Ashe Bronte needed help and when she recognized Evangeline's name
when she married the suspected Mafia Don, Fydor Amurov, she thought
she found the way to safety. Little does she know that once in the
Amurov world there would be no escape. Very quickly she realizes that
she will not be wanting to go on any kind of LEOPARD'S RUN if it takes her from Timur.
Timur Amurov takes his families safety seriously, so much so that he is
willing to get rid of the lovely barista his sister-in-law had hired
permanently if necessary. With the cold, fear engulfing upbringing he
suffered until his escape with his brother and cousins how could he
imagine that he would find the one person in existence who calmed his
angry leopard? And how is it that anyone would dare try to harm his
mate?
LEOPARD'S RUN showcases
Christine Feehan's storytelling ability at its very, very best. I loved
Timur throughout the books involving this family. I guess I have a thing,
in print at least, for the quiet, very deadly male. I wondered where Ms.
Feehan would find the right mate for him, knowing how autocratic he
was in all things. Ashe is perfect and is someone who was taught
almost from birth how to protect herself, by using whatever means at
hand, and toward the end, using what she found in the bakery was
amazing. She might have to put up with Mr. "my way or nothing," but in
essence, she gains a lot becoming involved with Timur. For most of her
life, it had been her parents and herself and she wasn't always sure that
she was all that welcome with them, but after hearing her complete
story then you understand they were always afraid for themselves and
her. She also got to have herself the pleasure of "brothers," though she
wasn't about to tell any of the pain in the backside guards she was
stuck with that little fact.
The best part for Ashe was that Timur accepted her, and though he
was bossy, there was the feeling that he truly loved all her quirks and
even the moments when she disagreed he would never want her to
change. Well, maybe he would like a little less disagreement, but he
accepts her. She is the only one who sees Timur beyond the cold-
blooded killer he believes himself to be. And throughout LEOPARD'S RUN we get to see the
real Timur, who opens up to her in ways he wasn't sure he ever would
be able to.
If you are looking for a fierce, overprotective, demanding leopard
shifter; a woman who knows how to handle herself in a fight; danger,
intrigue, secrets, lies, and truth with a really steamy, can't catch your
breath, romance woven throughout the pages then LEOPARD'S RUN is exactly what you need.
He keeps his emotions on a tight leash, but she can see
the desire burning in his eyes…
Timur Amurov has
one purpose in life: protect his family at all costs. With
lethal skills honed from a violent upbringing, Timur is a
leopard shifter who sees any newcomers as possible
threats—and the petite blond barista who his sister-in-law,
Evangeline, has hired to work in her bakery is definitely
hiding something. While Timur still needs to determine if
Ashe is an enemy, he does know that she is the only woman
whose presence has ever truly calmed the beast roaring
inside of him.
Ashe Bronte is well aware she has a
type: sexy, gorgeous and dangerous as hell. Despite the fact
that Timur is all those things and more, Ashe is in San
Antonio for reasons that do not involve getting wild with a
ruthless leopard—and she cannot afford to make any mistakes.
But Timur has ignited something deep within her, and even
though she knows she should keep her distance, every move he
makes has her craving a taste…
