4.5 starsJamie Morrison is a reporter on a mission. Once before, she attempted to interview the illusive author Galen Hawke and it didn't turn out quite like either expected. Now her editor has sent her back to Galen's mountain and told her not to come home without the story, or else.  What's a girl to do? In Jamie's case, can she go to Galen again and see if she can get him to open up this time?After a terrible accident, Galen has become even more of a loner then he was the first time Jamie came calling. He has his groceries delivered and rarely leaves his mountain retreat.  The last thing he needs is one sexy reporter tramping up his mountain in a snowstorm, no less, bothering him. And, boy, does Jamie bother him.Both Jamie and Galen will have to open up to each other and try to decide if they can overcome the obstacles in their way or if Jamie should just go on her way.  Passion, snow and an animal attraction like no other just might be either their undoing or their salvation.One word describes Ms. Piñeiro's writing style in Night of the Cougar, HOT.  I could probably use a few more words, but suffice to say that one word is enough.  Teetering on the verge of erotica, this is a quick, short novella that will make the reader want to take a hike up a mountain and just hope they get snowed in with the likes of Galen.  Don't be fooled though. Yes, there are hot, steamy, heart beating, face flushing scenes in this book, but there is also a darn good tale to be told.  Jamie and Galen are both strong, independent people. Needless to say when two Type A people get together, sparks will fly.  Stubborn might be a better word than independent, and boy do Jamie and Galen both have that trait in common.  Galen is all about sacrificing his feelings for Jamie in order to protect her.  Jamie is all about figuring out what Galen's problem is and if it can be overcome. Don't think for one minute you can send her packing until she does, Mr. Big Bad Writer Man.Lovers of the shifter genre will get their fix with this book. Lovers of a good steamy scene or two will get their fix with this book. Lovers of strong no nonsense characters will get their fix. Well, heck, just about anyone should enjoy this book, take my word for it.  My only complaint, it just wasn't long enough for me to get settled in, it was over too quick, but even though I didn't get enough of my fix but I sure did enjoy the ride.Reviewed as a Member of the Paranormal Romance Guild Review Team--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
