My Review
(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka “The Book Worm”)
I received this book through NetGalley to Review. I was looking forward to reading it since it was about Jaguar Shifters and in a different setting then usual Authors would put their characters. Unfortunately, when I started reading it, I became less interested and had a hard time reading it. I feel terrible because of it. Maybe it’s because I didn’t read the first book in the series. I don’t like reading out of order. Perhaps it’s my OCD that takes over that makes me not enjoy a book if it’s out of order. Although, I’ve been told this can be read out of order.
Adriano was exiled from his kind, and all he wanted was to buy back his innocence to the Jaguar shifters and be back with his family. He comes across Sophie though who entices him. Sophie is a grad student who just wanted to uncover the secrets. When she comes across Adriano she never thought she could fall in love she thought it was just lust. When she’s thrown into Adriano’s world though, she finds out things that she shouldn’t ever know. Now it’s Adriano’s job to protect her and save her from her curiosity.
I felt like the story could’ve been explained more. It just felt rushed in certain points. I would’ve loved to learn more about the characters and the actual location.
I will give Eleri Stone 4 stars for the sex scenes though. Those steamy scenes kept my attention when the rest of the story didn’t fulfill it.
I do look forward to Eleri Stone’s next book whenever she brings it out. Maybe the first book in the series will capture my heart and the 3rd book capture it as well.
As for this one though the only thing that captured me was the steamy sexy cliff and tent sex scenes and the describing of Adriano. Yum!!! As long as Eleri keeps those kinds of things in her books…she definitely will have me reading her books forever. =)
Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
