I didn't finish reading... |
|
I'm sorry, but I must have missed that this was an "erotic" book. This is not my type of book. I just looked at the number of good ratings, and I thought it would be a great book. I couldn't finish the book. When I started blushing in the 1st chapter, I knew I may not want to keep reading. Are you kidding me? Where is the story? It was almost like reading a recent LKH book, but it was worse. I really did not like the parts I finished. I would have given the book a 1 star, but I felt guilty. |

Decent sex scenes.... |
|
With only passably decent storyline. Okay, I know it's erotica....but, sheesh! Why is it so hard to find a book with imaginative, graphic sex AND an intriguing storyline? I've only read a couple of Leigh's books, and can't figure out her popularity!! I'm annoyed with her frequency of cuss words in that it implies a deficiency in either her vocabulary or imagination. I'm also particularly annoyed with her choices of terms of endearment for her characters..."Baby" & "Babe" just DON'T have the same appeal on paper! |

Exotic and erotic. Wild and fun. |
Breeds are humans with animal DNA in them. Callan has lion DNA. Merinus is a normal human reporter hoping to convice him to tell his story publicly. When she and he meet, the chemical and hormonal reactions are so powerful that they cannot stay away from each other for more than a few hours. They go into withdrawal if they don't repeatedly mate with each other. It's not 5 star romance writing with great plot and character development, but I don't expect that from erotica. It's entertaining for erotica.
Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: around seventeen, many are several pages long. Setting: about 2013 Washington D.C. and Sandy Hook, Ky. Copyright: 2003. Genre: erotic paranormal romance.

In the beginning |
Tempting the Beast (Feline Breeds, Book 1)
Starting in the beginning is always best. I just love every one of her characters and since I first read a breed story have wanted to get to the beginning. While the first one is a short story at least this is the start of the "lion breed" storyline. Since the way these breeds were created is more science that paranormal they also fall into the science fiction catagory which is my favorite. I was hesitant at first to read something in the erotic romance catagory but this has given me a whole new place to look for my favorite genre. So if you are a science fiction lover give these books a chance. You'll get caught up in it.

I want a Callan of my own! |
|
This was another favorite Lora Leigh books. Sexy, Sexy, Sexy!!! Exactly what I want out of Erotica: Enjoyable characters, interesting, great chemistry, decent storyline and the desire to have the hero of the book for my very own! Definitely time and money well spent! |
