A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: JulieS
What an appropriate title for this story. Who knew escaping to the rooftop to get away from your family could be so much fun? Being under her father's thumb for far too long left Chloe ripe for something new or in this case, something old.
Enter Zach, the long suffering ex-boyfriend who's got some making up to do. The push and pull between the heroine and hero and their need to do the right thing for everyone made for a very nice read. I love mated stories and this short one did not disappoint. With just enough plot, sex and emotional connection to keep the story going to the surprising end, you'll definitely want to read this one.
Ms. Rock has set up an intriguing world and I for one am looking forward to reading more of it.

Book Blurb for Up On the Housetop
Shape-shifter Paranormal
Length: Novella
Desperate to escape her controlling family, Chloe Bradford scrambles up to the housetop of her Texas home on Christmas Eve. There she discovers a sexy stranger cloaked in shadow. He convinces her to shed her good-girl image and give into her most secret desires. The man's low, raspy voice tugs at her memory as much as it awakens her passion. Is he a Christmas miracle, or some figment of her imagination? When he tries to leave, she follows him, eager to learn his identity.
Zach can't stop thinking about Chloe, or their reunion on the roof. His wolf-half urges him to reveal his identity and claim her, but he doesn't dare. For both their sakes, he must remain in the shadows until he can control his inner beast's bursts of rage. After a decade of struggle he thought he could handle his curse, but Chloe's presence causes his control to slip. As the moon-rages become more frequent, he knows he's slipping toward the insanity that claims many of his kind. Only Chloe can save him, but he broke her heart over a decade ago. Her forgiveness would be the real Christmas miracle.
