The Breed series

This is another series I am working on reading through. Very enticing love scenes between the characters, not for young readers. The tales told will draw you into the book and it is hard to put them down. Am totally loving this series. Wish I could afford to buy them all at once, but then I would probably have a reading marathon and I unfortunately need my sleep.

love the breed series

this book is hot! hot! hot!. i love the breed series by lora leigh because her characters seem so real and i would really love to get to know them. kane and sherra in this book have been through so much. you feel sherra's pain over the heartaches in her life and you want her to find happiness. kane is so determined to love sherra and to make her his, how could you not fall in love with him? no matter what obstacles life throws at them they are meant to be together it just takes sherra a little longer to realize this. once you start reading you will not put it down until you finish it!

Same Wonderful Breed Series - Different Perspective

"Kiss of Heat" is book number three in Leigh's engagingly hot and pulse-pounding Breed series. The first in the series to feature the anomalies of the Breeds, as experienced by one of their female members, makes this installment a totally new experience for fans. The differences in the female breeds are just as interesting to read about as the males. However, the experiences that the female breeds suffered while under Council control were much more terrifying and brutal. Kiss of Heat delves into more forbidden territory, revealing to readers even more of the sordid machinations of that secret government agency and the consequences they had on the female Breeds. Sherra Lyons is a haunted woman. Haunted by memories that slowly threaten her sanity and well-being in general, she has turned to the only thing that has kept her going since her escape from the Council labs - hatred. Hatred for the soldiers who violated her, hatred for a world that is bent on destroying her and her family, but most of all, hatred for the one man she thought she could trust with her heart. She has waited for eleven years to face, once again, the soldier that stole her body, her mind and her heart in the secret labs of the Genetics Council, and now that time has come. Kane Tyler, brother to Merinus, who we saw in Tempting the Beast, has believed Sherra to be dead all this time. Thinking she died in the fires that ravaged the Council labs, he has been valiantly trudging through a bleak existence, doing the only thing he thinks he has left to do, to help the Breeds in any way he can. Imagine his shock when Sherra confronts Kane, not with the love he thought he remembered, but with malice. Determined to have the woman that his body, and yes, his heart have been burning for, he wages an all out personal assault on her, determined to make her see him as her mate. As their unsure world continues to explode around them with danger, intrigue and passion, both will have to come to terms with the animal lust that has them in its grip. "Kiss of Heat", for me, has packed the most emotional punch so far in the Breed series. Maybe seeing the effects of the Council's evil purposes in one of the female Breeds is much easier for a female reader to relate to. Some horrors that Sherra experienced at their hands are things that can happen to any woman in real life, making her story seem much closer to home. I wept for all the Sherra went through, but was so glad she had a mate like Kane, strong supportive and sensitive, to step in and care for her. This third book in the series has a nice mix of plot as well as well-developed and emotional characters. We're introduced to even more of the feline Breed members, with good setups for future books in the series. While I was desperately hoping that Dawn's, Sherra's sister's story, would be next, it seems that Tanner's story is the next in line. Leigh is currently reworking some of her books, preparing them for print and I for one cannot wait to ge

COVER TO COVER READ....HOT. HOT. HOT.

Summary: Third book in the series....This is the story of Kane and Sherra...Destined to be mates but can't stop arguing with each other...Kane has thought Sherra dead for years but Sherra shows up one day to kill him. Sherra vowed to kill Kane after he abandoned her in the breed labs. When Sherra goes into heat she can't bear the pain of not having relations with Kane. Kane then steps up to the plate and forces her hand... The story line is excellent as usual for this author...I can't get enough of Lora Leigh... Hopefully she continues with this series I love how all her characters interact in all her books.. It's like following their life, you get right into the book and feel it.. A MUST READ !!!

Kane and Sherra's story sizzles! Another great Breed read!

This is the third in Lora Leigh's Feline Breeds Series (first was TEMPTING THE BEAST; second was THE MAN WITHIN) and it is another terrific, steamy read which advances the story of the Breeds and their quest for acceptance by society. The time period in which KOH takes place overlaps with her last, stand alone Wolf Breed story, ELIZABETH'S WOLF, and I think it helps to read that book before this one as some of the characters from that book (Dash, Elizabeth and Cassie) appear in this book and references to them (especially Cassie) may be a bit unclear to those who haven't read EW. Plus, EW is a great book and you should read it anyway! Optimally one should read all three mentioned prior books to fully understand the ongoing saga of the Breeds and what has led to the events in KISS OF HEAT, but I read some of them out of order and followed along okay. Kane Tyler is former military and had infiltrated the secret labs of The Genetics Council eight years ago before the public knew of the experiments that took place there. Humans with animal DNA were being created to be super soldiers, but treated like little more than animals for experimentation. There he met Sherra, a beautiful blonde with snow leopard DNA. In his undercover role as a guard he is recruited to mate with Sherra in order to see if she will be able to breed. After being with her, he is determined to get her out of this hell, but is thwarted in his attempt. When explosions rock the labs Kane accepts that all inside, including Sherra, have perished. Kane has carried his bitter grief for the loss of Sherra for the last eight years fueling his desire to bring The Council down. Unbeknownst to Kane, Sherra survived the explosions believing that Kane had lied to her about getting her out and simply left her behind to her living hell. Now, years later, she plans to avenge herself when she finally meets Kane again. Kane's sister Merinus is married to Sherra's fellow Breed Callan (their story is TEMPTING THE BEAST) and he has joined forces with the Breeds to protect them from the "blood supremacists" whose goal is to annihilate all Breeds. He is stunned to see Sherra alive and well, and what follows are several steamy, tension-filled encounters wherein each begins to learn just what has happened to the other over the past eight years. There is much heartache here, especially for Sherra, and Kane's pain and frustration that he was not able to be there for her is palpable. And their sexual relationship is steaming! The Breed males in this series are as uber alpha as you can get, and Kane fits right in! He loves to give orders and expects them to be obeyed. Too bad Sherra is a strong person in her own right and is not easily cowed by the domineering Kane. Not that Kane is totally one-dimensional - he's capable of great tenderness and his love for Sherra is obvious behind his bluster. Another terrific, fast-paced, action-packed and sexy read from Ms Leigh! I just love her Breeds Series. There is

Another terrific, fast-paced, action-packed and sexy read from Ms Leigh! I just love her Breeds Series and I just finished SOUL DEEP, her newest release and the first book about a Coyote breed (it's also great BTW and Dash, Elizabeth and Cassie feature in this one as well!). Very highly recommended!!
