Reya Daines has dedicated her life to the conservation of Jaguars. With the only bed breakfast at the entrance to Cockscomb Jaguar Sanctuary, she can keep an eye on poachers and still indulge her guests in her first love - scuba diving. But something unusual is happening on the reserve and the big cats are restless. Something has invaded their habitat. And that something wants Reya.
Aaron James is a hard nut to crack. A shrewd businessman and always determined to see to his own affairs, he finds he can’t quite take care of things himself after his plane goes down in the jungles of Belize. The woman who rescues him is a loner, just like him. But he finds he doesn’t want her to be a loner, unless she’s alone with him. When he learns she’s in danger by the same menace she’s saved him from twice, what’s a determined man to do with an equally stubborn woman? Tie her to a bed? Now that has potential…
Four/Five Stars from Just Erotic Romance Reviews
JAGUAR’S RULE is a hot sticky erotic romance. Aaron suffers from the last child syndrome. He doesn’t want his older family taking care of him, even though he is injured. Intelligent, strong and resourceful he is frustrated that he can’t take care of himself but is very happy to be in Reya’s hands. Reya is as feisty heroine. She is smart, works harder than she probably should, and is afraid of nothing except getting her heart broken. T.J. MICHAELS takes you on a full ride with this sweeping story. I especially enjoyed the rain forest scenes. You could feel hot steamy jungle and the branches scratching your face. The sex was hot. I could feel the emotional connection between the characters. The secondary characters provide some very entertaining moments in the story and round it out nicely. I was unable to figure out the bad guy until right before he was unveiled, so that was exceptional writing. Overall, this is a good hot erotic romance. If you like suspense, sexy men, and hot sex then JAGUAR’S RULE will be a very enjoyable story for you.

Four Hearts from The Romance Studio
JAGUAR’S RULE is a delightfully well written romance/mystery/shifter/thriller story, seamlessly woven into an interesting and exciting read. The plot is flawlessly executed and the characters remain true. The sex is passionate and intense. Even wounded Aaron is aware and considerate of Reya’s needs and attuned to her desires. She is everything he’s ever dreamed of having in a lover. Since Reya has a twin sister and Aaron has brothers, I am hoping this is the first in a series of books about the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary. I would love to read more about this beautiful world and the characters who inhabit it. I highly recommend JAGUAR’S RULE to lovers of paranormal erotic romance.

Four and a Half Blue Ribbon Review by Romance Junkies
JAGUAR’S RULE is the second book I have read by TJ MICHAELS and she is fast becoming one of my favorite authors and an auto buy on my list. Reya is strong willed and courageous, she never backs down from a fight or an argument. Aaron is the sexy hero who gets stranded on the jaguar preserve while he recovers from his injuries. The sparks fly between them from the second they interact. The love scenes pulsate with intense passion that will leave readers breathless. TJ MICHAELS knows how to weave a tale of desire and suspense that will keep readers on the edge of their seat. I can’t wait to see what adventures her next book will bring.

Aaron flipped open the phone and held it out to her, then changed his mind, realizing he would have to release her hands.
“Tell me the number,” he ground out. His erection, pressed tight against his zipper, bordered on pain.
“What? You want me to think now?” she protested.
A self-satisfied smile spread over his face. So she couldn’t think, eh? Good. He’d make sure she was flat-out mindless as soon as the phone call was made. She would think of no one but him. Not Trefor, not Marc. Nobody. Just him.
Deliberately teasing her, grinding his cock against her fluttering belly, he said again, “The number, Reya. Tell it to me.”
She spit out the numbers between gasps. He keyed it in, and held the phone against her ear while his mouth played with her skin.
“H-Hello? Hi, this is…oh god!” she screeched, when he’d given her a full, open mouthed lick from her collarbone up to her ear. “T-This is Reya Daines. Sorry, I, I’ll need you to…Jesus!” He bit the sensitive spot on her shoulder. “I c-can’t make it to my dive appointment. Please have Shelly down in Hopkins take the crew out for me. She’s on stand by, thankfully.”
Aaron disconnected the call, tossed the phone into the grass next to her duffel and pulled her hard against his body. She felt so good, and he’d missed her so much he just couldn’t hold himself back or away from her any longer.
“Baby, I’ve missed you the past couple of days. Take your shirt off. If I do it, I’ll rip it to shreds.”
“Then rip it,” she whispered. Her gray eyes, so much like his, gleamed with passion.
He grabbed the top of her shirt and buttons flew in all directions as it fell open and hung loosely about her shoulders. He fell on her like a parched man who’d just discovered a fresh cool drink of water and kissed her everywhere his lips could reach. Her lush, swollen breasts boasted nipples like chocolate candies, her skin like silken cocoa. And it was all his.
So attuned to her arousal, he felt every shudder, every quiver as he all but devoured her until she was a moaning, whimpering mass of want. Kneading her breasts in his large hands, Aaron’s mouth moved from one to the other, tasting, sucking, until her knees knocked together.
“Aaron,” she gasped. “Oh, god, baby I need more. Please…”
Down on his knees now, he unbuttoned her camo pants and slid them down to her ankles. Her strong fingers tangled in his hair as her body undulated like waves breaking over a sandy beach, rushing and eager for fulfillment. He’d always been into the Barbie doll type, but after Reya, he could never go back to such skinny fare. The flare of Reya’s ample hips held him in thrall, reaching east and west below a trim waist. And so luscious, he wanted nothing more than to slide into her until she was stuffed full of him.
“I love your body, Reya, your wide hips, your big firm ass. And your stomach, all lean and toned. A man would kill for your washboard abs. But…” he paused, kissing a path down to the cropped mound of her woman’s place, “Most of all, I love your pussy. It’s like a Dove ice cream bar. Dark chocolate on the outside, creamy and sweet on the inside.”
His mouth slid between her dewy lips, latched onto her clit, and sucked for all he was worth. She screamed.
When her knees buckled her caught her, lifted her high and ground his jean covered erection against her wet mound. Slamming his mouth down over hers he savored her deep moan as she tasted herself on his tongue. It was the most erotic dance he’d ever experienced. But his woman was insatiable. She wanted more, and wasn’t afraid to ask for it.
“Aaron, oh baby. Please. Now.” Her words pulled at his gut. She was ravenous, starving. Her fingers reached down to massage the bulge in his pants, and then a harsh groan emanated from deep in his chest as she unerringly yanked open his belt and unbuttoned his jeans in short order.
“I want you. Deep. Right now,” she breathed, each word sending a jolt of sensation directly to his much-too-tight balls.
“You want it? Then take it.”
