What It's About?

Mary just wants to get away from her boss, but quitting her job would leave her and her sister homeless. Raphael is a criminal living with the never-ending guilt of the crimes he committed centuries ago. Punished brings them together in a romance filled with lore, laugher, and love. Samantha Stone is pleased to present Book 1 of her new paranormal romance series, Crescent City Creatures. Raphael Saar is an exiled werewolf, a convict on the direct path to a death sentence—for a crime he didn’t commit. He doesn’t care, so long as he can end the human trafficking ring kidnapping women across New Orleans. Recovering from a horrific tragedy, one particularly bad day for Mary Newman has stretched into months. A nanny for a wealthy family in New Orleans, she can’t understand why she’s being constantly humiliated by her boss until the night she learns that he’s not human—and neither is she. Only Raphael can save her from the monster feeding from her misery, but will Mary be able to stop his execution? Punished teams up werewolves, banshees, a wompus cat and a haint in order to rid New Orleans of a group of immortals determined to hurt the city’s women and kill Raphael’s pack. Content Notes: Spicy, Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Suspense, Shifters, Wolves, Other Weres, Magic, Ghosts

My Thoughts

I was amazed at this story The start of it was just wonderful. Something different that's for sure an more then just Wolves where apart of the story that made it even more enjoyable. Never read a story from this author before I was blown away with how amazing the story came out to be I was hooked from the start and couldn't stop reading it for anything. Reading the amount of details that went into this story was amazing every feeling and every emotion was captured with the reader in mind. The characters in this story shine on the pages they each bring something to the front and make this story explode. The multiple POVs are jaw dropping great along with the hot as sin alpha characters they each bring hot to a new level. I could really go on and on all day about the characters but I know for a fact that his paranormal romance story is a must read cover to cover soak every word up great. I loved the end of this story and really craved more of it by the last page I had tears in my eyes thinking the worst then BAM I was hit all at once. I did feel like some of the story was missing and that some parts needing to be explained more but most of the details really brought it out the more and more you read.
