Astin Pharmaceutical and Biotech has its share of mad scientists. Someone is using the facility to develop and experiment with unauthorized synthetic substances.

Delaine Jeris, a top investigator for the highly secretive Aegis Group, is tasked with getting the goods on this crackpot who is using his scientific genius to create his own personal harem. Delaine’s Lakota spirit guide, a sleek, black mountain lion named Sapa, aids her in the investigation. After her heartbreaking split from the man she was married to for eighteen years, Delaine is in no hurry to love anytime soon. But when the great lioness meets Justin Cooley, the cat is convinced he is their mate. Delaine isn’t so sure.

The first time Justin Cooley lays eyes on Delaine, he’s dying to get next to her. She is a beautiful, cocoa skinned woman with an enticing mix of strength, class, and feminine grace. There’s one problem – he’s seen her walking around in a secret part of the Astin Pharmaceutical and Biotech facility that she had no clearance to enter. What was she doing down in those labs? Is she in league with the corrupt scientist he’s tailing? Or is she a mole who could blow his case, or worse, his cover?

When Delaine discovers the man she’s given her heart to is undercover D.E.A., she is beyond livid. Has the great lioness, who has guided Delaine since she was a child, been wrong about Justin? Should she kick his butt for not being honest about his undercover status, considering he’s been working her case? Or should she simply shoot him for sleeping with her best friend?

Reviews

Four Stars from Romantic Times
Brava to aged heroines who are single moms in this erotica tale, which deals with not only hot sex but also with a woman who has a secret life and isn’t afraid to be herself. Move over, Secret Agent Man, Michaels’ heroine, Delaine, is a spy queen. Her moves on the sheets and off make this a page-turner.

Four Stars from Just Erotic Romance Reviews
In the beginning, PRIMED TO POUNCE was slow, but once the world building was accomplished, it got very good, very fast. Delaine and Justin endear themselves to the reader without effort. They fall in love quickly but our heroine denies herself because of past experiences. That only means the seduction and the sex are really great, while Justin convinces her they belong together. Baker is the consummate evil villain; so much so, he is almost laughable, but he does serve to keep the suspense going and the action moving. The writer’s voice seemed a little amateurish to me at times, but the story is so good it is easy to overlook. All in all, PRIMED TO POUNCE by T. J. MICHAELS is a fun and delightful story with spicy sex and great suspense both in the love story and the plot. I recommend it to every fan of paranormal and romantic suspense.
