"Sinfully sensual and sexual, the Breeds are definitely a breed apart."

Tanner's Scheme

Paranormal | Romance Erotica Sensual | Romance Paranormal

The Breeds are test tube babies created by mixing human and animal DNA. The results are more-than-human super soldiers. They are bred, raised, conditioned, trained and controlled by the military. Or that was the plan. Who would guess that the "animals" would have ideas of their own. Unexpected things can happen when you mess with Mother Nature. Once contained in government training centers, the Breeds escaped to live life on their own terms. Not that they're not still hunted. The Breeds have enemies -- powerful men in high places who plot the Breeds' eventual demise. But the "animals" have gone mainstream. The public now knows about them and, for the time being, public sentiment is on their side. Tanner Reynolds is a public relations nightmare for General Cyrus Tallant and the Genetics Council he heads. Handsome and charismatic, Tanner thrives in the public eye. He's everything Cyrus doesn't want the public to consider when they think of the Breeds. A Bengal Breed, Tanner's public face is a far cry from the man he truly is. When Cyrus attacks the Breeds' base, Tanner retaliates by kidnapping the general's daughter, Scheme. What Tanner does not know is that Scheme has been working undercover for the Bureau of Breed Affairs for years. In the course of her undercover work, Scheme has collected enough evidence to bring down her father and his cronies. Failing to completely cover her tracks after her last job, Cyrus now knows that his daughter has betrayed him and he orders her death. Before the order can be carried out, Tanner grabs Scheme and takes her to an underground hideaway where she is safe from Cyrus and the Bureau, both of whom want her back. For now she's safe from both factions, one who wants to use her and the other who wants her dead. Tanner wants her too and Scheme finds herself wondering if she shouldn't just take her chances with the assassins above ground rather than trying to tame the Breed below ground in his lair. Ladies, ladies...are you ready for the Breeds? Hot, hard and prepared for just about anything. If you don't think you can handle these alpha males, then by all means stay away. Stick with your Regency tea parties and waltzes. These guys aren't much for teacakes and dancing. What they are is sinfully sensual and determined to take what is theirs and come out on top. The language is frank, the sex explicit and the plot is all there. The character development and story arc have not been sacrificed for the sake of erotica, as sometimes is the case. This series, first published by Ellora's Cave and now gone more mainstream with Berkley Sensation, is well-worth checking out.

SUMMARY

A sexy paranormal series set in a world where genetically altered Breeds and the humans who created them sometimes come together in the fiercest of passions. After the Feline Breeds' main base is attacked, Tanner desires revenge. So he kidnaps Scheme Tallant - the daughter of a one-time high-ranking member of the Genetics Council. But when Tanner discovers that Scheme herself is a target of her father's ruthless mission, his vengeance takes a back seat to saving the life of the woman he hopes to claim as his mate.
