In Lora Leigh's scorching new Breed novel, two adversaries are destined to explore the only thing they have in common: an irresistible mating heat...

Diane Broen's lived to protect her younger sister Rachel from harm. But now that Rachel has been mated off, Diane's occupied herself with less fulfilling tasks at the Genetics Council--until she's paired with a new team member, a Breed male notorious for his attitude, and a touch that makes her recoil.

Lawe isn't thrilled with her either. A lion at heart, he prefers a lair of solitude. When it comes to females, he'd rather snarl than purr. And while fate may have paired them to fight on the same team, neither is willing to admit to the obvious: the mating heat between them is positively incinerating.

It's only when danger threatens that they make a hotter-than-hell connection--one so explosive it could destroy them. Or, as providence reveals, bind them together, forever.

The overall story was enjoyable in regards to the action portion. I got caught up in the feral breed storyline and the changes little Amber was going through. She seemed like a very adorable little girl with all her purring.

Lawe was the typical Lora Leigh alpha male that wanted his woman sitting at home. Diane was the exact opposite of the sitting at home type. And she refused to bend or compromise on that matter. The only time these two weren’t fighting or arguing about her giving up her work, was when they were having sex. And a lot they had.

It wasn’t until the end that Lawe ended up compromising for her. Which I didn’t like that she didn’t meet him half way so that it at least would look like she loved him enough to give some instead of Lawe being the only one.

Usually Lora Leigh’s books tend to be heavy on the sex and short on the characters, and this one wasn’t that far off. But I will say that in this one the only character that fell short to me was Diane. I didn’t care for her throughout much of her interaction with Lawe. The only time I did like her was during the time she spent with Amber. Her time with the infant was the only time she seemed to show any signs of love.

Narration: B
Briana handled both the male and female voices well. With Lora's books, there tends to be some crude, vulgar language from time to time, but Briana managed to handle that as well. She didn't distract me from the book with her grasp of the character voices like some narrators tend to do.
