Tempting the Beast by Lora Leigh

4.0

Merinus is a reporter sent to offer lion breed Callan a deal that will expose him to the media but hopefully set him free from the people continuously hunting him in order to return him to the lab where he was created. Merinus is strangely drawn to Callan and once they meet they soon both discover they are trapped in some kind of mating fever. Merinus tries to fight the hormones raging inside her and escape. She fails and then various people attack them.

The story itself is pretty thin. The plot could be summarised in a few pages, but the hot bits are mighty hot and plentiful. The PRONG! Jeez, the pleasure prong is the stuff of dreams.

My only gripe with this book was some of the language. There’s cream and juice everywhere. I thought the poor girl would dissolve she leaked so much. I also thought she might explode with all the swelling. At one point she herself says her nipples might explode. Nice visual! And don’t get me started on the womb references. 16 of them! It clenches, spasms, weeps... all sorts! I don’t think I have ever felt my womb, even when I gave birth!

And the constant use of ‘penis’ and ‘vagina’ made it all feel a bit like an anatomy lesson.

But the prong!
