“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.

“The story of a top secret genetics lab who have found a way to combine animal and human dna into one body. I really liked the back story, the creation of the Pride in this book. It was well written and thought out. It was a little predictable, to figure out who the bad guy was before the end, but not in an annoying way though.

I loved Callan, he is yummy. The inner struggle of the man trying to control the beast around Merinus was well written and fun to read.
The whole "My brothers are going to come and kick your ass" thing did get old after a while. Yeah, sure, it may be true... but in the end I found more annoying the more she threatened him with her brothers. Only complaint on the book, which is really a small one.”
“Absolutely love lora leigh and the breeds. this was the first and in the series.”

So much tension, so much heat- a lot... but its not all dominant hot stuff... The storyline was interesting and all very mysterious and i find myself asking lots of questions which hopefully will be answered in the next books .

“I thought the premise was pretty good, and the book really enticed me from the get-go, but then it seemed redundant. Plus, some of the writing was a bit out there for me in the sex scenes, but that's just my opinion. I don't really find it a bit sexy to see the c word used, and it really just turns me off. Maybe if another word was substituted and I didn't have to read that one every other page then I would have enjoyed it more.”
