A few months back I had received an ARC of Lisa Kessler's Moonlight, and ever since I will read anything she puts out. Lisa and author RL Mathewson are the whole reason I now read books in the paranormal genre. Needless to say when I was offered an ARC of Beg Me To Slay, I jumped at the chance. I love, love, love the fact that she writes strong heroines. Most romances, whether contemporary, paranormal, whatever, have whiny weak heroines. It's so nice to read something different. Yes, Tegan has issues, but she doesn't sit around crying. I loved that she refused to be a victim, but also was smart enough to look for help when she needed it. I loved that she wasn't content to sit around while someone else fought her battles, she joined right in.Tegan, while at college, was attacked one night after meeting someone in a bar. She barely escaped, but when she did she was left with one physical scar and many emotional scars. She decided to not be a victim ever again, and became a black belt. She's turned that into a business and opened a dojo, but also does some at home data entry to help pay the bills. While working one night, she witnesses an attack on a web cam of her favorite beach. She recognizes the attacker.Gabe, a P.I., who also specializes in paranormal investigation, meets with a possible new client (Tegan), and immediately recognizes the physical scar she bares from the attack. He, unlike the police, believe her. He realizes she's in danger, and as a slayer, it's his job to protect her.
