Worst of the series so far., Dec 7 2011

Lawe's Justice. Breeds #26If you're a series addict like me, then nothing anyone says is going to dissuade you from buying this. But allow me to say in advance ...I told you so!... There were only 2 posted customer reviews when i bought this and they both give it 1 star and a very bad write up. I should have listened.
This latest instalment in the Breeds series is quite possibly the worst one in the series to date.
The plot line was there, it even had potential. It just never went anywhere. None of the action/adventure plot lines finished and Lawe & Diane's romance lacked the fire of many of the other titles. They just talked it to death.
We had; Lawe and Diane discovered they were mates more than a year earlier, but Lawe just wandered off to la-la land somewhere and didn't persue it. It wasn't until Rule (his twin brother) decided if Lawe didn't want a warrior for a mate, then he'd claim her, cause his mate is all girly and he doesn't want her. ...and whats with that? We've been told for the last 25 books that Mates are the best thing in the universe, and here we have 2 characters who don't want their mates?
We had a breed gone feral whose killing council scientists by vivisection,(autopsied alive) (which, incidentally is a word which does not fit well into a story when used more than once or twice). Because he was killed that way, I think it was 3 times?
He's trying to find a girl whose blood saved his life when he was a younger. He wanted to die, she foiled him because she wanted him to live. Good a reason as any to want to kill someone, I spoze. I wouldn't be too surprised if when this finally plays out we will discover they are mates.
Even though he's feral and killing all these people, he still saves Mates whenever he needs to. The "tortured bad guy" thing usually sucks me right in, but it wasn't well written in this book and really didn't grab my heart strings.
This same girl holds the key to Jonas & Rachel's baby girl's life after the injection Brandenmore gave her in Lion's Heat. But that story line didn't end, even though it was the main action/adventure story line.
There were several other plot lines to give it action/adventure, but nothing ever went anywhere, they didn't end, they all just fizzled out.
When I finally got to the end, on literally the last page, after all the air went out of the story and it withered up and fell to the floor(& I breathed a sigh of relief that I'd finished it). Jonas detects a scent, and grins! And we'll have to wait until LL persues it in some future book. How much do you want to bet, it's not the next one!
All in all, unfinished. She could have cut out most of the repetitive sex scenes and used the space to tie up all the other plot lines.

GUESS THIS IS GOODBYE TO A ONCE LOVED SERIES!, Dec 14 2011
By Rare Reviewer - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN SO RIGHT BUT WENT SO WRONG!Plot lines either simply died or continued in an endless loop getting nowhere and not having any type of resolution.
The story read like more of a set up for a novel about Amber and the unknown Feral breed instead of about Lawe and Diane.
There was just TOO MANY "HUH" moments. At several points in the book, either the stated dialogues or action scenes described made no sense and/or were confusing. I've read Federal Tax Laws that were clearer!
The internal dialogue of the main female protagonist, Diane, was repetitive and didn't really add anything to the plot lines. It read more like "filler" to increase the word count.
Most of the book was a rehash of what any reader of the series already knows. Maybe if this was a 1st in the series, yeh, it would be necessary. If this was meant to be a stand alone novel instead of one in a series - then again, yes I could see the necessity. But even then, the novel still needs a strong plot line and developed characters and actions which this did not have.
If you take out the repetitive parts of the novel, the rehash of data from all the previous novels and the repetitive dialogues/descriptions, you would end up with an extremely short undeveloped story.
What is really sad is that Lori Leigh is capable of putting out an outstanding novel but her latest creations fall so short of the potential. What is even sadder is the "high praises and ratings" when you would think that a good editor or "beta" reader would have after reviewing this book said, "Look Lori, this needs to be reworked, tighten up your plot, strength your story line, get rid of the repetitive parts, get back to the basics." Instead an inferior piece of work is rushed to publication. I don't know if the author has spread herself too thin, taken on too much that she no longer has time or energy to really apply herself to her writing, or what. All I know is that if you look back at previous ratings of her latest books - most of the reviews have tried to give her the same advice - Lori, you NEED TO GET ANOTHER EDITOR! Someone that will actually give you the down and dirty. Someone that will help you put out a GREAT novel instead of a poorly developed one.
I made the mistake of doing a pre-order on this novel because I really had high hopes that Lori Leigh would get over her obvious writer's slump with the breed stories and put out a novel worthy of the series. Unfortunately this one has convinced me that it's now time to say good-bye because I have no faith that it's going to happen. I wish the author well, but I'm not wasting any more of my money or time on poorly written stories that lack development of plot lines, characters and actions. And if I needed to refresh my memory about the Breeds, I do not need to spend my money on a rehash - I could just reread some of the previous better written novels in the series.

Time to stop beating the dead horse....., Dec 7 2011
By Faintly Macabre - Published on Amazon.com
I am a long time fan of Lora Leigh. I've read every breed book, even the more recent and less impressive offerings from Ms. Leigh. After the Navarro's Promise SNAFU (missing chapter at critical point towards the end of the book) and the delay in publication, I really expected more from Lawe's Justice. Unfortunately, this book fell disappointingly short.This book is a cookie cutter reproduction of any of the more recent breed novels. You can basically replace Lawe and Diane with any of the previous breed/mate names and you have the same story. Breed finds mate. Breed resists mate. Mate resists breed. Mating heat is irresistible and brings breed and mate together. Pepper in sex scenes and you have the book. Any real plot is confusing if it exists at all. Is Diane trying to find information to save Amber? How did that effort get lost in trying to avoid Lawe? What a cop out ending.
I have always been curious about Cassie's character and how she will arrive at her "happily ever after" but I don't think I can suffer through however many more of the seemingly "printed just to make a buck" books that it will take to get there.
Ms. Leigh really needs to re-evaluate and raise her game.
Listmania!
