Book Reviews of Wild Rain (Leopards, Bk 1)

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!

Drooling page after page..... The cover page that I have depicks a very delicious looking man that you have to stare at for awhile. Fast paseing book. I love all of her book anyways! I have all of them! They are worth the money and time to reread and have in your bookself!

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.

what has she done? With a new identity, a staged death, and a chance to flee the treachery that stalks her, Rachael has escaped frm a faceless assassin. Now thousands of miles from home, under the lush canopy of the rain forest, she's found sanctuary...Where can she hide? In this world teeming with unusual creatures walks the most exotic of them all. His name is Rio. A native of the forest imbued with a fierce prowness, he is something to ge desired. Possessed of secrets of his own, he something to be feared.. Whom can she trust? But as Rachael's past looms as oppressively as the heat of the forest, and as Rio unleashes the secret animal instincts that course through his blood, Rachael fears that her isolated haven has become an inescapable hell...

Mostly girl fiction, lots of sex, cute story though.

Amazing book! I love Feehan's thought process. Full of steamy sex scenes and amazing detail. I fell in love with these characters.

Enjoy the fantasy of being able to shift change

love the supernatural stuff the leopards can do!!! Almost as good as the Game Series.

Not as good as some of Christine Feehan's other series.

this book is a page turner, wonderful story. about a girl who runs to a rainforest to escape being found and finds a shape shifting leopard to live with. steamy

Good book.

Fun, trash to read.

This a a great story! Hard to put down.

Captivating.

SUPERNATURAL THRILLER GOOD BOOK

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.

Really like this story about the Leopard people. It is not like the Carpathian novels and I really like the interactions between the two main characters.

THIS BOOK, YOU HAVE TO LOVE WALKING ON THE WILD SIDE. I REALLY ENJOYED IT. A VERY WELL WRITTEN SHAPE-SHIFTER STORY.

Another branch of the Dark Series tree. This branch is on shapeshifters and of course, romance. Very interesting concept. And the romance!! Whew!!

Supernatural thrills and romance in an exotic setting-

Very good read. Shift shapers/paranormal

great book, one of her better in my opinion . . .

Hard to put down...You really feel as though you are in the jungle.

Steamy-This one is A Keeper

I ordered this book, not knowing I had a copy allready.

I think this is a good book, of course I like most of Feehan's books, maybe all ;)

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.

To escape an assassin, Rachel finds sanctuary in the rainforest, where the most exotic of all creatures walks: Rio. But when he unleashes his secret animal instincts, Rachel fears that her isolated haven could become an inescapable hell. Original.

Christine Feehan writes wonderful stories and her shapeshifter tales are exciting and sexy.

Great Book!

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 book was interesting, but I do not like her writing style.

If carnal mating between half-human, half-jungle cat creatures trapped in a web of danger is your thing, then this book is for you!

I really like Christine Feehan's books. I admit that I liked this better than many of her others.

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.

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

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!
