The Awakening by Christine Feehan
3.0
3.5 stars.
It seems I'm on a Christine Feehan kick this year. This book makes the third series of hers I've read something in. This one is all about leopard shifters. The setting was in the rain forests, which was very well-described. Maggie came there because a lawyer who worked for the hero, Brandt, informed her that she'd inherited the estate of her parents, who'd died when she was a child. Brandt orchestrated her coming there because he knew she was his mate. I thought he was high-handed, but he learned his lesson. I liked him because while he was an alpha male, he also had a gentle and poetic side and knew when to say sorry. I loved Maggie because she helped to save animals and was very compassionate. She could also admit when she was being foolish.
Overall, I found this to be an interesting introduction into a new paranormal world. I love the idea of the leopard people protecting and preserving the rain forest and the animals who lived there. The romance was rushed as it only took place within a few days, but I can overlook it because they're fated mates. I plan to continue with this series at some point, for sure. Can't wait to meet more leopard people!
