I really, really liked this book. Mercury's War is my new favorite of the Breeds books because I just loved everything about it. Mercury was an extremely hot and dominating presence and while he was extremely sexy, he was also funny and very intelligent. Ria was a fascinating enigma and I enjoyed the sparks between them. She presents herself to the world as one thing, while inside, she's an entirely different woman and Mercury instantly senses her hidden feminine self. He forces her to bring out her inner animal and the methods he uses are not subtle. Nor is his sexuality. When he made up his mind to have her, Mercury didn't hold anything back. Also, Lora Leigh seems to have an affinity towards males in leather pants. Noah Blake and Clint McIntire to name a few and everytime it seemed to fall flat for me. I just didn't get the appeal, until Mercury walked across the page dressed in leather pants and suddenly, I saw the appeal. Oh, yeah. My only complaint would be that Mercury's animal side has a personality that seems slightly stalkerish. It's inner ramblings came across as the ramblings of a serial killer and I didn't know what to make of it. Also there is a stupid typo that states Taber, not Tamber tries to kidnap David which I thought should have been noted and fixed before release.

I highly recommend this newest book in the Breeds series. It's sexy and fun and there was enough going on behind the scenes to make my mouth water for future books. Lora Leigh has created an extremely compelling and seductive character in Mercury and she's paired him with a more than worthy heroine.]]>
