"Before the Moon Rises" [Ritter Werewolves Series, Book 1] by Catherine Bybee
My Book Summary : Towards the end of her night shift Janet--a nurse at the county hospital--deals with her last unconscious patient, Max, of the night only to have him wake up on her in the middle of his exam and have her world completely change when he asks her out for breakfast. Against her better judgment, Janet agrees to bring him home so he can change, into some clothes of his own, before they head out to eat. Once at his place she finds there is more to him than meets the eye, especially after a little later on in the day when he agrees to protect her from whoever broke into her home...
However, Max has a big secret he's keeping--he's a werewolf. And after meeting her at the hospital, he knows there is something special about her that draws him to her. Yet when he finds that his enemy has targeted Janet to be his next victim, Max decides to protect her by any means necessary. Now if he can just keep his secret while they get to know each other everything might be okay...
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! This is a story about an unusual meeting and beginning of a romance between two soul mates. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Max and Janet. They were a fun, speed-loving couple.
The only things I'm curious about are what happened to them once the story ended (meaning I wish there was an epilogue) and how did Max get all of his money? Was his family rich? It's a question that's been plaguing me ever since I finished the novella.
I recommend this novella to anyone who likes paranormal and werewolf romances!

Book Teaser(s) :
“So, Janet, what movie should we watch?”For more information on this book, series, and/or any other books by Catherine, then please check out her website.
Janet followed him into the den, completely at home with her personal bodyguard. She turned her attention to the movie selections. They were entirely male. Not one ‘chick flick’ to be found. Picking something at random, she handed it to Richard.
He checked the title and starting laughing.
“What is it?”
“Oh, man. You have no idea.” He kept up the chuckles and fired up the DVD. “I’ll get the popcorn.”
Richard left the room, laughing hysterically.
Janet tucked her feet under her and removed the throw from the back of the couch. The opening credits of “An American Werewolf in London” hit the screen.
Richard returned five minutes later, though the telltale smell of popcorn hit her senses first. “I hope you added extra butter.”
“A woman after my own heart,” he said before plopping down the bowl of popcorn.
A yelp behind the couch had Janet tense into a rigid sit. ~ within Chapter 4
