He keeps his emotions on a tight leash, but she can see the desire burning in his eyes…Timur Amurov has one purpose in life: protect his family at all costs. With lethal skills honed from a violent upbringing, Timur is a leopard shifter who sees any newcomers as possible threats–and the petite blond barista who his sister-in-law, Evangeline, has hired to work in her bakery is definitely hiding … definitely hiding something. While Timur still needs to determine if Ashe is an enemy, he does know that she is the only woman whose presence has ever truly calmed the beast roaring inside of him.
Ashe Bronte is well aware she has a type: sexy, gorgeous and dangerous as hell. Despite the fact that Timur is all those things and more, Ashe is in San Antonio for reasons that do not involve getting wild with a ruthless leopard–and she cannot afford to make any mistakes.

Love this book!
Love the whole Series
Once again, Christine Feehan has created a great read with this addition to the Leopard Series. Leopard ‘s Run is the story of Timur Amurov and Ashe Bronte. “If you have been brutally broken but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself.” (Nikita Gill) is a quote that brings this story to light for me.
Timur feels he is terribly broken, abused his whole life to become the monster his father wanted him to be. He believes that there is no happiness to be found for him so he will use the monster within to protect those he calls family, so they can be happy. No matter how much it weighs on him and his conscience.
Ashe comes into his life looking for some way to get revenge on those who killed her parents. Ironically, she brings those he and his family left behind, family who wants to see them destroyed. The Uncles Timur has sworn to sacrifice everything to protect those he loves from. She is a woman raised to be independent and trained to defend herself in order to survive as well as, she finds out, to defend herself from her parents’ past.
This couple is a perfect balance of opposites and similarities. As their relationship grows, they learn to trust each other, to reveal the secrets they keep. Both learn they can be honest and open with each other, that no thought need to be censored or words carefully chosen. Ashe finds she feels safe with him…that he will be himself with her, the mask he wears can be dropped, that with her and any children he can be loving.
He gives her ways to keep her independence and Timur finds he can have happiness with someone strong enough not only to hear the strain his role in the family places on him but is strong enough to help him, fight with and for him, to make his world lighter, a place with laughter and warmth. She accepts the choice he’s made to walk the fine line of criminal and defender of the innocent. To end the terror The Bratya cause with drugs, guns and human trafficking. A calling he can’t walk away from. She helps him see he is not what happened to him, not who his father wanted him to be but who he chooses to be.
As their bond strengthens so does their bond with family. It’s wonderful to see how as love enters their lives they realize, acknowledge, a camaraderie, love, with family. They find that allies are friends and those to look to as examples of life after their abusive past. They work together and with allies to stay ahead of the trouble that followed her and found them. Doing so they discover other enemies around them. Christine does an amazing job keeping you wondering, making a long list of suspects with familiar names, some pulling at your heart hoping they are wrong. Your heart going out to Timur as he works to weed out who must be stopped. Happy to see Ashe will stay by his side and understands what he goes through, not to mention she is a badass when it comes to defending herself and those she has come to care about.
With some enemies defeated, some being hunted in other territories, and the wheels in motion to draw out The Uncles, preparing to face them instead of looking over their shoulder, Timur, Ashe, and their family are able to breathe for the moment. And the reader gets to absorb another happily ever after by Christine Feehan with her masterful balance of emotion, action, humor, passion, and the anticipation of what’s next.
Loved the story from beginning to the last page. Everything she writes takes me to that place.
A lot like Lora Leigh’s breeds. Enjoyable read.
I love it. It has everything you want in a book.
All her books no matter which series you read are “WONDERFUL” In my top 5 favorite authors.
I always look forward to the books in this series and Leopard’s Run was worth the wait.
Timur has always been the emotionless, guarded enforcer for Fyodor; ice in his eyes and running in his veins. A man/leopard on the edge. A borderline psychopath.
Ashe is on the run seeking “refuge” with Evangeline. She is definitely more than what you expect. She calms those around her, and for Timur, she answers in him the bloodthirsty leopard raging to be set free. Her own leopard is emerging and when she mates with Temnyy, both humans and leopards set everything afire in the vicinity.
He’s going to protect everyone around him even if it drags him further the darkness. It’s who he is. She is a spitfire and will not tolerate being controlled. She learned to protect herself as a child, and that instinct is dead accurate.
The world of leopards is easy to get lost in. And having all of the characters I love come together makes this another winner.
I enjoy all of her boks
I read all of Ms. Feehan books love all her characters.
As always, she has written a book I’ll be reading more then once
