MATING CLAIRE [Erotic Romance Paranormal Vampires/Werewolves] Following the trail of a serial killer and a demon, Claire Hallowell arrives in Wilsonville, SC. As difficult as her case is, it is the small town police chief with his easy smiles and blatant sexuality that threatens Claire's highly structured world. Arrogant and cocky, Derek Jacob knows his mate when he meets her. As the Alpha of the Narian Pack, Derek is not about to let anything stop him from claiming Claire. Claire might fight it, but there is no denying the instantaneous heat between them. Sex comes easy while trust comes harder for the couple with secrets to hide. Follow Claire and Derek's journey to overcome the obsessive attention of a demon and killer to find love. *** "I really enjoyed writing a female lead that has a problem and solves the problem herself. Derek is a great character because he's macho without attempting to overwhelm Claire. I love the way these two characters interact with each other. That was the best part of writing this book." ~ Jenny ~ *** Joyfully Recommended: "Mating Claire is a strong, well-plotted, totally fun and sexy paranormal romance. Readers will find it difficult to put down! Alpha wolf Derek is domineering, possessive and tender (yum) while Claire is tough, smart and somewhat naive about romance and true love. Also, the cast of secondary characters enriches the story and makes Mating Claire a more realistic paranormal tale... Mating Claire is a thoroughly enjoyable and sizzling story from start to finish. Therefore I Joyfully Recommend Mating Claire!" --Lisa, Joyfully Reviewed *** 5 Cups: 2008 Coffee Time Reviewer's Recommend Award: "Ms. Penn uses suspense, humor, raunchy sex, action, and adventure to grab the reader in this hot tale of paranormal fantasy. Claire is an independent character who is strong and capable of handling any alpha male character. Derek is a no nonsense dominant male without being overwhelming. The first line in Mating Claire is hilarious, and I was riveted from there. The author uses wonderfully vivid words to describe everything from the office, the forest, the passionate encounters. Paranormal stories usually have me jumping for joy to read, but this novel had me excited to spread the word about the sensational book I read. Readers, pay attention because here is a tale fit for any book lover. Spectacular read! CAUTION: This book contains graphic sex scenes and passionate encounters. Not for the weak hearted." --Danielle, Coffee Time Romance *** 5 Stars: "Demon, werewolf, serial killer. Mating Claire is a very sensual book. The tension between Derek and Claire is undeniable; the reader can feel it. There are twists and turns throughout the plot that will keep the reader eagerly turning pages." --Debra Gaynor, Review Your Book

4.5 Blue Ribbons: "Mating Claire: Sea Island Wolves 1 was a great read, knowing that it-s just the beginning of a series makes it even better. I love it when I get to meet new characters and get new glimpses into their lives with each new adventure they take. Ms. Penn is a new author to me and after reading this book I will definitely try to keep up with the series." --Ladybird Robi, Romance Junkies

Customer Reviews

Werewolf Love!!!
Claire is undercover working on a murder case posing as the Sheriff's assistant. Derek (the sheriff and wolf pack leader) immediately knows this is his mate so the story is about him fighting to win her and work through their miscalculations about each other...and also solve a murder mystery. The feelings are intense and mutual. But there are many obstacles and problems that pop up and stand in their way of ultimately coming together.

HOWEVER, none of that stands in the way of the HOT HOT HOT attraction and steamy encounters they have together. Derek is extremely alpha male; incredibly protective and possessive of Claire. It just adds to his extreme sexiness. Lots of interesting secondary characters as well. Some supernatural as well as human...


Of course in the end Love conquers all and things fall in to place as they should. This is a wonderfully written book. Lots of action, Love, sex, intrigue, humor, and LOADS of "werewolf love". I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Lots of fun elements to the story. I want a werewolf of my own now!! Well done JP!!

Fire the editor!
I'd love to give this book 4 stars. However, ignoring or jumping past the errors in this book is just too irritating, sometimes unintentionally humorous! A disastrous mood breaker. The plots are mostly fascinating and would be fun to read except for the many, many, many errors. Every book deserves to be edited, especially at the prices that Siren Publishing charges. Where are the editors? Send the books on CD to someone to correct before printing. OR SOMETHING!!!! Here are a few of the thousands of errors in this book:

severed the "bounds" instead of bonds
her breath caught at the "site" of his erection
dozens of hyphenated words that should stand alone
possessive words have no * 's * at the end: Claire brush instead of Claire's brush
Derek often wears "slack" instead of slacks
The list goes on and on. . . . truly dozens per page

Mating Claire- A Joyfully Recommended Title
On the trail of a serial killer and a demon, Claire Hallowell, at one time with the FBI and now with Masters of Cerberus, has taken the false identity of Dorothy Walker, the assistant to Police Chief Derek Jacob in a backwater South Carolina town.

Alpha wolf to the Narian clan now, Derek had found a mate when he was just a young man. Someone murdered Kathleen and their unborn child and has never been found.

Derek had been out of town, but once he meets Claire/Dorothy he is captivated by his new curvy, sexy assistant and his second chance at happiness because she is his mate. As skillful as she is, Claire is `outed' by Derek whose persistence knows no bounds in his quest to have Claire as his mate. Meanwhile, Claire is trying to protect Derek from the demon Agakiar who considers Claire his own property. Danger seems to be everywhere they turn. Do they dare risk everything for a future together, for love?

Mating Claire is a strong, well-plotted, totally fun and sexy paranormal romance. Readers will find it difficult to put down! Alpha wolf Derek is domineering, possessive and tender (yum) while Claire is tough, smart and somewhat naïve about romance and true love. Also, the cast of secondary characters enriches the story and makes Mating Claire a more realistic paranormal tale. The only glitch is that it could use better proof reading, though this did not detract from the tale. Mating Claire is a thoroughly enjoyable and sizzling story from start to finish. Therefore I Joyfully Recommend Mating Claire!
