The Book Gourmet

Roni's been in love with Taber for years, but when Taber one day reneges on his promise to finally act on the blatant attraction between them, leaving her only with a love-bite on her neck, she's devastated and heartbroken.

Fifteen months later it's all over the news. Taber is one of the genetically altered Feline Breeds...And according to that never healed bite mark on her neck, he's also her mate...And also clearly states her as pray for the vindictive members of the Genetic Council.



A bit better than Tempting the Beast, but still much to be desired. At least this one had some fairly good plot in between the "bedroom" scenes, that were still a little too close in between, yet not so similar to make it boring. *big grin*

Once again, the saving grace are the characters. Taber was a little less intense than his predecessor, making the entire experience a little easier to bear and for the reader to glimpse some much needed emotion that was so lacking in the previous book. Well, most of the time he was still pretty much a domineering jerk, but at least he attempted to be civilized about it.
Roni was just Roni, I guess and the reason for Taber's somewhat mellow attitude. With a history of abuse she inspired protectiveness in all around her and despite her initial adversity to the "mating" once she figured out if cannot be helped, she simply went with the flow, instead of stubbornly running away...Which would most certainly have resulted in a chest-thumping, vine-swinging, roaring incident.

The conflict between them was too stretched out, if you ask me, when everything could be quickly and easily resolved with a simple talk. But then we wouldn't have had a story...Oh, well.

My favorite parts were, once more, the scenes with Kane. I love that man. Even an idiot could tell the little digs are just a somewhat perverted form of defense, he's hurting, she doesn't want to talk to him, so he takes it out on all the rest. His eyes tell the whole story, yet everybody still falls for it. I can't wait for his story, the epilogue of this one promises one heck of a ride.
