title: Iron Kissed (Mercy Thompson, Book 3)
author:  Patricia Briggs 
description: Shape-shifter Mercy Thompson has a complex life, juggling two werewolf lovers and a job working for a fae mechanic; things get even more hectic when her boss and mentor is arrested for killing a citizen of the fae reservation. As the fae seem content to let him rot, Thompson takes it on herself to clear her friend's name, beginning a lone-wolf investigation that may cost her life. Briggs's third novel featuring Thompson (after <I>Blood Bound</I>) is another top-notch paranormal mystery; her well-balanced contemporary world, where humans live uneasily among werewolves and fae, is still a believably lived-in world; the ever-present threat of government legislation against nonhumans (though familiar to <I>X-Men</I> fans) adds weight to her paranormal elements, and thoughtfully researched mythology adds rich detail. Thompson is a sharp, strong heroine and her lycanthropic love triangle is honest and steamy. Briggs never shies from difficult material, and she moves effortlessly from werewolf pack psychology to human legal proceedings, making this a tense, nimble, crowd-pleasing page-turner. <I>(Jan.)</I> <BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  Being a female mechanic on a space station for eight years has taught Dawn a
  lot of tough life lessons that have hardened her heart. She"s got a temper and
  a mouth to match her red hair and has never backed away from a challenge. Then
  she"s kidnapped and blackmailed into agreeing to be a cyborg"s personal sex
  slave.
  
  
  
  
  
  Iron is one big bastard with long, fiery red hair, intense, dark blue eyes and
  a stubborn streak as thick as his dense muscles. If Iron thinks he can tame
  her, he"s about to learn that
  
  
  “meek” is not in Dawn"s vocabulary. But with that handsome face, a body to die
  for, a wickedly talented tongue and those magical hands, the guy just doesn"t
  fight fair.
  
  
  
  
  
  Dawn is intent on melting Iron"s icy resolve to never fall in love with a
  human. He"s winning her heart and she"s determined to win his right back.
