After winning the trial of a lifetime, Brie is ready to kick back and start enjoying the fruits of her labor, which garnered a promotion to senior partner at the firm. However, the victory is short lived when one minute the office is throwing her a celebratory party and the next chaos ensues as it is discovered the psychopath escaped. Brie knows she has a target on her back, but having the two hottest attorneys at the firm watching her back is more than comforting.

Sebastian the strong and silent Alpha is overwhelmed by the emotions Brie elicits from him, but refuses claiming her until the time is right. Sebastian’s flirty and frisky playboy of a brother, Jonah, is resolute in knowing that Brie is their mate and should be claimed as soon as possible, so with a gentle push, he seduces Brie into making the first move. Now the moves are up to the brothers as they discover that things are not all what they seem when it comes to their mate. With a killer out for her blood, drastic times call for drastic measures and unfortunately, sacrifices will have to be made.

With a quick and exciting pace filled with sexual tension and mystery, Ms. Fox made reading this story quite enjoyable. There were some editing errors that hindered my reading from time to time, but the characters and storyline easily kept my attention. Sebastian, Jonah, and Brie make a ménage a trios look good. There’s even mention of some cousins that has me wondering if perhaps a spinoff is in the works.

Ms. Fox had me well and truly scared of her villain. The horrendous crimes he committed are definitely nightmare-worthy, but even more terrifying is the not knowing of what the villain is or how he can be stopped. This one will have you guessing all the way to the end.

I will absolutely be reading the next installment to the Moonlight Shifters series. There are just one too many questions unanswered in this story and a stalker that needs to be staked. Readers that love paranormal and more specifically Lycans, need to check out this story.

Sexy and gorgeous hunks, Sebastian and Jonah McCarthy are not only brothers who work together at their own law firm, but they are also werewolves who know that they will someday share the same mate. Sebastian who is alpha of his pack, recognizes that mate in the new attorney who is now working for him, Brie Ferguson. When Jonah persuades Brie to act on her feelings for Sebastian, Brie makes a daring move on him, but with guilt, as she is in love with both brothers. Soon the brothers do reveal that she is suppose to be with both of them and that there is no turning back.

Brie Ferguson is a good attorney. So much so in fact that she has placed criminals in jail while working in the office of the District Attorney; however one of those dangerous murderers escapes and is now determined to go after Brie. When the sweltering hot McCarthy brothers decide to protect their mate, many secrets about the world of shape-shifters come to the surface, including one ancient prophecy that involves the lovely Brie.

Morgan Fox has done a good job of spinning an interesting tale of intrigue as well as erotic romance. I enjoyed her characters and I found myself looking forward to reading her second book to finish the tangled-web of these three interesting characters.

I did find it a bit unusual that you have to read both Seduced by the Moon as well as Tempted by the Moon to fully see what unfolds with these characters' lives, but even so this story was fascinating and held my interest throughout the entire book. Still, it does not stand alone, and I do highly recommend reading the two stories together.

I love that the villain was horrendous! It made the story more exciting. Couple that with smoking hot loving and this story sizzled. I did discover quite a few editing mistakes, but overall I really enjoyed this tale and will be keeping it in my “to-read again in the future” folder.

Need a midnight thrill by the moonlight? Well this book might be right up your alley! Hot, sexy werewolves and their mates...”oh my”!

Brie is a hard-hitting attorney, working on a case to see a man guilty of the horrible crimes he committed, making him face death for the lives he had taken. Jonah and Sebastian are brothers who work at the same firm, they both harbour feelings for Brie, they both feel the mating-heat for her, the tell-tale sign that she is theirs, however Jonah, the more upfront brother cannot make a move on her until Sebastian does;

“Kissing her was forbidden until Sebastian finally made his move, and that alone had him questioning his brother’s Alpha status. “

Brie has desire for Jonah and when he suggests she go to Sebastian, she can hardly believe what he is saying, good thing she also has the same desires for him. When Sebastian and Brie finally get together they are interrupted with the news that the murderer who Brie got convicted has escaped, he had threatened to kill her in the past, and luckily she has Sebastian and Jonah on her side to protect her. As it turns out Brie has wolf DNA in her, and when she finds out about what Sebastian and Jonah are, she takes it in her stride. There’s no lack of steam in this book or heat but also some humour and flirting to balance it out. The story is a little unbelievable and the dirty talk got a tad over the top at times but it was still a good read, I would definitely read the next book in the series without a second thought. I would give this three and a half stars if I could, it deserves more than just a standard three.I would have just liked more story to it, perhaps a little more background insight into Brie's past.

I liked the premise of this book, and it had the action necessary for a good story. My problem came mostly with the dialogue, which was 'stiff', not really the way most people (even attorneys) speak, yet Brie spouted off surprisingly dirty language - right off the bat - and she isn't very smexually experienced. The dialogue in the smex scenes was really 'bizarre' at times... I found myself laughing at it, and not enjoying the smex scene (well, after all, it can't be all that different from book to book, so I am sure not much was missed that I haven't read hundreds of other times).

I think if the author would try to 'lighten up' on the stiff dialogue and fix the dumb-sounding smex scene talk, this would be a good read. Not sure if she has an editor, but it would help.

The mistakes/misspellings were pretty minimal, although there were a few.

The villain is intriguing, and so far unstoppable, so I am off to Book 2 Tempted by the Moon

AND - a GR Editor needs to look at Morgan Fox's profile page. These two books are on there several times, but none really link to the series and some versions need to be combined under the titles. TIA!!

While not a terrible read, I find that the plot moved along far to quickly for my liking, hence the "too hasty" shelving. Hasty story lines are problematic as they do not allow for proper character development. As it was, I did not feel any real chemistry between these characters. This book also offended my "feminist sensibilities" with the following lines:
" Sure, he'd slept with other women over the past four years, so had Sebastien for that matter, but none of them had ever awakened their untamed passions as Brie did."
A paragraph later:
" As for Brie, never once had they smelled another man's scent on her. If they had...Well it's a good thing they never did."
While I get the context she was going for, these lines just reek of double standards.

This book is a real treat! It was so erotically hot that I thought I would soak my own panties with just the first sex scene in the book. WOW! Sebastian and Jonah are astounding brothers and make a great pair for their mate, Brie. Brie is such a passionate woman filled with love for both Jonah and Sebastian even with the madman, Macen on the loose, she couldn't resist either one of her deliciously sexy mates. I really liked how it ended, leaving me curious and wanting more of their story. Looking forward to devouring the rest of the Moonlight Shifters Series and anything else the talented Morgan Fox has written. This is a MUST read for those that enjoy erotic romances featuring some sexy as sin shifters, passion on every chapter and the romance that can't be denied with these characters.

I liked Seduced by the Moon, but it was over too soon. The book ended with everything still up in the air.

Really good shapeshifting book by Morgan Fox. Can't wait to read the 2nd book in the Moonlight Shifters Series to find out what happens to this trio next.
