Lora Leigh ~ FELINE BREEDS 3: KISS OF HEAT

     Well, I’m finally all caught up on Lora Leigh’s Feline Breeds series ~ until Dawn’s Awakening is released right away.  Not sure yet if I’m going to rush out and get it as I’ve already got all her to-date-releases of her Wolf Breeds and the one Coyote Breed stories… as well as a few hundred other books.  So far this month my TBR challenge is kind of, uh… slowing down.  Guess I’m going to have to do better!

RATING:

Excellent ~ 4.5 stars

Heat Wave {or as Ellora’s Cave rates this story:  E-rotic.  Love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall word count.}  

BOOK READ:

Lora Leigh; Feline Breed 3:  Kiss of Heat; Ellora’s Cave; TPB Nov 2005

SYNOPSIS:

     Sherra Callaghan is one of the Breeds that escaped from the labs with Callan and the other feline breeds that became his Pride.  Eleven years before she had been mated with a human male, became pregnant and lost the baby only to be told by her handlers at the lab that the man she had fallen in love with had betrayed her.  She’s spent the past decade and more hating ~ it was the only thing that allowed her to survive.

     Kane Tyler; soldier, warrior and avenger.  Eleven years after not only falling in love with the female breed with whom he mated, but then tragically lost, he has spent the years since her death seeking revenge on the Genetics Council.  But when he finds that he had been lied to and that Sherra lives, he’s torn.  He’s learned of the horrors that faced her in the years since he’d last seen her, learned of the death of the child that they had created, learned that she hated him.

     Now, working together with the rest of the Pride to protect the Feline Breeds, Kane and Sherra are inundated with the emotions and lust of the mating heat.  They also have to overcome the anger and scars left in the wake of the lies and deceits they were subjected to.

MY NOTES:

     I’ve really read this series all over the place, but it’s so nice to finally have all the puzzle pieces laid out in front of me.  All I can say is “Wow… what a series!”   Each story is filled with so much emotion that it grips your heart and you become so fully involved.   Yes, the stories are extremely sexual and erotic but they are, first and foremost, stories of love and salvation.  The connection between Sherra and Kane is undeniable and almost overwhelming; the torment that each has suffered over the past decade is such a strong element that you can only wonder at their survival.  Once again, Lora Leigh has captured the very hearts of the two and only by opening themselves completely are they able to begin to do more than exist… they can start to live.
