Product Description
Book 3 in The Hunters series Byron made a promise to his old friend, to take care of the Inherent's daughter. The child has grown up to be an amazing woman. Byron never expected her to take on the duties of helping to run his territory, and he certainly never expected to ache with desire for her. The most amazing thing of all happens when, feeling guilty, he tries to send her away. That night, Byron finds Kit in his bed. Book 4 in The Hunters series Seven years have passed since an unknown enemy made an attempt on their lives. It has been even longer since Lori gave her heart to the dark, brooding Hunter who serves at his Master's side. She has held an iron grip on the emotions that rage as other women lie beside him. Though the need for her burns in his very soul, Jonathan, Hunter of the Council, refuses to accept Lori, the enclave's Healer. Feeling he does not deserve her, he fears the darkness in his being will destroy them both. When Jonathan is injured, they are thrown together. She is touching him, tempting him. Jonathan will have to acknowledge that what he sees is not always what is. If he cannot, he will lose everything. The battles are beginning, the enemy has returned. To aid their cause, they seek to enslave the dark soul and devastating strength of a powerful werewolf. Evil is stalking Jonathan.

Byron & Kit:
Byron has known Kit since she was a small child. As her father lay dying, he promised him that he would look after his daughter as if she was his own. Years have passed and now Kit is all grown up, and one of the strongest women he has ever known. She stands by his side (yet not by his side), helping him run his territory. The "child" thinks she is in love with him but Byron knows this cannot be true...remembering his promise to her father he pushes her away. Will he realise what he has to lose before he pushes her too far?
Jonathan & Lori:
Jonathan wanted Lori at first sight - that was seven years ago. However, she is far too innocent for someone like him so he denies his need for a mate. Lori has loved him just as long and is hurt by his rejection of her...
Like her sister, Sarel, Lori is a witch, but unlike her sister, she is a healer and not a Warrior. As dark forces gather and mark Jonathan as a target, Jonathan starts seeing Lori for what she is, how special she is and what she means to him. And when Lori makes the ultimate sacrifice, proving just how powerful she actually is, he will finally understand how much he means to her...
Byron & Kit's story is a short but sweet taste of the Hunters, one that was very enjoyable. Jonathan and Lori's journey is more bittersweet, filled with complex layers and emotions. We are given deeper glimpses into the personalities of many characters, and hints of what is to come in future stories. You will find yourself moved to tears of sadness as well as happiness by the fate of these courageous and loyal beings.
Shiloh Walker has created a unique and intriguing world of magic, sensuality, and blood that is fierce and binding. Each story will leave you wanting more. Her writing keeps getting better with added dimensions and layers that keep you guessing.
This book can stand-alone, however, you will get far more enjoyment out of it if you read the Books 1 and 2 first which are in The Hungers: The Beginning.

Sizzling, sexy Hunter Magick
27 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
Byron & Kit:
Byron has known Kit since she was a small child, when he made a promise to take care of her as his own when her father died. Now she's grown up, and one of the strongest women he's ever known, standing by his side and helping him run his territory. She's also convinced they belong together. Of course Byron is stubborn. He thinks of his promise to Kit's father and refuses to get near her, even threatens to send her away. But if Byron sends her away, Kit is not coming back.....
Jonathan & Lori:
Jonathan has wanted Lori for the last seven years, since he first saw her. But he believes she's way too innocent for someone who's seen what he's seen, done what he's done. Yet Lori loves him, has been in love with him for as long as she's known him, and his rejection of her hurts. Lori is a witch, but unlike her sister, Sarel, she is a Healer, not a Warrior. Only she can't seem to heal what's in Jonathan's heart. Now Jonathan is marked by an old evil that wants to destroy them all. Someone has taken someone precious away from Jonathan, who must make a choice. He's never really seen Lori for what she is, has always denied his need for a mate, but now he begins to realize just how special she is, and how much she means to him. And when Lori makes the ultimate sacrifice, proving just how powerful she actually is, he'll finally understand how much he means to her....
Byron's & Kit's story is a short but sweet taste of the Hunters, one that was very enjoyable. Jonathan's and Lori's journey is more bittersweet, filled with complex layers and emotions. We are given deeper glimpses into the personalities of many characters, and hints of what is to come in future stories. You'll find yourself moved to tears of sadness as well as happiness by the fate of these courageous and loyal beings. Being a Hunter is not always a happy life - it's hard and violent and bloody, but there's hope and love and honor to sustain them. Each story will leave you wanting more. Shiloh Walker has created a unique and intriguing world of magick, sensuality, and blood that is fierce and binding. Her writing keeps getting better and better, with added dimensions that keep you guessing as to what she'll think up next. Enjoy the ride.

hot hot hot!!

Format:Paperback
If you love to read vampire erotica this series is a must. I like the way the author tells the story of the vampire and his mate. I am a reader of erotica and this book is a good read. I hope that she continues this story line. I will be the first in line to buy the next book she writes in this series and the bonus is you get two books in one binder.

Paranormal erotica not at its best...
5 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Hunters Interlude (2nd published book of the series by Ellora's Cave)
contains 2 stories of paranormal erotica with sexplicit scenes, anal sex
and threesome,those of Byron and Kit, and Jonathan and Lori.
***SPOILERS AHEAD***
Byron and Kit (40 pages)
"He kept waiting for her to leave him.
That was what he needed her to do.
He didn't have the strength to make her leave.
And she was so f***ing stubborn."
And that is the resume of their story. Kit, an Inherent (werewolf that
can switch by choice) and daughter of Byron's best friend became Byron's
ward after her father's death. She stayed in the vampire's enclave from a
very early age, growing and coming to her powers, becoming his second in
command and eventually she fell in love with him. Byron (a vampire and the
youngest Hunter and Master to run his own territory) secretly yearned for
Kit for years but tried to keep her in a distance and not get involved with
her since she was his ward due to a promise he gave to her dying father to
look after her.
Push comes to shove when Byron decides to send Kit away in France for her to
learn more about her mother's people in an attempt to distance himself and
cool down his raging lust. Kit gets the wrong message out of this and decides
to leave him for good since he denies them their future together as a couple.
Byron changes his mind and comes after her.
Short story with lots of sexual heat between the couple that started well and
ended rather anticlimactically. The description of the scenes is quite foggy
and the timeline of the plot is unclear, as if the editing butchered entire
bridge scenes that could help the reader understand what's going on and left
the story completely sex-centered.
Guess in an erotica short story what more could one possibly want?
Jonathan and Lori, 176 pages.
Lori, a red-haired Healer witch and sister to Sarel (who we saw in the first
book of Hunters published by Ellora's Cave) is in love with Jonathan (a
werewolf that can switch by choice) ever since she stepped foot in Eli's
enclave in a tender age. Jonathan wants her but fears more the darkness inside
him. After an attack against him by a cult called "The Scythe", the lust and
emotions of the two come out in the open. Lori doesn't want to settle just for
sex with Jonathan and he doesn't want to offer her more.When 12 year old Erika,
Jonathan's ward, gets kidnapped by the Scythe, Lori and Jonathan go after them.
During their road trip both change their minds about what they want from each
other, as Jonathan decides to give them a chance and Lori furious decides she
doesn't want him anymore. The Scythe is being confronted and Eli and Sarel come
to the couple's aid.
I was ok with the fact that Byron and Kit's short story was all about sex
despite the cons in the writing, since this is erotica we're talking about.
One expects to get a sex-oriented story and leave it at that. The fact though
that the author wanted to make Lori and Jonathan's, a story with an actual plot
besides the sex scenes, came with a few major problems, and that's why I have
to mention that as a paranormal story, it has its flaws. Flaws such as
superficial two-dimensional characters that kept switching the narrator's POV
making it all the more confusing to identify who speaks every time and under
whose perspective the reader gets to experience each scene. Crucial characters
that had to play a part in the plot were introduced too late, following the
tradition of the general confusion. Many times I had to stop reading mid-scene
to understand what was going on. The development of the story story was
fractured and insufficient and the villain went down too easily.
Overall, I got the impression that apart from the writing, Ellora's Cave
publishing didn't pay much attention to these stories in terms of syntax,
grammar, editing and decent publishing in order to bring out the best elements
of SW's writing. And that can be well identified if someone gets to read SW's
Hunters series that were later published by Berkley Heat with much more
improved and satisfying results.
