Whose cold silver eyes and heated sensuality sent shivers of danger, of desire, down her slender spine. With a dark magic all his own, Gregori - the implacable hunter, the legendary healer, the most powerful of Carpathian males - whispered in Savannah's mind that he was her destiny.

Waste of money waste of time
This is a waste of time! This book although important I guess for the series was just a waste of time and money. I am a huge fan of Christine Feehan she is the author who got me into paranormal books. So I figured that this series would be a good one. Man was i wrong.
It isn't that long but it took me forever to read. I can't explain. How much of a bore this book was.
A woman goes to the jungle of South America to inherit her dead parents estate. She meets a man and with in one day of meeting him falls in love with him and begins sleeping with him and decides to spend the rest of her life with him. Oh and a plot twist another man tries to steal her and the two men duke it out and fight to the death to have her. That is what the story is about in a two sentences.
From the excepts that I have apart from this one the rest of the series seem to have more meat to them, and should be more entertaining than this one.
I wold have to say hat this is not essential to the series and you can go on to the second book and be fine with out reading the first one. The narrator did a okay job but not the best. All in all this is not one of the best from Christine Feehan.

The Awakening
I have read all of this author's books, from several of her different series, and I have got to say this was the worst book I have read of hers. I guess, statistically, she was due for a stinker!
The love scenes got to be tiring and tedious- I actually had to skip over them since I couldn't take them anymore, which made the story end much faster, and made me feel cheated as far as the money spent to buy it.
Christine, please, go back to developing the storyline and cut out the sex already!

The Awakening Leopard Series Book 1.
Brandt Talbot was an estate care taker whose lifemate was giving to another woman to rise. Her name is Maggie Odessa and she was the child of two leopards. Who were killed by some Poachers long ago Miss Jayne Odessa raised her and she promised her mother that she will never allow her to come into the rain forest. Due to the killings of her parents. REVIEW: The Awakening is book 1 in Christine Feehan’s Leopard Series. Rain forests, mangos, and tarsiers pulled me in right away. Having seen and held a tarsier in the Philippines, I can easily relate to the glorious descriptions in this story. The tarsier is one of the smallest primates with the biggest eyes. Brandt had searched the world for years seeking Maggie since her parents were killed in the rain forest. Brandt lured Maggie to Borneo via a legal office alerting her of an inheritance of property there. Upon arriving in the high humidity, she became aware of physiologic changes making her more aware of her body and femininity. She felt like she had come to life in this canvas of perfumed flowers. She knew she belonged here. Upon meeting with Brandt, she was uncertain. She shied away from his forwardness and became suspicious. Brandt cautiously related her family’s history, their life work, and the mission of his community of shape shifters. Being super alpha, he was inept at conveying his caring for her. Eventually, after considerable dialog she calmed and found herself physically attracted to him. (Feehan’s hyper speed attraction/lust). Super hot sex! While Brandt was out, Maggie considered running away and suffered through Han Vol Dan, shifting to a cat, alone. Lots of action, danger and fighting ensued. While this book is only a short but intense introduction to a series, it was great. The world building is so believable, I felt like I could smell the flowers, hear the birds and animals. Feehan fans should love this book and series. I’m off to get Wild Rain.

Too short and too sexual
What could Christine Feehan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Some less sex, more plot, more characters.
Which scene was your favorite?
Entering the house for the first time.
Any additional comments?
It was well written but had very little plot, few characters and a lot of description of the bedroom. I don't mind sexual books, but I do like more to a book than just that. So, it's a so so book.

unawakened
Would you try another book from Christine Feehan and/or Allison Kruise?
I absolutely LOVE Christine Feehan's stories, good story lines, and STRONG heroines! BUT, this reader gave her heroine such a weak, whiny quality, I found myself glad that this was one of the shorter of her stories. Would likely not purchase another book with Ms Kruise being the reader. :-(
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Ms Kruise made the heroine appear weak and whiny. NOT Ms Feehan's heroines at all.
Was The Awakening worth the listening time?
Enjoyed the story, though.

Would you try another book from Christine Feehan and/or Allison Kruise?
I think so
What could Christine Feehan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
it was to much like the Dark Series...which I loved I just thought this one would be ......more!
What didn’t you like about Allison Kruise’s performance?
She wasn't bad at all space and tone was fine..
What character would you cut from The Awakening?
The characters were interesting... I don't think I would cut any.
Any additional comments?
I am willing to give the next book a try... I did like the story, again it's just that I though it would be different.....just something more... I can't put my finger on it..

My only complaint was that the story wasn't longer
A great story. Erotically charged. Since it is a relatively short book the plot isn't as complicated as many Christine Feehan books but it was quite good.
