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.

My favorite author and a great story line.
This book continues the storyline of the Leopard series. It was action packed. We also read about characters from the previous books in the series. The intimate scenes are more graphic than I am comfortable with so I skimmed some pages. However the characters catch at your heart. I recommend this story for fans of the Leopard series.
LEOPARD’S RUN by Christine Feehan is the eleventh novel in the Leopard People series, but it works as a stand-alone story. As with others in the series, this novel is a paranormal romance with suspense.
The story starts with a bang and does not let up. Timur Amurov is the head of security for his brother Fyodor and the other members of his family. His single purpose is to protect his family no matter what. He has skills honed through a violent upbringing followed by practice and use. When his sister-in-law Evangeline hires Ashe Bronte to work in her bakery without Ashe being screened, Timur’s life is turned upside down. Ashe has secrets and Timur wants to know if she is setting up Fyodor for execution.
This book follows the normal pattern of two very strong characters, lots of action, and plenty of passion and steamy scenes. The plot is good and the characters are compelling and definitely have their own flaws and virtues. Their motivations are believable. However, you have to be able to read about a very dominant alpha male and a strong female lead that complements the alpha male and accepts his strong ways. These books also contain a lot of danger and violence.
Timur Amurov is head of security and the enforcer for his brother Fyodor’s businesses. When a strange woman begins working at Evangeline’s bakery coffee shop he knows he must investigate her to keep Fyodor and Evangeline safe. He is stunned to realize that she is also leopard and his mate. Nevertheless he checks her out and is convinced that she is mostly innocent. Ashe Bronte is looking for revenge against the leopards who killed her parents and is looking for someone strong enough to do that. She thought that Evangeline’s husband was a criminal who could accomplish that for her, but too late realized that he was basically a good man and that Timur was the one for her. By then The evil searching for all of them was close and the struggle to survive begun.
Love all books in this series
Christine Feehan is a literary Goddess! I have read everything she has ever published and can’t wait for her next book! Her storytelling is epic!
One of my favorite authors and I love reading her stories of the Leopard shifters.
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!
