“The mythology and the complexity of the plots continues to interest me. The overtly dominance thing is a tad over the top and occasionally annoying/funny, but I do enjoy the overall novel. I really liked how this one ended and I look forward to reading the next novel in this series.”

“I've only read a couple of the Breeds series, but I like the fact that they have a twist to the story and isn't your average romance novels. Great read.”

“Harmony Lancaster, a.k.a. Death, has worked on her assassin career for the past ten years, since her escape from the Breed Labs. She uses every skill she's learned in captivity to rid the world of the people who pray on the innocent, especially children.

But Harmony's hunted. When she escaped, she stole priceless information a lot of people would give anything to possess, including her brother, Jonas Wyatt. When he captures her, instead of enacting the Breed Law for her crimes, he decides to give her another opportunity to redeem herself. He sends her to Broken Butte, N.M. to be Lance Jacobs' deputy. The brilliant twist: Lance is Harmony's mate and Jonas hopes to manipulate the hormonal occurrence enough to make Harmony reveal the sought for information.
Harmony is strong and resilient, always counting on her skills and dark emotions to help her, but she cannot fight the potent attraction between her and Lance. With enemies sprouting out around them, her fight and flight is about to come to an end.
I really liked this book. From the beginning it didn't look like much and I was really afraid it was just like some of the previous not so great book promising a bang but never delivering it. But boy did this one deliver it. And what a bang it was.
We were once again greeted with a strong heroine, but at least Harmony didn't leap into contradictions every two pages. Unlike her predecessors she was pretty much constant and that realization came as a pleasant relief. She was strong, yet she knew her limitations and weaknesses. And despite her past, her reputation, she was capable of so much depth of emotion it was almost scary in its intensity.
Lance was her perfect counterpart. His strength of character and utter confidence drew me from the first time he appeared in Megan's Mark and this book just confirmed what amazing guy this wonderful man really is.
These two were perfect for each other and it was beautiful to read how much Lance was a balm for Harmony's soul, making the ending so much more of a tear-jerker...Yeah, I cried, I admit it.
I loved the intrigue in this book. There were so many unknowns in the plot it really provided a roller coaster, edge-of-the-seat experience. Friends turned to enemies and enemies turned into friends at the drop of a dime, there was always some shady characters walking that fine line between friend and foe, and the mystery wasn't revealed until the very end (and even then not in its entirety), making this an exhilarating read.
With this book Ms. Leigh expanded this fantasy world a little further, providing fodder for the next books in the series, adding new and utterly unexpected depths to the recurring characters, making the reader even more curious.
Kudos for Jonas Wyatt. Ms. Leigh gave us a glimpse of his depth in the previous book, but she truly expanded on his manipulative SOB persona in this one. I think the epilogue wasn't exactly needed, until he finds his mate I don't need to know the guy has a sex life, thank you very much. But at least there's someone else itching to see him mated.
I hope he gets a tough-as-nails chick that will make him squirm. Because after what he did in this book alone, he so deserves to suffer a bit.
I most definitely recommend this one. It was a great read, the mix of all the elements I like in my books was much better, promising loads of exciting reads in the future.”
“Harmony Lancaster is a Lion Breed who escaped from the breeding lab when she was fifteen. Proficient and deadly, her kills have earned her a reputation for being the best there is in the killing market. Code-named Death, she has spent the last ten years wanted by the Genetics Council, Bureau of Breed Affairs and several government agencies. But her crimes are not the only reason why she is hunted. It is the information she stole when she escaped the labs, paramount of which is the information on the existence of the first Leo - the first ever Breed created a century ago. Many have tried to capture Death, but only one man would manage, and only due to their connection. For despite her intense distrust of him, Harmony would never harm her brother or his men. Hence, Death is finally captured.

Jonas needs the information that she possesses. Knowing how cautious she is, the only way he knows to achieve what he wants is by weakening her. He believes that the answer lies somewhere in New Mexico in the form of a small town sheriff. And it appears his hunch is right...
Lora Leigh brings Harmony and Lance together and all hell breaks loose (and clothes come off too!). Their first meeting was thrilling and I enjoyed Lance's shock upon being told that he has mated with a Breed. But Lance senses a woman in dire need of help, a woman who has never known freedom or love. And just as he comes to terms with the powers that he has held at bay for so long, he does his utmost to ensure that Harmony is freed from her past and is given a chance to live a new life.
I admit that I enjoyed this a lot better than Megan's Mark (The Breeds, Book 1), however questions kept nagging at me especially after reaching the last page. Without revealing too much of the plot, I found Leigh's characterization of Harmony rather inconsistent. She has been described as one of the most lethal killers, a class A assassin who hunts Coyote for fun. Yet she was far too malleable when it came to Lance. Her feelings needed fleshing out to make it more believable. Then we are told that some of her senses are as not as powerful as other Breeds', yet Leigh didn't think it important enough to explain why. Infinitesimal this may be in the scale of things, but I felt that this anomaly should have been explained.
Yet despite these quibbles, I actually liked HARMONY'S WAY. There is just something special with the way Lora Leigh has built this alternative world that I just keep getting sucked in each time I pick up a Breed book. She continues to introduce new characters that beg for their own story (please write Jonas and Dane's story soon) or throws in a new mystery such as the first Leo. Because of these, I simply can't stay away! ”
“Even though I rated them the same, Harmony's Way was worse than Megan's Mark as far as the romance is concerned. I did not care about Lance and Harmony at all. I didn't get to know who Lance was and Harmony is supposed to be the best there is that she is nicknamed "Death", but once Lance steps into the picture, she becomes a meek, weak-willed woman who cries all the time. The sex scenes were so numerous and repetitive, that I just skimmed right through them. The only thing that kept my interest was the plot. I enjoy reading the politics of the breeds and what might happen with their future. I really hope the next few books get better or I may have to put this series to bed.

3.5 stars”
“Continues with Lance, whom we met in Megan's Mark. It is interesting to read about the mating heat from a female breed's point of view. I think that each book in this series is a quality sensual paranormal.”
