Product Description
She brought him back from death and made him live again. Dash thought himself alone, a soldier, a fighting machine and no more. Elizabeth made him realize he was a man. Danger surrounds the woman his soul marked as his mate, death and blood and a treachery that goes beyond even his worst nightmares. But he will protect her and what she claims as her own. He was created to kill, trained to do it efficiently, and only a man bound to her, heart and soul, will have the strength to save Elizabeth and her prized possession. He was a lone wolf. A man alone. No pack, no family, no one to call his own until one single, innocent letter awoke Elizabeth's wolf.

 I loved it October 19, 2008
Elizabeth's Wolf is another winner from Lora Leigh. This book has the longest length so far (that I've read) out of all her Ellora's Cave published Breed books, so we get excellent story telling plus all the hot, naughty, nekkid sex Lora Leigh could throw at us. This book was smoking hot and Dash was delicious! I really liked Elizabeth too and all the cute glimpses I got with Cassie in Kiss of Heat, I got even more of in Elizabeth's Wolf.
Dash was a really take charge kind of man and only in a romance novel can a man walk into this kind of situation and just take over and get away with it. Much less be thought of as hot and sexy. His concern and immediately connection with Cassie was soooo adorable as was his concern and all consuming lust for Elizabeth. I hope this doesn't come across as sick, but I actually really liked Cassie and Dash's father/daughter relationship more than Dash and Elizabeth's slightly combative, lover relationship. Dash and Elizabeth were absolutely scorching together but whenever Cassie was around, I just found her to be so adorable and an absolute scene stealer. Manipulative and sweet and achingly trusting. She was the type of little girl you want to gather up in your arms and never let go. I would have fed her all the bits of chocolate I could have just to keep a smile on her face. Cassie has got a serious chocolate fetish and I can't wait for her to grow up and read about what kind of woman she's going to be.
This one really expounded on the greed of people and what lengths the Council will go to to get their hands on the Breed children born outside the labs. The man hunting Elizabeth and Cassie was really disgusting and I thought his end was not nearly painful enough. Call me bloodthirsty but I wanted gory, screaming torture.
The ending seemed a little rush to me. I felt Lora Leigh could have weighed out the middle and the end better but all in all, I loved it. Dash was absolutely adorable and I loved his need-no-one attitude. When all his friends came out of the woodwork to come to his aid, I thought it was sooooo sweet. This was really the most "awwww" worthy of the Breed books and I just loved everything about it. It was so achingly sweet and I loved how the Breed community came together and rallied around Cassie. While it was sexy and steamy as only Lora leigh can write, I really enjoyed the sense of family this book had. I highly recommend Elizabeth's Wolf as another excellent addition to the Breeds series. Enjoy!
Never Disappointing August 17, 2008
Lora Leigh has outdone herself with this sexy and ever so erotic series. Every book is more exciting than first. I LOVE IT!!!
 Pretty good, but could have been better. July 18, 2008
This book is part of the Wolf Breed series which is an offshoot of the Feline Breeds series. The Genetics Council used genetic experimentation to create humans with animal DNA, called Breeds. The Breeds were tortured, experimented upon and kept in captivity, but eventually escaped. The Council and other groups are trying to capture and/or kill them.
Dash is part wolf. He has spent twelve years in the army and Special Forces. Cassie selects his name as part of a school project to write letters to men in the services. They become pen pals. When he realizes that Cassie and her mother Elizabeth are in danger and living on the run, he takes a leave from the service to help them.
I recently read Death Angel by Linda Howard. It gave an excellent description of how Drea was on the run from bad guys. The author described many smart things that she did to survive, and many smart things that Simon did to find her. In Wolf Breeds, Elizabeth has been on the run for two years from bad guys. Dash has been searching for her for six months because he wants to help. The author doesn't tell me how the bad guys keep finding her or how Dash found her. I would have liked that, but I realize this is supposed to be more about erotic sex than a typical romantic suspense novel. However, I think it would have been easy to add a little more plot development and take away some of the "ponderings in the mind about what to do" that Elizabeth does early in the story and Dash does later in the story.
The first part of the story was better than the last part. The first part was meeting, finding, protecting, being on the run and developing a relationship. The last part was preparing and planning to get the bad guy.
There were fewer sex scenes than I expected, but they lasted several pages. There was a thread of anger or roughness to them. Since he is a Breed, Dash has a couple of physical differences from human males that occur during sex.
CAUTION SPOILER:
I was surprised and enjoyed Dash borrowing a military Hummer with night vision to travel with Elizabeth during a snow storm.
Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes six, some several pages long. Setting: current day U.S. Copyright 2004. Genre: erotic paranormal romance.

 Elizabeth's Wolf May 30, 2008
I am a sucker for the breeds series but particularly if it involves a child. All my protectiveness comes out as does Wolfe's. This is a man who as tries not to make friends. He considers himself a loner little does he know that all those acts of kindness has not gone unnoticed. He will need all those friends and allies to save Elizabeth and her daughter from the experimentation of the evil genetics' council. They are the ones that think of breeds as not human but animals. It was another great read. This story is a continuation of the breed series. Everyone has a preconceived notion of the coyote breeds, they are the merciless hunters used by the genetics council. This is not the case with Kiowa. He has been asked to keep an eye on the president's daughter. He is certainly unsuspecting that this is his mate. What follows is fast paced and riveting, as he tries to keep her safe from those who would kidnap her. Yes, anything that would keep a bill from passing that makes the breeds responsible for their own future.
