Austin Bell, survivor of Hurricane Katrina, had his life changed by an act of nature. Trying to find a job and make his way in the world, he is about to be evicted because he cannot pay his rent. While watching storms over the water, he comes across one of the most beautiful men Austin has ever seen, lying injured in the surf. Something about him is definitely unusual.

Luke Cordova, the last of his race, was taken as a small boy from his world and raised under the auspices of treasure hunter, Carson Cordova, a harsh taskmaster with no problem using physical force to keep Luke in line. Luke has known he was gay for years, and his encounters with Austin confirm this. Changing the circumstances in which he lives will not be easy, but for Austin's sake, as well as his own, he must try.

Carson Cordova's desire for power and riches destroyed many lives, including those of Luke's family. He is determined to use Luke to find a crystal idol shaped like an octopus and rumored to hold immense power. Luke is even more determined to stop him. Seeking help from Dr. Andrew Martin, The Collector, seems like his best course of action. With Dr. Martin's assistance, will Luke and Austin succeed in thwarting Carson's plans?

Eight Arms to Hold You is a most unique and refreshing book. I love shape shifters, but would have never thought that an octopus shifter could be sexy. Yet Luke is so hot the pages should have melted. Ms. Blue creates characters that grab the attention and hearts of readers. The suspense level of the plot makes this story even more exciting. If you are looking for something entirely different with a high level of sensuality, this is the book for you.
