Experience the feral passion of the Leopard people in this thrilling novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.Bred by capricious parents for his innate leopard-shifting abilities, billionaire Jake Bannacotti has spent his life in an emotional vacuum—especially after a tragic twist of fate left him to raise his infant son alone. But when his path crosses that of an … path crosses that of an enigmatic young woman, Jake’s life takes a detour he never fathomed.
There is something irresistible about Emma Reynolds—something Jake can’t live without. Hiring her as his son’s nanny will keep her close. And warm. And under watch. She’s the first human to stir something in Jake he’s never felt before. But she may not be at all what she seems. And what’s raging between them is pure animal instinct—out of control, burning wild, and as hot as the lick of a flame.

Rising above the fire
Each book in this series is better than the one before it. The author continues to take us back into a world where leopards walk like men, hot alpha males rule their homes, and their passionate women let them think they do. I loved watching the growth of Jake as the story progressed and how Emma stood strong in her faith in the relationship. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
5 out of 5 stars!!! Very well written!! I was addicted from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down! I loved how Jake’s childhood was written in a way that you got to see flashes of him growing up, from birth to him being thirty, so you could understand why he doesn’t trust anyone or why he believes himself to be so cruel. And Emma is a mystery all on her own, you believe she is one thing and then suddenly her whole back story comes out from no where! LOVED it I did! =0)

Excellent story
Wow… I don’t know what to say about this book. So far I will say that Jake was arrogant and truly an alpha male until that bitter end. The action was really good. I thought the character were great. They were also lovable to read about. I love that Emma never gave up on showing Jake that he could actually love her. I have to continue this series because I want to see Drake get his story.
I loved this book and am a big fan of all her work. I highly recommend it to anyone else who likes paranormal romance.
A great paranormal romance
Enjoy her books and this one kept up with the rest.
Awesome book
This is just one of the different series’ that she writes. The stories are so different from each other and yet they fit into their individualy series seamlessly. You can also just read it as a stand alone. This is what I did, I didn’t know that it was part of a series. Now I am hooked! I realized when I started the second book that it was a the different series. The characters from the first book gave more insight into their characters. So you fall in love with the main characters.
Also Christine Feehan is a very prolific writer! HAVE FUN!
I loved this book, but I would expect this because the author is dang good.
*WARNING* contains explicit sexual content and violence
Jake was born a leopard shifter, but his inner animal made sure it stayed hidden. Jake was conceived only to be a shifter, because shifters are power and power is money. When Jake’s parents didn’t see him shift, the abuse started and it started at a very early age.
Emma thought she lost everything when her husband died in the very same accident she lived through. When Emma found out her pregnancy survived the car accident, she found a small spark to continue to live.
This was a heartbreaking story. The cruelty and abuse bestowed on the young child is quite detailed. It’s also terribly sad that said child feels unworthy of love, doesn’t even know what love is. I enjoyed this story a lot. This is emotionally charged. Great characters. Well written. RECOMMENDED
