REVIEWS Sofia's Lobo - Lauren Blades Overall rating: 5 HEARTS! Sofia Tijerina is the host of the television show This Old Haunted House and she's returned to her old stomping grounds of Juarez, Mexico. She hopes to capture the area's local legend, La Llorona, on film for her show. While it's a heart-breaking case that took place only a few years ago, it would be fabulous for her ratings. The ghost of a woman who allegedly murdered her children for a lover, then killed herself when he spurned her, supposedly appears each year on the same night -- the anniversary of the deaths.
The only thing that could hinder Sofia in her efforts to document this spirit is Antonio Valdes, the lover she left behind in Juarez six years before. She loved Antonio and had him to thank for her career in a way. He was a werewolf, and her first experience in the secret world of the paranormal. Without him, she might never have went after her position on a ghost hunting television program. But now seeing him again brings old wounds to the surface, especially when he's dead set on seducing her. Even more troubling, Sofia discovers a chilling connection between Antonio and the ghost she's there to film. Could Antonio have anything to do with the horrible events of the night the woman and her children died?
Sofia's Lobo promises romance and suspense -- and it delivers. I was absorbed by this tale of lovers reunited beneath the shadow of a horrible night. The characters really came to life for me and the author fleshed them out with so much emotion that I wasn't able to set the story aside until I finished. Everything about Ms. Blades' tale rang true from the snappy dialogue to the depiction of a non-white couple without all the annoying cliches. The sensual scenes were well written and perfectly suited to the two main characters whose genuine love and desire for each other never truly diminished. Equally impressive was the surrounding story of the local ghost and the way the author tied it to her characters in a meaningful way. The resolution of the story was incredibly satisfying and had me smiling through tears. This story and this new author are a wonderful addition to Red Sage and I'll be anxiously looking for more stories from Ms. Blades. ~~Cameron Foster - THE ROMANCE STUDIO
5 STARS! Sofia's Lobo by Lauren Blades
Sofia hosts a TV show about real life supernatural events called This Old Haunted House. She is back in Juarez, Mexico because of La Llorana, the story of the crying woman of the Rio Grande. The ghost of Maria Suareza is seen walking along the bridge looking in vain for her lost children who it is said, she allegedly murdered for a lover who rejected her when she told him what she had done. In despair she threw herself into the river where she drowned. Sophia hopes to find out exactly who the apparition is and to capture it on film if possible. She runs into Antonio Valdes who had been her lover six years ago. He is a werewolf, and she has him to thank for her success in television. Until her affair with him, she hadn't believed in anything paranormal. He is set on seducing her and wants her back in his life. She is afraid because of the secrets that he kept hidden from her. Sofia while at the bridge experiences a paranormal phenomenon. She sees the ghostly figure of Maria Suareza and she watches while another apparition of a tall man with dark hair appears next to Maria. Who is he? Was he the lover who'd rejected her? Why is he there? Sofia soon discovers a connection between Antonio and the female ghost. Could Antonio be the man responsible for Maria’s death, and the death of her three children? Lauren Blades writes a beautiful story of romance, mystery, and shape shifter werewolves. I was so caught up in the story that I had to finish it. You are drawn into the plot where the characters are truly in love, and where a ghost is tied in with the tale. This is a sad story, but ends in a satisfying and happy way. I truly recommend Sofia’s Lobo to readers that enjoy reading a good ghost story. ~~~Loretta - Manic Readers Review
To My Reader I can't begin to express how thrilled I am to share Sofia and Antonio's story with you. He's a sexy werewolf, she's a ghost hunter and television personality. Together they're steaming up the Rio Grande as they try to unravel the mystery of La Llorona. Enjoy!
EXCERPT FROM SOPHIA'S LOBO Little was said until the door to Sofia’s hotel room quietly closed. She pulled her purse from her shoulder and tossed it into the chair by the door. All the while she could feel Antonio’s gaze on her. She could feel the intensity of his need and it had her body going up in flames like it hadn’t for six years.
Only his touch, his caress, could put her in such a burning state of arousal.
Antonio’s expression was predatory, heavy with desire as his eyes glittered with intent. His thick erection strained the front of his slacks and she could feel the strength of his lust from across the room.
Sofia’s breasts were swollen and sensitive, pressing against the confinement of her sports bra. Her nipples rasped against the thin material, sending hot pangs of need racing through her nerve end¬ings straight down to her throbbing clit. And that engorged little bundle of nerves demanded relief that only he could give her.
“We could have gone back to your place,” she pointed out, standing by the chair. She didn’t move. She couldn’t move. The anticipation of his claiming was too intense.
“Could have.” His heated gaze raked over her breasts and he took a step closer, his expression dark and hungry. “I want to know where you’re staying. I want to know where to find you.”
“Why?” Her body began to tremble in desire and trepidation when he took another step closer. “You said one night, Antonio, and that’s all I agreed to.”
His eyes became wild beneath his thick black lashes. With a single smooth motion he pulled at his tie to loosen it, pulling it free a second later. His fingers made quick work of the shirt buttons running along his chest. The glimpse of his muscular chest made her quiver with the realization of what was about to happen.
“You knew better than that, mi amor.” He stopped moving and the dangerous stillness of his body was impossible to ignore. “You agreed to leave with me but you know it won’t end in the morning. I don’t think either of us will be able to walk away after tonight.”
