Tempting the Beast by Lora Leigh

4.0

This is one of my favorite series and I have read this for the 4th time since I found this series. The author caught me with her imagination. As a biology student, I can understand cloning and splicing which is what it it. Some scientist splice the DNA of a human and animals and make them born.

It makes you ask if you make a clone of somebody, does the clone has rights or is he just an experiment. Its a moral dilemma. Some people think that such abomination should be killed and some think that its fascinating and he has the right to live as he wishes.

The hero Callan has the characteristics of a Lion and human. He escaped the facility where they were kept and tortured. His pride has about 2 women and 3 men. Each of them have different animal characteristics. The heroine Merinus is a journalist sent to talk with Callan so that the world knows about them. At first they have no idea that there are more like them out there.

I love the courting between Callan and Merinus. It is also fun to read the interaction between her and her brother Kane. Then there is a betrayal among the pride which makes it hard for Callan. Towards the end of the book, he goes public about their kind, kills the betrayer and marries Merinus.

After reading this book, the author got me hooked on the series. I loved some of the books and some of them were ok. But overall, it is one of my favorites to read. FYI, it is an erotic novel.
