This was a very fast pace read with all of the goodies that come with an erotic paranormal romance... This book is top on my recommended list." - Laurie, Bitten By Paranormal Romance"The concept of Surrounded by Woods, that no single women can come on this particular property, was interesting and not something I have read before... I ended up reading this book non-stop and will be reading it again." - Literary Nymphs"Wow, this short story was hot!  The author did an excellent job laying out the characters and the world in a short amount of time, and was able to make it believable.  The sex scenes were scorching hot, and the character interaction, along with the characters themselves, really drew me into the story. Anyone who enjoys their shifter stories primitive, raw and hot should give this book a try." - Rom Fan Reviews

Autumn Bliss

Autumn Bliss

Stacey Joy Netzel

Romance / Romantic Suspense

AUTUMN BLISS, book 5 After a string of bad luck, Mallory Parker is convinced her future lies way beyond the streets of the small home town that stole her mother’s hopes and dreams. As soon as she saves enough money at her new job, she’s going to get out and get a life, and no one can tempt her to stay—until she meets the man who does. Army veteran Levi Jenkins is still dealing with the aftermath of his last tour of duty. Working in the background as a maintenance man at Whispering Pines Lodge gives him the peace his soul craves. The last thing he wants is the distraction of a woman who charms his heart while teaching him to smile again. Or maybe, that’s exactly what he needs. Levi fears loving her and losing her would be too much to endure—and yet, asking Mallory to stay could destroy the very essence that makes her so special. If either of them are to be happy, he must find the courage to set her free. EXCERPT: “Hands like this, then swing back, and around, and bring it down so the sharp edge hits the wood in the center.” In one fluid motion, he did exactly as he described and split the piece of wood clean in half. Facing her, he asked, “Got it?” “Yeah. I got it.” His eyebrow arched at her sarcasm, but she didn’t care. It felt good to not care for once. To not pretend like she was okay with the raw deal life had handed her lately. Felt great actually. He extended the ax and she wrenched it from his grasp. Only he let go at the same time and she stumbled at the unexpected lack of resistance. His lightning fast steadying grip only annoyed her more. She stepped into position as he placed a log on the stump for her, then stood back slightly, off to her left. “No. Put your hands like I showed you.” She’d seen his swing, and the subsequent play of muscles beneath his T-shirt, but prior to that, she’d been focused on him, not the instructions. She moved her hands closer together. “This isn’t baseball.” She moved them farther apart. “I thought you said you got it?” he huffed as he stepped up behind her. His arms closed around her, his hands sliding down to adjust her grip on the handle as the front of his body came into full contact with her back. She sucked in a surprised breath and smelled nothing but Levi. From one heartbeat to the next, all her anger and frustration morphed into intense awareness that literally had her trembling in her boots. He’d gone completely still. His heat seeped through her clothes. After a moment, he cleared his throat and moved her left hand up one inch. “There, try that.” His rough voice in her ear sent all kinds of delicious tingles tripping along her nerve endings. Yet he didn’t let go or step away. Heart pounding, she turned her head far enough to see his face. His gaze locked on hers, a gorgeous green full of the desire she’d desperately been trying to ignore. ~~~ To everything there is a season...
