Veena’s review of Leopard’s Rage (Leopard, Book 13) by Christine Feehan
Paranormal Romance published by Berkley 10 Nov 20

Flambé is a beautiful female leopard who runs a successful landscaping business. She has a flair for creating leopard friendly landscaping. Sevastyan is impressed with her work, but, more importantly, both he and his leopard find her attractive. From the moment Flambé shows up on Sevastyan’s property with a group of unfriendly leopards chasing her, Sevastyan is ready to defend and protect, and the story takes off in a red-hot flash which never cools until the end.  This is one book in the series that is a defined “MUST READ,” in my opinion.

While the attraction between the two is red hot, they’re both keeping secrets from each other. Will they be able to work their way to the real people behind their masks to find true happiness? Readers are well aware of Sevastyan’s baggage, both family and the criminal, but Flambé is the surprise behind the beautiful and delicate façade.

Many of the characters and couples from the previous books make their way into this one, and we have a nice chance to catch up on the lives of these characters after the end, though at no point do Flambé and Sevastyan yield the center stage.  In Ms. Feehan’s inimitable way, the sex is again red hot, the character building and relationships are fabulous. Flambe’s secrets are explosive and dangerous. Will Sevastyan win the mate he needs and wants or will he lose Flambé as he tries to bridge all the variables between his world and hers?

A great read. I’m ready for the next one in the series.

Grade: A

Summary:

Leopard shifter Sevastyan Amurov has an anger inside of him that burns so hot it’s almost impossible to control. His barely leashed rage threatens to break free, until he meets a woman who soothes his restless soul.

Sevastyan wants Flambe Carver with every breath. He’s determined that the fiery-haired woman will want to be his completely. But his would-be mate comes with strings attached—a relentless stalker who intends to claim her for his own.

They barely know each other, but with a very real threat looming just out of reach, Sevastyan takes Flambe under his protection. And as their connection grows, the embers of desire sparking between them soon burst into an inferno that will consume them both.
