DAMNATION
Voted BEST SHIFTER BOOK 2016 by Reality Bites Magazine!
He hasn’t forgotten her, and she sure hasn’t forgiven him.
Jessica Macks is a she-wolf on the run from a band of murderous rogues. When she finds a job at a shifter bar, it seems like a safe haven from her hunted life on the road. But the minute she walks through the swinging doors of the Blue Moon Saloon and comes face-to-face with the man she once loved, she’s tempted to march right back out. No way, no how is she risking her heart to that infuriating alpha bear again.
Simon Voss thought he lost everything in an ambush months before: his home, his family, his past. His new job at the Blue Moon Saloon is a desperately needed fresh start on life. Then along comes Jessica, the irresistible she-wolf his clan forced him to reject years before. When Simon is obliged to hire Jessica and work side by side with the one woman to ever make his bear go wild, he’s half in heaven, half in hell. He hasn’t forgotten her, and she sure as hell hasn’t forgiven him. Is this just another path to heartbreak or his last chance to claim his destined mate?
PERFECTION
A sexy bear, a stubborn she-wolf, and a very cozy den.
It’s a stormy winter’s night in the mountains, and she-wolf Jessica Macks is desperate to find shelter. So desperate, she’ll even settle for an unoccupied bear den, despite all the warnings she’s heard about her pack’s mysterious neighbors. It doesn’t take long before unwanted company in the form of bear shifter Simon Voss comes lumbering in. The two can let out their claws and fight, or they can lower their defenses and keep each other warm. But the instinct to survive isn’t the only force at work in that cozy den — destiny is, too. Before Jessica and Simon know it, they’re cuddled together in human form and letting warm heat right over to hot as they give in to temptation for the very first time.

Blue Moon Saloon
Book 0.5 prequel
This is a very short story of how Jess and Simon meet. It’s a great sweet sexy way to introduce the characters. Looking forward to the rest of the series especially as I’ve got them in audiobook and I absolutely love Kelsey Osborne
Book 1 of Blue Moon Saloon by Anna Lowe
Where to start? I absolutely loved this book but to get the full story or beginning YOU MUST READ PREQUEL PERFECTION SHORT STORY BEFORE DAMNATION. This is a short story about how Simon first meets Jessica but it just beautifully starts everything off but when you start book 1 damnation you are thinking of a great romance that started so well but this first book throws you so much.
Simon is a bear shifter but after been away from his clan with his brother for some time he returns to find them all dead. He and his brother end up as cook and bartender at the wild owned Blue Moon Saloon.
Jessica and Janna are wolf shifter that turn up in town and running for 6 months after a rogue kills their whole pack.
Such great twists in this series and I’ve only ready two books and one was a short story.
The audiobook is fantastic Kelsey Osborne is a favourite of mine and narrates so beautifully. If you love shifter series that look no further then Anna Lowe
Second chances
Life on the run is hard, so when Jessica and her sister land at Twin Moon ranch all they want is to breathe. Fate has so much more in store for them though. Their past comes roaring out and they almost get swept away but fate has surprises in store and help at hand, so they can finally rest.
There’s lots of extra’s in this expanded set, author’s notes & background info.
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS !!!

My Rating: FIVE DIVINELY ENTERTAINING STARS*****
I adore paranormal romance, and no one does it better than Anna Lowe! I’ve been a fan of Lowe’s work for several years and enjoy everything she writes, but Damnation and the Blue Moon Saloon Series have become my new favorites! But I’m not the only one who loves it. Damnation was voted Best Shifter Book for 2016 by Reality Bites Magazine. Wow! And yes, it’s that good! I became officially hooked two years ago after reading Desert Moon, the first release in Lowe’s The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch Series and have followed her work since. I’ve been a lover of the written word for over 60 years and during that time, I’ve read an incalculable number of books, written by a diverse collection of talented authors. So when I say Anna Lowe is one of my favorites, that’s quite a recommendation. It’s a little hard to explain but I’ll try. Lowe is what I like to call a triple threat. lol… I know it sounds a little ominous but it’s really not. You see, some authors are stronger in certain aspects of the process than others. They may have a great idea for a book or series but have difficulties developing the story and translating their thoughts to written words, while some may be good with words and story development but lack creativity and ideas. Lowe can create it, develop it, and write it, but Lowe’s talent doesn’t stop there. She’s not only a truly gifted storyteller and skilled wordsmith, she’s also one of the most reliable authors in the romance genre today, consistently penning unique and highly imaginative storylines, set in vividly depicted worlds, populated with fascinating characters who will surely capture your imagination as well as your heart. Lowe’s books are all well crafted and well edited with beautiful covers. And Damnation is no exception! In addition to having my nose stuck in a book for a few hours every day, I frequently listen to audiobooks and Damnation was available so, naturally, I snagged the Audible version as well. There’s nothing like listening to the characters of a story come to life through the voice of a talented narrator and I truly enjoy the artist Lowe uses for her books. Kelsey Osborne does a fabulous job and has quickly become one of my favorites. Osborne’s reading and narration skills are exceptional, enhanced by her pleasing pitch, soothing dulcet tone, delightful and sometimes amusing voice inflections, rhythmic effortless cadence, and always correct pronunciations. But as usual I digress, especially when I talk about my favorite authors, so let’s discuss a few details about the story itself.
Perfection is a delightfully entertaining prequel to Damnation and the actual beginning of the Blue Moon Saloon Series. It sets the stage for Simon and Jessica’s relationship, giving the details of their initial meeting. It also lays the groundwork for the underlying conflict throughout the series with emphasis on the unlikely mating of two different species and in this first book, it’s a wolf and bear shifter. Although Jessica’s pack live near Simon’s clan in Montana, they are natural enemies and don’t generally associate together. In this short introduction, Lowe gives the reader all the nitty, gritty details of Jess and Simon’s activities while trying to survive the freezing cold after becoming stranded together in the woods during a terrible snowstorm. And it’s delicious!
Damnation is an emotionally gripping, fast-paced, well-crafted second chance paranormal romance filled to the brim with pulse-pounding danger, agonizing drama, malevolent enemies, heart-wrenching angst, fiery passion, steamy sex, dreamy romance and laugh-out-loud humor. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with his and her perspectives. The dialogue is smart, snappy, well executed and flows effortlessly. But hands down, my favorite component of every Lowe story is her cast of relatable characters. I found them to be intriguing, engaging, well developed, and at times, hilarious. I was immediately smitten with the two protagonists, beautiful, plucky she-wolf Jessica ‘Jess’ Macks and handsome, burly bear-shifter Simon Voss. These two could not have been more different but complemented each other perfectly, and together were an absolute riot. My emotions ran the full gambit while reading this story. I sniffed, snorted, giggled, sobbed and raged through the entire book. And there were quite a few times, I wanted to give Simon and Jess a swift kick in the butt but by the end, I was happy, satisfied and well entertained. Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but for adult readers only since it does contain some steamy, dreamy love scenes, however, I highly recommend the muffins for all ages! They’re so yummy! Will I read this author again? Absolutely! I’ve already purchased Temptation, the second book of the series, and can hardly wait to dive in! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
Two unlikely lovers thrown together by chance, divided by obligation, haunted by loss, reunited by fate…. but will destiny grant them the second chance they each so desperately desire? We’ll see! No spoilers from me but I will say this… A beautiful, strong but heartbroken she-wolf and her sister on the run for their lives after losing their entire family in an attack by rogue wolves, now urgently seeking a place to belong and call home-check! A handsome, determined bear shifter and his brother, both tortured by past failures and mistakes, desperately seeking a second chance-check! Heinous enemies with evil machinations-check! Danger, drama, heartache, loss, and angst-check! Fiery passion, steamy sex, sweet romance, a sprinkling of humor, and a heartwarming second chance at love- you bet! That and a whole lot more, including a very important lesson…. Bad guys don’t always wear black, especially when he’s a purist vigilante named Whyte!
***This edition includes Damnation, Book One of the Blue Moon Series, plus the novelette length prequel entitled Perfection, and an exclusive bonus epilogue available only in this release along with a few other super-duper extras. Both Damnation and Perfection are also available for purchase separately but the goodies are only included in this edition… like the berry chocolate chip muffin recipe baked by one of the characters in the book. Yum! And believe me, I should know! While I was reading/listening to Damnation and got to the scene where Simon and his bear get upset because Jess is selling ‘his’ muffins, I simply could not resist the craving. I tried, really, really tried but once I get muffins on the brain, there’s no turning back, so I baked a batched using the bonus recipe. Surely, you know what’s coming next, right? Yup, as soon as they were out of the oven, I promptly sat down and ate half of them while finishing the book and the remaining half the next day. And OMG…. they were sooo delicious! Now I understand why Simon’s bear didn’t want to share! lol…
If you have not read these books do yourself a favour and get this brilliant starter deal.
A fantastic way to jump into this series.
0.5 – PERFECTION
You will enjoy this read. This is just a short little story telling about how Jessie and Simon meet in a blizzard.
You do not need to read this first before Damnation, but it made book 1 all the better for me.
It was so sweet and wonderful and made me much sadder when I read their story in Damnation after reading this first. How it went wrong is a sobering story and is told in Damnation.
1 – DAMNATION
A great new series coming up.
I read the prequel PERFECTION before this book and it was so sweet. You do not need to have read it but it makes what happens in this book so much sadder.
Jessie has done nothing wrong but been left by her unmated mate. She has suffered 3 years of hurt and then things get worse. Her pack is wiped out by purist rogues that only her and her sister Janna escaped from.
Jess believes she could have done more to help her pack and her guilt at not fighting enough, on top of not being wanted by her mate and living on the run has taken her from being a feisty she wolf to a shadow of herself.
Simon thought he was doing the right thing in hurting Jessie and turning her away and making her hate him. What a ninny.
Why do males not understand that talking can solve so much. IF Simon had told Jessie what was going on, IF he had not hurt her so bad, they may have been able to be together and their respective pack and clans may have been able to help and protect each other from the rogues. Big IF I know.
All in all a very enjoyable read with a good storyline that is leading to a series of books for some of the other lovely characters we meet in this book.
Really want Soren to have his HEA.
