Review: 

I have Rated each individual story below, but overall its a good selection of christmas Stories with a paranormal twist 
*** I voluntarily reviewed this book, I gained no monetary incentives nor was I specifically requested to review the book, these are my honest ramblings and I hope you enjoy reading them - kat***
#3Stars for WINTER'S MOON by R.M. Gilmore
Randy can guarantee the winter's moon will bring two things to her pack: fun and trouble. This year, she's not sure she'd ready either.
Review:
This was a good start to the book, but I am not hung up about a characters body shape, and I felt that the emphasis on the female characters 'chunky thighs' and ' soft stomach' distracted from the story, the Female character was named Randy, she is big and tough and in her forties, with the male Gage being a young ripped hunk. I enjoyed the power play going on in the pack, how the underlying bad element was trying to overtake Randy on her quest to bring the pack out of the bad influence it had been under with her dead husband.
#4Stars for PULL OF THE MOON by Becca Lee
Cadence, alpha to the Denton Pack, isn’t looking for a mate, nor is she looking for trouble, but both arrive in the form of Dane. This Christmas, Cadence will discover just how far she’s willing to protect what’s hers.
Review: this was a good and exciting Christmas romance - there is nothing like a sassy alpha woman who can kick baddies to the curb with her strong alpha mate. I hope I see these characters again.
#4stars for NOT EVEN A MOUSE by Dahlia Donovan
This Christmas, feather-tailed glider shifter, Kat Strudwick, and the polar bear shifter, Declan Garett, discover true love where they'd believed only the hell of unrequited love existed.
Review: well this was an unusual combination, but it was fun and cheerful and made me chuckle at the things Kat got up to as she grew up with Declan
#4.5stars for CURE FOR CHRISTMAS by Aimie Jennison
Santa can't perform miracles, but Blake has a risky offer that could answer all of Caitlin's prayers. How far would you go when all hope is gone?
Review: This story reminded me of the Christmas movies I love to watch on the TV, those stories that have a Christmas miracle.
Soulmates that accidentally meet while shopping for gifts, only to find that fate may take one away before then get to enjoy each others love.
I could have read a full novel about this couple and I was a bit sad when it ended.
#3.5Stars for SNOW'S CHRISTMAS WISH by Ashlea Rhodes
A chance encounter with a lone Vampire in a small town could lead to the fate Snow, a were on the run, had given up on. With magic in the air, can a Christmas wish come true for Snow and Ink?
Review:
This is the first book I have read of new author Ashley Rhodes and I enjoyed the story, and look forward to seeing what other stories she will being to her readers. But a vampire that can stand sunlight especially Australian heat was a bit off the track for me. Snow was a were who was both strong and yet vulnerable at the same time and I enjoyed their Christmas romance.
#3stars for THE WITCH AND THE WOLF by C.C. Wood
Candela wanted a distraction from her meddling family and found it in Blake. But will one night be enough for either of them?
Review: the story started out great, and I enjoyed the story but although I know that the author is constrained to a word count I would have preferred more character development and less sex.

so whats been happening
So whats been happening?  A lot! I've been busy. In May I was approached by Skyscape publishing, the children's arm of Amazon publishing about republishing WINTER WOLF, after negotiations I signed, and  WINTER WOLF will be republished in October. I can't wait to see it on bookshelves and look forward to seeing where this new adventure takes me :-)
I've been writing a few books; WOLF DANCER (NICO & OLIVIA's  STORY) is now finished and will be published after WINTER WOLF'S republish. I'm also working on book 2 WOLF SIGHT (Cage's story)
My next release is a Novella, (Release date: November 15th 2015) which is part of a group author series called WOODLAND CREEK. I'm quite excited about this project, the main characters Becca, and Aster, are strong willed, and smart mouthed. Aster is a Minotaur, it's been exciting working on a shifter, far grittier than my Wolves. This love story is sure to be explosive, and full of red, hot, passion. Below is a sneak peak. Enjoy!

Goodreads
*Copyright Rachel M Raithby - subject to change unedited.
Becca hadn’t had a blessed life. Though recently she thought it was reaching an all-time low. Even being tossed from one foster home to the next her entire childhood, was beginning to seem like heaven compared to the last few months.
Her life drained the very essence from her. Every day she witnessed horrible acts she could never erase from her mind. Becca was trapped, a prisoner, yet her captor didn’t see it as such.
At seventeen Becca had run away from her final foster home; deciding she’d rather chance the streets than live with the foster dad with wandering hands. After a year things began to take there toll, thieving for food wasn’t easy, and no one wanted to employ a homeless woman who’d not even finished school. The day she met Alex Scar was a turning point in her life. At the time she’d thought it was for the better, but how very wrong she’d been.
Alex Scar had many talents. His best though; wearing a mask. Alex Scar could turn from safe, handsome, nice guy to the leader of a drug cartel within seconds. He’d worn his mask for months, luring Becca into his trap. He gave her a home, a job, and he wanted nothing for it in return…well for the first six months at least.
Becca knew she was beautiful…sexy even. When she had nice clothes and a place to live, her dark brown hair glimmered almost black. Her blue eyes shined when she had no worries on her shoulders, and her smile was infectious and easily given. For six months Alex had only been a friend, he’d given her a new life, and not once attempted to want anything more. The night he’d first touched her he’d been gentle and sweet, his kiss had been light, teasing, leaving her wanting more.
I never do this Bec…The girls I help, I never have any intention of wanting anything from them, but you Becca, you are the sweetest of them all…I can’t help myself.
His words, and his smooth tone, had captured Becca in his spell, and for a while she’d been happy. Yet eventually Alex’s mask began to slip. She witnessed glimpses of his real nature, and his real life. By the time Becca wanted out. She’d seen and heard too much. Becca’s only out was death.
So here she was; just twenty and girlfriend to Alex Scar, leader of the drug cartel in Detroit. Alex kept her by his side like a trophy. He knew she hated what he did, and it seemed to only please him more. He loved torturing her mind, loved to make her watch his interrogations. He also enjoyed hitting her when she stepped out of line.
Becca often wondered whether she had a limit. When would the point arrive when she couldn’t take anymore? What would finally make her snap?
“Come here Bec.”
Becca glanced up plastering a smile on her face as she gazed at Alex. There was a new shipment in, and Alex and his crew where sampling the goods. Becca never touched the stuff, and Alex had never forced her too…yet.
“Yes?” she asked sweetly, as she approached. Pulling the hem of her dress down, Becca felt eyes on her. Alex chose her clothes, he told her what to wear.
“Stop fiddling,” Alex scolded, slapping her thigh. “Come, sit on my lap.”
Swallowing her revulsion, Becca complied. She hated nights when Alex got high; he always got too rough.
“My sexy sweet thing,” Alex cooed, taking hold of her breast and squeezing tightly. “Show me how grateful you are Becca.”
Sliding her hands up his body, Becca’s mind went blank as she retreated deep into herself, and performed  an act she’d done many times with no thought. She didn’t feel anything when she kissed, and touched Alex Scar. It was like she wasn’t home; she’d left her body, and it acted on its own accord. Becca felt dead on the inside, with each time she died a little more, yet she could see no way out.
Feeling extra hands on her, Becca snapped back to herself and pulled away as Tony, Alex’s right hand man groped her.
“Get off!” Becca yelled, venom in her tone.
Tony looked shocked she’d even spoke. His eyes narrowed, anger filled his features. She wasn’t quick enough to miss his strike, he clipped the side of her face and she fell back onto the floor and scrambled away. Her eyes met Alex’s, pleading him to say something, to stop this, but Alex laughed, delighted with this new game.
“Get back here Bec,” he order patting the hard bulge between his legs.
“What?” Becca whispered, her eyes looking from Tony to Alex. “But I’m yours?”
“Yes you are. I own you Becca, and I want you here on my lap, and you’ll let Tony do as he pleases.”
Her legs moved on their own. Her mind screamed in protest but nothing seemed to respond. They pulled at her, touching her, and stripping her body of her clothes. She felt their damp skin rubbing against her but saw none of it, registered none of it.
Her back met the floor, as Alex loomed above her, ripping the last shred of clothing from her body. A tear rolled from her eye as Tony’s cock hovered above her face.
“Now be a good girl and open up,” Tony sneered.
With one last pleading glance at Alex, Becca complied. I really do have no limit…
The door burst open.
“I’m busy!” Alex growled.
“I’m sorry Boss but this is urgent.”
Alex’s hands dug painfully tight into her thighs. “I’ll finish with you later… Enjoy Tony.”
For one hopeful second Becca had thought she’d been saved. Yet Alex stood, pulled on his jeans and then left, closing her in the room with Tony.
“At last I have you all to myself.” Tony smiled.
Becca snapped. Scrambling away she turned to escape, only to be pulled back. Her head hit the coffee table painfully and the stack of cocaine tumbled to the floor, sending white puffs of clouds into the air.
“Bitch, you’re going to pay for that.”
“No…please.”
Her begging only enticed him more, and as he neared her entrance, Becca turned her head away unable to watch. Her eyes focused on the contents she’d knocked from the coffee table; bags of cocaine, cigarettes and a gun, half hidden under a newspaper.
Becca had always wondered if she had a limit. What vile act would send her over the edge? She knew there was a high probability she’d not leave the warehouse alive, and even if she did, Alex would never stop hunting her, yet her hand clasped the gun. The metal felt oddly right in her hand, her finger found the trigger and as she aimed. Tony laughed not expecting her to shoot, but whether she lived or died, Becca wouldn’t allow herself to be loaned out to Alex’s men…She’d reached her limit, and she fired.

INTO YOU
by Riley J. Ford
  It happens in the movie theater when I finally kiss Ethan Cooper. Her body rocks, I hear him say, except he doesn’t speak. Not out loud, anyway. At first I think it’s someone whispering behind us. Then I wonder if Miranda’s playing a joke on me until I remember she’s sitting four seats away making out with Billy Timmons. When Ethan’s lips touch mine again and I hear his voice—she needs a breath mint—loud and clear like a TV announcer in my brain, I yank back and stare at him. My neck prickles with fear and my heart pounds hard. What the hell is going on? “Did you say something?” I ask. I hope he has some kind of ventriloquist powers and I’m not losing my mind. “Uh, no. I was in the middle of kissing you.” He sort of laughs, his fingers stroking my neck. I pull away and look at the screen. Julia Roberts blathers on about something with her big horse teeth. My heart races uncontrollably, thumping so loudly I can almost hear my ribs rattling, and not because I’ve just kissed the boy who I’ve crushed on since June. No, it’s racing because something really freaky has just happened—twice—and I can’t deny it. “What’s wrong?” Ethan asks. I can feel him staring at me in the dark. “You said I need a breath mint,” I mutter. I wait for him to react. After all, it was his voice I’d heard. It just happened to be inside my head when he said it. But maybe he was playing some sort of trick on me. Maybe I’m mistaken. I sure hope so. Ethan is quiet for a long moment before speaking. “Uh, I didn’t realize I said it out loud.” “So you did say it?” Someone behind us shushes us. “I must have,” he says. “How weird.” “Well, thanks a lot for telling me I have bad breath. Makes a girl feel real special.” “Hey, don’t be pissed. I didn’t mean it in a bad way.” As if there’s a good way to mean it. I slump down in my seat. Inside I’m actually sort of relieved. Ethan did say it out loud. Not inside my head. Maybe I’m just tired. Or whacked out on soda. All that caffeine can mess you up, especially those huge paper tankers of soda they sell at the movies. I would hate to think I have a mental problem or am crazy or something. Being a normal girl from Redondo Beach suits me fine, a normal girl about to enter her junior year of high school who is just enjoying her summer. I go to the beach with my best friend Miranda, talk about boys, hit the mall, eat cheese fries with ranch dressing, experiment with different kinds of make-up, and watch TV after dinner. Nothing too out-of-the-ordinary or weird has ever happened to me—unless you count the time I made a half-court throw at a RBHS game and won a hundred dollars and a wheel of Brie. See, being normal is exhausting enough. Definitely no room in my life for being psychic or reading minds! Ethan pokes my arm. “You okay?” “What’s good about bad breath?” I whisper, moving my body away from him. My face is hot, stinging with embarrassment. I shouldn’t have had those grilled onions on my burger before our date. What was I thinking? Dragon breath is not an accessory a girl should wear. “Dude, it’s really no big,” he says. “Just get some gum later, okay?” More shushing behind us, loudly. I sit fuming in silence, not knowing if I should get up and leave or what. But then Ethan’s arm snakes slowly around my shoulders and that tingle returns—the one I’ve gotten every time I’ve seen him at the hot dog place where he works at the mall. I’ve spent all summer going there, using every cent of my allowance on corn dogs, hot dogs, fries, mozzarella sticks, and lemonades (and gaining a friggin’ five pounds because of it), just so I could see him. I finally got up my courage to give him my phone number, and he’d grinned and said he would call. He finally did, and now here we are with Miranda and her sometimes-boyfriend sitting four seats away while I try not to breathe oily onion fumes on this hot guy with spiked blonde hair and a nice laugh. “I’m sorry,” he whispers in my ear. He leans in and kisses me again with those soft full lips that I’ve stared at for so long. His face this close feels nice. He’s so cute. If he doesn’t mind my breath, I shouldn’t either. Okay, Winter, chill, I tell myself. I’ll just go buy some mint gum the second we leave the theater. Ethan’s lips are warm and moist on mine. I relax against his body. What’s her problem? She’s acting so uptight. His voice reverberates through my head again. And it is definitely in my head because his mouth is still on mine! I didn’t mean to mention the breath, but if she’s gonna be so lame about it, I’ll ditch her after the flick and go find my bros. Who needs this shit? Chicks come into Diggety Dog a dime a dozen, and I can have any of them. There’s always another ho around the corner. I yank out of Ethan’s embrace, my body trembling. What is happening? His voice was in my brain, loud and clear and unmistakable. Am I losing my mind? I need to know. “Why would you talk to me like that?” I ask. “It’s rude.” I hope he’ll admit he was messing with me, talking out the side of his mouth or something, joking in a lame sort of way. “I didn’t say anything.” Ethan’s tone sounds pinched, weird. “Yes, you did. I heard you say you’re going to ditch me to hang out with your bros, that I’m uptight, that girls are a dime a dozen, and that there’s always another ho around the corner!” Anger seizes me. “Did you just call me a ho?” A voice behind us hisses loudly, “Quiet!” Ethan doesn’t say anything. His silhouette is stiff, like a cardboard cutout of himself. He jumps up. “I’m outta here!” Then he’s gone, loping up the aisle.

MADE TO FORGET
by Samantha LaFantasie
  ALL AT ONCE, THE weight and darkness lifted. I sucked in a deep breath, sitting up in the cloudlike bed. Immediately, I found that abominable man staring out the window. I left the bed, fueled by anger. I approached, stopping before I got too close to strangle him. “What the hell did you do to me?” “What was necessary to keep you here … and safe.” “According to who?” I snapped. “The man that loves you and would turn this world upside down if it meant keeping you safe.” He sounded despondent, continuing to stare out the window. “I’ve got news for him–if he even exists–keeping me prisoner and taking my memories from me isn’t love, it’s torture. If he really loved me, he’d be here and I would have answers. Besides, now I’m getting a headache.” A throb started at my left temple and pulsed through my head. “He loves you more than he loves his own people. That’s why your father was angry. As soon as your relationship was discovered, he disowned you and refused to listen to any reason. Even when he was told the truth about you. You must have thought the man who loves you was worth it, at one point.” “He—he’s Nepherium?” “Yes,” he said, barely above a whisper. “I guess that makes sense,” I said. He turned to me with eyes wide, full of questions. “My dad said I was mixing blood with them. He was in such a heated rage I barely understood what he said. But there’s more that I need to know.” “What’s that?” he asked. “Why would my lover want me to forget him?” “He hoped that while you couldn’t remember, you’d stay alive. He could protect you and finish the mission.” The way he looked at me, pulling me in, made me weak in the knees. “And how would he feel about the way you’re looking at me?” I asked before I could stop the words. He blinked away, turning his attention to the window before sighing and taking a seat in the shadowed chair. I pushed further. “Or about knocking me out before bringing me here?” He leaned forward on his knees, covering his face with his hands. “I’m …” I waited a few seconds for him to continue. When he didn’t, I wondered if I heard anything at all. “What?” “You have to understand, for him, he’d move the moon and stars to keep you safe. He did the only thing he could to save your life.” “And you? What is your place in all of this? Why did you give me a ring to cover up a strange tattoo? Why can’t I see him?” “I’m your partner. It is my job to protect you. I can’t answer the last one.” “Can’t or won’t?” I retorted. “Pick one,” he snapped. “You told me if I thought I could kill you, you’d let me, because you deserved it. What did you do that would warrant me killing you?” “Please understand, this is more difficult than giving simple answers to your questions. It’s far more complicated.” I smiled at him, because it was the only thing I could do with his ridiculous beating around the bush. He sat up, seemingly disarmed by my small action.
