Tempting the Beast by Lora Leigh
2.0
2 1/2
I am really on the fence with whether I liked this or not. It was OK/good for erotica but the story is meh. The council sends in armed forces to try to subdue these hidden DNA experiments. The reporter comes to try to 'out them' for their own safety. Reporter meets one of the experiments, pheromones force a mating frenzy, they have sex throughout the book. Instalove. I was expecting more of a story since the book is nearly 300 pages but pretty much that is it. I like my erotica to have a little more of a story, a little more substance and background. This I was expecting to be more PNR but it just wasn't. The first 1/3 of the book was slow and scenes seemed out of place. Scenes that just didn't hold my interest. Then once the hormones hit the sex scenes are hot but some rubbed me the wrong way. I may try reading the 4th book, which is Merinus's brother's book, and give it another try. See if there is more substance to the DNA story and reasonings.
