First novel in the series about the Leopard People of the South American Rain Forest who shape-shift into leopards to combat evil in their realm. Follows the novella "The Awakening" (Fantasy Anthology), but can be read alone. Series so far isn't bad. A very erotic page-turner.

In this book by Feehan we are introduced to the Leopard people that she mentions in her later Dark books. Very different and a great love story. Really like this one but of course I would since it is Feehan.

Horrible. Little character backstory or development, author just throws you into the story. Extremely violent attack on the heroine that she just "gets over" because the hero asks her to. sappy. I love Christine Feehan but this book was awful.

Christine Feehan has once again launched her readers into a world where anything can, and usually does, happen---with a nice, big dose of the sexy paranormal thrown in. Feehan fans and newcomers alike won't be able to help being enthralled by the lush setting of this book, the hunky hero, the sleek jaguars of the jungle, and a heroine who is too damn spunky to let a little matter of being hunted get her down. Definitely a winner!

This is the first book I've read in Feehan's leopard shapeshifter collection. Though the Carpathians are my favorites, I really enjoyed Wild Rain. I read it in one evening. Couldn't put it down. It's full of wonderful, likeable characters and loveable leopards and has plenty of plot twists that kept me engaged. Though they're leery of each other at first, the two main characters come to a meeting of the minds and bodies pretty quickly. An enjoyable, fun book!

Pretty good romance by Feehan. I usually go for more vampire but this was really good for paranormal.

I got to page 250 and just lost interest. This book was utterly boring. I'm a Christine Feehan fan--I've read every one of her Dark series and am making my way through the others. Having enjoyed her work in the past, I thought this was a huge disapointment.

Feehan is known for her lush, longwinded discriptions and settings. This book definately has that--too much of it in my oppinion. After awhile the detail starts to detract from the plot, and it's slow. Furthermore, the character's backstories take way to long to come to light, to the point where they seem tacked on as an afterthought. And they don't grow or develope at all--or if they do it was in those last 100 pages I just couldn't bring myself to read. Either way, the pacing is way off. The heroine spends the first hundred pages injured in bed for crying out loud.

To end on a positive, I have to give Feehan credit for some really hot romantic content. It may lack substance, but it is very sexy. So if you have a lot of patience, or you just prefer mindless sexual drama, you might enjoy this. Otherwise stick to Feehan's other books.

I really havent read anything by Christine Feehan that I didnt like. This first story of the shifting cats had lots of story and good romance. It did not have the many side stories of her vampire series, but I could imagine it being developed in future books. I look forward to reading the next in the series.

This was a very good book. It was erotic and sensual, about a woman trying to escape her past, plunges into the jungle only to find herself face to face with a part of herself she never knew she possessed. The man whose hut she was seeking refuge in is a part of a people who are able to turn into leopards. together they fight the people after her and burn the house down with their passion!

Another wonderful book by Christine Feehan. She continues to amaze readers with another book in her shifter series. In this book Rachael has staged her own death and moves on to a new life. But Rachael's new sanctuary might short lived with the appearance of the forest native Rio. He's set his sights on her and isn't giving up without a fight. A fight that unleashes a lot more then just the beast within him.

I'm a big fan of Christine Feehan's Carpathian series and was curious to find out how she would tackle another theme. She does a terrific job with "White Rain." I just couldn't put this novel down and must have read it in two sittings. The story is fresh, very original, although there is much fiction about "shapeshifters" on the market today. Her main characters, Rachael and Rio, are fleshed-out well, very believable and the chemistry between them sizzles. The secondary characters, Kim Pang, other natives and their culture, the shaman, even the pet clouded leopards Fritz and Franz, are fascinating.

I have become a huge fan of this author in just a short period of time. I really enjoyed this story. I read this after finishing the last of the Carpathian series, and was not disappointed as some others were. The first of this series is a novella included in the anthology 'Fantasy'. These are great escapist stories that are just fun and entertaining.

The second book in the "Leopard" series. Supernatural thrills and romance as this author explores the dark past of a woman on the run-and her darker desires for the only man left she dares to trust. Excellant book, can't wait for the next in this series.

Typical Feehan, which in itself is not a bad thing. It has all the lore and magic you would expect but seems almost lacking next to her Carpatian series

In Wild Rain both the hero and heroine are hunted by enemies and haunted by their pasts. They meet in a clash of wills and love with the same blazing fervor.
