About this book
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 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.

One of the best books )

For some reason, I consider this book my favorite so far out of the leopard series. We’ll see if it stays that way when I read Leopard’s Fury. He’s an emotionally broken, abused guy who believes everyone is in a position to betray him but slowly learns to love over two years of living with those who don’t run in his social circle. Emma, Drake, Joshua, Ethan, etc. It’s basically just a book of healing and finding that gentle, caring side that he thought was beat out of him as a child and I guess...

Did I enjoy this book - yes. Would I recommend - yes. That said, I thought for an ebook it was a bit pricey as it would only cost about $1 more and you could buy the paperback and there was an issue (for me) with the way it went from one person's pov to the next which caught me off guard at times as it happened so quickly -- e.g. one minute reading from H's pov, the next h's pov. But it is what it is. I really enjoyed the plot and the way the hero had to learn what love is and to accept love....

This is my favorite Feehan book so far. Very unique story. Jake is a character who has overcome a lot in life and I always like that. He is somewhat flawed but he is also searching. He finds what he wants but he relies on manipulation to get it. He's insecure because of a horrible childhood and even after all he has accomplished, he has no idea how to make Emma love him and stay with him just because of love. He keeps thinking there must be something else and he does his best to tie her to him...

I was afraid to read this book after reading some of the reviews. However, I took the plunge and I'm glad I did. Yes, if was brutal and uncomfortable at times. Jake was an a$$. At first. But if you stick with it you will get it. You will understand why the character had to be written that way. The character of Emma wouldn't have worked otherwise. Both the characters ended up being interesting, intense, and exciting. If Jake was a real person as opposed to a fictional character, would I like him...
