After Elizabeth s wolf, this book left me very disappointed. We knew all the story all ready, so there were not really a point to this book. Maybe introduce new characters.

I like Kane and his attitude and how he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders but mostly his attitude and how everyone calls him an asshole.

I enjoyed Sherra's book, just to see how the "mating heat" affects the female Breeds. Sherra & Kane make a good couple, lots of sexual tension, laughter and tears. Great Read!

I never really warmed up to either of these characters as much as I do with later books. So I give it 3 stars because I like this world and the secondary characters a lot.

Wow serious angst. I don't mind a bit, but it was a bit over the top for me. However, I enjoyed the ending.

For this one at least I still can feel the chemistry and the tension of a growing relationship.

I was not so sure about this one. I got a bored with it about half way through so it took a little bit longer to read it. Enjoyed the ending enough to read the next book in the series.

Kiss of Heat
4 Stars

Synopsis:
After spending a decade believing each other dead, Kane Tyler and Sherra Callahan are finally reunited. Nevertheless, the devastating events of the past have turned them against each other and they must put aside their differences in order to heal the wounds that threaten to tear them asunder.

Review:
Definitely lived up to my expectations. This was the book I was most looking forward to since beginning the series and I was not disappointed.

Kane and Sherra are extremely likeable characters and have an intense chemistry. Moreover, their tragic past contributes to the reader’s emotional involvement in the story. Kane is a supreme alpha even though he is not one of the Breed. I found his constant pissing contests with Taber amusing and his affection for Cassie endearing. Sherra is emotionally scarred and while I understand that she needed time to trust again, I could not fully accept her hostility and her stubborn and continued rejection of Kane once she realized that he never abandoned her. It also took her far too long to realize that she could not protect him from the unknown consequences of their mating. After all, the author emphasizes over and over that nature is all powerful and will always find a way.

Leigh’s writing is smooth and her dialogue engaging. The sex scenes were somewhat overdone and repetitious, and did not really contribute to either characterization or plot but they were definitely fun ;).

My one final nitpick pertains to all the Breed books so far and that is the lack of detail concerning the time the various characters spent at the Council labs. More information about how Kane and Sherra met and came together would have made their emotional and internal struggles even more engrossing.

Overall, an entertaining read and a sweet ending that makes it all worthwhile.
