Early Review: Cross Breed by Lora Leigh

Fans of #1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh's scorching Breed series first met Cassie as a little girl in Elizabeth's Wolf. Now Cassie has finally come into her own as a young woman, and she's about to discover the one she is destined for--but it is unclear whether her fate is to be mated for life, or marked for death...

The Breeds are humans altered before conception with the DNA of the predators of the earth. But although they all carry the genetic material of beasts within them, Cassandra Sinclair stands apart. A unique mix of wolf, coyote and human, she is revered by many--but preyed upon by others. She is fiercely protected by her community...but no one manages to stop her when she slips away one day to offer her body in exchange for her sister's safety.

The man she succumbs to surprises her by unleashing her inner animal in ways she never dreamed possible--and provokes her deep, furious rage. To Cassie's shock, he is the mate she has long awaited. She may never be able to forgive his deception. Still, as dangerous enemies track her, and as the threat of all-out war between Breeds and the humans who despise them hovers in the air, they must join forces and hold fast to each other.

But the passionate union between them holds a potential that could change the world--and some will do anything to stop it...

5 STARS

Cross Breed is the evolutionary climax to Leigh’s unique Breeds. Leigh transports readers with genius creativity. Readers become active participants in her stories, with a cocooning intimacy. This has been the story I’ve been waiting years for. Since reading Elizabeth’s Wolf, readers were enthralled by Cassie. Her story has taunted us. We have been able to catch glimpses of her throughout the entire Breed saga. The tipping point was when we learned her mate had more than likely found her in previous books. The need to know more was excruciating. Her chosen mate is the perfect pairing. Dark and elusive Cross Breed is full of surprises and answers. Cross Breeds was a bucket list read. Leigh’s singular writing style reels me in every time. I can not wait until the next story from Leigh.
