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.

This was one of the steamiest tales of intrigue I have read. As soon as I finished it, I went back to the beginning to re-read it and enjoy it sgain! Awesome storyline, shape-shifters, mysteries, hot bunny love, it has it all!

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.

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!

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!

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.
