(To be featured on my blog in September.)

Note: I am featuring some of the review books I've had for a while, but run out of time to do a review for. That's not to say I'm not going to read them; it's just that I've fallen behind, and think the authors deserve an appearance here!

I read the early books in Christine Feehan leopard shifter series years ago, and remember enjoying them. I'm not sure if you can skip ahead to book ten, but Feehan's books tend to work fairly well as standalones.

Great book. Feehan is one of my favorite authors, can never go wrong with her!

It's been a while since I've read this author, I quite like the Leopard series. There is a lot of sex but if you're over it and skim there is still plenty of story line happening. Sonia is a leopard shifter, a surprise to her when her leopard revealed herself to save Sonia's life. Joshua is her neighbour and her 'mate', he just has to convince her. There's drama and murder in the background as criminal tendancies are revealed as the story unfolds. The story was well paced with lots of nail baiting moments, I enjoyed it.

Though born into a leopard’s lair in the bayou, Joshua Tregre’s fighting skills were honed in the rainforests of Borneo. Sleek and deadly, he’s the perfect man to take over a crime syndicate back home in Louisiana’s lush swamplands. His razor sharp instincts give him an edge in the violent underworld he knows so well, but even the watchful leopard inside him isn’t prepared for the danger that comes from the girl next door…

She is a woman who can create beauty out of thin air—and out of the ruins of her own life. The games that dangerous men play have taken their toll on her, but she is bent, not broken. And it’s her fierce spirit that’s like a lure to Joshua, a temptation he can’t resist—even if it means bringing his true nature into the light

I had no idea this book was part of a series when I started it and even though it was I still had no issues following along with the story. This was also my first Christine Feehan novel and I have to say it wont be my last.
I loved the characters, even when they drove me crazy and I loved the take on shifters in this world. The only issue I had was the amount of sex in this book. Now don't get me wrong I love a good sex scene in book but I just felt there was a but to much in this one.
I ended up giving this book 4 out of 5 stars. I would of given it the last star but like I said I thought the story didn't need all the sex scenes in it the book was amazing even without them.

Another great addition to the Leopard series. Really enjoyed this one.
