This is a quick read, new to me author I would read again. There really isn't a whole lot of information on the characters or a plot but its a good shifter erotic read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ACR, I voluntarily read and reviewed.

The Lion, the Leopard, and the Wolf was a very steamy and yummy piece of literature. The romance was on point and the attraction between the characters is palpable. However, the paranormal factor was not evident from the beginning. Once Mac gets to the Fantasy Lodge the shape shifter parts come into play and you can see the lion and the wolf. Some parts of the book were slightly disconnected to me as we see Mac's aunt, Celia, briefly in the beginning and than at the end of the book with her surprise revelation. I wish we could have known a little sooner of why Mac was so special as a snow leopard. We get a few sentences about her family and previous relationships, but I do wish there was just a little bit more to show Mac's history. She seemed awfully acquiescent about being a shifter when all the "were" issues were mentioned. Otherwise, I greatly enjoyed this book. This is the first book I've read by E.L. March and I am curious to see what else she has written.

Ok read. Lots of all kinds of sex. More sex then plot to me. It just seemed like something was missing, but I can’t put my finger on it. More plot, more background, mor something. We needed more info in the guys and even the relationship between Celia and Mac. Oh well quick read with lots of sex.

Received an ARC from the publisher for an honest review.

This is a wild story I wasn’t sure where this book was heading after the horse and carriage crash but it all worked out in the end. I would have loved to read a little more from Trent and Aaron’s point of view, maybe some insights into what brought them together to start this resort. Does everyone working at the resort shift? There needed to be a greater villain in the story or threat against Mac. Mac’s blind faith in these two guys happens over night - insta love story while shifting into a new animal form, it all happen so quickly in this story. Glad she went along with it and didn’t hurt the two guys but it would have been nice if they knew more about each other than the size of their dicks.

Mac's life has turned topsy turvy, her coordination is off, her sense of adventure diminished and the man she thought she loved has pushed her aside. So what does she need? A break at a remote hideaway where fantasy is her desire. The storyline and characters are very intriguing, in a few places it seemed like the story or characters were repeating itself. For a short story enjoyable, wish there could have been more backstory to the characters besides Mac. Overall a four star read, needed a bit more editing so it was repetitive.

A good start to the Enchanted Mountain series, The Lion, the Leopard, and the Wolf, is a sexy paranormal romance. A novella length read this story has engaging characters and a good story line. I will be recommending and looking to read more.

Sorry this book was not for me. I could not read it so sadly deleted it .I thought it would have a story to it as it started well but it didn't.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book.

First off, this is full on smut, which isn't a bad thing, I enjoyed it. However, with the book description, I thought there would be more plot, more story, but that wasn't the case. This is actually more of a novella than a full book, but it was okay considering.

Thank you Netgalley and The Wild Rose Press, Inc for the book. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is just straight-up smut, which I should have expected it, but silly me, I didn't.

I have read some pretty good smut over the years. Unfortunately, this is not one of them.

I find all three characters one dimensional. They are pretty boring as individual characters and as partners, and all the efforts to create tension and drama between them just fell flat. There was no excitement and truthfully, I don't really care for any of them.

This was just an okay read for me. There was so much wasted potential here. This would have been a great book if it had been longer and more developed. The characters were interesting and the plot intriguing. Unfortunately everything was too rushed and ended up as an erotic read without enough story. The writing style was really good. I wish there had been more. I think the author sold themselves short.

I received a copy of The Lion, the Leopard, and the Wolf by E.L. March from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, this novel missed the mark for me and I found it a struggle to make myself finish.

I felt that the plot should have been interesting given the story's summary, but the plot wasn't interesting or evenly paced and the main characters' chemistry was just not believable or appealing; nor was their banter witty or engrossing. Just struck me as a flat novel altogether with an awful plot.

This is really quite a short novella that goes quickly through the action. Our heroine, Mac, is looking to get over her ex-boyfriend and the weekend break that her aunt books her on seems to be the ideal way to do it. There's wall to wall sexy men and they seem to be very attentive. It soon becomes clear that best friends and owners of the lodge are both interested in her.
Overall I liked the idea of the story and for the most part, it worked. Where it fell down for me was that being so short it seemed very rushed. I was actually left with far more questions at the end of the book than I had to begin with. There was very little world-building too, which left me a bit confused. Especially as they were not only shifters, but apparent were shifters. Really the book needed some background worked into the story to explain all of that. The ending felt rushed to me with the sudden and rather random appearance of another shifter character leaving me wondering what I'd just read.
It wasn't that this was a bad story, just that it could have been much better with a little bit more adding to it. It's a bit of a shame really.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Oh my god this book gave my hormones an run for it 😅💕🤗 hot shifters with amazing bodies and doing stuff together that are ... *smutty*. ...
Threesomes on a higher level I would say 😅☺️.
The writing style is addictive and the book is very easy to read.
Would I recommend it, yes I would, if you don’t mind smut on a high level and you are openminded on LQTB scenes.
I loved it that the writer didn’t hold back on the scenes.
Am I an dirty mind or reader 🤔 or maybe not... But I do appreciate my share of these kind of books 📚 😅 is it age, experience why I love it ? I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️ I always have been open minded and paranormal/shifters are an guilty pleasure 🤗🥳

I should have picked up on the hints in the description. Wasn't expecting a shifter-erotic story. It was a quick read with plenty of heat. It almost seems like a novella because there was a lot of basic info left out. I bet there will be a sequel...

Loved this book. Definitely a little out of my normal comfort zone but great altogether. Adult scenes were done tastefully and the story line is good. Great quick read.
