Wow. What did I think about this book. GARBAGE! From front to back. Uninspired plotline. Terrible writing. Awful characters. Bad editing. It's to bad she didn't write the book that was in the synopsis about the breed slave traders. That book might have had at least an interesting plot. What has happened to this author. I am beginning to think her husband had a lot more to do with her books than we thought. Because her last 3 books have been horrible and COYOTES MATE was just ok. If her husband d Wow.

I am beginning to think her husband had a lot more to do with her books than we thought. Because her last 3 books have been horrible and COYOTES MATE was just ok. If her husband didn't help her, than did she loose her editor at the same time? LIONS HEAT and STYX'S STORM are the 2 worst books this year for me in both editing and quality of writing. She keeps repeating things over and over, inane conversations, plot points that are never answered, characters not acting like they were previously written. I did not like a single person in this book. She constantly tells instead of showing. Telling us over and over about his love of choc. but she never shows this in the book. She also negates her own rules about the mateing heat. This was a pivotable plot point for her world. Also her story lines are moving at a snails pace. EDITING: When she is leaving the nightclub she puts her hand in the pocket of her jacket to grab the handle of a blaster gun she says she has, then on the next page she puts her hand in her jacket again and grabs a knife and thinks to herself this is the only weapon I have. Also one of the coyotes says to her" all you have is a knife to defend yourself with". How did he know this, she hadn't pulled the knife out yet. Does he have x-ray vision? There were many other problems with continuity. Is anyone at the publishing house even reading these books after she turns them in? I am beginning to wonder. I am so glad I got this from the libary, even so it took me 3 weeks to read. They have on the cover that it is a guaranteed read, if I had purchased it I definatly would have returned it. Goodbye Lora Leigh this book was your final chance with me. I am off to find a much better author who still takes pride in writing a good book and who cares about editing their work. ...more

First paragraph:The bar was hopping, music pounding, drinks flowing smoothly and customers packing the bar area and dance floor. It was one of those country hole-in-the-walls that attracted both criminal elements as well as the upper class and everything in between. It was one of those places Storme could slide into, and her scent became masked by the dozens of sweating, lusty, alcohol-infused bodies that filled it.

Wow, if I could have liked the character of Storme Montague any less, I would hav ...more

A new take on the Mating Heat and after book #22 that is saying something.

Storme Montague is 14 when her father & brother, scientists, are murdered by a coyote breed during the breed rescues and she goes on the run. Her father has given her a data chip with important breed information to be handed over to the person who asks for it correctly.

Ten years later she is still on the run, from the Genetic Council and the Breeds. The Breeds have basically been shadowing her hoping that she will come in ...more
