Tempting the Beast by Lora Leigh
2.0
I was not a fan of this book. I liked the idea of the over arching plot that humans had been experimented on and this mixed human animal species came out of it.
They are being hunted down by the group that was experimenting on them but the Tyler family is trying to help bring things out into public light to protect this new species of human/animal hybrid.
At least that’s what I think the overall plot is supposed to be. But what the story is ultimately about is sex. Sooo much sex. Now don’t get me wrong I love a good erotic novel or smut book. I love romance novels and everything in between but when I pick up erotic I expect to read about sex. When I pick up smut it could be anywhere from heavy sex to light plot to heavy plot to slow burn. Romance I expect to be a fair bit of plot with a romantic element, the sex might be graphic or fade to black and there might not be as many scenes.
This book comes off as more erotic than anything else and I think it should more accurately reflect that in its synopsis and labeling.
If I was expecting smut I might have rated this higher but it also had the whole virginal heroine trope which is so overplayed at this point.
