WOW! I love the way Christine Warren writes and I'm a HUGE fan of her "Others" series. "Walk on the Wild Side" is the 5th book and this time she serves us a wicked hot helping of werelion, or as they prefer Leos. If you've missed out, here are the other books in order in this series: "Wolf at the Door", "She's No Faerie Princess", "The Demon You Know", and "Howl at the Moon". They're hot and they're supernatural.

Kitty was a perfectly normal 24-year-old farmgirl. She was raised by her grandparents after her mother got knocked up at 16 and left her on their doorstep on her way out of town. Kitty always thought her father was a local boy who died before she was born. During a traumatic car wreck, Kitty 'shifts' for the first time and subsequently learns that her father is one of the "Other", a werelion to be specific, and he lives in Las Vegas and has known about her for 23 years. She really doesn't want anything from him except the chance to tell him off but good...OK, and maybe he can help her learn to control this whole lion thing.

Max is the 2nd in command of Kitty's father's pride. He's also about to become the Leo because Kitty's father is dying. When Max is dispatched to pick Kitty up at the airport, he's fully prepared to protect his Leo from his "long-lost, money-hungry, accidental daughter". Instead, he's captivated by this vulnerable, yet strong southern beauty. It doesn't take long before he realizes somebody's out to kill her. It also doesn't take long before he realizes he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and mark her for his own.

Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm...I want me a werelion just like Max. Their attraction sizzles from the first meeting, and the love scenes? Get me some water and a cigarette!
