Synopsis
Bred by capricious parents for his
innate leopard-shifting ability, billionaire Jake Bannaconni has spent his life
in an emotional vacuum—especially after a tragic twist of fate has left him to
raise his infant son alone. But when his path crosses that of an enigmatic
woman, Jake’s life takes a detour he could never have predicted.
There is something irresistible
about Emma Reynolds—something Jake can’t live without. She’s the first human to
stir something in him he’s never felt before, so he hires her as his son’s
nanny to keep her close. It soon becomes apparent that she may not be all that
she seems, yet what’s raging between them is pure animal instinct—out of
control, burning wild and as hot as the lick of a flame.
my Thoughts (review)
This book has it all, a lost man
who’s never been a boy. A woman who lost everything but a man she never new, or
does she...? Children. Hot body rubbing
against body. Crushing that was never going anywhere and animal natures that
win out no matter how hard you hit them.
It’s a great book, not only in the
two main characters, or the humans around, the drama that is living with him,
but we also meet three other leopard people, one that was injured in a previous
book, so we get to learn a little more about them, which is always good when
the next book comes out—or at least I like the ones that give you more history
about people before their books come into play, but then I’m more about the
people, and reading because of them, then I ever really am about the book.
So this one was nice, longer history
threw it, or history, starting from his birth and working his way through until
the man he is, the weeks it takes him to get what he really wants, and to see
the type of man he really is, rather than what he thinks himself to be.
Anyway, this book wasn’t all that
bad, something chase in the side of child abuse, I thought, even though he held
that hate for himself, I have read a lot worse books. This one at least focused
more about him as a man waking up, than him as he was. But yes, this book is
more about him, Jake, honestly he’s the book, Emma, is just the woman that
opened him up.
