For most women, the day before their wedding is the happiest of their lives. Such was the case with Miranda Slate. Suddenly, however, she finds herself curled into a ball on the floor, experiencing the worst pain of her life. Quite the contrast. Miranda's grandmother unlocks the secret for her. Because of this, Miranda knows she cannot marry Hadden McNeil, as she fears the truth may destroy him. What will she tell Hadden in order to break their engagement?

While contemplating what to do about Miranda, her grandmother rushes to Hadden's office to request his help, as he is a doctor, and she feels he can aid Miranda. What will Hadden do when he sees the state Miranda's in? Shock, disbelief and more hit Hadden as he sees Miranda change. It is a medical impossibility, isn't it? Whatever the case, Hadden is not going to give up. He loves Miranda too much to lose her to this, even if he doesn't understand it.

Miranda is half shape shifter (les loupes-garous) and half human. Will her human side help her to control the bloodlust common to werewolves? Would it be impossible if a stranger, a male werewolf who believes that Miranda is the key to peace among his clan, that she is his mate, finds a way to control her? What will Miranda do when she meets this male werewolf for the first time?

When I first read that Miranda broke off with Hadden, I thought that might be the last we saw of him. I am quite pleased that Hadden's love for Miranda was one of the most powerful I've read in a long while. Add to this Miranda's conflicting emotions for Hadden and one of her "own" kind, and this book will intrigue you from page one.

Pick up Moonlight Legacy and you will read a powerful romance that even the paranormal couldn't destroy.

Jewel Dartt's First Love, Last Love gets off to a gripping start and holds your attention to the last page.

When Kat Warner is assaulted, her savior is her childhood friend Brendon Morgan, who has just returned home to Missouri after attending medical school back East. Kat can't deny to herself the feelings she has for handsome Brendon. They also both share a love for medicine and healing others. So when he asks her to accompany him to a barn dance, she accepts.

Two years ago, Kat had been a tomboyish girl, but now she is a beautiful young woman. Brendon knows he is attracted to her, and suspects she feels the same way. But could he risk losing her, or their friendship?

Brendon escorts an intoxicated Kat home from the dance. When she goes to sleep that night, she has a nightmare of being trapped in a fire. The next day, her nightmare becomes reality when she is inside a barn and someone sets it ablaze. Brendon saves Kat's life and takes her back to his house to tend to her. He realizes that the fire was no accident, and he could've lost her, forever. Who could want his Kat dead? Could it be the man who had assaulted her? But why?

Some one is out to get revenge on Brendon and make him suffer greatly for what happened in the past.

As suspects are drawn up, and then ruled out, Kat continues to be stalked by a black hooded man. Brendon will stop at nothing to risk losing the woman he loves.

First Love, Last Love is a passionate romance that will have readers grinning one minute, and the next on the edge of their seat, holding their breath in anticipation. Just when we think the story is going one way, Ms. Dartt further displays her charming writing style to mix with plot twists and turns. A heartwarming read about unforgettable characters. This book is recommended.
