Coyote Breeds 2
Featured Couple: Del-Rey (Coyote) & Anya (Human)
Any badass and renegade man has a certain sex appeal in romance novels. Imagine a guy like that who also has coyote DNA and an army of coyote Breeds soldiers to command. Del-Rey is the number one ultra-cool, military genius, leader.
Normally, coyotes are considered cowardly and untrustworthy animals and the attitudes towards them are largely negative among Breeds. They are the Council’s soldiers and have trained to torture a ...more

Kickass Coyote Alpha mates badass Russian girl!
This book was awesome but I can’t say too much about it without giving away spoilers. I can give away the first few pages though. Del Ray Delgado a.k.a. Ghost is a Coyote Breed that works with his team to free other Coyote breeds from Labs around the world. Anya Korbin is a human who basically grew up in a Lab in Russia, Her Dad ran the Lab for the council and three of her cousins also worked at the lab.

Lora Leigh's latest Breed book will singe your fingers and leave you begging for the next story set in her world of hybrid human-animals and the women (and men) they love. "Coyote's Mate" gives readers their first deep look at the Coyote breeds and their similarities and differences from the other Breed groups.
Del-Ray is the Coyote Alpha who survived hell, refused to bend to his human 'creators', and fought his way to freedom taking as many of his kind with him as he could manage. When a young s ...more

Why do I keep picking up Lora Leigh books? I've never given one of her stories a rating over a 2 and yet, at least once a year, I'll breakdown and buy one of her novels. This is mostly because her futuristic world featuring genetically altered humans (aka Breeds) is fascinating. I always go into her books hoping that this will be the one that I absolutely love, but that never happens. Mostly because the relationships featured in the series are pretty disturbing. I hate how little control the her

Even though I am a big fan of Lora Leigh's Breed series, this particular novel was a disaster. Or at least it was to me. The reader is constantly told how "strong" Anya is, and yet we never see any evidence of it. Ever. She completely let's Del-Rey walk all over her, and the "mating heat" is used as an excuse for this. Instead of standing up for herself, Anya is so overcome by her hormones, she can't help but jump Del-Rey as soon as he says or does something atrociously sexist.

Loved, loved, loved, Lora Leigh's newest edition to her Breed series! Smoking HOT!
It was an absolute roller-coaster ride. You go through an entire gamut of emotions with this one. From anger, to happiness, to shock, to frustration, to relief, to everything in between! I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this book, there wasn't one thing I would change, except maybe make it longer! If you're a Lora Leigh fan, you won't be disappointed with this one! ...more

I absolutely love the Coyote Breeds and I am so happy to see the development of their community.
Great plot development. Kick butt action and oh so very hot, smoldering explicit sex. But it’s more than that….it’s the two mc’s in this story that worked for me and not forgetting the three female coyotes…I adored adored Ashley……………
Del-Ray & Anya are a formidable couple. This is no helpless female. She’s strong, independent, loyal, loving….I mean, she’s the Coya and she can run Haven, the Coyote com ...more

Lora Leigh continues to reign supreme! I fall more and more in love with this author and her amazing writing with each novel she releases. 'Coyote's Mate' brought forth within me a surge of emotions while satisfying my insatiable need for great erotica. While humor is easy to open within me, bringing tears to my eyes is a much more difficult endeavor. At first I feared that I was going to have to grade 'Coyote's Mate' really low because the hero, Del-Rey, really pissed me off on several occasion

This is one of my favorite stories in the Breed series. I think one of the big things that fixes my attention on it is the fact that it is so unlike the other books in the series so far. Anya and Del-Rey mated, but due to his manipulations, and her her rage about said manipulations, ended up granted an official order of separation from the breed council. This was the first order of its kind and although it didn't please Del-Rey, it gave Anya some much needed breathing room.

Loved this! It had so much passion love and loyalty between the main leads but the friendships between the female lead and her three coyote bodyguards was just the sweetest
Initially, I thought I would really like Coyote’s Mate. I suppose that I did, in one sense. It’s certainly a roller coaster of a story.
Anya Kobrin meets Del-Ray Delgado at a bar in Russia when she’s sixteen. She works in a lab with Coyote Breeds but is secretly working to free them. She works with Del-Ray, as long as he promises not to harm her friends and family when he goes to break out the coyotes. He promises her, but fully intends to break that promise. And he does.

If I had to choose, I would say that Lora Leigh's Coyote’s Mate is my favorite Breed book. I read all of the Breed books, one immediately after the other, over the span of six weeks. I started in order (always recommend you do that with a series!!) with the Ellora's Cave books which were steamy, had a basic premise that held me but the story was woven around sex scenes as opposed to the sex scenes being integrated into the story. Still, yummy reads – I can’t deny I didn’t eat them up. But then c

This is my first Lora Leigh book (I might have read a Blaze or two) and I'm just not sure how to take it. The story is that of Anya and Del Rey. Anya is a young human that is kidnapped by Del Rey (a Coyote Breed Alpha) and forced to be his mate. How they work together and how they overcome the roadblocks each throws in the path of their relationship is what the book is supposed to be about. However, the Coyote breeds are also waging a war with the world at large. This is the far more interesting

Decent read. I've read the previous books (at least most of them) and this one was slightly better than the others. However, it does get repetitive at times. (You've been warned)

The first half of the book was good...but I should have known it was going to fall apart towards the end. I have only read one other book of hers and I thought the same thing. She has a great storyline, a shitload of angst, but the balance is way off. There is no pay off in the end, so all it does is leave me feeling like I wish I hadn't invested so much time in this story.
Del Ray betrayed Anya in the beginning and I loved how she took him to "court" for a separation. She wasn't bitchy, but she ...more

The pros:
* The secondary characters were great
* Once the sex started it was steamy
The cons:
* I tired of the heroine constantly fighting her bond to her mate
* 22 year old book virgin (although she wasn’t the annoying book virgin type...thankfully) It just felt unrealistic
*There were some long spells where I felt it were too political - a lot of time was spent discussing Breed Laws etc. but it seemed to be too much. This book was 368 pages long and it almost felt "too long" at times. L ...more

This wasn't fun to read.
The male & his choices were frustrating and hurtful.
There was some touching/sad moments...that weren't fun to read but were written well.
Delray/Anya (couple)
Delray realized the errors of his ways & made up for them in the end.
However it is hard to read 90% of book as one way...and only 10% at end happy.
Anya was turned away & not given her due the whole book...she is fighting to prover herself.
She is a victim in so many ways even though she is a strong woman.

Great continuation of the Breeds.. Del-Ray was such an ass for most of the book! But I'm glad everything turned out good! I forgot how long her books can be..and after reading so many in a row.. they all seem the same after awhile..especially the sex scenes. I may take a break from her for a few books and then come back to Bengal's Heart.. the teaser in the epilogue was good!

I have been waiting for this book as well!! Anya and Del are a super hot couple!!! Really liked the story arc and all the wonderful steamy scenes!! I can not wait for more coyote breed books!! They are the bad boys of the breeds world and what girl can resist trying to reform a bad boy!!
This has to be my favourite breed book. I love del-rey with his arrogate manly alpha character. I loved to read more about Brim n jax.
