Book Description
Five years ago they landed on Earth--thirty-one aliens, fugitives from a lifetime of hardship, slavery, and cruelty. Now they were dispersed among the populace, unidentifiable because of their shape-shifting abilities. Forms they were locked into during the day, but not at night. Not while under the light of the moon.
Tiron had found sanctuary in Crescent City as "Roni". But circumstances and her own self-hatred beaten into her by her imprisonment and torture at the hands of the Arra had her earning her living as a common street prostitute. She despised herself and everything she did to survive, knowing she would be spending the rest of her life in misery.
Lt. Thom DeGrassi worked vice for the police department. He had busted prostitutes in the past, but eight years on the force had never prepared him for what he felt when he met Roni. Not only was it impossible, but it went against everything he believed.
To make matters worse, there was some sicko out there getting his jollies cutting up hookers. Now DeGrassi was faced with two impossible situations--keeping Roni off the streets while he sorted out his feelings for this woman, and trying to find the man responsible for the deaths of four other women.
(Note: "Tiron" can be read separately from "Jebaral", but reading the first book of this series will greatly enhance the reader's enjoyment of this second installment.)
Reviews
TIRON is the second book in the RUNNER'S MOON series. I really loved this story! The characters are so gentle and loving. The imagery Ms. Mooney writes is so descriptive and vivid that the characters come alive. It made me wish for an alien of my own. The ending brought tears to my eyes and a yearning for the next story. It is going to be torture waiting for the next installment. I really love this series and can not wait for the next book. I think that Ms. Mooney is a wonderful author and that her brand of romance will appeal to many different kinds of readers. Purchase your copy of TIRON today! ~ Melanie, ENCHANTING REVIEWS
The characters are excellently written and they really drew me into the book. The burgeoning attraction between Tiron and Thom is well crafted, dealing with the inevitable misunderstandings and stumbling blocks inherent in any new relationship, let alone one between an alien shape-shifting prostitute and a cop with psychosomatic issues. The science fiction aspect is handled perfectly, just enough to add a bit of flavor to the story but not so much that it detracts or overrides the main storyline. Tiron's alien senses are believable and blend perfectly with storyline. Tiron is the second Book in the Runner's Moon series but it stands on its own and you do not need to have read the first book to enjoy it. Be warned, though. If you have not read the first book yet, odds are you will want to after reading this one. I know I do. ~ Alex , Coffee Time Romance
This novel was a pleasure to read. It flows so well from the first book in the series while at the same time being a separate stand-alone story. The author weaves this story together very smoothly. There is suspense from the threat of the Arra, not to mention a serial killer on the loose and the romance of Thom and Roni's growing relationship along with Roni's journey of personal growth. Roni is clearly a damaged young woman and the reader's heart will just go out to her. The author captures that depression and self-hatred in such a realistic way. I truly enjoyed this book from cover to cover. And can't wait for the next in the series. ~ AMG, The Romance Studio
Go, Ms. Mooney, Go. I am thoroughly intrigued by the species she has invented and am hooked on reading how they adapt to the human race and lifestyles. In Tiron you get your first look at a female of the Ruinos people. This is the second book in the series but can easily be read as a stand-alone book, though be warned it will make you want to go back and read the first offering. I look forward to another 29 stories about this wonderful group of survivors. ~ Tanya, Joyfully Reviewed
