Leopard’s Fury (Leopard People #8)

Another book I pre-ordered. Maybe I have to stop reading Christine Feehan. *whimper* Basically, this story is, \”You are mine. You are mine. You are mine. I\’m a dangerous criminal. You are mine.\” What\’s with all the heroes being criminals???? Do you really want to date a criminal??? I couldn\’t help my mind playing out the image of the hero ending up in jail, and the heroine having to raise a child on her own in an environment where everyone wants to kill her. So–deep breath–I put down this book at least three times, rolling my eyes so hard, I think I fell asleep. Seriously. It\’s pages and pages of, \”You\’re mine. Mine to keep. We\’re a done deal. You belong with me. I own you. You\’re not going anywhere. I keep what\’s mine. I own you body and soul. You\’re mine, you\’re mine, you\’re mine.\” Although this book had potential at the start, it quickly died with the premise of a criminal with possessive tendencies. I feared she\’d wake up and have him choking her because she said a different guy\’s name in her sleep. He was a maniac. She loved it. Why? Not sure. Which just about sums up my feelings for this book. I hate to say that the criminal element in this author\’s novels is wearing so thin, it\’s transparent, but hey, anything else would be a lie.

WOW!! I want to say to all the Christine Feehan fans who have been disappointed with some of her past stories that she listen to her fans and she is back to being the excellent storyteller we all knew she was. Leopard\’s Prey is about the story. Sometimes I felt like I was reading the Godfather, but with a new uptake on it with Leopards!! Leopard\’s Fury is not sex sex sex this is action packed fierce Leopards and them protecting there mates. I fell in love with the heroine Evangeline Trege which we met a few books back in the series and her Fierce Leopard Mate Alonzo Massi \”aka\” Fyodor Amurov. I am almost speechless at how great this couple is. OMG Evangeline has a fierce alpha female Leopard Bebe. Lots of Kick Ass action and ask question later to all of Alonzo\’s enemies. We get to spend a lot of time with all the previous lead characters from the other Leopard People series. It almost felt like a reunion of all the characters. Emma\’s baby is born. There is a bit of repetitive sentences, but not many. It won\’t bother you. When we do get to the sex about 63% into the story its pure sensual sexy hot sex!! Leopards Fury is about the story, the action and the falling in love of a couple and less about the sex!! As a very long time Fan of Christine Feehan I can\’t express how much I loved this story and I am so excited that CF is back to writing in her former style but has bought her stories into the world of today!! I Highly Recommend Leopard\’s Fury!! You won\’t regret reading it. 1 like

I absolutely adore Christine Feehan. This series is turning into one of my favorites. To be honest, i have never read one of her books and not given it 5 stars. Just like this story about Fyodor and Evangeline, both characters had severely hard lives, they find each other and work through their problems and troubles and find love . Just as it should be. I am addicted to Christine. I just don\’t know any other way to say it. I\’m waiting for the next book to come out, I believe it\’s our Ghost Walker series . I just can\’t wait.

I liked the love story the most, the way it took them a long time to come together. I liked the way she wanted him but not his lifestyle & the struggle she went through to accept him. I liked how he melted his ice cold heart just for her & I liked how strong she was in standing up to his bossy ways, yet gave in to him when it was important. They make a very well balanced couple. Ive actually read or listened to this book 3-4 times now & it i always as good as I. remember. Really the only thing I didnt like was there was too much sex, especially the part where she came into heat, I didnt like that at all, but that is a hallmark of Christine Feehans books, so I just skipped over most of it.

This is the ninth book in the Leopard series. I really enjoyed this one. The pace, time wise, was a bit slower than in the other books. I am referring here to the development of the relationship between the main characters. Alonzo/Fyodor and Evangeline \’s love affair develops slowly over time and in my opinion made for a much closer bond between them. The continuing story line is good and strong. The characters are strong and likable. The potential for more stories based on the characters in the book is very promising. Alonzo, never imagining he\’d ever find his true mate, walks into the Small Sweet Shoppe and there she is. Evangeline, owner of the little bakery, recognizes him immediately for what he is, a very dangerous man. Both that does not stop her from feeling an immediate attraction to this unknown stranger. Both come from a brutal nightmarish background. Alonzo struggles every day to keep his ferocious leopard under control. He finds that his leopard is calm around Evangeline. He continues to come into the bakery on a regular basis, saying as little as possible but always watching Evangeline. Evangeline\’s business picks up. Something unspoken slowly develops between the two. Evangeline\’s shop is used to hold a private meeting between local crime bosses and one of them disrepects her and is verbally put down by the others. When he is refused a concession from the group, he blames Evangeline. He puts a hit out on her, but Alonzo thinks it is a hit on him. After she is injured and Alonzo finds out the truth, it is then no holds barred on all his and her enemies. Alonzo brings her into his life fully and she comes kicking and screaming but develops an affection for not only him but his brother and cousins also, calling them \”her boys\”. This book touched on quite a few themes, among them family, loyalty, commitment, acceptance and love. I seriously hope future books in this series will be more like this one.
