He was raised in a very brutal and dominating environment causing him to always fight his rage and keep his leopard in control. His new landscaper is causing his leopard to want to come out and Mate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Flambre<\/strong> is a rare kind of leopard shifter whose leopard hasn\u2019t fully emergence. She is terrified to release her due to the dangers it may impose. She is already being stalked by a very dangerous and cruel man who won\u2019t let up even after she enlists some help from Sevastyan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Flambre and Sev\u2019s background stories are very interested. She is very guarded and rightfully so. Her late father left her the business and she also plans to help other shifters of her kind get to freedom.\u00a0 Sev comes from an unorganized crime family which I found intriguing as this a paranormal romance with so much action, mystery and now mob ties.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I struggled with the connection between Sev and Flambre. To be honest the instant love thing threw me off. He basically mates her at their first meeting and she moves in. He wants marriage and the whole works. They are basically in love but I don\u2019t know when they got to be in love. Oddly enough, they only communicated when they were having sex. There is tons of dialogue during the whole four play moments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I think I would have loved this more if I had read previous books in the series but I blame that on myself and not the author. Ms. Feehan does a fair job at providing background to the characters but there is a whole world she has built off the other books that I think could have provided better insight because I didn\u2019t see Sev as this dangerous creature as he kept saying. He appears to be gentle and loving at all times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I haven\u2019t read a shifter romance in so long and this was a slow and gentle ease back into the paranormal genre as a whole. I look forward to going back to the beginning and discovering the characters and this world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2H1IeMs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/leopards-rage\/id1498369711?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_leopard%27s_rage&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/leopards-rage-christine-feehan\/1136398980?ean=9780593099858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/leopard-s-rage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Christine_Feehan_Leopard_s_Rage?id=sDfPDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leopard shifter Sevastyan Amurov has an anger inside of him that burns so hot it\u2019s almost impossible to control.

His barely leashed rage threatens to break free, until he meets a woman who soothes his restless soul.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Sevastyan wants Flambe Carver with every breath. He\u2019s determined that the fiery-haired woman will want to be his completely. But his would-be mate comes with strings attached\u2014a relentless stalker who intends to claim her for his own.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>They barely know each other, but with a very real threat looming just out of reach, Sevastyan takes Flambe under his protection. And as their connection grows, the embers of desire sparking between them soon burst into an inferno that will consume them both.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p> <hr \/> <p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Nov 10, 2020<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>A Leopard Novel<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>13<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Scorching<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $7.99<\/p> <hr \/> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><br \/><br \/>Sevastyan<\/strong> is a leopard shifter who is an enforcer for his family and their underground criminal activities. He was raised in a very brutal and dominating environment causing him to always fight his rage and keep his leopard in control. His new landscaper is causing his leopard to want to come out and Mate.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Flambre<\/strong> is a rare kind of leopard shifter whose leopard hasn\u2019t fully emergence. She is terrified to release her due to the dangers it may impose. She is already being stalked by a very dangerous and cruel man who won\u2019t let up even after she enlists some help from Sevastyan.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Flambre and Sev\u2019s background stories are very interested. She is very guarded and rightfully so. Her late father left her the business and she also plans to help other shifters of her kind get to freedom.\u00a0 Sev comes from an unorganized crime family which I found intriguing as this a paranormal romance with so much action, mystery and now mob ties.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I struggled with the connection between Sev and Flambre. To be honest the instant love thing threw me off. He basically mates her at their first meeting and she moves in. He wants marriage and the whole works. They are basically in love but I don\u2019t know when they got to be in love. Oddly enough, they only communicated when they were having sex. There is tons of dialogue during the whole four play moments.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I think I would have loved this more if I had read previous books in the series but I blame that on myself and not the author. Ms. Feehan does a fair job at providing background to the characters but there is a whole world she has built off the other books that I think could have provided better insight because I didn\u2019t see Sev as this dangerous creature as he kept saying. He appears to be gentle and loving at all times.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I haven\u2019t read a shifter romance in so long and this was a slow and gentle ease back into the paranormal genre as a whole. I look forward to going back to the beginning and discovering the characters and this world.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2H1IeMs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/leopards-rage\/id1498369711?itsct=books_toolbox&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_leopard%27s_rage&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/leopards-rage-christine-feehan\/1136398980?ean=9780593099858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/leopard-s-rage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Christine_Feehan_Leopard_s_Rage?id=sDfPDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
