Summary: Christine Does it Again
Review: After reading all the current works of Ms. Feehan; I am blow away yet again by the power and passion of her work. For those that loved the "Beauty and the Beast" story as children; you will love the adult twist that Ms. Feehan has created in this one of a kind book. I look forward to your next Creation Christine~!

Summary: OK, but not great
Review: I am a fan of the "Dark" Series and have read the Scarletti Curse. This book is similar to the Scarletti Curse. It's almost like she went back and rewrote it with more sex and changed the plot enough to have a different book. The mysteropis lions and supernatural evil being didn't work for me, but she did a better job of character development in this book than the Scarletti Curse. Overall worth reading, but had some big holes in the plot.

Summary: I like them all...
Review: There is not one book that Christine Feehan has written that doesn't make you want to hide to book after you finish it, just to have the pleasure of finding it later to read again...

Summary: Grrrrrr or should I say meow?
Review: This a beauty and the beast story without much plot or action and absolutely no characterization. On the other hand, once the sex scenes start, they're lusty and frequent, but unforunately not very original.Probably the most irritating aspect of the book is Feehan's use of italicized Italian words. signora, famiglia, palazzo, aristocratizla, cara....If we are to assume that the characters are speaking Italian, why then would some of their words be in Italian and most in English? Endearments would be one thing, but if I have to read the words 'mio fratelleo' one more time I am going to growl. I gave it one star because I had to force myself to finish it. And had it been a library book, I would have just taken it back.
I enjoy fantasy plots, but the requisite word here is PLOT, something LAIR OF THE LION lacks. I used to look forward to Christine Feehan's books. But this is my last one.

Summary: Disappointing!!
Review: After the fantastic Carpathian 'Dark' series, I anxiously awaited this newest book, The Lair of the Lion. I was disappointed, to be truthful. It's Beauty & the Beast all over again with some Italian words and phrases thrown in to confuse you. Instead of her father, Beauty has to save her brother. While the Carpathian stories made you believe there could actually be some of these people in existence, I didn't believe in the people in this story, and what's worse, I didn't really care about them and their problems. Sorry, Ms. Feehan, the book really wasn't worth waiting for. Please go back to Byron and Dayan and give us their stories.

Summary: Doesn't live up to the hype..
Review: I guess if you enjoyed The Scarletti Curse, then you'll love this one. Another Italian setting (and I'm Italian), another curse to be broken before true love prevails. I really enjoy Ms. Feehan's contemporary Dark Series, and I thought Id give this a try. I just couldn't get into the story even though Beauty and the Beast is one my all time favorite fairy tales. It really wasnt worth my time or money.

Summary: Great!!
Review: I have read and loved all of Christine Feehan's book. This one is no exception. As with her other books the plot of Lair of the Lion is very imaginitive. The main characters are likeable and well written. The secondary characters are interesting and each bring something to the story. This is one of the books that make you want to lock the doors and unplug the phone so you can read it all in one sitting! My only complaint is I'm going to have to wait 6 months for the next book by Christine! As complaints go I think thats the best one you can give!

Summary: Too silly! A real wallbanger.
Review: I am a BIG fan of the "Dark" books, but this so-called "Gothic" cannot compare. It takes more than just putting a woman in a long gown and throwing in four or five Italian words to create a sense of time or place. Lacking a believable world, the characters range from silly to frankly fantastical. There is no tension or suspense or mystery. A BIG disappointment.

Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: I have read ALL of Christine Feehan's books and, while I like the "Dark" series best, this book was good - much better than the Scarlotti Curse. I highly recommend her Dark books and look forward to more of those.

Summary: Feehan's Version of Beauty & The Beast
Review: Christine has done it again! A new twist to the old story of The Beauty and the Beast. Isabella will risk all to save her brother and her only hope is Don Nicolai. Isabella has spent all to get to the Don for help, what will she give him for his help? He will only take the greatest gift she has to give.
I loved the book because it shows that love does conquer evil. Even breaking generational curses. This book is one that will hold your interest from beginning to end.
