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. But Timur has ignited something deep within her, and even though she knows she should keep her distance, every move he makes has her craving a taste…

Ms. Feehan is one of the best authors I’ve ever had the privilege of reading. Her series are “to die for”!!!
Always love reading Christine Feehan! She has fabulous character development and wonderful stories. I love her creativity and romantic relationships. Her books are so entertaining! When I see she ithe author it’s a “must read” for me!
You can not go wrong with any book she writes
I didn’t enjoy it as much as her previous novels
I loved this book so much that I’ve read it about3 times
Love all her books
Great series! Realistic portrayal of shifters, characters are believable and likable. Page turner, I read it in one day!
Another addition to a great series.
Christine Fernandez is the Queen
I enjoyed it very much. I found I couldn’t put the book down. I purchased it from a book store! The people in the book were very real and the emotions were very believable. I want to get the next book in the series, but so far it is too expensive. I live on Social Security & with no raises the last few years I have very little money extra for books. Anyway keep up the books Christine!
Love to read them all.
Blanche Keller
Love her stories & usually her characters but sometimes a little too intense & I end “skimming “ over parts!
I love all of Christine Feehan’s books. Th is was a very good book to read just for steamy entertainment.
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I received a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I don’t own this one yet, but I own most of the series in paperback. I always get her books in paperback!
The cover looks fierce!
This is the 10th book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the violence and steamy scenes involving mates! You do not have to read them in order, but I suspect you may know some of the characters much better if you did.
This is Timur and Ashe’s story! They are both being hunted and trust no one. Evangeline is special to both of them, and they want to keep her safe. They both have a very bumped road to their happiness including several attempts on everyone’s lives. Treachery is afoot, and they aren’t sure where it is coming from. Timur and his leopard are fierce in their protection of those they considers theirs, but Ashe has been trained and can take care of herself. They both have a lot of baggage to get through in their journey to happiness. I love all the twists and turns where you weren’t sure what would happen next!
I highly recommend to any feline shifter fans who love complex stories with fights, danger, treachery, mystery, and mates….so much to love!
I really enjoy the Leopards series but this one had to much sex.I kept having to jump ahead to keep up with the story line
Love this series…Fabulous author
THE book is great. I have read all of her books and enjoyed all of them
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.
