Publisher's summary

There's nothing more dangerous than forbidden love.

She-wolf Summer Smith is desperate to make up for a past she can't deny - and the best way to accomplish that is to take on a deadly mission for her new pack. She'll sacrifice anything to clear her name and protect the people she loves. With the future of shifters across the Southwest resting in her hands, it's the worst possible time to fall in love - with a bear, no less.

Burly bear shifter Drew Kovacs hasn't traveled to the Southwest to look for trouble, and he sure isn't looking for love. But the second he lays eyes on the she-wolf with a mesmerizing smile and haunted eyes, he knows she's the one. There's just one problem - Summer is about to plunge head-first into an undercover mission into a den of enemy wolves, and he sure as hell won't let her go alone. But he can't show up and blow her undercover mission, either. Unless....

Behind the doors of the Blue Moon Saloon, alpha shifters confront their darkest fears and their deepest desires. This book is a complete standalone. Story - no cliffhangers!

A paranormal romance with adult content. The perfect listen for fans of strong heroines, alpha heroes, werewolves, werebears, shapeshifters, smoking-hot cowboys, romantic westerns, paranormal suspense, action-adventure romance, and fantasy romance!

Blue moon salon

Love the audio performance of this series. Another fun continuation of the blue moon theme yet you wouldn’t need to listen to the rest to follow along. Steam, suspense and love this story has it all.

Another great story

Anna Lowe and Kelsey Osborne are a winning combination and never fail to provide a delightful and entertaining story.

She feels unworthy of his love

Anna has done it again with this installment of Blue Moon Saloon and its sexy shifters. Although the books in this series follow each other, you will have no problem reading it as a standalone. I would advise you to read them all though, cos they are all that good! Kelsey brings her unique voice to another of Anna's books, making it touch your heart and lift your spirits.

If you read the last installment then you met Summer. She is a wolf shifter that got into bad company and didn't realize it until it was almost too late. Now she is staying with the shifters that rescued her, and on top of that she has found her fated mate in Drew, a bear shifter and cousin of the clan's leader. If only she didn't feel so unworthy of his love.
When the clan decides they need a spy to find out if the Blue Blood purist group is really done for, Summer knows it is her chance to prove herself to Drew and the others. She bravely volunteers to put herself back into the midst of the pack that spawned the Blue Bloods.

I received a copy of this audio book from the author and voluntarily wrote this review.

Good narration and enjoyable.

Good narration and enjoyable to listen to the audible book but I did find some of the actions sillier when listening. The ending seemed overlong and drawn out. I preferred reading this book over the audible version.
Being undercover and then risking it all by meeting when they should have been concentrating on getting information. No matter what destiny was whispering.
Nice to refresh my memory and listen to the ending of the Blue Blood monsters.
Was very brave doing what she did.
BOOK REVIEW
Whilst Blue Moon Saloon series started as a spin off from Wolves of Twin Moon ranch it has earned its own accolades as a series. The characters we are meeting and the stories we are getting have enhanced Ms Lowes author status.
In this 5th book it is poor Summers turn to find happiness. Summer belonged to a delusional cultish pack who, whilst preaching PURITY for shifters (as in no mixed shifter pairs) didn't believe Fate had it right in choosing mates. They were the lowest of the low as they killed for the enjoyment, even children were not safe. Seems Fate choosing your mate was not good enough for them.
Drew, we did not really know prior to this book but he turned out to be not only the biggest sweetie but also one of the biggest, fiercest bears we have met. Loved the scene at the end when Drew turned up to save Summer and the cavalry arrived.
So glad to have the last of the Blue Bloods killed, really was no loss to the gene pool and maybe now we can have more happiness for our mixed clan.
This is my honest review of this book.

amazing duo

anna and kelsey have hit it again.. so amazing and fun.. so sexy and action packed.. i loved it all.. these two together make me so happy.. i love annas writing and story and kelsey just brings it to life and makes me happy i hear it. perfect!

Summer and Drew

This book was so good! Before I knew it, it was ending. When Drew sees Summer, he knows right away that she is his mate (she can feel it too). Summer used to be part of the rogues who want purity (no wolf/bear mating only wolf/wolf) although she did not agree with them. Summer escaped to Blue Moon Saloon where she is accepted. Soren’s pack needed someone to infiltrate the rogue den and Summer volunteers much to Drew’s horror. Summer would not look suspicious since she used to be one of them. As with Ms. Lowe’s other books, the bad guys are really bad and this book has a bad woman, Gretchen. She made you want to b!tch-slap her most of the time. Soren receives an anonymous message asking for help at the wolf’s den. No one knows who it is from and they were afraid it might be a set up. Drew goes on that assignment. Of course, Drew and Summer meet up for good times during the fight for the new alpha. I like when Summer drugged Met (one of the villians who wanted to take her as his mate), and she left to meet Drew. While he was drugged, she should have bashed in his head. He was horrible!

This book kept me guessing who sent the message for help. It was interesting to find out who sent it. There was a wonderful ending to this book and I highly recommend reading the whole series.

Ms. Lowe and Kelsey Osborne make a great team. Between Ms. Lowe’s writing and Kelsey’s narration, the book is a winner. I received this free copy audiobook and have voluntarily left this review.

I love this series.

Lovely story about a strong woman and her struggles with past transgressions. Will she find herself deserving of love and happiness.

Great series! Fun listen! Fully entertaining!

Osborne always gives a solid performance. Clear narration with a good quality for the audio. Recommend listening!

Another awesome story from Anna Lowe! She does a really good job of creating an interesting story with passion and great characters. Deception can be read as a standalone, but it does feature characters from previous books, so you may want to read them first; plus they are great too, so no hardship there! In Deception, Summer, a wolf shifter, is dealing with some guilt from unintentionally helping out some bad guys, so she's trying to prove herself to the pack she is staying with. Drew, a bear shifter, has ties to the pack Summer is trying to impress, and feels a connection with Summer, but before Summer and Drew can really bond, Summer is tasked with going into a dangerous situation to discover important information. Summer and Drew have some hot times! Drew is beyond adorable, and I love how sweet he is! I love the bear shifter characteristics! They are too cute! Summer and Drew have some sexy times in the wild, which were super steamy! I find all of Anna Lowe's books entertaining, and Deception didn't disappoint! It had some mystery, which added some nice suspense, and there's the continuing storyline of shifter purity, which I enjoy seeing how that story plays out, and there's a bit of action too. Great shifter series!

Deception

Perfection! I love everything about the Blue Moon Saloon and this book is the icing on the cake. Anna Lowe is quickly becoming my favorite shifter author. If you like shifter books then this is the one for you!

Summer and Drew'

This is Summer and Drew's story and to get the most from it, I feel that you should definitely have read or listened to the preceding books to understand why Summer felt she had to undertake this dangerous mission.

We met Summer, a wolf shifter, towards the end of Salvation, Anna and Todd's story, she was with the Blue Bloods having been an unwitting helper in their evil scheme to rid the world of any shifters whose blood wasn't pure!

Drew Kovacs, a bear shifter, has travelled to the Southwest answering the call for help from his cousin Sorin, the Alpha of the Blue Moon Clan. On arrival he meets Summer and is instantly drawn to her, his bear recognizing that she is his fated mate. But before they can get too serious Summer is asked to undertake a dangerous mission. She must go back to the Blue Blood Pack to ascertain if the danger they pose is over with the death of the White Brothers, or if other members of that pack intend to carry on with their murderous rampage.

Drew was against the plan, he couldn't believe his cousin would send his mate into danger to get information. She might be a wolf, but she wasn't a Blue blood, and she didn't believe in their values. But Summer felt that this wonderful second chance she'd been given by the Blue Moon Clan was something she had to earn, so when the chance came to go and spy on her old pack she volunteered to go. She was willing to do anything to protect her mate and her new clan.

What she didn't expect to happen when she returned to her old pack was to attract the interest of the would be new Alpha Thomas. Could he be trusted, was he there to clean house or to carry on the old ways? She also catches the eye of Mett, the son of the old Alpha who believes their cause is righteous and intends to carry on his father's work.

There is so much more I could tell you but that would involve too many spoilers, so I'm not going to tell you any more. What I will say is that this story did not disappoint. The characters are wonderfully well drawn with an incredible palpable chemistry between them, their story has a lot of angst, drama and action but most importantly, as with all of Anna Lowe's stories we have the deep and abiding love between mates. The resolution of this exciting tale brought together again many old friends from the Twin Moon Pack.

The narration of this book is, once again, performed by the incredibly talented Kelsey Osborne who produces another stellar performance she and Anna make an incredible team.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.
