About this title: 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.
Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.
"This is the love story of Callan Lyons and Merinus Tyler. Callan is a genetic experiment conceived in a test tube with other others. They call themselves "Breeds". Merinus is a reporter that wants to do a story on the breeds and goes after Callan to get the story. Merinus finds herself a little obsessed with Callan and that is where the journey begins.
This was a great way to start off the breed series. I thought it was very sexy. I enjoyed the book all the way around."

"This book set up a large cast of characters for a no doubt long series. The sex scenes definitely brought a flush to my cheeks, but for some reason the scientific explainations for the breed creations just didn't do it for me. I think I prefer the magic elements of different species in PNR. Ok book, well written, just not to my taste."

Callon Lyons, the hero, is indeed "uber" Alpha (his genes were spliced with a lion, of course he's alpha,) and I was hooked from the beginning scene.
Merinus, the heroine, is an excellent match for Callon's overbearing ways, and finds ways of asserting her independence with a man who needs to be dominant. But in the end, it's her willingness to compromise that prooves her love for him. Surprisingly, I found the domninant/submissive thing to be the undelying texture to this novel. No, this is not a "bondage" book, but there is a feel of it- not in their sexual practices but on a psychological level- and really, if you're writing a book about a race of beings who have animal-like dna, of course you're going to have to address this issue.
This is an earlier book of Leigh's, so there is some technical issues concerning the craft of writing that shows it's immaturity, but it in no way detracts from the book.
If you are reading her latest Breeds, like Meghan's Mark and Harmony's Way, you really should read this one. Here's where you get the first look at the breeds and a bit more background into the continuing series."

"Merinus is a journalist, just like her father and seven older brothers. She is determined to get the case about Callan, a man who is a genetic experiment, human and animal DNA, in his case a lion. Her father has received some secret documents from Maria, Callan's mother with the question to help her son and his battle against the Council, a group of scientists who created Callan and desperately wants him back. Merinus's father believes exposing Callan in the open would be change against the Council and he is sending Merinus to convince him.
Callan knows exactly why Merinus is asking questions about him in town, but he wants nothing to do with her and stay as far away from her as possible. But then Merinus is attacked by some soldiers from the Council and he cannot help himself and save her. From that moment the attraction between them is huge and when they first kiss, all hell breaks lose. Apparently Callan has called his mating and only Merinus can stop the burning inside him.
Tempting the beast by Lora Leigh is the first novel in the Breed series and I have to say it's hot and very steamy. I never expected it to be so fabulous, definitely worth to read.
The moment Callen kisses Merinus the mating game is on. Callan has no idea what he has done to Merinus, but when the doctor tells him about the kiss and his heat, he is shocked. It appears they cannot be apart from each for a long period or the heat will be overwhelming. Merinus is determined to find a cure and get the hell out of town, because she knows that her brothers would be there before she could blink her eyes. But there is no cure, the only thing left for Callan to do is claim her as his mate and accept his fate.
What nobody knows is that Callan lives with 5 others, all human with animal DNA. Callan is trying his best to keep them a secret from the Council and the rest of the world; he would do anything to protect them, even if that means he has to leave them behind.
Merinus seven over-protective brothers are really bossy and don't believe their little sister can complete this mission. Hell, they even objected when their father approve it, especially the eldest Kane. But they couldn't have imagine she being claimed and lose her to this beast man. But when danger surrounds Merinus, Kane is the first man on the plane to help his sister and her mate.
Reading the book you could really feel the heat Merinus and Callan were fighting, I even could taste the determination to find a cure, but everyone knows when the mating heat has begun there is no way you can fight it. If you don't mind an overdose of hot and steamy scenes and some fabulous human feline breeds, then this is definitely the book for you."
