Reviews for Leopard's Fury

[NNEAMAKA PAYNE · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I have had great time reading this book it was as usual exciting and fun. If is the second time around listing to this book and I never got all the parts that missed before now. The power is growing fast for the good men who wants to stag in business as mob bosses while cleaning up the ? that kind bring to humanity. Leopard Fury is the 9th book in Christine Feehan’s action-packed, Leopard series. The world of shifters can be brutal and exotic. For the couple in this story, Evangeline Tregre and Alonzo Massi, their childhood lairs were full of violence, brutality, and terror.
Evangeline was abandoned as a baby by her parents, left to fend on her own in the swamps with only her leopard as her companion and protector. She has managed to survive to adulthood, with minimal scraps of food from her cowed, beat-down father. Now, she has fought to survive into adulthood on her own and has made her way from the Bayou swamps to the city of San Antonio, Texas. Finally free from a nightmare childhood, Evangeline has used her meager earnings to buy a small house and open her own bakery. She has left the swamps and lair far behind to become her own woman when Alonzo, the Iceman, starts visiting her bakery.
Alonzi Massi is a man of ice, with few words, and clearly carries an aura of a cold-bloodied killer. However, there is way more to this complex, scary loner than it first appears. His brutal childhood has made him what he is...“I’ve had pain inflicted on me until I rose up and put a stop to it.” On top of an unfortunate beginnings, his leopard is one of the most rare and vicious type of cat, an Amur leopard. As a man if few words, Alonzo is concise when he begins to open up to Evangeline. “He wasn’t flowery…he wasn’t a poet…he was raw and brutal. But she made him want to be more than he was.”
I fell in love with this couple from the very first page. Evangeline is the type of heroine I could relate too and would want to be friends with. She is shy without being timid; when it comes to keeping what she has earned, she is firm without being acerbic. This is a favorite exchange when they are in the first stages of their mating dance.
Leopard Fury is simply an exquisite reading experience. The story seamlessly intertwines action, adventure, and intrigue with romance. True, there are sensual elements to the story, these are two consenting adults completely in love and devoted to each other. Yet there is intricate character and relationship development. Alonzo has been visiting Evangeline’s bakery as a regular customer for over a year without making any move on her. He has been coming to her bakery several times a week for coffee and a pastry because her calm, quiet, and steady presence calms him and calms his nearly uncontrollable leopard. He does not stalk her or try to entice her into bed; he is content for a long time just to be in her presence. It is only when there is a tangible threat to her that he moves to claim her.
The bond with the other leopard women takes time to form but eventually, Evangeline finds a sisterly comradery with Emma, Catalina, and Siena. Also, a new life makes an entrance into this growing community and several favorite characters make a heartwarming appearances. It was wonderful to read how this complex community of shifters fully embrace Evangeline and Alonzo as part of their world.
I loved this book. I received this ARC copy in exchange for an honest review and I've endeavored to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible. No plot twists have been revealed and there are many. I have also pre-ordered Leopard Fury as part of my collection and I can truly recommend this book to current and new fans of this series.
It has been entirely entertaining and very engaging book the actions are getting bigger and expected more mixed experiences from criminal bosses.

The characters have a lot of obstacles to overcome. I enjoyed the criminal aspect to the novel. I like Alonzo’s allies. They have similar values and interests. I appreciated how the characters from the previous books from the series were integrated into this story. I also like how the leopards can sense a lie.
