Product Description
Feline Breeds - Kiss of Heat By Lora Leigh Book 3 in the Feline Breeds series. They've waited a decade to come together. Long years filled with unbearable pain, and soul-wrenching torment that have changed them both. Left wounds that have laid their souls bare. Wounds that stand one chance of healing if only they could stop fighting each other long enough for the truth to work its healing balm. Kane, a relentless warrior, lost more than his heart to Sherra in a night of mating passion that marked them both for life. But news of her death ripped his soul apart. For years he has fought to avenge the death of the woman he loved more than his own life, by revealing the deceit and cruelty of the Council that created the Breeds. But Sherra didn't die. In a cruel and evil twist she was convinced by her sadistic handlers that the man she had given her body, heart and soul to had betrayed not only her, but the child she carried and lost. Amid the rapidly escalating violence against the Feline Breeds, Kane and Sherra learn that there's more to mating than just the "heat", just as there's more to love than just the sex

This was alright. I wasn't as impressed by this as I was with the first two Feline Breed books. Sherra was too much of a downer for me to like it. I know she suffered, I know she was hurt, abused and betrayed. Get over it. Kane didn't betray her. She knew it, everyone else knew it, yet she still persisted on giving him the cold shoulder. I didn't understand it. He was as much a victim as she was, yet she was blaming him and punishing him throughout 3/4s of the book. Pity, party of one.
The sex was as hot as could be, when they finally do have sex. Of the three Feline Breeds books, Kane and Sherra hold out the longest against the mating heat. Which wasn't a problem but since Sherra hates Kane so much, there was no passion in their sex. It was just relief for them. They might as well have been two ships passing in the night. I didn't like that. I also felt that Kane's dominance was overblown. I was reticent to read this book because I was afraid he wouldn't be able to match Callan or Taber's animal aggression and now I know Lora Leigh probably worried about the same thing. So she overcompensates and in my humble opinion, it was too much. Kane wasn't all bad though. He has great love and affection for Cassie, the little wolf cub that lives with the Pride and his interactions with her were, unfortunately, the best parts of the book for me. Also, he has some of the best zingers, which he happily fires off indiscriminately among the Pride. "Do you think I can't imagine the hell she went through, you purring bag of mismatched genetics?" Priceless.
The use of the Council and the purists who keep managing to sneak onto the property is getting old. At this point, I'm thinking they need to rework their security infrastructure because it's not working. Just a thought, just a thought. If I was Merinus or Roni, I would demand 24/7 bodyguard protection because it's obviously not safe. Especially whenever an alarm is tripped because when the males go haring off, no one has caught on to the fact that it's a trap. As the last two times and every time before that would suggest.
I don't know if I was just reading too fast, trying to get this book over with or what, but I felt like some passages were not clearly written. I was confused as to what was happening, who was saying what and to whom. Part of the reason was that Kiss of Heat is actually not next after The Man Within. Apparently, Lora Leigh wrote them out of order and Elizabeth's Wolf is next after The Man Within, and then Kiss of Heat. So there was some byplay I was not getting, which was fine, but I felt that the epilogue was poorly written, regardless. Almost as if they were tacked on as an afterthough, in order to pave the way for the next book.
Anyways, this was book wasn't bad, it wasn't great, it was just alright. Which was a shame. Kane and his sense of humor was really funny at first but just as Sherra wore him down and defeated him, she wore me down, too. :(

Kiss of Heat (Feline Breeds, Book 3)
The third installment of the feline breed storyline is just as good as the rest and while it could stand alone as they say. Read the first two for real enjoyment. Hope to see more.
The heat was scorching! May 31, 2008
One word, Kane. If you're not melting yet you will be. The man is so sensual and sexy! I like heroines who save themselves but with Kane saving Sherra you really don't mind. The language is sorching and dirty, it makes Kane seem very real yet I imagine if a person said some of that to me I'd smack them. If they looked like Kane maybe not. As a momma my heart went out to Sherra completely. I know how difficult it is to lose a baby who hasn't even been born yet. You never have the chance to hold that child and yet your arms ach in memory. For a very long time there is nothing but tears. Sherra manages to be both heronine and mother. But I really want to see a full Momma type in this series. Someone who is always open and vulnerable to everybody. Someone soft who smothers everybody with food and love weither they want it or not. I think the Breeds need a mother, especially the grown up ones. They shouldn't allow people to take their childhood from them, they should reclaim it. Sometimes being a kid has nothing to do with age and it'd be nice if they could be kids every now and then. Maybe a housekeeper with a couple of kids under her belt who knows her way around people like the back of her hand. It'd be a kick if she had a bit of a temper and a strong will and turned out to be Jonas's mate. Talk about polar opposites.
