Lora Leigh is back on her game!
I've been in love with Jonas Wyatt since he first came on the scene in Harmony's Way (an otherwise less than stellar addition to the series). Or was it Megan's Mark? Either way, he had me at "Hello". :)
Since LL tends to be hit or miss at times, I was so afraid she wouldn't do Jonas justice, but rest assured, she knocked it out of the park with this one!

I’ve waited years for this book. Early on I kept telling people that the story I really wanted to read was that of Jonas Wyatt. I wanted to see him suffer. I wanted to see him have to face the same jokes and the mocking comments he loved to dish out to others going through mating heat. I was hoping to hear more of Lawe’s and Rule’s “ain’t gonna happen to me” vows that were so plentiful in Bengal’s Heart. I have to say I was a tad disappointed in that very little of that actually happened. More...

Loved it! Finally, the much anticipated story about Jonas is here - and it was even better than I could have imagined. Rachel and Jonas were a perfect pair.
Rachel has been Jonas's personal assistant for a few months. During this time Rachel has proven to be very efficient at handling Jonas's schedule and putting up with his arrogant and manipulating ways. Jonas knew as soon as he saw Rachel that she was his mate but he refuses to claim her because he is afraid she would be targeted by his many e More...

I had high expectations for this book. I've been waiting for Jonas' story almost since the guy first appeared in this series, and seeing how arrogant this lions was, how manipulative, I simply couldn't wait to see him brought to his knees by the right woman.
To say I was disappointed is a huge understatement.

I had the same reaction to Lion's Heat that I did to the last Breeds book, Bengal's Heart -- that there was a potentially really interesting story here, but that Leigh took the easy way out and didn't bother to write it. Instead of building on the relationship between Jonas and Rachel already established in the previous books, she ret-conned everything so that they had always been fated mates and always been at least somewhat aware of it. So we never actually get to see how Jonas changes from

We met Jonas Wyatt, Director of Breed Affairs in Washington DC, and his assistant Rachel in the previous Breeds books. Jonas is a central character in the Berkley published novels. He is Leo and Elizabeth's son and Dane and Callan's brother, however he is not recognized as part of the family. Genetically engineered in the labs, he grew up separately and protected his own pride before joining with Callan to help the Breeds go public and create Sanctuary. He's seen many of his enforcers and pride

SPOILERS .............I think this is the worst editing job on a book that I have ever read. Huge continuity problems. I read on amazon that someone thought it felt like it was a rough draft of a book that somehow got printed. I agree. Did no one at the publishers read this book after she wrote it. Also nothing really happens in this book, it had flat cardboard characters. It really didn't add to the storyline of the breeds. Except to give us a few new ones that we had never met before. There a

I have had so many of my customers at the bookstore reccomend this author to me and practically drool at the mention of her name so I decided to give the book a try. Cause well, I will read just about anything if enough people like it. I must say that I just don't see what all the hype is about. I wanted to learn more about the Breeds and why they were created and what all the research was hoping to uncover , but there is just basic statements to the research and it's never expanded upon.

I’ve been waiting for this book for a long time now. I started reading this series with the first book published by Berkley - Megan’s Mark. I don’t know about the books prior to that one, but since that point, Jonas has been a manipulating leader of the Breeds. It was great to see him buckle and just plain “lose it” in this book.

Even for a Breed Jonas Wyatt is unique, created to be a killer and a breeder he has vowed never to claim his mate. But that vow is about to be challenged, when that mate, Rachel, is assigned to be his personal assistant and his instincts drawn to even a higher level as he mentally claims her unborn child as his own. Rachel, however, refuses to accept that she a Breed mate and though her attraction to Wyatt is difficult to control, she is determined not to succumb. But even without the kiss of

Thought this book was GREAT! I know it's gotten some negative feedback especially about his choosen/fated mate. She's the PERFECT mate for him. Why? Because she can handle his family. Jonas comes across as cold hearted, arrogant, spiteful, manipulative and a range of other 'not so nice' discriptions however; deep down, that's NOT who he is and Rachel figured that out, took on Leo and held her own and that's what Jonas deserves.

Here's the thing: Around the 100th time someone asks you, "Have you read any of those Lora Leigh books?" with that manic gleam in their eye and slight hint of blush on their cheek, your curiosity finally gets the best of you. I mean, if they're good enough to make a little old lady gather up every title at the local book store and demand the clerk hide them from the children, then they've gotta be worth reading, right?

I liked that Ms Leigh showed us another side of the manipulating, cold hearted and calculating Jonas Wyatt. I love the ongoing arch story about the breeds fight for survival and acceptance in to society throughout the series.

I guess I need to stop reading Lora Leigh. I have read most of the books in this series not counting the ones that came out originally on ebook. The idea is good and the plots are better than in the rest of her books but that's not saying much. I have liked Jonas in the other books and I liked him here. I hated, hated, hated Rachel. She was stupid and vapid and vacillitating and we didn't know enough about her to care. She was like a cardboard cutout.

How often does it happen lately that you anxiously look forward to the lastest installment of one of your favorite series? Only to have it fall short and not live up to those high hopes.

Lora Leigh has officially made me hate these words: "mate" and "mine."
If there's anything I hate more than when the author who makes the hero a cheater is when she makes him repeatedly repeats "You're mine" as he savagely rips into her throat or "You and I are mate forever b/c we're mates for life."
That becomes a load of crap when it's all we hear from the main guy, the secondary characters, and the stupid narration. I get it, damnit! Yo More...

This was the first Lora Leigh book I tried, but I don't think I'll try another. I had asked advice for a slutty sort of romance, and Lora Leigh's name was highly recommended.
What I liked: plenty of mental foreplay, nice fantasy atmosphere.
What I didn't like: I was very disapointed with the quality of her writing. Many times, I needed to reread a convoluted sentence or paragraph to figure out what she meant. I find that very frustrating; regardless of subject matter, a writer More...

The obvious editing issues kept this book from being even a decent read - one second they're in the garage and the next they're in the living room with Amber in the cradle. One moment Jonas is all worried about how Rachel is going to react to the mating heat, and then the next he's already told her about it.
Not to mention the plot line... I was excited about this book mainly for Jonas, and the build-up of his character from Leigh's previous books. While she stays true to his character, a More...

Jonas' book at last. I have waited a long time for Jonas' story. Ms. Leigh didn't disappoint either. I love Jonas Wyatt even when he has been manipulated everyone to do what he left was in their best interest. I have always known that he might be a real hardass with his enemies he really did care for those around them. I was gald to see that he came to terms with his family and found a ready made family of his own with Rachel and the baby. There is a lot of suspense with this story. I so

Others have done a great job detailing the plot. For me, it wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't as good as it should have been. Given the background on Jonas we've been given throughout various books in the series, there should have been more of his dominance, mind games, manipulations, and yes, even sexual mastery. As for Rachel, her characterization is pretty flat, which is unfortunate, but the chemistry between her and Jonas is intense. Beyond that, there were a plethora of editing mistakes,
