This is Callan and Merinus' story, and it was steamy, the genetically created experiment that becae Callan as part man and part lion was an interesting and original idea, the story has a nice interesting plot going into more books in the series, they are kind of interlinked, yet you can read them as a standalone as well. This is the first in the Breeds series and if you want a hot steamy pnr, start reading this.
