Shifting Lust 1: The Chamelyon's Curse by Lexxie Couper From the site: Two solar years ago, Chamelyon shape-shifter Kyra Issarei fled from the man she loved to save his life. Now held captive as a sexual pawn in an intergalactic battle for supremacy, it is that very man who will defy death to save her life.

Working as a body-decoy isn't exactly the safest job in the galaxy, but Kyra hadn't planned on being deceived by her latest client, Xia, the virgin Princess of the Five Moons. Trapped in the not-so-virginal Princess's form, Kyra is mistakenly taken hostage by the sadistic Murukhan Warlord Mur'dek, who plans to use the Lunarian princess to further his galactic domination - and satisfy his own sexual appetites. With Xia's insatiable lust running rampant in her head, Kyra knows she will become an all too willing participant in the Warlord's brutal seduction. That means she's in a whole world of danger because when she orgasms, she will briefly revert to her true form. And Mur'dek wants nothing more than to kill Kyra Issarei, last of the Chamelyon shape-shifters.

After reading a review for this book, I decided that I had to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. I loved so much about this book. I found myself thoroughly intrigued from the get go wondering what Kyra was doing, and very interested in the situations that she ends up in. I loved Kyra's character, not only because of what she does, but also because of what a strong person she is, never ready to give up.

Lexxie Couper did a fantastic job with this book, with incredible protagonists and awesomely repugnant antagonists. Some of the sex scenes threatened to melt down my computer, the action was great and provided wonderful examples of how Kyra is constantly thinking on her feet even as her body is betraying her.

I am anxiously awaiting more books from Ms. Couper and am happy to say that I scooped up a copy of her contribution to the Changeling Press' Christmas offerings 12 Nights of Christmas: Batteries Not Included as soon as it was available.
