- Dawn's Awakening by Lora Leigh
- Berkley Sensation Feb. 2008
- Rating - Excellent
This is the best book that I've read so far this year!!!!
Book Blurb
The runt of the lab she was created in, Dawn Daniels endured years of torture by her pride brother and the council soldiers. Finally freed from her torment, she’s now a Breed Enforcer, in control of her own life. Until she’s assigned to protect the one man destined to be her mate—and realizes it’s
far too easy to lose total control…One of the Breed’s most important supporters, Seth Lawrence has spent years trying to forget Dawn, knowing that her lost innocence has made it impossible for her to get close to anyone. But suddenly neither of them can find the strength to fight the overwhelming passion between them. At least until the most brutal tormenter from Dawn’s past reappears—and threatens to destroy their
newfound love, along with their lives…
My thoughts
Oh my word! This book was sooooo good. I cried three times while reading it. My heart broke for Dawn and the things she had to deal with from her past. And Seth embodied everything I love in heroic male characters.
I have so much to say but for some reason I can't get the fonts to switch to white for spoilers. I won't go in to detail here because I don't want to ruin it for everyone.
If you have read the other Breed books this one is a MUST. Go out, find it and read it.
I do feel like I need say that this book is sexually graphic, though not as much as some of her previous books. And there is some pretty graphic violence/rape discussed.
I will be
I will be looking for this book this weekend. I've been looking forward to it so glad it's so good.

YOU FOUND IT.... Grrrr .... I was at Borders the other day and did not see it. I have been waiting sooooo patiently. I now have to pursue this again. I am so glad you enjoyed it, but I know you would (we like a lot of the same books/authors). Thanks for the review.... It makes me want it more.
Spoilers in white are not working yet. Lori is still trying to get the techies to get it working for us.

Yes I am a readalholic and I don't want the 12 step program!!!
I have this on its way to
I have this on its way to me. I still need to read "Tanner's Scheme" which is coming up in my reading pile. Your review makes me very anxious!
A place inside my brain
Another kind of pain
You don't know the chances
I'm so blind!

Thank you!
I completely forgot this was out this month.
I was already looking forward to this one and after reading your review I'm even more eager to read it. Hmm, a 24 hour book store would come in handy right about now.
Thanks again.

A 24 hour bookstore is an incredible idea!!!

Tanner's Scheme is one of my favorites out of the entire series so far. Granted I haven't read the "wolf" books yet, but I am getting there. But Tanner, that boy is just hot. In a yummy Brother kind of way.
Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the review. This sounds terrific. I'll be looking for it when I head into the city this weekend. I love Lora Leigh's books.
Oh yessss!
I'm really going to have to get this ASAP... I just finished the last-for-me (up to now) Feline Breeds story ~ Kiss of Heat, which is Sherra and Kane's tale.
And there is so much of Dawn and Seth towards the end of it, I'm thinking it will be the best time to read it too. Now all I need is a trip to the bookstore!

I loved Elizabeth's Wolf...and have been watching for book#1 to become available again. Their temporarily out of stock.
I think i'm going to bump Lora Leigh up next in line. I'm dying to try another of hers. I better go pull one out of the tbr so i remember.

Elizabeth's Wolf...
I know that EW came between Taber's and Sherra's story because Cassie (Elizabeth's daughter) played a pretty big part in Kiss of Heat ~ I'm thinking that once I read Dawn's story I'm going to devour the Wolf Breeds books that I've had sitting on my shelf since before (?) Christmas... but, obviously, never got around to. Then I'll read the Coyote Breed story ~ Soul Deep ~ and voila! I'll be all caught up on the Breed stories.
And still I cannot find anyway to add these books to the mini challenge... *sigh*

Wolf and catching up
Kathy - I hate that I've read them so out of order but I can honestly say that I didn't mind while reading. I was too impatient to wait until I had them all. I love this series and can't wait to get them read. Lora Leigh already has excerpts to Mecury's War up on her page in case you are interested.
VERY interested... Thank you Jill!
I'll be heading over there right away. She's got so many darned series going, how the hey does she do it??
