Romance Paranormal
Patricia "Patch" is a cougar-shifter orphaned at ten and
it
was only the Lone Pine Pride alpha's daughter Lila Fallon
that had her taken into the pride and their home. But she
has never really been a part of the pride or the family;
she is a lone-shifter who knows the safety this Pride has
given her. Now with so much happening, all she wants to do
is get away, but everything transpires against her. She
may
yet find herself TAMING THE LION whether she wants to or
not.
Roman Jaeger is the hand picked successor to the Alpha of
the Pride and soon to be married to Lila. Neither of them
is in love with the other, it is just a duty. He has
accepted his duty but why is he now feeling a wildness
whenever he sees Patch.
Forced to return to the pride homes because of the rumors
of shifter abductions, Patch isn't happy. She usually
disappears while in heat but she can't do that now and
luck
has it that more than she wants she is thrown into the
sight of Roman. Her secret may come out whether she plans
to or not. How can she have what she wants when it will
hurt her best friend? And Roman begins to wonder how he
can
take the lead of the Pride and marry Lila when his heart
will always belong to another.
TAMING THE LION is an amazing, sizzling read that will
hold
you from the first page to the last. This is actually Vivi
Andrews Lone Pine Pride Book two but where Book one
(Jaguar's
Kiss) was written from Lila and Santiago's point of view,
this is all Roman and Patch. It was almost as if the first
book was re-written but of course with more to do with
Roman learning to take over the Pride and Patch trying not
to act on her feelings for Roman. I enjoyed this book
because it went further than the first ... delving into
his
past and having him step up and start to demand things
that
he feels is right for the Pride. You will be happy to read
that things work out right for the lovers, as well as
those
from book one.
Just a warning for those who care, there was a
bit of a cliffhanger ... as they deal with an abducted
shifter and a group called the Organization. This
fantastic, sexy and touching read will go into my read
again pile and I can't wait to see what Ms. Andrews does
next with the Pride.
SUMMARY
When she’s in heat, there’s no cooling down… Lone Pine Pride, Book 2 Wilderness guide and cougar-shifter Patricia “Patch”
Fontaine has known the dangers of lone-shifter life since
she was ten, when her parents mysteriously vanished. All
grown up now, she thrives on her hard-won independence. When rumors of a new rash of shifter abductions crop up,
she’s forced to come home to the Lone Pine Pride for
protection—right as the man she’s always secretly wanted
is
about to marry her best friend. And right as she’s going
into heat. Roman Jaeger values his role as Alpha heir apparent, but
he
isn’t thrilled about his arranged marriage to the Alpha’s
daughter—especially when his bride is just as nonplussed
as
he is—but he’ll do his duty for the pride. Seeing Patch
again challenges his noblest intentions. The wildness in
her
sets him on fire, and he can’t resist the chance for one
last fling. Both know a future together is impossible. But when
chemistry and sowing wild oats grows into a need deeper
than
lust, their bond could threaten the very heart of the
pride
they both love. Warning: This book contains a strong sexy Alpha-to-be, an
independent cougar-shifter who knows her way around a
lion’s
heart, secret affairs, arranged marriages, politics,
passion, and a pride full of lions and tigers and bears.
Oh
my.
