Created by mixing of Human/Animal DNA & trained by a secret consul to be an expendable soldier, Aiden, a wolf breed, endures torture and out right slavery at the whim of his creators.

Still, Aiden has been able to control the one area of life he HAS under his power- his sexual urges- to confound the Scientists who want to use him as a lab rat. Until Charity comes along. As far as Aiden knows, Charity works for the scientists, yet he's drawn to her. The Head scientists notice this and use her to draw him out. If he doesn't give a reaction this time he will be exterminated, because more than anything, the consul wants a second generation of Breeds- one they hope is more tractable.

Charity, has loved Aiden from the beginning, and to save him she forces Aiden to betray his own will so that he may live.

The rest of the novel is Aiden and Charity working through that betrayal when they cross paths after the breeds have been resuced. It doesn't take them long to discover they are linked forever- despite what either of them may wish.

Very good addition to the Wolf Breed series created by Lora Leigh. ( )

5 Hearts

Description:
The forces of survival and destruction swirl in the darkest corners of men’s minds. The nature of the beast cannot be harnessed, and survival is the purest of all instincts. Survival of the species itself goes soul deep.

But can the human heart accept and adapt as easily? Can Charity bestow the love and the acceptance that has always been a part of her, to the man whose very survival depended on the hardening of his heart, of his soul? And can Aiden maintain that cruelty now, in the face of the sacrifices she made? Only time and nature can tell…

My View:
Although this book has been out for a while I added it to the book of reviews because Lora Leigh's new novel, Coyote's Mate, lead characters were first introduced in this story. Although each of Leigh's Breed and Wolf series can be read alone, it would be helpful for readers to get a handle on the series first. Aiden's Charity is a quick read and worth the extra time to get to know the other characters in the series.

Besides that this is a wonderful book. The characters are strongly written, the sex scenes are hot and the author sets the scene well. The love story between Aiden and Charity starts six years before when Charity saves his life. The only problem is Aiden isn't all that happy about the way Charity goes about it and swears to exact revenge against the young doctor. When they meet each other again Aiden has to come to terms with what he felt was Charity's betrayal at the same time save her life. The story is a must for anyone who is a fan of Leigh's Breed and Wolf series. ( )

Dedication
Dedication:
For Tony, because you made me who I am.
You gave me freedom, yet held me with
velvet chains of the heart.
You gave me love and taught me
that nothing, not even emotion, is perfect.
You gave me conflict and made
me search for solutions.
You made me strong.
You gave me the strength to
search within myself to find my own peace.
You made me listen to the voices, and in
listening, made me see my inner person.
You gave me the time, and the strength
to reach out for my dream.
And in doing so, you gave me the
gift of acceptance.
