 what a spoiler November 16, 2008

at a time in my life when all I wanted was a place to hide I bought this book and several others like it. A good book goes on my shelf and is read and re-read for years. Read once, even twice, ok, but sex just doesn't seem to travel well. Frankly, its boring. The basic story idea is good, but it's so wasted in this book, and sadly, because I feel this author could write a good book. What's more its spoiled my enjoyment of other, similar, books with less in your face sex. I'm having a clear-out!Megan's Mark (Berkley Sensation)

I have read a few vampire/were wolf romances and this one is definitely up there with some of the good ones. The characters were hot, but not as hot as some of the sex scenes (certainly NOT for the faint hearted!!). One thing I really enjoyed about this book, was the fact that the 'Breeds' don't change into some hairy, larger than life animal that we're all supposed to love just as much as the man. They possess some of the qualities ie, strength, speed etc, but don't actually transform into an animal. I will be buying the other books asap!

Megan Fields is a woman with the extrodinary power of being able to feel people emotions, however to her this is much more like a curse. That is until she meets Braden,a man around whom she feels calm and protected as well as extremely flustered.
This book was the best winter warmer to snuggle up in bed with on those cold winter nights. If you want a bit of naughty fantasy then Lora Leigh is your best bet she provides the best male lead but also a great female lead who is just as head strong and feisty as the men. Loved every page. Looking for the next one already

Fantastic book. Good story, steamy scenes, good charaters - everything a girl could want in a book. This is the first book i have read from this author and have become addicted to her books - though they are not for the faint-hearted!
Strange, emotional and very very rude. October 7, 2007

Strange:
This paranormal romance is so obviously based on the administrative practises (and malpractises) of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. So why on earth keep using the `Breed' word throughout the novel? This word has surely got to be as highly emotive to Native Americans as the n-word is to African Americans. During the first half of the story there are many things the human heroine says to the hero that could be interpreted as offensive casual racism and very hurtful.
The world building itself isn't particularly robust. I had to read and re-read the first couple of chapters to get any idea of what was going on. I still don't know if The Council is a government organisation or just a bunch of renegade scientists. I didn't like the fact that some of the non-humans (Coyotes) were obviously being harshly `questioned' by the good guys. If they had experienced the same up-bringing as the hero then they deserved better. Give them their freedom far away from whips and pain and they would soon co-operate.
Also the `shields' business didn't make sense. Because of a lack of them, the empathic heroine, Megan has to live away from people so that she isn't overwhelmed by their emotions. Then the hero, Braden gives her his shields to use. How come he has shields if he is not an empath? And suddenly in the canyon towards the end of the book Megan is lowering her own shields in order to find out who murdered Mark and Aimee. So she does have shields after all! All very confusing.
Emotional.
The hero and all his kind are not born but created in labs from a mixture of human and animal DNA. They are treated abominably by the people who created them; tortured mentally and physically for years on end. Yet the hero is not twisted or bitter. (Though he is understandably a little vengeful) He is not afraid to love and is generally highly respectful to the heroine.
He gives one of the best `please love me' speeches I have ever read in a paranormal to the heroine;
"Feel it, Megan. Feel what I know. My soul would die without yours to fill it. Without you to hold me close in the darkness of the night; without your laughter to bring the light into the darkness that has filled every day of my life for as long as I have drawn breath. For the first time in my life I am alive. I live because of you and the thought of going back to the desolation of being alone scares me to death." And it is to the heroine's credit that she does actually hold out for a bit longer."
Also increasingly as the novel progressed, I began to feel the tragedy of the dead couple, Mark and Aimee. That did surprise me.
Rude, rude, rude.
Both the hero and heroine talk and think dirty with a capital D for large parts of the novel. Until eventually they consummate their emotions...repeatedly. The c-word is not used. What is used over and over again is the p-word, the cl-word and the f-word. And the words juices, creamed and suck. All to excellent erotic effects. Even the passage where the hero offers the heroine a contraceptive pill I considered very erotic. I feel obliged to add that the hero really does have something special in his pants.
But none of the good things about this novel can disguise the fact that at the end of the day it is utter sheer bad taste trash.
My mummy would totally whup my butt if I recommended this book.
