    5.0 out of 5 stars Romance with a kick(stand).
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2017

    This one starts off as a romance novel, then incorporates paranormal, Wiccan, and demon attributes. The story is set in a small town and the writer is familiar with the setting in real life. That helps so much to keep it genuine. Various Wiccan and Pagan elements are well covered. Then you get the Demon Motorcycle from Hell. The romance starts and sputters in fits almost like a dirty engine, but when it gets humming, oh boy!! I would have liked to see a conclusion of a side story, but it didn't detract from the main. All the characters are well described and believable. It could have gotten sappy at a point or two, yet the author did us justice and kept strong. Great story, kept me up at night, reading.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good read...
    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I don't particularly believe in ghosts, I'm not into rituals that conjure up our wishes, and urban or dark fantasy has never appealed to me. But I had read another story by the author and enjoyed it, so I decided to give Swallow the Moon a try. And I am very glad I did, because it reminded me we have not done books a favor by over-categorizing them. I enjoyed the story for the good read that it was.

    June is a down-to-earth accountant. She also happens to be a Wiccan who is tired of waiting for her soulmate to appear. She decides to cast a spell on the full autumn moon to hurry things along. Eric has recently returned from a stint in Afghanistan, to find divorce papers waiting for him. He has an unfulfilling job as a lab rat and not much else. His thoughts go to a happier time in his life when he raced motocross. He turns on his computer and searches for a Suzuki Hayabusa, his dream bike. His eyes fall upon a tricked-up `Busa which has a bit of damage and he goes looking for the talented artist who originally painted it so beautifully. Neither June nor Eric could have imagined the conflicts they had unleashed from the simple human act of looking to fulfill their dreams.

    In the end, I couldn't name a category into which to fit Swallow the Moon. It is a hybrid book, a contemporary romance both character and plot driven, with elements of the supernatural. The characters are believable and well wrought, the settings realistically rendered. The author knows returning vets and their inner demons. Bringing outer demons into the equation seemed a natural thing, and gave us one of the coolest bad dudes ever in Van Man Go. The setup for the meeting between our leads was very well done, and set up the engaging plot equally well. A touch of humor here and there completed the appeal of the book.

    As for the rituals, I'm thinking that conjuring up a few dreams for myself might be kind of fun...

    3.0 out of 5 stars Romance...paranormal style
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2011
    I give this 3 stars not because I hated it, but because to me 3 stars means a fairly decent read in a genre I wouldn't normally read.

    Ghosts, Wiccans, demonically possessed motorcycle, true love.....

    I don't read romance novels. I don't read paranormal romance novels. When the author asked for readers to review her paranormal ghostly romance, I thought what the hell the worst is that I could positively hate it right? Well I was pleasantly surprised. While the romance genre is certainly not something I will actively read, it's not half as bad as I thought it would be.

    The story centres around June, a Wiccan accountant at a failing company looking for her soulmate, and Eric, a troubled Vet who saw action in Afghanistan. He returns home after his second tour of duty to find his marriage over and his life in tatters. The lab he works for closes just as he purchases a motorcycle. From Hell. The ghost of the first owner, a woman called Cora Cobra, hovers in and around the motorcycle. Eric is hooked the minute he sees it and buys it from a widow whose husband, an undercover Narc, died when losing control of the motorcycle in a bend in the road. Jake's ghost haunts the motorcycle too but he is trapped, unlike Cora's ghost. She's evil. Eric and June meet one night when he is driven off the road by men in an SUV right outside of June's home. She calls the police and an ambulance after they drive off, unable to find Eric and make sure he is dead. She keeps the motorcycle in her garage for Eric, who is taken off to hospital to patch him up. Over the next few days, he stays with her while looking for Van Man Go, the man who painted Cora's portrait on the motorcycle, and recovering from his injuries. He wants to restore the bodywork. June senses the ghost of Cora around the motorcycle, she feels the evil in it. And then there's that instant attraction going on between them. And what's up with the ghostly visits in her bedroom? And the roses he keeps leaving?

    Overall, a good read, for the paranormal genre. While it doesn't inspire me to go out and buy more of this type of book, it was a pleasant change from my normal reading list. I will however make sure to find other books written by the author.

    I loved this book, it was a departure from my usual reading material but it held my interest throughout the story. I was intrigued by Wicca and enjoyed the glimpse into that lifestyle. I also thought that the PTSD was described very effectively as well as life in a dying town. That might sound depressing but the story was far from depressing, it was uplifting and lyrical with its touch of magic but with the malevolent spirits it had its share of conflict. I would recommend it.

    COULD not put this one down! A little bit of Wiccan magic, a wounded warrior, a haunted motorcycle, and a murdering drug ring keep the suspense and plot twists rolling. Add in some romance and you've got a perfect read.
