My Review:

Last time we Mona Lisa she had just violently miscarried and banished her lover, Dante from her Louisiana territory. She had escaped the clutches of an evil Monère queen but suffered serious injury at the hands of her demon-lover, Halycon in the process of her escape.

When `Eclipsing' begins Mona Lisa's life is in turmoil. Dante is banished and Halycon is in self-imposed exile. With two of her lovers missing or silent Lisa is distraught and with a divided heart. So when rumor spreads that Dante's saber-toothed tiger shifter has been spotted in Mexico Mona Lisa is on the first plane to find her lost lover and bring him home.

But their excursion goes wrong and Mona Lisa is injured and captured! When she wakes up she has no memory of her past and is easily manipulated into believing the charismatic and attractive stranger named Roberto. Roberto is actually a drug lord and is unaware of his Monere heritage. (As a Monere they are not physically attracted to humans.) Mona Lisa is the only female Monere he has ever met and is captivated by his attraction to her. As a result, he is determined to keep her. Unfortunately, her memory loss leads her to believe his lies and also results in hurting the other men in her past who love her.

She finally regains her memory but before she does she goes through some very painful experiences with Dante!  I was cringing where they were being burned alive and it was quite descriptive!  Ouch!

Woah the sex scenes were really really hot and I warn you if you don't like erotic scenes don't read this series!

Mona Lisa Awakening (Monere: Children of the Moon, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've finished reading "Mona Lisa Awakening" the 1st book in her Children of the Moon series by Sunny.

From Publishers Weekly

Once readers get past the silly premise of Sunny's sizzling debut—a humanoid race called the Monère came to Earth from the moon 4,000 years ago — they'll find much to like in this intrigue-filled erotic paranormal. The "children of the moon" are ruled by "Queens," rare females whose ability to pull down the moon's rays allows them to heal rapidly and live 300 years. Gorgeous, shape-changing males protect, serve and have sex with the often ruthless Queens, who sometimes cruelly abuse them. After treating one of these males, Gryphon, at Manhattan's St. Vincent's Hospital one night, 21-year-old ER nurse Lisa discovers she's not only a part-human Monère herself but also the first "Mixed Blood" Queen, Mona Lisa. Her human blood makes her impervious to sunlight and silver—the banes of the Monère—and her latent powers pose a threat to the nastier Queens, who want to destroy her.

Product Description

A smoldering debut novel.

From the time she was a child, Mona Lisa knew she was different—but she never knew how different until a man of otherworldly beauty entered her life.
