Paranormal Romance Reads by Author Kari Thomas

I thought I'd take today to spotlight one of my favorite paranormal romance authors, Kari Thomas. These are great Halloween reads when you want to enjoy the magic of the season.  Kari has been writing since she was young, and has been an inspiration to me from the moment that we met.

Kari's books mix the sweet, sensual, and humorous with a skill I envy yet today. Come with me as we go from witches to shifters, and more to be found when you visit her website.

Briana Adair is a witch with a glitch.

Whenever Briana’s emotions kick in, her spells fizzle out. Entrusted with a magical sphere containing the Tree of Life, she can’t risk letting her feelings run amok. Her life and the safety of the world she knows depend on it. But now an evil force is putting her guardianship and witchy skills to the test—and the one man she needs to help her brings enough sizzle to cause an awful lot of fizzle.

Hunter Dallas doesn’t believe in magic.

Burned out, hunky police detective Hunter thinks his mother’s new tenant is just about as crazy as they come. Witchcraft? Maybe it’s just the power of the moonlight, but even cynical Hunter can’t deny Briana has cast a spell over him. As he begins to see some supernatural threats firsthand, will Hunter learn love and magic are actually one and the same before it’s too late?



 
While visiting from her parallel world, Kassidy finds her witch powers put to the test to help destroy an evil entity. Piece of cake for a powerful witch.

Kitchen Witch Baylie Campbell needs a hero-a protector-when a crazed stalker threatens her life. Ex-detective-turned cowboy, Colt McKnight, agrees to protect Baylie, and he takes her to his secluded ranch. Colt knows Baylie is big trouble when he meets her, and those misfit, magically-blessed animals of hers are added stress. But he soon realizes it's more than his male-sanity at stake when it comes to the seductive witch. Colt tries his best to resist Baylie's charms. but, Baylie knows he never stands a chance. Both learn to trust love again; along with help from her four animals, and fate in the form of a stalker.

 


Something wild this way comes…

Once a powerful, practicing Wiccan, Kira Douglas has reluctantly moved to wild and beautiful Sedona, Arizona for only one reason—assume custody of her dead sister’s daughter. She immediately runs into an obstacle. The child’s uncle, the disturbingly sexy Aiden Calhoun, refuses to give her up.

Aiden has good reason for not allowing Kira custody of his precious niece. The child is half witch, half shapeshifter. Allowing her to take the girl could expose the family’s shapeshifting secret he has spent a lifetime protecting.

Their instant attraction isn’t just an inconvenient temptation. It could put his entire family in danger.

But an evil force is re-emerging, bent on destroying everything they know and love. The only way to survive is to put all differences aside.

And overcome the nightmare that once broke Kira’s faith.

This title has been revised and expanded from its previously published version.

KARI'S BIO:
I was born and raised in Florida. We moved to Arizona when I was 15. Talk about culture shock! The two states are so opposite of each other! I have lived in AZ for most of my adult life, taking time out to attend BYU in Provo, Utah. After school I returned home to become my mom's Caregiver. I started writing then, too, although I had always wrote at one time or another in my life.  My mom was a
writer too; one of her stories won a state-wide Contest and was Serialized in the North Fort Myers, Florida Newspaper for 17 weeks. I'm a professed Book-A-Holic, and mom taught me to read before I started school. So, I guess that means I was destined to be a writer ---one way or another!
I love doing Research for my books, and plan on venturing into the Non Fiction genre some time in the near future. So many subjects, so little time!
