The Moon Witch by Linda Winstead Jones

From the Publisher

Middle Fyne sister Juliet is kidnapped by the Emperor's men--only to be rescued by a man whose animal instincts tell him he's found the only woman to call his own.

Publishers Weekly

In the second volume in Jones's paranormal Fyne sisters trilogy (after The Sun Witch), middle sister Juliet learns to embrace her magical powers and attempts to break a curse that has shadowed her family for generations-a curse that dictates that any man they love will die by the age of 30. Eldest sister Isadora learned this the hard way when her husband died, and Sophie, the youngest, currently dreads the approach of her husband's 30th birthday. Brittle and reserved Juliet's recurrent nightmares of violent sexual encounters, meanwhile, have only reinforced her impulse to avoid men. But soon after the emperor's men kidnap Juliet, a man named Ryn steals her away from her abductors, claiming she is his intended wife. Initially horrified, especially after she learns that Ryn shape-shifts when the moon is full, Juliet soon comes to lust after and love this wild wolf/man. Though her transformation from quiet "seer" to queen of a unique group of beings will enthrall readers, the heavy focus on plot keeps Juliet a distanced and undeveloped heroine emotionally. Overall, this lushly imaginative novel suffers from too broad a focus, offering only cursory coverage of even the most climactic events in the lives of each sister. Agent, Richard Curtis.
