I can't believe I'm saying this, but I didn't like this Lora Leigh Breed story very much. I had to make myself finish it. It's still a better book than others write, but there was just way too much drama and angst between Cassa and Cabal. It's scene after scene of heated argument, sex, argument, sex, verbal sparring, sex, disagreement, sex. I'm not against the sexual scenes - it's all good with me, but the angst between the hero and heroine was completely overplayed.
If you haven't read the previous books in the series, you can still read this book, but it's not really a stand alone book. The characters in this book have appeared in previous Breed stories.
The storyline in Bengal's Heart doesn't match with what was in Tanner's book. Tanner of course is Cabal's twin. In Tanner's Scheme, we were told that Cabal is very lonely, he had no one to love and yearned for a relationship like the one Tanner had with Scheme, but here in this book we found out that Cabal has known Cassa was his mate for eleven years, but refused to claim her as his mate. Elven years! That flies in the face of what we know about mating heat among the Breeds. This is not like Dawn in Dawn's Awakening who had problems claiming Seth for many years because of all the horrendous abuse she experienced in the Breed Labs. Cabal has no such issues. Instead he refuses to claim Cassa for a very flimsy reason.
There's no love, no trust, no connection between Cabal and Cassa. When he finally admits to his feelings, it comes at the very end of the book, I didn't care. She isn't any better. She's got to be one of the most idiotic investigative reporters on the planet. She's one of those heroines who is always combative and headstrong to the point of being a danger to herself and others.
