Between States by J.M. Snyder

Under a Confederate Moon by J.M. Snyder

Caleb is a confederate soldier of a renegade army. He is also a werecat and has a serious problem: during the full moon he changes automatically and can't prevent that. So happens also this time but during the first night he finds another werecat, Brance. Brance is wonded and rough, not at all friendly. But he is the first werecat Caleb has ever met, and Caleb is eager of companionship. And so he insinuates himself on Brance's life.

But the morning after he discovers that Brance is a union soldier, an enemy. But not a Caleb's enemy. Caleb is not fighting for an ideal, he has joined the army only to leave his home, and now that he has found a man he can trust with all himself, as human and werecat, he is not ready to lose him.

This is a very good weres story. The two men pass most of the time together in shifted form and when they are in that form they act like an animal not like a human. They are instinct and wild. And so their animal nature will win on their rational human form? Soldiers on opposite front could be lovers in the same paranormal world they share?

I like very much J.M. Snyder's style. She is very good in write realistic story setting in irrealistic world (paranormal or futuristic). Her characters are true even if they are paranormal being and enthral you in few pages.

It's good and fast and it's an ebook. 99% of what I read is in ebook, sometimes the epubs edit them also in print format. this one not, for what I know, but Amer Allure sometimes makes print books collecting one or more stories, so maybe in the future.

I'm glad you liked the book, Elisa! This is the first of three stories. The second one, "Beneath a Yankee Sky," will be available as an e-book in October from Amber Allure. The third one will just be a very short story, and once it's complete, all three will be released in a paperback collection.

lately I have read a lot of your books. I have to say that Power Play was a very good surprise I like it very much. Now I don't know what prefer among yours, both Power Play than Scarred fight for the gold. elisa
