Lora Leigh has created a captivating world within our own. Merinus Taylor is a reporter in search of an unbelievable story. It is a story of genetically enhanced warriors who have escaped from their creators. What she discovers is even more wild than her wildest imagination. She concentrates her focus on Callan Lyons, a man she is sexually drawn to like no other man she has every met. This world of breeds has many twists and turns and leaves the reader wanting to know more. The breeds love as deeply as they hate and the sexual eroticism of this book is not to be missed. A wonderful book to begin the breed feline series.

This is the first of many feline breed stories written by Lora Leigh, which details how Callan's group of felines have fled captivity to make a life for themselves. The heroine Merenius is a woman who is determined to get a story and assist in the feline cause.

This is a highly charged, highly erotic and highly sexual story. Not only did I like the sex scenes, I enjoyed the creative plot, the characters that I know I will be seeing later and will hopefully have their own story, and I also loved Callan and Merenius. I especially liked the fact that the heroine was not weak-kneed, but was strong and thought for herself. She didn't let anyone push her around (Yay, girl power!). I can't wait for the next feline story. This is a must read that CAN NOT be missed!

Callan Lyons is a genetic experiment. One of six fighting for freedom and the survival of their Pride. Merinus Tyler is the reporter who will tempt him, draw him, until the fury of the "mating frenzy" locks them into a battle of sexual heat there is no escape from.

Deception, blood, and the evil Genetics Council are hot on their trail. Callan will use his strength to try and save them both...and do all in his power to keep his woman in the process.

This is the 1st book of Lora's feline series. It introduces you to the breeds. Here you meet Callon, who is a genetically engineered experiment of the evil Genetic Council. He and others like him are fighting for their freedom. Merinus is a reporter seeking out Callon to offer him protection. The sexual tension in this one is high. I couldn't put this book down until I was finished with it.

This book has it all. Humor, danger and adventure, and of course romance. I'm hooked on the breeds forever. I can't wait to read what Lora has in store for all the other breeds!!

If you haven't read this one yet, I suggest that you run don't walk and get this book!! You'd be hooked too!

This book was recommend to me by a friend.. Wow!! I was very surprised to the say the least.

This is the story of Callan and Merinus. You are introduced to Callan who has been altered by scientist for thier evil purposes. But thier humanity still remains intact. This is a fight for survial for the Breeds. Merinus is a reporter seeking the truth or is it myth about these Breeds.

Great sexual tension with Callan and Merinus. This is not your average romance this is erotica. I am now hooked on the breeds. I can not wait to find out what happens to the other Breeds..
Great Job Ms. Leigh you now have another fan to add to your list.

Callan is a genetic experiment who escapes from his ruthless creators. Fighting not just for his freedom, but for his survival. Merinus is a reporter on the trail of an unbelievable story, but more than the story she seeks the man who's image she cannot forget.

What she finds is something no one could have predicted. Something the scientists failed to anticipate. For Callan is more than a man, more than an animal. He possess the keen intellect of man combined with the savage instincts of his animal DNA. And he will do whatever is necessary to both claim his mate and ensure her survival.

Tempting the Beast is my favorite of Lora Leigh's works... to date. It is an intensely sensuous and emotionally charged story. Callen and Merinus' passion sizzles across the pages in this riveting work. Their action-packed story of love and betrayal kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning.

Coming to terms with love and the vulnerability it brings is difficult for Callan and Merinus. Not only must these two independent, strong-willed people overcome the normal emotional obstacles all lovers face, but they must avoid capture while contending with the sexual pressures and surprises that result from man's meddling with Mother Nature. After reading Tempting the Beast, I have a whole new appreciation for the phrase "sexual tension".

This is one book you will definitely want to read again and again.

I'm not what you'd call a huge fan of paranormal stories - I don't go out of my way for vampires, shapeshifters, Carpathians or immortals - but every once in a while I indulge (mainly MaryJanice Davidson's wacky, sexy vamps and werewolves). If I gotta read this sort of story I prefer it to have some relationship to a possible reality. I always liked the show DARK ANGEL before it got canceled about genetically engineered soldiers created in secret labs in the not so distant future. Well Lora Leigh's "Breed" series are very much in that vein (but much more erotic!!). In Ms. Leigh's stories, a shadowy, ruthless, degenerate group called "The Council" operates secret labs where they do genetic experiments with the mission of creating ruthless and disposable soldiers. Their creations are part human and part animal due to the animal DNA used to create them for specific purposes. There are two "Breed" series (so far): one with feline DNA and one with wolf DNA. TEMPTING THE BEAST is the first book in the Feline Breeds series and it's a great read. BTW, her Wolf Breed stories are all ebooks (no pb releases so far) and are not available at Amazon (...)and so far I've read short story WOLF'S HOPE (the first in the series) and her most recent, ELIZABETH'S WOLF (which was awesome!).

Reporter Merinus Tyler wants to expose the Council for the disgrace they are, feeling that if the American public knew what they were doing, they would be outraged and take the "Breeds" to their hearts. Callan Lyons, one of the few breeds ever to escape the Council is not so sure. He's survived by his cunning and animal instincts and the last thing he wants is a reporter snooping around and exposing him (and his pride) to danger. But he is unusually attracted to the spunky Merinus and though he tries to stay away from her, he eventually gives in to his attraction and kisses her. That kiss starts a "mating frenzy" that neither can fight and Callan must face the fact that Merinus is his mate. But how is he to keep her (and his pride) safe from the assassins that the Council regularly sends to kill him? If Merinus should fall into their hands (especially if she were pregnant), she would become no more than another experiment to them, her life no longer worth living. How can he keep them all safe? Is Merinus right - is the best thing to come into the glare of the public spotlight and try to live as close to a normal life as possible? Merinus's father, seven brothers and senator uncle are all willing to help, so has the time arrived to "hide in plain sight"? Will they ever really be safe from the Council?

Lora Leigh writes several different types of erotica, some of which I'm not particularly interested in (3-ways, bondage, etc), but I do enjoy these Breed Series stories. The males are uber alpha with their animal instincts, heightened senses and hot looks. Her heroines have to be strong with lots of backbone to keep from being totally dominated by these males. And the sex is hot with the animal DNA adding some really interesting aspects into the mix! Definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those who enjoy this type of story highly recommended!

Second in the Feline Breeds series is THE MAN WITHIN about fellow breed Tabor and forthcoming will be KISS OF HEAT about Merinus' brother Kane and Callan's breed "sister" Sherra (there's a history between these two and a sexual tension you can't ignore - can't wait for that one!). And I can't say enough about how great ELIZABETH'S WOLF was (since I can't review it here!) but check it out!!

Tempting the Beast is full of heat, emotion and intensity. The first in Lora Leighs Feline series, this book introduces us to the breeds, who have a mixture of human and feline DNA. Merinus Tyler is a determined reporter, and she wants information on Callan Lyons, a very secretive feline breed. Little does she know that getting involved with Callan will bring changes and dangers that she never anticipated.

Lora Leigh writes an intriguing and HOT book full of emotion. These characters are wonderfully written, and you won't be able to put this one down as you watch Callan and Merinus find their way through danger while running from the Genetic Council.

If you love Romantica and Romance, this is your book! Don't miss it!

Tempting the Beast is the 1st Feline Breed Book in the series.
I personally recommended this book highly, once you've read this book, you will have to pick up the next in the series. Tempting the beast is highly erotic, and will leave you on the edge of your seat with suspense.

What happens when The Coucil decide to cross human and animal DNA? Read this first book in the Feline Breeds series and you'll get an idea of what Ms. Leigh's characters must go through to find not only a bit of peace, but true love.
Callan Lyons an experiment against nature and Merinus Tyler a reporter bent on a story will keep any reader involved.
Hot bedroom scenes and the characters will to survive make this an exceleent book for fans of fantasy-type erotic romance.
