Hmmm, what can I say. The premise of this book was good: an honorable man with a tortured past meets a feisty, innocent, and independant young woman who needs protecting. I've enjoyed most of LL's Breed books but this one went a bit further than I was really comfortable with. I'm just not into pleasure/pain and spanking - that brought in a bit of an "ick" factor for me. Not to mention, the whole "ultimate submission/dominance" act that seems to appear at least once in almost every Breed book. I've gotten more accustomed to it, but if this isn't your cuppa be aware that there's a bit more of that sort of "play" in this short book than in previous ones. What I really enjoyed (beyond the normal HEA) was seeing Dash and Cassie again (from Elizabeth's Wolf - such an excellent book). Cassie (Elizabeth's daughter - who sees "fairies") has an especially nice part that comes in at a pivotal moment to help the hero. I may be a bit of a prude about the pleasure/pain stuff, but diehard LL fans out there will definitely want to read this book!

Sigh, what can I say - a favorite 'keeper'... Some books are just more re-readable than others.
#1 in the Breeds Coyote series and #5 in the overall Breeds chronology last I checked.

I liked this story. My only complaint is that it's much too short. The plot is a bit thin. It could have used about another 100 pages or so. The hero and heroine weren't annoying, but they needed to be developed more. She was strong, and vulnerable when she needed to be. He is quite an alpha male, but it's so easy to see he is also quite gentle and loving. The passion and chemistry between the hero and heroine are intense. It's beyond anything in the previous Breeds books. The sexual scenes are off the charts, and because this book was published by Ellora's Cave, the scenes are even a notch above the usual Lora Leigh love scenes. This isn't vanilla sex. If you can't handle erotica, you'll need to skim those sections.
The cover on this book is one of the best covers of the Breeds books. Although this book can stand alone, you're going to enjoy it much more if you've read the previous Breeds stories.

The more I read the better they get. Kiowa, a coyote breed was raised with no love from his grandfather and never knew his mother growing up. After his grandfather was killed he left the cabin he was a prisoner to and went out into the world and live as he could. He was hired by Dash to watch over the president's daughter to keep her safe until the vote for Breed Law was passed but Kiowa was hoping to a easy job as a babysitter. But the hole time he was watching her he was feeling his hormones becoming to much and have no idea what was happening. Amanda was passing out treats for the kids ( it was Halloween) and the night was going great until there was a breach in her security and her kidnappers were there. Kiowa her her scream and came to her rescuer and took her to a motel. He easy job became a heated arousal based hell for them both. Amanda becomes the first coyote mate to endure the testings at the Feline Compound but she is determine to undergo all the testes to find out when they need to know about the frenzy and hormones and what not and she is what helps them find a special hormone they never saw before.
I love this series and Soul Deep is my favorite. I'm not sure why its my favorite. I guess I just enjoyed it more.
excellent as always
