Congrats to Cynthia Eden on her new release of “Angel Betrayed”! After reading “Angel of Darkness” and nearly every other book she’s written, I am bubbly excited to get my copy.
Cynthia is a friend of mine and a very admired role model for other writers. I have learned so much from her and I’m very proud of her accomplishments.I would also like to thank Cynthia for inviting me to be a part of her release party.
By the way, My name is Janet Breakfield. I am also a Paranormal Romance writer. You can check out my website at www.janetbreakfield.com.
My new release in “The Bayou Series” is book 2. “Sacred Bayou’s” plot takes place in southern Louisiana and is riddled with non-stop action, excitement and romance. The preceding novel and first in the same series is “Bayou Legend”. Here’s a short description of each book:
“Bayou Legend”
Passion, Voodoo and Curses abound in this thrilling,supernatural story of life in the swamps and bayous of South Louisiana.
The responsibility of being the newest “Treater” rest solely on Emily’s shoulders. She has never loved a man until she reunites with her childhood friend, Tanner Guidry. Little does she know that she is his salvation made flesh.
The curse of “Loup Garou” is like a second skin attached to Tanner thanks to Ursulla, the wicked Voodoo witch that cursed his family when she couldn’t have his Grandfather years earlier. Now all of the men in Tanner’s family carry the curse. Will Emily’s love and magic be enough to save Tanner from the curse and the Witch that wants to destroy him? Will Ursulla’s secret be revealed as she tries to destroy Tanner and Emily?
Or will her love spell using Tristan to seduce Emily be enough temptation to tear them apart?
“Sacred Bayou”
Betrayed by passion and the only man she’s ever trusted, Emily Bourgeois finds the comfort she needs in the arms of a sexy Nephillim. He’s everything she never knew she ever wanted. After having destroyed one generation of Voodoo, now the next stands in her way disguised as her friend and Voodoo priestess, Ameliana. It will take all Emily’s courage and supernatural strength to defeat the evil that reins over the skinwalkers of Bayou Lafourche, while in the process saving the sacred burial mounds of the Houmas Indians from destruction. Nothing can stop Emily from helping to protect the sacred burial grounds, even as her life seems to be falling apart around her. She must battle the anger toward her ex-lover, magical and evil beings bent on her destruction, and meanwhile establish a new love with the very addictive, Merrick. Torn between the two unbelievably sexy men may be the death of her, buy damn, what a way to go.

I love reading about werewolves first and foremost. I also like lions and cougars.
Loup Garou are werewolf shifters…so you may like to try my “Bayou Series”! Thanks for posting!
I love reading all shifter books but my favorite is a wolf shifter:)
I love reading about big cat shifters…cats are just so naturally aloof and mysterious that it’s fun to imagine them in human form as well.
I mostly read about wolf shifters. I have enjoyed bear shifter and big cat shifter stories too. I need to branch out into other animal shifters.
I love all shifter books. My favorite is wolf and dragon.
Wolves are a fav for me, but I do enjoy the variety out there… there have been some interesting ones… bears, dragons, etc…
You’re a new author for me. I love all kinds of shifter stories. But my favorites are dragon and bear shifters.

Hope you give my Loup Garou shifters a try!
Another difficult question. But what can I say; I love ALL of them! I’m sorry Cynthia but I cannot choose just one. I love all my shifters 🙂
I’m partial to wolves but any type of shifter is interesting to read about. Janet, what inspired you to use the Loup Garou, and do you have a personal preference in regards to shifters?
I love wolf shifters, but appreciate all shifters…The Loup Garou is a fascinating shifter..I’m from the south and grew up with stories of Loup Garou..
I love all kinds of shifter. My favorite are big cat shifters!
I can’t exactly pick just one type. I love wolves, but I like all the shifters in Thea Harrison’s Elder Races series. They have a little of everything!!!
Hi Janet
Thanks for the excerpts, will definately add to my TBR list!!
I do love shifters but wolf shifters are my fav!
Thanks!
Thanks Patty!
Hi Janet! Your books sound great! I love all types of shifters but I have to say that wolves are my favorites, followed closely by the big cats. Thanks for your wonderful giveaway and coming to the release party!
Barb,
you’ll love the Loup Garou shifters in the “Bayou Series”…they are wolf shifters! Thanks for posting!
I’m easy to please– but I do love me some wolves 🙂
🙂 meee too!
DRAGON shifters there is so little of them out, much to the pity
I love Dragon shifters and also wolves.
Wolves and cats seem the most common shifters though Nalini Singh’s psi series is adding ocean creatures and birds to them!!!
I mainly read werewolf shifters but I also love dragons.
Give me that hidden beast in any man and I’m hooked! Wolves are my favorite shifter, but admit a few others have piqued my interest, too!
I agree Runere. Especially when he is built and gorgeous!
i have mostly read wolf shifters and cat shifter books but am open to trying new types out. I hear dragon shifter books are getting very popular. I have read a book based in the bayou in a long while so that really interests me.

Wolves are my favorite….
I like werewolves & were panthers.—Rachel
I enjoy reading about all types of shifters but I really like the big cat ones:)

I love all types of shifters and my favorites are wolves and panthers.
I like reading about all kinds of shifters as I’m a big paranormal fan 🙂
I love finding shifter novels that include breeds besides werewolves. I mean who doesn’t love a lion or bear shifter? 😉
How about more non-warmblooded shifters? I would love to read about giant insect shifters! That’d be cool (and queasy-making for some readers, I’m sure)!
As long as the story is great I love them all. If I had to choose I guess I like the big cats best. Which is strange because I don’t own cats nor want to.
I love all shifters they are most likely my favorite paranormal creature!! I think wolves and dragons top my list as favorites 🙂
Great excerpt. I like all kinds of shifters, like wolves and jaguars.
I love the werewolves. They are so dominent and alpha something about them catches me. The other sifters just don’t have the same aggression or spark that I get from the weres
I really the big cat shifters and wolf shifters.
Hmm… my favorites so far are wolves, big cats, and dragons, but I’m quite open to all kinds of shifters! I love it when an author surprises me with either a different kind of animal or by taking a “traditional” animal in a slightly different direction or giving them a different background or mythology! Thanks for the intro to Janet’s writing–she’s a new-to-me author!
I love reading about any type of shifters, but especially the unusual ones like dragons, or panthers.
Liken. The mwolf whoo
Congrats on booo
I love all shifters but big cats and dragons are my favorites.
I like all types of shifters especially wolves and jaguars.
I like Wolf shifters for their characters. Strong, loyal and protective. But I also like the big cat (tigers or leopards etc)for their strength and beauty. Cats are not always loyal. Keep them coming my TBR list is getting so long I don’t know when I am going to have time for anything else.
I like werewolves mainly. There are other shifters of course. Dragons or big cats. I like to read about the different ones sometimes but my favorite will be the werewolves. 🙂
I love cat shifters. They seem so sexual in cat and man form.
I like, cat shifters, dragon shifters, and wolves.
An Eagle (Lisa Hendrix) was different and enjoyable, panthers and wolves!
Love shifter stories, especially alpha wolves!!
I love big cat shifters the most but recently I’ve been enjoying bears 🙂
I especially love werewolves and dragon shifters, but also big cats and bears
I like the Bayou Legend cover alot.
I love to read about big animals. Such as dragons, wolves, and big cats. The big, more alpha the better!
I love dragon and leopard shifters.
i really like the kind of shifters that are in nalini singh’s psy-changeling series.
