Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p align="justify"><font size="2"><strong><font color="#ff0000">Readers' Choice #1 Torrid Bestseller Of The Month<br />_________________________________________________</font></strong><br />TIRON is the second book in the RUNNER'S MOON series. I really loved this story! The characters are so gentle and loving. The imagery Ms. Mooney writes is so descriptive and vivid that the characters come alive. It made me wish for an alien of my own. The ending brought tears to my eyes and a yearning for the next story. It is going to be torture waiting for the next installment. I really love this series and can not wait for the next book. I think that Ms. Mooney is a wonderful author and that her brand of romance will appeal to many different kinds of readers.

The burgeoning attraction between Tiron and Thom is well crafted, dealing with the inevitable misunderstandings and stumbling blocks inherent in any new relationship, let alone one between an alien shape-shifting prostitute and a cop with psychosomatic issues. The science fiction aspect is handled perfectly, just enough to add a bit of flavor to the story but not so much that it detracts or overrides the main storyline. Tiron's alien senses are believable and blend perfectly with storyline. Tiron is the second Book in the Runner's Moon series but it stands on its own and you do not need to have read the first book to enjoy it. Be warned, though. If you have not read the first book yet, odds are you will want to after reading this one. I know I do.<br /><br />5 cups, Alex , Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance </font></p> <hr width="300" /><p align="justify"><font size="2">This novel was a pleasure to read. It flows so well from the first book in the series while at the same time being a separate stand-alone story. The author weaves this story together very smoothly. There is suspense from the threat of the Arra, not to mention a serial killer on the loose and the romance of Thom and Roni's growing relationship along with Roni's journey of personal growth. Roni is clearly a damaged young woman and the reader's heart will just go out to her. The author captures that depression and self-hatred in such a realistic way. I truly enjoyed this book from cover to cover. And can't wait for the next in the series. <br />4 Hearts, AMG, The Romance Studio</font></p> <hr width="300" /><p align="justify"><font size="2">Go, Ms. Mooney, Go. I am thoroughly intrigued by the species she has invented and am hooked on reading how they adapt to the human race and lifestyles. In Tiron you get your first look at a female of the Ruinos people. This is the second book in the series but can easily be read as a stand-alone book, though be warned it will make you want to go back and read the first offering. I look forward to another 29 stories about this wonderful group of survivors. -- Tanya, Joyfully Reviewed </font></p>
