Beauty Dates the Beast

September 19, 2011
Jill Myles (The Succubus Diaries) debuts as Jessica Sims with a funny, sexy, and lively first book in a shapeshifter series. Bathsheba Ward’s mission in life is to protect her sister’s secret: Sara was bitten by a werewolf in a vicious attack six years earlier. Both work for the paranormal dating service Midnight Liaisons. After Bathsheba fills in on a broken date with cougar shifter Beau Russell, head of the Russell clan, her boss threatens to out Sara unless Bathsheba agrees to date a variety of paranormals who lust after her Alliance-certified virginity. The kidnapping of a Russell cougar and the need to keep Sara’s secret provide the narrative arc, and dissonant episodes of violence occasionally interrupt the light tone, but the adorable relationship between Bathsheba and Beau drives the story and will leave readers eager for more.
