This is one of my favorite books!
I have read this book many times and will be reading it many more times in the future. The entire series rates up there with Anne McCaffrey’s dragon riders of Pern. You can start with any book in the series and feel like you know exactly where you are at within the world of the breeds. Mercury and Ria both pull at my heart strings. They have been hurt terribly in the past and keep a tight rein on their feelings and actions to protect themselves. Outside forces may be working against them, but when they come together the HEA is epic.
Brooding Enforcer, Sleeping Lion
Mercury’s Mate died when he was still in the Labs. He is one of the strongest breeds ever created and was certain that a 15 year old girl in his lab was his mate. He was attracted to her and was. Tasting the hormone in his mouth at the time that she died on a mission. After which, he went feral and killed a bunch of scientists and trainers in the Lab before he was subdued. They were able to put him on a drug therapy which basically suppressed his inner Lion and his fierce control has kept the beast chained deep down inside him ever since, despite being weaned off the drugs.
Ria Rodriguez arrives at Sanctuary at the request of Dane Vanderale, she works for the Leo as a paper pusher as far as the people of Sanctuary know. She is actually there to see if she can look into outgoing transmissions and decipher any codes. Code-breaking is one of he skill sets and she is looking to uncover a spy within Sanctuary who is selling secrets of mating heat and extended lifespans to pharmaceutical companies.
Mercury is her bodyguard and he is attracted to her from the start though he knows she will never be his mate, he still wants her. Ria is attracted to Mercury but doesn’t want a one night stand or to get hurt. This is another great story with lots of unexpected twists and turns and of course hot romance between the two main characters. I just can’t get enough.
If you enjoy reading this genre of books then this series is a must! I have read all of the breed books several times and will always buy them from this author.
Absolutely LOVE this book!
This series is always a fun, sexy read! Plus I was looking forward to Mercury’s book. He’s been an intriguing character in the background for long enough. I was not disappointed. Great, entertaining sexy romance.
Loved the whole series, couldn’t wait for the next one.
So this was the first breed book I had read (years ago) and I fell in love. I highly recommend any of the series to read. I have re-read this book several times, and will continue to do so, along with all the others 🙂
I have read this book at least 6 times. For me this is the best book in the breed series.
** spoiler alert ** This installment of Breeds was SOOO good! I was so emotionally involved with both Mercury and Ria. I felt their pain and confusion and frustrations as if they were my own! The introduction to Alaiya was such a shock to my system I had to put my Nook down for a few minutes to recover. I was so nervous that Ely had something to do with the bad things going down at sanctuary and felt as betrayed as I would have been if it was my own friend betraying me. I was sucked into their world and held captive there until the very last page.
