review 1: Sari is a young man who witnessed a murder. After his police protection detail is murdered he runs from the assassin straight into the arms of alpha panther shifter Max. For the first time in hundreds of years a Chekota breeder has been found. Those who can bare the panther children with special gifts. Only Sari does not know this being “human” and all why would he. Max takes Sari cross country to his home in Yosemite where for the first time in his life Sari feels like he can fit in even if he does name the fish, wears magenta rubber boots while tending the garden and tries to milk the male goat. Max is the head of a corporation which specialises in eco friendly construction as shifter by nature are eco conscious. Between trying to convince Sari to trust him and Sari ... moreadamantly stating men cannot get pregnant a threat arises. The man who Sari was to testify wants him dead and the alpha of another pride wants him for himself. But the threat is deeper than anyone realises to an immortal who has resurfaced to once again try to wipe out the chekota breeders and the shifters. Personally I do enjoy Lynn Hagen's work as a guilty pleasure for fluff reading but in this novel I was very disappointed. The pacing felt way of as in rushed and we are left wondering about connections between various people by the end. Apart from some witty and interesting remarks from Sari there is not much going for it. It appears that the author has joined the ranks of some other authors and decided to do an mpreg series, as if we don't have enough of those already floating about. If you enjoy an mpreg series then this may be for you, for myself it just comes across as a rehash of an already overused formula in other serials. Perhaps this may change and develop as the series progress we shall have to wait and see.
review 2: Lynn Hagen is one of those guilty pleasure reads for me. I know they aren't the greatest writing but I just love them. This book had great potential and I do want to read more, hoping it gets better. The problem with this one was that it was rushed through. I didn't get a feel for the characters or the world. On top of all that the story thread you think is the main thread is barely address and then just ignored. Very disappointing. I am really hoping this changes in future books. I will read the next since Jack was a character that intrigued me, but I really hope the author is putting more plot and better development into the rest of the series. less
