The Leopard Series by Christine Feehan

 Another series by the fab writer Christine Feehan.


 After reading her Carpathian series, which does have a book that  features part of the leopard species/story in it, I thought I'd give her leopard series a whirl and I'm very glad I did.


 The Awaking starts off the series and it is actually a short story about a woman, Maggie, who is lead to the forest to find out information about her dead parents and ends up finding herself in more ways than one. It was a well written short story and I'm glad that this was not the end of the leopard series (ha wouldn't be series if it ended there now would it.)


Wild Rain, the second book in the series, follow Rachel, a young woman on the run with a million dollar price tag on her head. She fakes her own death and finds herself in the middle of the rain forest living in the home of a very dangerous man. Rio returns to his home to find this young woman whom he believes was sent to kill him. Neither counted on falling in love with each other and risk their lives trying to eliminate the threat from Rachel. Very enjoyable second entry to the series.


 Burning Wild, the third book in the series, was FANTASTIC. I've read a lot of reviews that haven't been
 favorable.. and granted this isn't a pretty love story but it's a story that really gets you. I couldn't put this book down. Now I know I've said that before.. but no really.. if I had to put this book down for any amount of time I was thinking about the book, speculating what was coming next, reflecting on what I just read. It truly got me.. hook line and sinker. Whats the book about? A disturbed young man who is raised by an evil sadistic family who falls in love with a woman that turns his life completely around while teaching him about love, how to love and how to be loved.


Wild fire, the fourth book in the series, was a bit slow in the beginning, better in the middle.. and really picked up in the end. After coming off the previous page turner I was a bit disappointed but by the end of the book I was again captured by story  The story revolves around a couple, Isabeau and Connor, with a multitude of issues involving trust, betrayal and love. Connor played a part in the death of Isabeau's father and used her to get close to him during a mission. Neither knew at the time that they were destined to be with each other. Isabeau reaches out for Connor and his team to rescue kids that were kidnapped by a big time drug dealer. The reunited couple fall in love all over again and make one hell of team in their fight to rescue the children.


I'm really anxious to read the next entry in this series.. though I haven't seen or heard any news about when that may be! Hopefully the series continues for quite a few more books!
