Primal instincts fuel many of the love connections in this collection which pulls together four stories that vary greatly in sensuality, as well as showcasing a pretty diverse group of authors. Most of the stories are related to the authors' series - Rowen's and Gray's standalone pretty well - Leigh's requires at least some familiarity with her Breeds, and Strong is a new to me author, so I am not sure about whether or not it fits in with her other books.

Bleeding Heart by Michelle Rowen ~*~ A woman now carries a deadly drug in her blood. The drug turns vampires to ash with just a taste, but it is also slowly killing her, so she and her dhampyr ally are hoping to find a cure. ~*~ This first story is a short connected to Rowen's new Nightshade series - it was the mildest of the romances and an interesting tease to Rowen's new series - in which she has supposedly left her trademark humor behind - it does fall in time after the first book, so I suspect it may be mildly spoilerish if you plan on reading Nightshade.

Skin & Bone by Ava Gray ~*~ When an earthquake hits in Ecuador, a man with much to atone for saves a woman caught under the rubble and finally finds someone who doesn't fear him, a woman who sees him as a hero instead of the monster he considers himself to be. ~*~ Connected to Gray's 'Skin' series, this was my favorite of the stories, I really liked both of the leads: the huge scary man who can be so gentle, and the free spirited woman who finally finds a connection she's willing to keep.

Angel Claimed by Jory Strong ~*~ An immortal seeks to reclaim the woman he lost centuries ago, despite his dreams of how their reunion will play out, he will not simply force her to submit to his claim but will first help her to keep a vow to the vampire family she is bound to. ~*~ I liked this one the least of the stories, the world building is interesting but confusing and I am not really into the dominance stuff (whipping, spanking, bondage). There are angels, djinn and vampires, this is my first story by this author so it may be connected to her other stories.

Primal Kiss by Lora Leigh ~*~ Breed enforcer Creed is undercover protecting the daughter of one of the Breed's enemies, she's a potential pawn just waiting to be used - by the Breeds or by their enemies - to force her father's cooperation. But Creed's priorities may well be tested if - as he has come to suspect - she is his mate. ~*~ My sense of this one is that if you follow the Breeds there is a revelation tied to the series arc that you will not want to miss. For me, I've read all of Leigh's stories in anthologies but only a few of her novels, so this didn't end up supplanting my favorite Breed short (I liked the one in Magical Christmas Cat the best), since - and I can't believe I am saying this - there was too much story and not enough of the romance even though there is still plenty of hot clenching, drenching, and throbbing for those who like Leigh's more explicit love scenes.

Primal is a collection of novellas from 4 paranormal romance authors, each taking place in the middle of an already published series. This means that the book is a horrible place to begin for any reader interested in the authors.

As a rule, I dislike anthologies. As many readers have pointed out, some anthologies can feel like a rip off, including essentil stories only available in the collection. Completist readers find this frustrating. Yet this collection, since it only includes 4 popular aut...more

Lora Leigh’s Primal Kiss is part of her Breeds paranormal series. They’re not shapeshifters but men and women who were genetically created in a lab using the DNA of felines, wolves, coyotes, and marine life. They’ve broken out of those torturous, inhuman labs and they are finally finding life although the Breeds must still fight for their freedom from those who don’t believe they should exist…or, at least, not as humans with human rights.

Hm, another tricky anthology. I both love and hate them at the same time. I know they are a complete waste of time (unless written by Nalini Singh, who can pack a whole story into those few pages), but I can't resist when they feature a story from a series I follow. Such is the case with Primal. I avidly read all of the Breeds stories, so this was a must have...no matter what.

The only novella worth reading was the Lora Leigh story. The first novella, by Michelle Rowan, could not standalone without the previous book, Nightshade. It begins only days after Nightshade leaves off apparently, and since I did not read the previous book, I could not connect to the characters or the story at all.

The Ava Gray novella was a standalone, although part of her Skin series (I think). Although it was easy to follow, it just did not hold my interest at all. I did not end up finishing it because I was bored and did not really care about the characters.

The Jory Strong novella was insanely confusing to me. It takes place in a rather complicated world, and I assume is part of a larger series that explains the world better. I really hope that is the case - otherwise it was just a confusing mess. I spent the whole time reading it more focused on the vampire/djjin/human/scion stuff and what exactly was what and were there angels involved?, instead of focusing on the main couple. I'm sure the book would have been okay had it not been a novella and was allowed to have more space to explain things.

I did like the Lora Leigh novella (4 stars). I was surprised though because it was more connected to the rest of the Breed series than her novella's usually are - normally the Breed novellas do not have any consequences on future full-length books, and also does not have a storyline continuing from her previous full-length book. I feel as though I would have liked it less and been confused had I not read Lion's Heat first.

Primal was an example of exactly what I do not thing anthologies should be. I always feel like readers should be able to pick up an anthology without having read the rest of the books in the various series. The purpose of them should be to entice new readers to the series and get them to start from the beginning. I also have always thought that anthologies/novellas should not have consequences for future books - they should not be something that you need to read in order to understand the next full-length book, but should just be fun additions to series - something to tide readers over until the next full-length but not required. Unfortunately, each of the novella's in this book (except the Ava Gray novella - that was just plain boring), did not follow this. (less)

Primal Kiss (Breeds series) - by Lora Leigh. I will never stop reading this series. I'm committed. But I have to admit that I don't enjoy them as much as before. And that really bothers me. Because I'm a huge fan and always will be. Probably the first 10 books or so were the most powerful for me. They seem a bit predictable to me now.

Bleeding Heart by Michelle Rowen - I like that all of these tales are very small episodes. We come in on a moderately sick girl, Jill, and her half vampiric, half vampire hunter boyfriend, Declan. They call him a damphyr and I can't fully puzzle out why based on this sample but I suppose it's because he suppresses a lot of his vampiric instincts. I suppose you can then figure out that this is principally a vampire novella. Declan's old vampire hunter friend, fully human, helps them to find a scientist who promises Jill a cure. This novella has one pretty hot scene but afterwards gets caught up in a lot of minor character motivations yadadada. At its heart, Declan and Jill are an interesting test between hot and cold, the latter being applied to the former. Not your usual way of perceiving male/female dynamics. I liked this but I do think the action takes center stage a little too much. The advertisement, however, for the first Nightshade book that preceded this novella was quite enticing. The author writes boldly and compactly so I might check that one out myself.

Skin and Bone by Ava Gray - This one is certainly the most low-key of the bunch; however, it might also be the tighest. Silas, a mutant more fully fleshed than your typical X-man, has made his way down to Brazil to hide out from a treacherous force known as the Foundation. There he stumbles upon a kind-hearted and accepting English teaher named Juneau. They hit it off. If I remember correctly this is the coolest of the four. If it had a sex scene I forgot it. Its strength lies not in its erotic dynamic but in its down-to-earth and evenly paced story line. It's an easy 7/10.

Angel-Claimed by Jory Strong - My favorite of the bunch exhibits a pretty wacky fire Djinn by the name of Addai who has the hots for Saija, his reincarnated wife. The joke is that she wasn't supposed to come back human and he is not shy about pressing her with his long-bottled emotions. This one has a nice technique of either backseating the search and rescue which Saija is supposed to be on or outright negating it for you see Addai has been waiting a long time and would really like to see his wife in her proper position. She has her spine, however, and her allegiance as a human has been sworn to the vamps. He begrudgingly helps. As I said before, the author has a brilliant sense for incorporating the erotic into the mission. This book is flavorful if you couldn't already tell from the names. Some reviewers have noticed this and called it elaborate world-building or convoluted story-telling. I'm just going to call it spicy and leave it at that.

Primal Kiss by Lora Leigh - I thought this one would be my favorite, it being supposedly the most explicit but eh sometimes explicit as you want isn't really as explicit as you want. If you haven't read the Breed series as I haven't you might as well tune out of the plot, it is so cumbersome and littered with so many names it's not even funny. This book has one thing truly on its mind and that is mating Kita and Creed. Now the former doesn't know that the latter has had the hots for her for awhile, he being her bodyguard and such, but when Kita's teenage rebellion takes her out of the house and to a supposedly secure safehouse, Creed shows her where he puts it. As I said before, this book does not pull punches about where so and so goes and so and so comes. I wouldn't call it raunchy. It doesn't have wide enough vocabulary for that. Rather it reads like a science textbook written on the stalls by a teenager. That's probably going too far...I do like that it wants to foreground the erotic dimension but I think it failed in keeping it in step with its rather undeveloped plot.

My individual rankings would go:
Angel-Claimed by Jory Strong - 9/10
Skin and Bone by Ava Gray - 7/10
Bleeding Heart by Michelle Rowen - 6/10
Primal Kiss by Lora Leigh - 5/10
The average of these may very well not add up...(less)

So, be warned that this paranormal romance has some pretty explicit erotica scenes.

The first story is from Michelle Rowen called "Bleeding Heart". It's set right after her novel "Nightshade", which I have not yet had a chance to read. Luckily, there was a sneak preview of that novel right after the short story, which helped! Jill was a human working as a temp in an office building, and got caught up in a supernatural struggle she never dreamed had existed. She was taken hostage and injected with the experimental drug called Nightshade, which changed her blood's makeup to make it deadly to vampires. Declan is a Dhampyr, who is a vampire hunter. He takes a special drug that suppresses his emotions (and his libido is affected as a side effect), to keep his vampiric half at bay. He ends up as Jill's protector, and in this novella they are searching for someone who might be able to help find a way to get the Nightshade out of her system and let her live a normal life. Plus, the Nightshade could eventually cause her own death. Action packed with interesting characters. I enjoyed this story.

Ava Gray's "Skin and Bone" is a novella that shares the story of Silas, who was introduced in the novel Skin Tight. This is my 1st time reading anything from this author. Silas had been experimented on and developed a deadly ability that he managed to keep from the group that had set this up. He's constantly been on the move to keep them from finding him after his escape. While in Ecuador, a major earthquake happens, and he ends up rescuing a woman trapped under rubble, and they end up helping each other. Juneau is an American who was in the country teaching English at a local school. I enjoyed this story quite a bit, and might look into trying to get a copy of Skin Tight!

Jory Strong's "Angel Claimed" was interesting, too. Sajia is a companion to Corinne, a teenage human scion (offspring) of a vampire Family. When Corinne goes missing it is up to Sajia to find her to protect her own family from the Master vampire's wrath. She has no idea that she is the reincarnation of the angel Addai, who has come to claim her. I loved that Sajai stands up to him, and is able to get his help in her responsibility towards finding Corinne. This story definitely has some very graphic erotica.

The last novella is from Lora Leigh's Breed series. Creed Rains is an Enforcer sent to infiltrate a scientist's home and protect his daughter Kita Engalls, who might be used against her father in finding some lost files with information about the Breed's original experiments and formulas. What he is surprised to discover is that Kita is his mate, and he doesn't know how she will react when she finds out the truth about him. And especially how she might deal with the Mating Heat. There's a prologue dealing with her uncle, who is behind a serious threat to one of the Breed couple's daughter. Good story!

Anthologies are always tricky, because not everyone is able to write short stories/novellas.
