Hello my dear Coffee Time Romance Readers!
I’m certainly enjoying my day on the blog with you all. You met my vampires in another post earlier today. Now it’s time to meet my wolf shifter family, the Luparell siblings. My shifters are part of Decadent Publishing’s multi-author world of the Black Hills Wolves. Each story in the series is a standalone read and as unique as the author who wrote it, meaning you can read the series in any order you want.
My three books are an independent trilogy within the series. Since my lovebirds from Diamond Moon (the first story) have a wedding in Jasmine Moon (the third story), you may want to read mine in this order: Diamond Moon, Under A Mating Moon, Jasmine Moon.
Note: high heat paranormal romance!
DIAMOND MOON
Human-wolf hybrid Darci Diamond’s excruciating shifts terrify her. The last one caused her heart to stop beating. Seeking a cure, she journeys from her Oregon home to Los Lobos, South Dakota.
Ross Luparell returns to the struggling Tao pack to build homes for pack families in need. He never imagined he would also find his one true mate. But then a hybrid with the biggest green eyes he’s ever seen lands on his doorstep.
She wants a normal human life, free from pain-filled shifts. He wants her to trust her true nature, and trust him with her heart.
Excerpt:
He reached out with his Wolf senses. The feedback froze his fingers on the doorknob. Female. Damn, she smelled good. Human. Wolf. Wait…both? The copper tang of blood hit his nose. And injured.
He flung open the door. His abrupt move caught his visitor off guard, one small, white fist raised to knock. The woman startled and fell forward. Catching her, he pulled her inside, kicking the door shut with his foot.
She sagged against him, a shivering bundle of wet woman. Underneath the dampness, her scent drop-kicked his gut. Apples and cinnamon. Roses and honey. His body perked up, taking extreme notice. He fought the growl of possession threatening to tear out of his throat. Holy h***, had his potential mate just walked into his home in the middle of a storm?

UNDER A MATING MOON
Under A Mating Moon is the second book in the trio I wrote for the series. Jake and Lexi are at the top of my list of favorite wolves, along with a couple of badass werewolves in the Tranquilli Bloodline series. Lexi is snarky, talented, and tough. Jake is smart, also talented, and alpha to the core. Their chemistry is hot, hot, hot. The story has romance, sex, a camping trip, and a rave. Fun times are had by all but the antagonist, LOL.
About the book:
British Alpha wolf Jake Matthews spends his days among humans, pursuing a lucrative music career. When his current DJ tour takes him to the US, he stops in Los Lobos and runs into the one wolf he never wants to see again—the mate who rejected his claim.
Free-spirited Lexi Luparell is shocked to encounter the wolf she’d denied when they were teens. Now she must face her guilt for the cruel way she spurned him, make amends, and admit the truth. Jake was right—they’re meant to mate.
Lexi would love to explore the mate concept and her overwhelming attraction to virile, alpha wolf Jake, but Jake insists he dates only human women now. When her life is threatened, he may have to rethink his position and do whatever it takes to claim his one true mate.
Excerpt:
A billion butterflies battered Lexi’s stomach. She shifted her attention from Ross to the piano. Sure enough, the music had stopped, and Jake faced her from his seat on the bench. Man oh man, the heavy stare from those sky blue eyes sent shivers skittering down her spine. His gaze held the same intensity she remembered from him as a kid, as if he saw into the heart of people, exposing their deepest secrets. It had driven her crazy back then, and she’d spent much time teasing him, pulling his hair, trying to distract him from being so serious all of the damn time. They were teenagers—partying was supposed to be their sole focus.
With his ice-blue stare locked on her, Jake rose to his feet, all taut muscle and predatory power. His energy swept over her like a tsunami..

JASMINE MOON
Last but not least, here’s the third book in the Luparell trio. Our lovebirds from the first book are getting married and older brother Evan has his hands full with the feisty she-wolf in charge of the wedding attire…
About the book:
Tech mogul and workaholic wolf Evan Luparell has little time for distractions but takes a break for his brother’s wedding in South Dakota. When asked to escort another wedding attendee from the airport to Los Lobos, he agrees. Then he meets the curvy spitfire, and she ignores him.
Designer and wolf Mina Carver didn’t mean to be rude to the handsome, glowering man claiming to be her ride, but she was busy working. Unexpected mating energy sparks between them, but still—should she dismiss, or kiss him?
Kisses win and they agree upon a no-strings fling. But with each wedding activity throwing them together, and their powerful chemistry and mate compatibility complicating matters, can two workaholics truly have their fun then walk away?
Excerpt:
[…]
He took a deep fortifying breath and froze. Airport smells assailed his senses—the sharp tang of bleach and lemon-scented cleaners, […] coffee, donuts, fried fast food, and under it all, the distinct musk of wolf.
Female wolf.
She smelled d*** good. His wolf perked up, and his legs propelled him toward the empty baggage claim, where one bright-pink suitcase covered in Hello Kitty stickers sat, unclaimed, on the unmoving L-shaped conveyor belt. Her scent, stronger here, socked his gut, and his gaze shot to the corner.
