I was absorbed by this tale of lovers reunited beneath the shadow of a horrible night. The characters really came to life for me and the author fleshed them out with so much emotion that I wasn't able to set the story aside until I finished. Everything about Ms. Blades' tale rang true from the snappy dialogue to the depiction of a non-white couple without all the annoying cliches. The sensual scenes were well written and perfectly suited to the two main characters whose genuine love and desire for each other never truly diminished. Equally impressive was the surrounding story of the local ghost and the way the author tied it to her characters in a meaningful way. The resolution of the story was incredibly satisfying and had me smiling through tears. This story and this new author are a wonderful addition to Red Sage and I'll be anxiously looking for more stories from Ms. Blades." - 5 Hearts, Cameron Foster, The Romance Studio "Lauren Blades writes a beautiful story of romance, mystery, and shape shifter werewolves. I was so caught up in the story that I had to finish it. You are drawn into the plot where the characters are truly in love, and where a ghost is tied in with the tale. This is a sad story, but ends in a satisfying and happy way. I truly recommend Sofia’s Lobo to readers that enjoy reading a good ghost story." - 5/5 & featured review, Loretta, Manic Readers   Excerpt Little was said until the door to Sofia’s hotel room quietly closed. She pulled her purse from her shoulder and tossed it into the chair by the door. All the while she could feel Antonio’s gaze on her. She could feel the intensity of his need and it had her body going up in flames like it hadn’t for six years. Only his touch, his caress, could put her in such a burning state of arousal. Antonio’s expression was predatory, heavy with desire as his eyes glittered with intent. “We could have gone back to your place,” she pointed out, standing by the chair. She didn’t move. She couldn’t move. The anticipation of his claiming was too intense. “Could have.” His heated gaze raked over her breasts and he took a step closer, his expression dark and hungry. “I want to know where you’re staying. I want to know where to find you.” “Why?” Her body began to tremble in desire and trepidation when he took another step closer. “You said one night, Antonio, and that’s all I agreed to.” His eyes became wild beneath his thick black lashes. With a single smooth motion he pulled at his tie to loosen it, pulling it free a second later. His fingers made quick work of the shirt buttons running along his chest. The glimpse of his muscular chest made her quiver with the realization of what was about to happen. “You knew better than that, mi amor.” He stopped moving and the dangerous stillness of his body was impossible to ignore. “You agreed to leave with me but you know it won’t end in the morning. I don’t think either of us will be able to walk away after tonight.”
