Pride Bundle #2


Shelly Laurenston - 2012
    Now, in The Beast in Him, one gorgeous lone wolf is about to meet his match...Some things are so worth waiting for. Like the moment when Jessica Ward "accidentally" bumps into Bobby Ray Smith and shows him just how far she's come since high school. Back then, Jess's gangly limbs and bruised heart turned to jelly any time Smitty's "all the better to ravish you with" body came near her. So, some things haven't changed. Except now Jess is a success on her own terms. And she can enjoy a romp--or twenty--with a big, bad wolf and walk away. EasyMace Llewellyn. Brendon Shaw. Two tall, gorgeous, sexy alpha heroes who are 100% male--with a little something extra. Lion-shifters, to be exact, who can unleash every woman;s animal side and still look good--make that spectacular--in a suit...and even better out of it...NYPD cop Desiree "Dez" MacDermot knows she's changed a lot since she palled around with her childhood buddy, Mace. But it's fair to say that Mace has changed even more. It isn't just those too-sexy gold eyes, or the six-four, built-like-a-Navy Seal body. It's something in the way he sniffs her neck and purrs, making her entire body tingle...Meanwhile, for Tennessean Ronnie Lee Reed, New York City is the place where any girl--even one who runs with a Pack--can redefine herself. First order of business: find a mate, settle down, and stop using men for sex. Even big, gorgeous, lion shifter men like Brendon Shaw. But she needn't worry, because now that Brendon's set his sights on her, the predator in him is ready to pounce and never let go...Seeing is deceiving. And Ric Van Holtz, the wolfishly sexy hero of Shelly Laurenston's sizzling, wildly entertaining new tale, is nothing you expect-and everything you want...When it comes to following her instincts, former Marine Dee-Ann Smith never holds back. And this deadly member of a shifter protection group will do anything to prove one of her own kind is having hybrids captured for dogfights. Trouble is, her too-cute rich-boy boss Ric Van Holtz insists on helping out. And his crazy-like-a-fox smarts and charming persistence are making it real hard for Dee to keep her heart safe...He's big, burly, and way smarter than your average shapeshifting bear. He's also about to get rapped by his own game...Lou Crushek is a reasonable, mellow, easygoing kind of guy. But once someone starts killing the scumbags he works so hard to bust, that really gets under his fur. Especially when that someone is a curvy she-tiger with a skill set that's turning Crush's lone-bear world upside down--and bringing his passion out of hibernation...

Hounds Of The Baskervilles. From Demon Dogs To Sherlock Holmes: The True Story of the Beast!


Nick Redfern - 2012
    . . DEVIL HOUNDS. DEMON DOGS. PHANTOM CANINES FROM HELL. THEY DO EXIST! One nearly scared to death eyewitness proclaimed after the beast loomed in front of him: “It was the biggest bloody ‘dog’ I have ever seen in my life!” Legends of black dogs and phantom hounds are widespread throughout the United Kingdom as well as in the United States. Though presented in novelized form, Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his most popular detective thriller on true accounts of a mysterious black beast with blazing red eyes who is said to have attacked those crossing the moors. Some were lucky to have gotten away with their lives. Perhaps there are others who disappeared and their bodies were not accounted for. Who can say for certain? In addition to presenting the number one classic detective thriller of all time in its unabridged, fully illustrated, form, this work goes way beyond the boundaries of fiction into the realm of the supernatural. Today’s top paranormal researcher’s delve into stories of the bloody beast who comes in various sizes and apparently even has the ability to shape shift into a more hideous creature when cornered. As England’s leading cryptozoologist, Nick Redfern, points out, “There is one important factor to remember: Conan Doyle did not invent Britain’s phantom, fiery-eyed hounds. He merely brought them to the attention of the public in spectacularly entertaining style. In reality, the creature had been prowling around the British countryside for centuries; and particularly so Dartmoor – the fictional home of the world’s most famous hound of horror in all its awful glory.” According to Redfern the same area the imaginary Sherlock Holmes conducted his investigation around, is also, in reality, rife with ancient tales and legends of a group of diabolical and unholy creatures known as the Wisht Hounds – fearsome devil-dogs with glowing eyes and large fangs. “They are said to have a taste for both human flesh and human souls, and ride with the Devil himself, as he crosses the windswept wilds of Dartmoor late at night - and atop a headless, black horse, no less.” According to legend, the Wisht Hounds inhabit the nearby Wistman’s Woods – a sacred grove where, in centuries past, ancient druids held pagan rituals in honor of a veritable multitude of old Earth gods and goddesses. Here are dozens of accounts of devilish, gruesome, repugnant “monsters” – some of whom stand eight feet tall – who are said to be Satan’s watch dogs protecting the portals to another dimension or realm where no mortal should be made to tread!

Shayla Leblanc - 2012
    Besides, you stink. You smell like the swamp, and wet hound dog.”His feelings appeared to be hurt. “I know you from church, before I was this.” He looked down.As mad as I was I couldn't help but feel bad about insulting him. I studied him in the moonlight. He was a good looking man. I felt a tingle in my panties, and tried to stifle it as I looked at his cock, dangling there like a bloated boudin sausage.I looked away quickly, “What do you mean you might die?”“An old Creole witch has put the hoodoo curse on me. I will die if I do not breed by the end of this moon.” His Cajun accent was thick and enchanting when he explained his predicament.“Sadie, I need you. Your smell is intoxicating. I will have you with or without your consent. You cannot overpower me and you cannot get away.”He sat in front of me on his knees. He ran his fingers through my long brown hair and he leaned in to kiss me again. I found myself getting so aroused. My panties were drenched, and I could not tell if it was the humidity of the swamp, or my sex responding to his advances. This man before me was chiseled and cut like a Greek god. He had muscles everywhere. I was getting so turned on.“I'm a nice girl. I don't do these things.” I said as I broke our kiss and looked away again. I crossed my arms in defiance. “I don't even know your name.”Taking my head in his hands, he looked deep into my eyes, his nostrils flaring, taking in my scent. “I am called Jepthah.”I paused for a minute, thinking back to church, trying to remember him. I could not. His hands were all over me now, feeling my perky breasts through my sweat soaked shirt. I tried to resist but it felt so good. Again, I paused trying to push him away.“You are a Rougarou. Did you kill those out of towners? You must have.” I looked at him, waiting for an answer while he felt on my thighs, his fingers inching toward my pussy.I slapped his hand away again. He looked at me, then looked down. “I promise you Sadie, that was....another.”“Another what? Another Rougarou? There are more of you?” It made perfect sense even if it was something I didn't want to hear. Suddenly the terror began to fill my chest again, thinking about these hoodoo cursed werewolves preying on the innocent. I felt light headed. It was too much to accept.“Sadie, I must have your body, tonight!” his voice hissed with urgency.“I can't. You kill people. Cursed or not I can't be with a killer.”“I do not!” I could hear the hurt in his voice. “ I do not kill. I only feed on marsh hens, and other creatures of the swamp. I am not like the one that kills. He is cruel. I only kill what I must.”The moon was high in the swamp. If it wasn't so eerie it would be beautiful. I thought I would burst with longing as I looked at this man. My pussy was on fire for him, I could feel the heat radiating through my jeans.
