Reviewer Knocks Cover&Title but Commends Content of "My Life as a Dog" by C&M Arsuaga. Erotic Paranormal Romance

   Dark Haven Maven Posts Review of "My Life as a Dog". Here are excerpts of her opinion:


   " ...it saddens me that people may not have a chance to experience it; because the cover or title might put them off."

"True there are funny moments in the story but this is an erotic mystery with elements of the detective genre of old.  At least that’s what my brain kept flashing back to and that’s due in part to Drake’s ‘voice’ and persona.   Does “My Life...” deserve its erotic tag?  You bet your life it does.  The heat level and sex between Drake and Kady is graphically detailed by the authors.  This is hot stuff!  This sexuality, combined with Drake’s absolute devotion to Kady, surprise revelations, and the suspense of the unknown while trying to stay alive, will hook you.   There are intense and believable emotions in this story, especially shown by Drake. 
AND

" I can still happily recommend it and say to Cynthia and Michael, “here’s looking at you kids.”   I’d read a follow up tale. "

The full review is posted on Goodreads  and Amazon.

Here's an excerpt from "SUBSPECIES" to warm things up.


This is my favorite scene from SUBSPECIES. One of the main characters makes only a cameo appearance but I smile every time I read it.
Let me set the stage:
Jim, Sam , and an attorney named Oscar Young returned to Jim’s apartment from having rescued seven month pregnant Sam from police interrogation. Lycan Cynthia and vampire Ed Myers are already there. The police suspect Sam and the support group have something to do with the disappearances. Attorney Young has just finished explaining attorney/ client privilege, including how anything a client tells him will not be repeated.

The scene unfolds:
Encouraged by his answer I morphed, with fangs, pallor and red eyes. Oscar instinctively jumped back but recovered and said with another chuckle. “What an excellent effect. How did you do it?”
By then I returned to human form. “You don’t understand. I really am a vampire,” I said.
Oscar stood and sternly replied, “Doctor White, if you think this is all a joke perhaps you should seek other representation.” He retrieved his briefcase preparing to leave.
A vampire morph is not dramatic. Most of it happens internally, expanding joints and modest bone growth. Except for the fangs I could pass for large pale man with a bad hangover. We needed a more dramatic demonstration.
I turned to Cynthia. “Show him what you can do,” I said to her.
“Do I have to?” she complained. “This is a brand new outfit.”
“Please, it’s important, dear.” Sam added. Besides, I sewed in Velcro morph seams.”
Cynthia stood and stepped to the middle of the room. She faced Oscar who paused at the door. Shimmying out of her panties, she kicked them to the side with a last flick of a bare foot. Stretchy lingerie fabrics didn’t tear. Because a lycan grew when morphing, most underwear bound them painfully. Ed’s eyes locked onto the sexually aromatic wrinkle of white material shimmering at her feet. She stood erect with legs apart and hands on hips. As it molded to her butt, the black miniskirt sparkled with sequins, round like half of a disco ball. I surveyed the pleasingly dramatic arching cleft of her spine under the white blouse.
“Okay,” she said. “You asked for it.”
With a ripping of Velcro, the garments separated and fell away. She expanded in all directions nearly touching the ceiling, seeming to fill the room. Arms and legs elongated as if made of modeling clay. A curved fanged snout grew out of the face some said could launch a thousand ships. Upon completing the morph she peered down on Oscar. Casual predation emanated from the height of coal black eyes.
“Convinced now?” I asked above the sound of Cynthia’s low growl.
Bug eyed, Oscar slowly retook his seat.
