After spending his life hunting rogue werewolves, Trey Williams is looking forward to a quiet retirement in Alabama. But between hunting for the local outlaw wolf and claiming his newfound mate, Tara Burke, that peace doesn’t last long. Can he find the mysterious wolf before it endangers his new mate?

Tara knows all about werewolves and she doesn’t want one, thank you very much, but there’s no denying the heat that flares between her and Trey. Can she use her gift for witchcraft to break the bond between them? And does she really want to?

Trey threw the fax onto his desk in a fit of frustration and dragged a hand over his eyes. Bradley Jones did not exist. He had no driver's license, no birth certificate, no social security number, and no visible means of support. There was no record of him until he'd come to this town in 1991. Oddly, that happened to be the same year that Tara had last seen her grandfather.

He raised his gaze to the ceiling, wondering if it was too soon to wake her. The sun was not yet up, and he'd made love to her just a couple of hours ago. And at what point had he begun to think he was making love to her and not fucking her? He snarled. A question for another time. Other issues pressed on him now. Who was Jones? Who was her grandfather? How to make her stay?

He needed a good run. Eric was whittling on the front porch, so it was safe enough to go out for a little while. He dropped his clothes by the desk and shifted on the way to the door. Pausing at the bottom of the stairs, the wolf lifted his snout to catch its mate's scent, and turned toward her.

Hoping to find her awake, he lightly padded through the open door. She was curled on her side facing him, and lazily opened her eyes. Without stirring, she held out a hand in invitation. In two leaps he was snuggling up beside her. She buried her nose in the fur at his nape and wrapped her arms around him with a contented sigh.

He shifted into human form and rolled her over, settling between her legs, her morning softness calling to him.

"Hey, I liked my wolf," she said drowsily. "He was warm and cuddly."

"Cuddly?" he asked in mock outrage, sliding into her. "Wolves are not cuddly."

She smirked. "Mine is."

The smirk became a groan of pleasure when he lifted her legs over his shoulders and thrust deep.

"Hmm," he answered, nibbling her neck. "Accept the man, keep the wolf."

"After reading the first book in the Lunar Mates series, Under Cover of the Moon, I anxiously awaited the release of Bad Moon Rising. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen sparks fly like the ones between Tara and Trey. From the very first touch, their chemistry exploded into such raw sensuality that I had to stop reading a couple times just to check my pulse! Billy Blanks has got nothing on Loribelle Hunt – I’ll take a douse of Trey Bo over Tae Bo any day. Trey’s strength coupled with his tenderness toward Tara had me so wet that my eyes started to water which I can’t say happens too often. I’ve never wanted to be a chocolate éclair so much in my life and can’t wait to read Jackson and Summer’s story!"

"Bad Moon Rising is the second installment in the Lunar Mates series by Loribelle Hunt. After having read the first installment, Under Cover of the Moon, this reader was itching to grab the second story and definitely not disappointed that she did. Tara is a spunky character that readers will wish was their friend. Trey is a take-charge, driven man that goes after what he wants, fighting for it along the way, and determined never to give up until he has what he wants. This reader just loved him. The suspenseful plot that started in Darius and Meg's story is continued in this one, so I would recommend reading this series in order. However, I assure you that readers won't want to miss any of them anyway. This reader’s only dilemma is the waiting for the next installment and trying to decide if it was hotter in Tara's kitchen or bedroom. Loribelle Hunt has done a fabulous job once again. 5 Angels!"

"BAD MOON RISING is the second in the Lunar Mates series, and it picks up right where the first book left off. While the story could be appreciated by readers who haven’t yet read the first in the series, I would still highly recommend that you read UNDER COVER OF THE MOON first to get the most enjoyment. Loribelle Hunt writes a great werewolf tale and luckily for us she’s not done yet, there are two more books in the Lunar Mates series in the works. If you’re in need of a good read, be sure to stop by Cobblestone Press and get your copy of BAD MOON RISING today."

"BAD MOON RISING is the second book in the LUNAR MATES series and gives readers a deeper look into the werewolves. Trey is one determined man and used to getting what he wants. What he wants is Tara and he will do whatever it takes to make her his. His dominant attitude will send chills down your spine and shivers through your body. Tara tries to fight the attraction she feels for Trey, but it isn’t long before she gives in. Love scenes are exciting and will have readers mesmerized by the intensity and heat. Loribelle Hunt has done a marvelous job of continuing the LUNAR MATES series and I can’t wait until the next installment is released."
