Carlia Sanchez Denasko is a woman who's lost everything, twice. Nothing really matters to Carlia now, save her love of animals.

Alan Sato is a man with a secret. Little does anyone know that Carlia and Alan have much more in common than their martial arts sensei/student relationship.

Eduardo Garcia is bent on power. He�ll obtain as much of it as he possibly can, and by any means necessary. Bad to the bone and with no conscience, Garcia gives little care to who gets hurt in his quest for power.

A mysterious fire claims the lives of Carlia's adoptive parents. Saved only by the large panther she'd intended to study, and with thoughts of revenge, Carlia becomes La Pantera: Defender of the defenseless and bringer of justice against those who think themselves above the law.

With the help of the mysterious Ninja, La Pantera's on a mission. To bring justice to those who have none.

Scopilo shines with her fast paced, action packed, juicy work. She gives you just enough to leave you wanting more. Stay tuned for the next installment folks. The ride is just getting started.

Seven years have passed and Adam and Evan are the fathers, part of the creation process to help repopulate earth after disaster.  They head the land tribes made of varied species.  But they are unaware that beneath the waves, another set of fathers have developed species in order to kill and destroy.

When a centaur is killed by an unknown creature, a mer-man named Sharky, it sets off a cycle of events when the land creatures must prepare for war.  They capture the mer-man, who has discovered his mate was purposely killed, and he becomes a father of a new race of mer-creatures.  Together they form and train for the upcoming battle.

Meanwhile, Adam and Evan continue their passionate relationship from Paradise Earth 1, and love keeps them strong for the trials ahead.

This second installment sets up a huge amount of possibilities with the series.  So much goes on in a brief amount of time due to a fast growth hormone.  Some of the characters are born, grow, mature and die within a matter of a week.  Others have a year life-span, and several generations of creatures have come to pass in the time Adam and Evan from the first installment.  While this is a good sequel to the continuing saga, it wasn�t as good as the first.  Perhaps the books would have been better if the main focus was on entirely Sharky instead of splitting between him, and Adam and Evan, this reviewer would have found the entire story more engrossing.

On his way to a new life in Kentucky, Daniel Woods has a fall while crossing the Appalachian Mountains. He appears at Justine�s cabin a few days later leading his injured horse. Despite the fact she lives alone, Justine takes pity on the stranger and allows him and his horse the use of her stable while the horse recuperates.

More sensual than erotic, this story weaves a gentle mystery around the characters and the mountains. It is primarily a love story as two people who would never have met in normal circumstances come together in the beautiful yet remote location. Not a fast-paced book, the plot unfolds gradually and smoothly � a perfect accompaniment to the haunting mood.  

�Skipping Heaven� provides a sweet romance between intriguing characters.
I very much enjoyed this highly sensual book, and can recommend it as a very pleasant evening�s reading.
