So I find when I am ill as I have been for three weeks I tend to read a lot more.

Last night I started a story and this evening have finished it and intend to start the next one.

17) Christmas Heat (The Magical Christmas Cat anthology)- Noble and Haley - Jaguar Breed  - Haley has witnessed a spy in Sanctuary and now her life is in danger.  Now it is up to Noble to keep his mate alive as death and destruction follow her every move.

I enjoyed this novella.  I cannot call it a complete story as it was far too short and choppy in my opinion to be considered a stand alone story.  I loved the "spots" on his pelt...that was hilarious to me.  I liked that he was willing to adapt to her life to keep her as most of the breeds don't seem to be able to adapt well with all their dominance intact.  I would say I would give this one a 6/10 as it could have been smoother in odometer areas and broadened into its own full story.  While I haven't read the other stories in this book yet as I have a nasty itch that if I enjoy a series I can't "interrupt" it with other stories too...but I will surely keep it in my open files to be read.

16) Mercury’s War (available tentatively October 2008) - Mercury and Ria - Lion Breed -   Someone has been slipping the Sanctuary’s secure information to a pharmaceutical company. Now it’s up to Ria Rodriguez to pose as a clerk and uncover the leak. Yet she has no idea of the danger she’s about to encounter—or the passion she’s about to ignite in one of the greatest Breeds ever created.

I found this book AMAZING and hard to put down.  I loved all the twists and turns in this book.  I found the depths of the characters fascinating and found I stayed up well into early morning to read.  This book is by far my favorite in the series so far.  I would give this book a 9/10 rating. Good work!

14) Dawn’s Awakening - Dawn and Seth - Cougar Breed - The runt of the lab she was created in, Dawn Daniels endured years of torture by her pride brother and the council soldiers. Finally freed from her torment, she’s now a Breed Enforcer, in control of her own life. Until she’s assigned to protect the one man destined to be her mate–and realizes it’s far too easy to lose total control.

This is so far my favourite book of this series.  It has many exciting points, tells you a great story and keeps you enthralled.  I couldn't put this book down and simply read the entire day as it was such a great read.  I don't recommend reading these books out of order as the old characters make appearances and it's important for understanding them by reading previous stories first.  This book also bring Cassie's potential mate into the picture and damn if I want to read that one!?!
