Book Review of Tanner's Scheme (Breeds, Bk 9)

Tanner's Scheme (Breeds, Bk 9)
Bookfanatic avatar reviewed on


Tanner's Scheme is the best plotted Breed novel I've read to date. It's the best book in the series. I finished this in one evening even though I had to stay up until midnight. There are surprising twists and a lot of intrigue. If you like Lora Leigh's stories about the genetically-engineered humans with large feline DNA, you'll enjoy this story. There's a greater emotional connection between the hero/heroine than in the previous stories.

In the previous Breed books, the heroine typically doesn't like the hero, but in this book the two are very much into each other. They start off circling each other like two predators about to do combat when it reality they want something else. The verbal sparring is very nice. Scheme, the double agent for the Breeds, is probably the best heroine to date in these books. She's the type of heroine I admire. Very strong, capable, intelligent, but flawed. Tanner is a great match for her. What's not to like about the hero, Tanner? He's playful, charming, a seemingly easy-going playboy who is a PR genius for the Breeds, but Leigh shows us beneath that carefully crafted veneer he's much more serious and every bit the predator that his Bengal Tiger background makes him to be.

I loved this book enough not to part with it. Sorry, ladies. If you haven't read Lora Leigh's books before, you should know they are quite explicit when it comes to love scenes. These books aren't suitable for teens. Now if you're an adult - enjoy! If you haven't read the Breed series in order, you can still follow the story without problems.
