Two of my dear friends were launch authors for Carina Press this month. I’ve known Dee Tenorio for a little longer than I’ve known Shannon and Dee and I share a responsibility in that we’re both Hosts for eHarlequin.com. I’ve met Dee in person several times and have been known to make her fall of beds with my peals of laughter. All of that aside, it’s again been my pleasure to watch her blossom and grow into the writer she is. Dee also knows that if I don’t like something she writes, I’m not afraid to tell her and I expect the same from her. We might not always like it, but we respect it and it works for us. 
Dee’s latest book is available from Carina Press. This is also where I tell you that I’m usually not a huge fan of anything paranormal or um, scary. I’m a wimp to the 100th degree. I still have nightmares about the movie The Ring and can still see the out-of-body-experience I had crab-crawling up the back of my couch full on screaming. I scared my fiance’ more than the movie did and I refused to go to sleep that night. But before I tell you why I LOVED this book enough to stay up until after 2 am, let me share the official cover and blurb with you.
Tempting the Enemy by Dee Tenorio
Detective Pale Rysen, an Alpha, is determined to secretly rebuild the Wolf packs from the ashes of genocide. When a killer starts picking off young females looking for sanctuary, it’s his job to protect them. Forced to work with a hated enemy, he fears his cover will be blown.
Jade-Scarlet’s membership in the powerful Order of the Sibile has always been controversial. A half-wolf, Jade’s unstable psychic powers are a disappointment to her mercenary handlers. So when the Oracle commands her to work with Pale, Jade must prove herself…even if it means challenging the enigmatic shifter.
Yet Pale triggers more than her curiosity. He sends her into Heat, and the intense sexual attraction could mean losing control of her gifts—something she can’t allow. As the number of victims rises, so does the danger. A murderous darkness wants them both dead. But even if they stop the killer, how long can they fight each other.

First, I’ll say that this book had my heart thumping as I furiously ( well as furiously as the Sony would allow ) flipped the pages. I started this at around 11 pm and finally, begrudgingly put it down after 2 am when my eyes would take no more. I had strange dreams of wolves and of colors…you’ll have to read the book to find out why….I had to finish this book today. I had to know what happened and more importantly how these two people could get their HEA. This book rocked! It’s packed full of adrenaline, suspense, Alpha-ness, romance and well…chair wiggling sexual tension. Dee Tenorio has outdone herself. I only have one question for her: Will she be doing another book like this?
