Reviews for In a Dark Embrace: "In a Dark Embrace is a well-written paranormal story filled with passion and desire, and the intense physical/emotional attraction between Lee and Jeremy is believable and realistic." Literary Nymphs Reviews, June 2008 "In A Dark Embrace is a provides a new twist on the werewolf mythology, that is not so far removed from traditional mythology as to knock the reader out of the book. Ms. Bern has also created a unique take on witches which is a combination of Bewitched and training. Filled with passionate romps between Jeremy and Lee, that are well written and hot... If you enjoy reading witches or werewolf novels, you will enjoy this book." Simply Romance Reviews, August 2008

Lee Gibson is trying hard to be normal. It isn’t easy to blend in when you’re a witch–especially a witch with a motorcycle and a penchant for big men and rough sex. When she meets a gorgeous and very unusual man under a full moon she indulges in a hot sexual encounter, never intending it to be anything more. There’s no room in her life for a half-wild werewolf, no matter how sexy he is.

Jeremy Blake has given up on meaningful relationships. Sooner or later the wolf in him tears through the carefully structured façade and his lover either crumbles into cringing servility or runs away. Usually they run. Then he meets a woman that responds to his werewolf form with a smile and an invitation–a small, green-eyed witch with no fear and an insatiable desire for his hard, willing body. He isn’t about to let this one get away.
