There was some storyline. There was some humour. There were some generic enhancements. There were some really overdone sex scenes.

I liked the heroine for the most part, she was strong and sassy and confident in who she was; although she hadn't figured out her own superpower ... Really?!

He was a cool letting male. Just Wednesday Thursday Friday! What was up with those 4 pages of sex to a half page of storyline and then more sex ... aaaand some more sex ... oh wait! Storyline ... Not. The sex. Then a ton of storyline to catch you up on what the whole book was supposed to have been building up to ... with a little sex as a parting gift. ( )

Listened to audio narrated by Brianna Bronte. When I read this years ago, Megan came across as a strong woman with a problem with her abilities. The narrator makes her sound a lot more vulnerable and weak in the beginning, but does turn the narration around to the strong woman I remember.

Futuristic Paranormal bodice ripper kind of read. Not very politically correct in this era of Me Too.

Braden is all pushy alpha, lion Beed, he pushes Megan out of her comfort zone, making her confront her fears, as well as threaten her with spankings, but he also empowers her. Megan is an empath and after an incident in training she has been hiding. Braden pushes and bullies her into spreading her wings again, while trying to find the spy in her department and save her from those who would harm her. Jonas comes on the scene and makes even more trouble.

Lots of steamy, dominant sex, but our heroine proves herself a strong, capable fighter. I liked that about this story, even if I didn't always like Braden's tactics. We also get to learn more about the Breeds and other characters. Good read but if your not into bodice ripper type stories you may not enjoy this story.

Megan's Mark is a typical Leigh novel. Breed male finds his mate, she resists the bonding but cannot help herself. Male feels the need to dominate, etc. I didn't enjoy the romance so much in this story as I found Megan to be quite annoying. I did find the political aspects of the Breeds interesting.

Megan's Mark
4 Stars

Synopsis:
Megan Fields, an empath who has a hard time shielding herself from the emotions of others, finds solace in the peace and quiet of the New Mexico desert until the day she finds the bodies of two breeds. As a sheriff’s deputy, Megan is partnered with Braden Arness, an arrogant feline assassin, in the search for the killers. Megan and Braden clash in every way but must learn to trust each other because someone is out for Megan’s blood.

Review:
Definite improvement in terms of plot and writing over previous books in the series. The sex scenes are still steamy with a capital S but are not as overwhelming as before, more information is provided concerning the Breeds’ life in the labs and the story is more action than character driven.

Nevertheless, the characters are very appealing even if they could be more developed. Megan is a kick butt heroine and is a match to Braden in every way. They are both adrenaline junkies and their extrasensory powers are complimentary. One aspect of Megan’s character that bothered me was her constant rejection of her abilities and Braden’s attempts to help her in this area. While Braden is not my favorite Breed, he is still a super-hot alpha male and he truly cares about Megan. It did annoy me that he was constantly trying to dominate her but she could definitely hold her own against him.

Similar to Elizabeth’s Wolf, the villain is seriously sick and disturbed but once again there is not enough detail regarding his actions and his obsession with Megan as well as his spies at Sanctuary. The final confrontation with him is, however, quite satisfactory.

The character who interests me the most is Jonas and I really want to know more about him, especially following the cliffhanger at the end, which I hope will be developed in the next book.

This is a decent read and from all reports it is all uphill from here. ( )

Megan's Mark was ok and we learn a little more about the Breeds and the genetics council, but it felt like parts of the story did not come together. I enjoyed the action and loved Braden, but I've loved most all of the Breeds we've meet so far. Some of his one-liners were to die for and the snappy repartees where just great. Megan on the other hand was a bit iffy. It's like the author could not decide what to do with her. I did not like her wishy washy way of oh I'm cursed with this empath gift I must live in isolation, but then she's like I want to fight I'm a warrior. Please just make up your mind is all I could keep thinking. I preferred her a warrior and could not stand the whole wishy washy way. Drove me crazy at times.

All and all it was an ok book in the series. Not my favorite, but worth reading just to learn more of what is going on with the Breeds and their enemies. ( )
