Description
Will Payton’s pursuit for the truth be her last?
Payton Winters is thrust into the position of CEO of The Winters Corporation after the sudden death of her parents. Confronted with the knowledge she was born with special abilities, she finds herself in the dilemma of being a grounding force to people who possess psychic powers. She has unwillingly become the mental anchor to the one man she wants no part of, Collin McBain. While on a routine mission, Collin is drugged, tortured, and injected with wolf DNA. Now believed dead, he is secretly assigned to the Winters Campus.
Faced with the reality that her life is based on half-truths, Payton is on a pursuit to uncover her mother’s scientific research. She desperately needs to understand why she and her two sisters were genetically altered before birth. Payton’s path to discovery is littered with danger as she finds herself embroiled in a world of secrets, lies, kidnapping, and murder. She struggles to understand the events of the past in order to cope with her future.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
5 Stars ~ Lauren from Saints and Sinners Book Review
Joanne Jaytanie has delivered another amazing romantic tale littered
with suspense and intrigued. Payton’s Pursuit follows Victory Winters (sister
of the lead character of the first book of this series) and a former military
man named Collin. Collin’s kidnapping turned into a massive nightmare as he
became a human test subject by being injected with Wolf DNA. This foreign DNA
invasion leaves with him new, uncontrollable talents. He’s a danger to everyone
around him except Payton. She’s like his lightning rod. She grounds his wolfly
urges. With Payton’s help, they both seek the answers to his kidnapping and her
mother’s genetic research.
Jaytanie has created a literary world filled with
some of the most unique characters I’ve ever read about. Her ability to pull
you into the story makes you feel as if you are the lead character living in
this bat shit crazy world. Expanding on the characters, Joanne’s secondary
characters never feel as if they are the flower wavers in the background to the
lead characters. I love that we are given the chance to get to know them as
well. This series perfectly blends paranormal, romance, suspense, humor, and
intrigue all into one tightly, well-written bundle of goodness. Payton’s
Pursuit is howling-ly good!
5 Stars ~ Shelly Wygant , Reviewer with Nerd Girl
Payton's Pursuit is the second book about the Winters Sisters. You can
read it as a stand alone but will understand some things in the book better is
you read Chasing Victory, the first book.
Payton is the CEO of the Winters Corporation. She
does not have an psychic powers that she knows of. However when she is in the
presence of Collin she helps ground him. Victory recognizes this and helps
Payton discover and control her psychic powers. Collin is by Payton's side to
protect her and for her to help him deal with his anger.
Payton discovers more about her mother's DNA
research. Many surprises are in store for the sisters as the discover boxes of
their mothers journal about her personal life and her research. Biotech is
still in full force and are in control of Collin's half sisters. As Collin and
Payton grow closer the action comes out full force.
Once again Ms. Jaytanie writes a story of action,
suspense, and mystery. I love how the story taps in the paranormal realm. It is
not over the top. The secondary characters play a big part in the story and Ms.
Jaytanie does a great job of expanding on their abilities. She also makes the
genetics and DNA part of the story interesting as it unravels.
This is a great book with of action and mystery
with a great dose of paranormal and romance. I can't wait to read Willow's
story.
I received a gift copy in exchange for an honest
review. Review has been done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official.
5 Stars ~ I am beyond glad I did
By The Naughty Librarian
I absolutely could NOT put this book down. Ms Jaytanie is definitely part of my must reads from here out. The non stop action runs from cover to cover in this book. I am not normally a fan of scifi, and might not have tried it normally. I am beyond glad I did. To grab my interest on a topic such as genetics, and human testing is a huge step. Payton has one hell of a time in this book. From kidnapping, murder, mayhem, and sexual electricity. This book has it ALL.
5 Stars ~ An exciting mix of fantasy, romance, and thrills
By A. Mosa
Payton's Pursuit is the sequel to Chasing
Victory, which was also a five star read. Payton and her sisters have
discovered they were genetically altered before birth by their mother with
enhanced powers. What they don't know is exactly what was done and the extent
of their abilities. An unscrupulous corporation looking to "build"
the perfect soldier through mixing human DNA with that of a wolf is involved in
a determined search to find the sisters and the men who were the subjects of
the experiments after the men and sisters escape from the compound where they
were held.
This is a
roller coaster of a romantic story. Payton and Collin are a couple who can't
live with each other yet can't live without each other either or so they
think:) She is the force, the only psychic force, that can completely control
the violent emotions that remain from the experiments done on him. The problem
is: she has no idea how her power works and initially dislikes Collin an isn't
keen on helping him.
The
author who has three dobermans and has a good amount of experience with dog
shows, includes some fun scenes involving the canines and their owners.
If you
like paranormal romance with a little sci-fi, and action, then you'll
thoroughly enjoy Payton's Pursuit.
5 Stars ~ Another winner by Joanne!
By Melissa
The story continues and of course, there are those hot military men, strong women and sweet dobermans. I was constantly trying to guess what was going to happen next, but Joanne had me fooled and kept me engrossed in the story! Twists and turns worth reading to the end, which I love. Thank you Joanne for another great read! You have a lifetime fan and reader in me.
5 Stars ~ANOTHER WINNING NOVEL
By Grace Augustine
I could go on and on about the content of this wonderful book, but suffice it
to say, I won't. You will have to pick up a copy (which I highly encourage you
to do) and find out for yourself one of the best kept secrets in the reading
world....Ms. Joanne Jaytanie.
The unravelling of Biotec and The Kaleidoscope Group continues in this gripping
tale of intrigue in Payton’s Pursuit. Joanne Jaytanie is a master of excellent
story weaving including her descriptions of biological warfare and governmental
involvement, both putting many lives at stake. This is the 2nd book in the
Winters’ Sisters’ series. I cannot wait for Book 3 to find out what is next for
our super sleuths as they take out the bad guy and research personal issues
that affect all involved. A definite must have for your library. It certainly
is among my top ten all-time favorites that I’ve read

5Do not miss this series... FANTASTIC BySwedenmomon June 3, 2015 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase After reading the first book, I could not wait but was a little worried about buying the second. HOWEVER, this book was even better than the first! The author leaves you on the edge wondering what is going to happen next and how will it turn out. A page turner that you do not want to end. Surprises, romance, laughter, sorrow. All the elements of a super read! I cannot wait for book three!

Payton is one of three triplets. She manages Winters Corporation research campus. Her parents were killed in a car accident five years ago. Payton blacked out for thirty minutes in her sister Victory's home lab. She didn't tell anyone that there had been a couple of earlier episodes. Collin had another uncontrollable fit of rage, yet felt calm and serenity wrapped around him when Payton was there. Collin had been injected with wolf DNA.
This was an excellent book. I loved the way Payton and Collin evolved. This was different from anything I have read, but thoroughly enjoyable. Great characters and plot. Overall great book. I highly recommend it.
