Synopsis - Tarek Jordan is a feline Breed, created by the Genetic Council by crossing lion and human DNA, then indoctrinated to believe that he would never be anything more than a tool. After he and the other Breeds liberated themselves from their abusive creators, they fought against the brainwashing that said they weren't human, that they couldn't love, and that neither God nor any human would ever love them. Lyra Mason lives next door to Tarek and has worked hard to assert her independence fr...more
Thank god this one was short! Not that I don't love it, trust me I do. It's just easier to review a shorter book than it does with a long one. But wow! I really liked this installment in the Breeds series by Lora Leigh. It was very hot, typical of any books by this author. Not to mention that I really enjoyed the relationship between the hero and the heroine. Ahah, she always threatens to kill him... but we all know that she won't. I really adore Lyra and Tarek together because even though this...more

This story is set a number of years after the original Pride went public. Jonas is now Head of Breed Enforcer Affairs. Tarek is a Breed that we haven't met before and he is after a Trainer from the Lab that Tarek was held at. It is interesting to watch Tarek handle the normal day to day things that we take for granted. I love his reaction to the smell of homemade bread fresh from the oven. I don't think there is anything that brings to mind home and comfort like that smell. The only problem with...more
Tarek Jordan is trying to do his job and for some strange reason he decided to buy a house, I place of his own, somewhere that he could make a life and a home. Little did he know that the hellion he moved next to would keep him on edge, tense, and his balls so tight he is having a hard time controlling it. What is it about her that makes him long for her kiss and to pet her, all day and all night long?

It was a fun read, I loved the humor and the characters. This is a short story and Ms Leigh managed to squeeze everything in it - quirky characters, suspense and danger, great erotica, and confessions of love.
I could just imagine Lyra and Tarek together. He's really amusing and Lyra's sharp tongue and feigned irritation masked her attraction for him - and growing lust. She's a smart one too, having figured out Tarek's a Breed. I really liked that he had a horrendous amount of self-control, expla...more

Great quick read. As usual, I loved both of the main characters, especially how Tarek was so uncomfortable with everyday activities. I did catch myself saying 'what a cowinkydink' a little bit more than normal for this series though. Special forces brothers? Brothers to begin with? Living next door? Jonas knew of Lyra, including some extremely personal type inofrmation? Riiiiiiiiiight. Always a reason why I can't rate Leigh's books 5 stars.
I enjoyed the short story but wish it was longer I didn't like the way at the end they both just happened to show up at the cabin would have like more story about the journey there.
She wasn't frightened of him or intimidated by him. She didn't watch him like a piece of meat or an animal that could attack at any moment. She watched him with equal parts frustration, innocence,
and hunger.

I really liked this breed book although it was much to short for my liking but I loved that Lyra accepted Tarek for what he was and that he explained everything before hand so she knew what she was getting into and gave her a chance (VERY SMALL chance) to run. I also liked that they knew eachother before hand so they basically knew that they loved eachother (or close to loving eachother) before hand.
This is a Breed short story about Tarek and Lyra. Ebook was about 100 pages. It is a good story, but since its shortened some things were missing that most Breed books have. Tarek had the workings of a totured soul but we weren't able to hear much about his past or how he got his scars on his chest, although we can guess. The same goes for Lyra, I wish there was more character development.
I really like this story because it doesn't annoy me as some of the others in the Breed series. I guess the fact that the story is kinda short pretty much contributed to the lack of annoying factor. It doesn't leave much room for the caveman and stubborn female act.
And as much as I like Tarek, Dash Sinclair from Elizabeth's Wolf is still my favorite Breed :p

A powerful novella about another of science's "creations" -- a human with altered animal DNA -- and a neighbor who enters his life and changes his entire understanding of what it means to be truly human. This story has been around for a while but it hasn't lost its punch. A great part of the Breeds continuing story.
This book was recommnded as a good read by Stephen King. I love this genre. It was scary, but not overly so. Good story of childless couple seeking help from an unscrupulous fertility doctor. Unfortunately, the writing was not like the flowing and engaging work of S. King, but a good story nonetheless.

At 97 pages, this novella packed a lot of story within the paragraphs - a budding romance, sexy scenes, and elements of danger. If you are not familiar with the Breeds storyline you might be somewhat confused reading this short offering, because there aren't enough pages to give you the backstory.

This was originally released as part of the Hot Spell anthology, and later released as a novella.
While I enjoyed this very much, I found it lacked the intensity and spark that I've come to expect in a full novel by Lora Leigh. This is a wonderful filler story in the Breed saga.

This was a shorter one of the Breeds books, because originally it was part of an anthology. That being said I think that the plot development was pretty darn good for 70 some pages. I liked the characters and could see their story being a full book. It was an enjoyable read.
Unlike the other Breeds' stories, this one is a novella and obviously shorter. But that didn't mean the story wasn't very well written and had all the basics a Breed story must have. I really liked Tarek and Lyra's relationship and their witty banter. A must read!
My second favorite in the breed series. This book was short, sweet and on the humorous side. Steamy as Lora Leigh's novels always seem to be which adds more appeal to this great story. The only let down of this book is that I kept wishing it was longer!!
I enjoy all the "breed" stories. This is a novella involving Tarek who is a breed enforcer who finds his mate in the girl next door. Of course the council finds her. there is the usual mayhem. great and explicit sex xcenes. love comes after the mating frenzy.
This was a nice quick read. Eventhough it was short, the personalities, strengths and weaknesses of the characters was developed enough to make me want to keep reading. I also enjoyed the feeling of family that was conveyed. Very nice.
Hands down my fave novella in the Breed series so far!!
Loved Tarek....Mmmmmm, mmmmm, good!!!
I really was drawn into the intro of this story....The rose bush..LOL
Tarek was very, very sweet and I just loved that about him. *sigh*

I wonder if it was a short book. But it was the first book I've read by lora Leigh and I definately recommed it to anyone who likes supernatural romance. She did a great job of entertaining me for the whole ride. ^.^
I Really liked this one :) some HOTTTTTT stuff are going on in this book and i really enjoyed it! Its an easy, enjoyable, curl up when you have some time to relax, and let it take you on a steamy ride kind of book ;)
Another great Lora Leigh Breeds book! I'm trying to figure out which ones I missed!! This was a back track, but you meet Braden before Megan's Mark in this book along with Jonas laughing?? Pretty good!
Tarek and Lyra...... This book was short, sweet and on the humorous side. As usual, I loved both of the main characters, especially how Tarek was so uncomfortable with everyday activities. I also loved it whenever she defied him, I'd do the same in her case. Great read!
Short book that I read in a couple of hours. The book was entertaining and added a few new characters. I did not get to know Braden and Megan very well but I did enjoy their story.
I've given this 5 stars because as a short story it was very, very good. None of the repetitive inner monologue present in this story. Liked it a lot.
Wasn't bad, Tarek was interesting and I would have liked too get to know him better. Amanda was accepting and feisty, I liked her. Hope to see them both in the future.
