I absolutely LOVED this book!!! Rachel is kick ass and Jonas becomes such a cuddly cat, i love it!! they have great chemistry, besides in their blazing bedroom. Amber is so adorable. I think this was exactly what Jonas is about. and we finally find out about his lineage and actual Breed DNA, i was awed by it all. I didn't feel it laggin @ all, i too read it super late(3am) the day i started it. Jonas has always been the hardass and here he just melts. so so good!! Keeper status!! altho i keep all the breeds books. Seriously worth the wait. and hope a bagillion more still to come...

Excellent as always. Lora Leigh always gives a touching, graphic, explicit, well rounded story. You can always relate to her characters and their lives. The bad guys are just as complicated. As in real life, very few are truly all bad or all good. You really sympathize with the suffering of the characters. The intimate scenes are well written and erotic with out being sleazy. She stays true to the series. Always one of my favorite authors.

Fantastic book! Jonas seems so hard and you can see how Rachel un-hardens his heart. This book has lots of steam and spice in it, but it did drag a bit. I kept waiting and waiting...and something finally did happen. :) Overall....HOT, STEAMY...I want a Breed of my own! ;o)

I liked Lion's Heat. Enjoy reading any and all books by Lora Leigh.

There is danger, romance, action, and a fast paced plot that thickens at every turn. Jonas is arrogant and Rachel is bad ass. You get insight into Jonas like never before. This is a book that will be hard to put down and an excellant read.

I have mixed feelings about this book. I was so looking forward to the story of Jonas Wyatt, the engimatic director the Bureau of Breed Affairs. I really wanted him to have a mate that was his equal. This doesn't happen. I'm hoping the woman in this book is a false mate like Mercury and his mate in the labs.

In the previous Breed books, we've seen that Jonas Wyatt is an extremely intelligent, manipulative, power player who has a single focus. He wants to make sure his people, the genetically engineered animal/humans, survive and thrive in the world. He's one big bad alpha Breed who invokes fear in even the toughest of opponents. He deserved a mate who was equally tough and smart. I didn't feel he got a mate that was his equal. He needed someone similar to Ria who is Mercury's mate. Someone who wasn't weak or timid or hysterical. Even Dr. Ely would have been a better match for Jonas. Who does he get? Rachel, his secretary, who for nearly two thirds of the book won't even let him kiss her. Seriously, if an alpha male Breed were to ever come into my life and say I was his lifemate, I wouldn't hesitate to kiss him! Especially not if the Breed is Jonas Wyatt, the handsomest, biggest baddest Primal Lion Breed in the series. Who would turn down Jonas except a heroine who is too stupid to live?

There are so many scene continuity errors in this book that I wonder if the editor was asleep. It's also never explained how Rachel can control her emotions as well as a Breed. Is she a recessed Breed? If not, what is she? How does she have that control and who taught her that? She's able to fool Jonas a few times and you know that's not easy to do!

The character development was flat. I felt there needed to much more information on Rachel. We never get a good sense of her past, her family other than her sister, or what she's really like. She pops out of nowhere as a super efficient secretary/financial expert. If you didn't know Jonas from the previous books, you really wouldn't get a good sense of him in this book, but again most of us have read the previous 20 books so I'll give Leigh a pass on Jonas. Still, she should have done a better job with developing Rachel's character. Rachel came off as whiny, stupid, prudish, and inconsiderate.

I expected more gloating, teasing from the Breed Enforcers now that Jonas is under the Mating Heat. There's really nothing like that. No humor at all. Given how often Jonas manipulated the others into finding their mates, it's shocking that more isn't made of his past.

The actual sexual scenes between the two are pretty tame compared to say what's in Tanner's Scheme or Megan's Mark. Given how dominant he is in all other aspects of his life, it was a disappointment that he was so mushy and so not an alpha male. I expected to see more of his um..expertise in that aspect. I expected there to be something similar to the sink scene between Vishous and Jane in JR Ward's Lover Unbound book.

I give this book 2.5 stars.
