Leopard's Wrath is the newest installment of the "Leopard People" series by the infamous Christine Feehan and let me tell you I just flew threw the pages of this book. The one aspect of this author is I ALWAYS can get into her books very easily and this book was no different for me. Now I will say this series, is a hit or miss for me. Out of all of her books, these are the most "pushed boundaries" books you will pick up. The alpha males in these stories can get too dark at times so that is something to be aware of. But this book it was a bit more manageable and I was prepared for it in this one. And the heroine definitely holds her own so I love seeing this element.

Our story starts off with a flat tire....our hero Mitya Amurov has lived his whole life in crime and a brutal atmosphere. Having been abused by his father since he was just a few years old. Now he is on the run with his men, working on building himself a new life away from the cruelty he has always known. But both he and his leopard will always be affected. Until he comes across a young woman with a flat tire, and for the first time his leopard is calmed and he realizes one thing....he has found his mate and he will fight and protect for her no matter the cost. Ania Dover has just about lost everything. Her family is being killed, and her father is dying and she is feeling her leopard come to life and emerging. She has met a powerful and intimidating man Mitya who sees a part of her no one ever has. But she wonders if it's the leopard "Jewel" he actually wants or the woman "Ania" he truly wants in his life and loves. But as they work out their relationships and the complexities of their life, there is a group hunting them .....will they survive the tide of their enemies?

This was such a delightful book and so INTENSE .....kept me on the edge so much in many unique ways and that is Christine Feehan for you. I swear, no other author writes a book as she does....so much heat but plenty depth and plot building. I truly loved Leopard's Wrath and it probably ranks high on the list of favorites for the series. Plus we do get to see some old favorites so that was truly lovely. The one thing I didn't expect was a plot of their enemies trying to create mistrust between them. I SO didn't see that build-up actually happening but boy it really worked for the story.

The romance between Ania and Mitya was so heartfelt at times. These two .....their relationship is pretty tense at times. And their leopards are part of the problem because well they are leopards LOL not easy to find balance between four personalities. But it is done despite some misunderstandings that occur. What we see though is how right they are for each other. I loved the strength and tenacity that Ania has and the way she handles Mitya. Now granted at times she does let her emotions get the better of her but she admits when she is wrong and I did appreciate that aspect of her character. I did feel like there were some things missing, like Mitya fully grasping and accepting Ania for who she really is. Eventually, they find the balance they need in their relationship and once that happens then its truly beautiful to see them blossom together.


Overall I found Leopard's Wrath to be a thrilling adventure, a hot as sin sexy romance and packed with all the suspense and intense dynamics to keep you on edge and full of expectations that are satisfied!!!

Christine Feehan as always is amazing! Leopard's Wrath is the story of Mitya and Ania two leopard shifters who are dealing with enemies all around them, but what they find in each other is stronger than any danger and they will fight for each other. As always Christine has created a book that is impossible to put down!

I am never disappointed by a Christine Feehan book, and this one is no exception. This is Mitya's story. I've always liked his character in the Leopard series and it was great to finally read his story. He finally meets his woman, Ania. She is a great character. She is strong and independent and that makes her a perfect match for the alpha Mitya. She can handle a car like nobody's business and she is a sniper! There is lots of action adventure but the reader never doubts Mitya's love and loyalty to Ania, or hers to him. That's one of the things I like best about Ms. Feehans book, the happily ever after... now I have to wait again for her next book!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this fantastic book!

There are a few questions I ask myself when reviewing a book.
Did it make me feel anything?
Did I get that pit in my stomach sensation?
Did I struggle to put it down?
Did I stay up all night because I just couldn't stop turning the pages?
The answer to all of those questions where Leopards Wrath is concerned was Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes.
I love this series. They just keep getting better.

Love, love. loved this book. I'm a huge fan of shifter romances, and Leopard's Wrath was so easy to fall in love with. I couldn't put it down. Like... sneaking in pages while in church kind of good. Can't wait to read more by this author!

Another emotional powerhouse…

This series is one of my all-time favourites! Mixing sweltering smexy with danger, intrigue and family, it hit all the highs, lows, and everything in between. You might think after ten stories in the series that this one would be simply more of the same. It was - the good stuff anyway - while it also added another complex character to the mix...

Ania was hanging on by a thread. Her family was in tatters and there was only one thing that kept her going. Revenge. Trust was in short supply and even those she long thought were friends to her family, came into question. When Mitya said he was her champion, it was easy to see why she was skeptical…

Mitya valued family, whether by blood or by choice, above all else. When Ania quickly became his everything, he would do anything to make her his own. That is when it got a whole lot more complicated.

Ania and Mitya’s story was a whirlwind of emotion as they both struggled with the new feelings they had for each other. Love wa always complicated but if you put life-threatening danger – and leopards – into the mix, a normal courtship became impossible. Impossible, passionate, uncertain. At times, my heart was racing as Ania dealt with one blow after another, shaking her belief in all she held true. Even her belief in herself… Surprisingly, even with Mitya’s formidable and stoic approach to love, there was still room for gentleness and hints of humour…

If I found the story details were repeated (something I’ve noted in recent stories by this author), I still couldn’t find myself caring too much. Between Mitya and Ania there was heat, true love and a sense that their romance could be anyone’s as it dealt with all that life could throw at it. How they handled it was reading bliss…
