Hmmm... what can I say about this book? It's probably the best plotted of all the Breeds books I've read so far (although, to a certain extent, that's kind of damning it with faint praise), and probably a little better written than the other three I've read before.

Like all the other Breeds books, it falls into the genre I'd call 'supernatural chick-pr0n' (although I believe the technical term is 'paranormal romance' or possibly 'paranormal erotica', depending on your point of view). The best description I've heard of the series as a whole is Dark Angel if it were R-18 rated.

This book should, however, carry a giant honking warning that if issues of consent are a trigger for you, stay well away from the story - it never actually devolves into non-con, but it does skirt the lines pretty damn closely at times. Repeatedly. The male lead also spends the first third of the story bordering on stalking behaviour, which made it a little difficult for me to cast him as a protagonist in my mind's eye during that section.

That being said, there is something of a plot, and there are some good scenes that I really enjoyed. I got a real kick, for example, out of the scenes in which our male lead, Dash (the eponymous Wolf) is taking Elizabeth, the female lead, through a series of personal training and combat training lessons. Yeah, yeah, I know, it probably won't be such a hook for anyone but me; but hey, I did enjoy it, and I'm writing the review.

And despite not being a particularly kid-friendly or gods-help-me, *maternal* individual, I actually liked the kid in the book, Cassie - Elizabeth's daughter (and I liked the fact that *finally* we had a female lead in a Lora Leigh book who *didn't* start off as a virgin!). To be honest, Cassie was, at times, easier for me to identify with than Elizabeth was - odd, but there you have it.

So yeah. All in all, I think I'd give this one a 5/10... not awful, but not up there with my favourite supernatural chick-pr0n authors either. ( )

Elizabeth's Wolf - Lora Leigh
Breeds, Book 3; Paranormal Romance; reread; 8/10
I started rereading Leigh's Breed books because I was planning to go on with the series, but wanted to reread these earlier ones first. So far, this remains my favourite of the ones I've read and I enjoyed visiting with Dash, Elizabeth and Cassie again. I'm still deciding if I'm going to keep rereading or jump to the volume I'm up to in the series. ( )

This is a reread, so I thought it was a keeper. But it didn't reread so well. I guess the first time around I was impressed with Dash's back story and his personality, but this time 'round there were so many plot holes and it just didn't grab me. Elizabeth's personality didn't make much sense and what I could see of her, frankly, I didn't like. I found her irritating.
I found their relationship a bit ridiculous and those descriptions of him knotting her (he's part wolf) well, not so erotic, either in thought or deed.
So this is going to the paperbackswap pile because I don't need to visit these characters again. ( )

Dash Sinclair is drawn to a letter that saves him. He is determined to find the little girl who calls to him and asks his aid.
After six months of searching, he finds the little girl, Cassie. He did not expect to find her mother as his compatible mate. Now, he uses all his military connections and friends to protect Elizabeth and Cassie.
Compared to her other books on breeds, Dash's book has more depth. His character has a better background. I like the story too. ( )

Its good but i find that there is something missing in this book. Im not that sure but for some reason, the feeling is not there. The plot was alright but i find myself drifting away... ( )
