Tempting the Beast by Lora Leigh
4.0
In Tempting the Beast, Marinus Tyler is a reporter out to get Callan Lyon's support in exposing genetic experiments involving crossing human and animal DNA to create soldiers. It turns out they are mates, and because of some weird hormone thing they are in a mating frenzy, which basically means they have to have sex several times a day.
I liked this story, but didn't love it. The sex scenes were so-so. I gave it 4 stars because I think it is a very interesting premise for a book series, and I look forward to seeing where the author takes this idea.
There was one part of the story I found a bit irksome. Marinus is absolutely independent, fiersely opposing this hormonal attraction she has with Callan. There is no emotional connection between them, at least none that was adequately described in the book. Then in the next chapter, she is telling him she loves him and loved him since the first time she saw him in a photograph. I don't buy it. But other than that I found the story enjoyable.
