushed through her. A growl rumbled in her chest before she could stop the sound.
“Easy. Keep it together, Willie. They’re already starting to leave. Just another minute or two and we can leave.” Nick’s voice was rough with passion as he breathed the words into her ear. A shudder raced through her body from the intimate sound. She wanted to hear him talk dirty to her in that voice. She wanted to hear him yell her name in passion with that voice as they climaxed together.
“I’m trying to keep your scent covered with mine so they don’t catch a whiff of your shifter side. You need to keep a handle on your animal because your scent is changing. Gods, but you smell hot and wet.”

“Hanky-panky? I know not what that means, but I understand the implied request. I will not push for intimacy until I have answered some of your questions.”
Renae held her breath as he moved alongside her on the bed. He slowly reached out and pulled her into his arms until he was spooned against her. She couldn’t stop her body from snuggling against his. He felt so right, so strong, so safe wrapped around her. She breathed deeply, pulling the smell of him into her lungs. She’d never concentrated on anyone’s scent before, but watching Alex sniff the air all the time made her hyper aware of the scents around her. He smelled of soap and perhaps cologne. She didn’t care what the components were, she just relished it and sighed contentedly into his arms.
“Okay. Explain to me why I can’t go home.” She didn’t want the answer, but this was the most important question on her mind.
She felt him breathe deeply and shivered as his words tickled across her neck. “You have a very simple choice. You can either live as a vampire’s property or I will have to end your life.”
“Right. Like that’s a choice at all.” She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. “Plain English. What do I have to agree to so I can not be dead?”
“Now that you know of us, you are not allowed to go back to your life as you knew it. The Council demands that all humans that know of vampires must be taken as a charge by a vampire. That arrangement can vary greatly, but there are certain requirements that must be met.”
“Which means what to me? Alex, look, I can feel you skirting the topic. Just tell me. I’m a big girl and can handle it, I promise. I just need to know what is going to happen.”
His body stiffened behind hers and she tensed as well, waiting for the bad news to come. Here we go. “You must be marked by one of us.”
She waited a few heartbeats for more. When he didn’t continue she knew this was the part he didn’t want to share. She turned in his arms and looked into his troubled eyes. “What exactly does that mean?”
………………………ABOUT LEA
Lea Barrymire lives in Western New York with her hubby, three children, and miscellaneous critters. Before the rugrats, she lived a life of adventure, following her husband all over Europe with the US military. She’s slept in a car outside Paris, drove six hours just to see tulips in the Netherlands, and knocked ash from her shoes at Pompeii. Now she spends her time in life’s adventures at soccer games, PTA meetings and school plays.
Lea has loved reading from a very young age, spending many sleepless nights devouring books. Science fiction and paranormal were her favorite genres to read as a teenager, and that love bled into her adult life. She started writing during a bout of insomnia, to fill time, and found it filled a creative void. Now she communes regularly with the characters in her head and tries not to laugh out loud when they say something funny.
When Lea isn’t reading, writing or corralling kids, she enjoys watching movies and sciencey shows, or just kicking back and listening to some music.
