 Steamy but the heroine is a nitwit October 16, 2008
I loved the premise of the Breeds series (I'm a Sci-Fi fan) and I have to say that there are certainly better books than this in the series.
The most irritating aspect of this book was that the heroine seemed like a nitwit. She has to track down Callan and convince him to come forward,due to her ineptitude, he's aware of the fact that she's spying on him and dogging his steps. She knows that he knows but when she comes face to face with him feigns ignorance! I was so close to putting the book down then and there. She's got people bugging her to do the job she convinced them she could do but all she seems to be able to do is stuff around and be an idiot. Then, to compound her idiocy when she becomes mated to him and absolutely has to be 'with' him in order to stave off incredible pain and who knows what other ramifications, she goes running off having tantrums the whole time trying to get her big brothers to save her. I just wanted to take her and throttle her.
That said, if you just want the steamy scenes, there are plenty of them (which is the only reason I bumped it up to 3 stars instead of 2).
Oh, and the whole yelling of "MINE!" was getting just a bit out of hand - enough already!
 Raunchy at its best October 5, 2008
Tempting the Beast is the epitome of what Lora Leigh is all about. Raw, sexy, primal. She doesn't fail to deliver. If you are looking for sweet, star gazing, chaste love, don't get this book. Its hot, erotic sex to the extreme with an interesting story thrown in. If that's what you are looking for, this is your book!

OMG, this is one the most tantilizing romanticas I have read. It is full of action, tempting banter, and vivid steamy scenes. It keeps you diving for more.

Tempting The Beast starts out with Merinus Tyler arguing with her testosterone loaded male family members that she is capable of tracking down Callan Lyons, a genetically modified male who could become the investigative story of the century. She argues that as a woman she can get Callan to talk to her. Understandably, her brothers and father are not excited by her logic. However, Merinus has been half in lust with Callan since the moment she saw his photo and can't deny this inexplicable pull to talk to him, to see him. The moment she does, that lust ramps up to something neither she or Callan can resist. It becomes a chemical and emotional reaction that terrifies Merinus. It is a complete loss of reason and all they can do is feed the raging mating lust that consumes them.
Callan Lyons has been hiding from the soldiers the Council members have been sending after him since he was twenty. He had been bred in their labs to become a perfect, genetically altered killing machine. One terrible explosion later and Callan and his pack members run for their lives, and their right to live. Luckily they have with them a scientist from the Council who cares for them and helps them understand the ever changing DNA complications in their bodies. When the mating heat strikes Callan and Merinus down hard, it is this evolving science that might save their Pride and bring Callan a sense of family. Unfortunately betrayal within their ranks brings the Council back into their lives and danger to Merinus. Callan's genetic lion DNA comes roaring to life at the thought of harm to his mate. His only hope might be to bring his Pride out of hiding and into the public eye but will that be enough to keep the Council off their backs and Merinus from their labs?
Lora Leigh's first book in the Feline Breeds series was one hot, orgasmic, shuddering, adjective filled romance. While some parts had me rolling my eyeballs, I still liked it. The beginning parts of the book had me practically panting and there were shivers running up and down my spine, as well as other naughty parts. I loved how Callan tried to pass himself off as just a man but when his lion side came roaring out, it was scorching! He finds this need to dominate and possess Merinus and when his barb emerges for the first time, it was seriously weird and damned hot at the same time. You'll have to read it to find out what I mean. And for those who like to know, there was no menage in this story. This was my second Breed book (I've read Megans Mark) and I can't wait to read more.
