The Story:

I both adore Ms Feehan’s stories. The plots, characters and weaving of tales always grips me which is why I keep reading her books despite her dreadful habit of repeating things over and over and over and over and over until I want to scream. Seriously if I was reading a physical book I probably would have thrown it. This book was well paced but I think bogged down by excess sex scenes. Don’t get me wrong I like a hot interaction between characters but I think these could have been reduced by 30% and not have any effect on the story as we knew Ashe and Godiva (since when have the leopards had names?) were in heat. I did find myself drifting in an out a bit as I said excessive sex scenes and my anger at the repetitiveness caused major distractions. It took me 12 days to get through 12 disc which seems fair, honestly I was expecting it to take longer but eating lunch in my car gave me some pretty good chunks of reading time.

Overall I did enjoy the story. I like the friendship that developed between Evangeline and Ashe and I loved Ashe’s camaraderie with Jeremiah. Ms Feehan writes characters that I connect with effortlessly and that also keeps me coming back for more.

The Random Thoughts:

3.5 Stars ( )

Timur is a Russian leopard shifter and bodyguard to his brother and his wife. His family is hunted by their Uncles and they know they are all in danger. Ashe is on the run and hopes Evangeline’s husband can help her kill those that are after her and help her avenge her parents death. Her leopard hasn’t emerged yet but Timur’s leopard immediately claims her.
Their chemistry is explosive and once she realizes how much danger she has put everyone in she wants to run. Timur works hard to convince her to stay and once her leopard appears they are continually having off the charts erotic sex, in between fielding threats.

Overall this story is full of action, suspense and erotic romance. However there are also some consistency problems. In one scene Timur almost kills Uncle Gilbert and then a few days later Gilbert is healthy enough to attack Ashe? And how did he get free after his attack on Ashe and Timur? Earlier in the book they state all the windows in Evangeline’s shop had been replaced with bullet proof glass, then later in the story that same glass is shattered by bullets? These things pull me right out of the story and are very frustrating.
