Summary: Disappointed
Review: I am a huge fan of Christine Feehan, I own all of her books and am anxiously awaiting the release of Dark Symphony.
BUT - Lair of the Lion left me feeling betrayed as an avid reader. I hated the way within minutes of their first time, he withdrew his offer of marriage and told her he would only take her as a mistress and he would take another bride. Could not believe Nicoli would be so heartless to Isabel. I kept hoping she would get away from that jerk. That ruined the book for me. It made the heroince feel used and betrayed. The ending was also not developed enough, no epilogue. Just a final call for the priest did not make up for the humiliation from his withdrawal of marriage.
Although I did not like "Lair of the Lion" I have loved and read and re-read all other Feehan works and have the entire collection of everything she has written. She has real talent and I am anxiously looking forward to her next releases.

Summary: A rewritten "Beauty and the Beast", essentially.
Review: Interesting, but merely a somewhat different take on an old storyline. Toss in a few Italian phrases, a few screaming phantoms, a hero that broods more than David Boreanaz, and voila - Lair of the Lion. I was expecting Carpathians, and this is not in the same line as that series. It was a nice read, but in the end seemed more fluff than substance. I can appreciate the time and effort put into making this book, and it was
definitely a pretty good afternoon read.

Summary: One of Feehan's best efforts
Review: If you like Christine Feehan, you'll love this latest effort. If you've never read her work, this is a great place to start. Her Dark Series books are good reading, though a little heavy at times. Lair of the Lion is by far one of her best works. It grabs you from the first page and never lets you go. You'll read far into the night and then mourn when it ends.

Summary: Oh, the melodrama!!
Review: I was excited to begin this book for my local romance readers group because I'd heard many positive things about author Christine Feehan and the book appeared to be a new twist on the beauty and the beast theme (one of my personal favorites). Sadly, things didn't work out between me and author Christine Feehan (too much melodrama for me) and now I'm weary of beginning her vampire series (most of which I already own). Somebody please tell me this book was fluke!Isabella is a beautiful, headstrong young maiden (aren't they all) who sets out on adventure to save her brother from the clutches of a very Eeevil man. The one man who Isabella believes can help her is Don DeMarco but, most unfortunately, he is reputed to be a cursed man and is apparently feared by all. Undaunted, our brave little heroine makes the treacherous trip to Don DeMarco's lair, a trip that has felled many a stronger man before her. Safe at the lair she meets Don DeMarco and can't figure out what the fuss about him is all about. So what if he's a bit broody, he's gorgeous! He agrees to help her with conditions attached (which I won't reveal unless you force me). She then takes up residence in his home. At night she hears spooky, ominous sounds in the night. She wanders about and makes dense decisions and faces down deadly lions (which seem to roam the home freely) while the people surrounding her begin to act all nutty. As the story advances lots of spooky and ominous stuff happens. Over and over again! None of it going anywhere or advancing the plot. During all of this repetitive madness Isabella and the cursed man (or is he?) begin to fall in love. Or that's what we're supposed to believe. Personally, I didn't buy it. Initially I was hooked by the setup of the story, despite what I thought was an abundance of overly flowerly descriptive prose, a tendency towards the melodramatic and an annoying smattering of Italian words. But by page 70 my patience and excitement to turn the pages quickly began to wane. Extreme lack of character development (not to mention the over-the-top writing) did me in. I never felt like I knew any of these characters and when several of them acted oddly it didn't seem all that weird to me because for all I knew this was how they acted normally. The love story is also weakened by the lack of character development. The couple bounce back and forth between trusting each other wholly, falling into bed, having hot sex and then, when it's all over, they're back to distrusting each other. Ahhhhhh! I have no patience for this sort of thing and was soon bored of these two. Sadly, all of these problems continued until the anti-climatic end. So, folks, are the vampire books similar in style??

Summary: Sexy
Review: Not my usual read, but I liked it. The romance was first class. I like 'em sexy, fun and exciting like my most recent favorite "Anything, My Love" by Cynthia Simmons.

Summary: Not Good
Review: First off, let me start by saying that I had read an excerpt from this book a few months before it was actually released. The beginning seemed so good that I pre-ordered the book and checked my mail box every day eagerly awaiting its arrival. However, when the book finally arrived I was left wishing I could send it back. The first parts of the book started off so well, but after that everything just diminished. I give the book one star because the sex scenes did indeed sizzle, but this book is a definite testimony that great sex scenes don't make the book. The plot was extremely weak. This whole re-write thing of beauty and the beast was tired and boring. Secondly, the curse left a lot to be desired. The constant peril of the heroine became silly by 6 chapter. The hero seemed whiny and tiresome. Overall, the book was boring.... It took me nearly 3 weeks to finally finish the book.

Summary: a good travel read.....
Review: This book was very romantic and the love scenes sizzled. The story line could have been stronger. The heroine was too weepy and the "victim" role was exhausted, never the less, I would read a sequel should one ever be written.
