Rating:  Summary: Jaguar Eyes - Keep you reading Review: I read this book of Claybourne's some time ago, but remember just loving it. It is a fantasy, My Fair Lady, type of book. You love the heroinne, and though, in retrospect, the storyline is very unbelievable, you don't focus on that while reading it. It is just a fun, fast read. I love Claybourne's sense of humor and her cleverness that make all of her books so fresh. The cover of the book almost made me leave it on the shelf; however, I have read all of Claybourne's books because they never disappoint. I was right, this was a great book to pick up. Be warned, you may have a difficult time putting the book down until the last page is read.
Rating:  Summary: Starts well, but ends not so well Review: The begining of this book is very interesting. The hero, Daniel, goes to the Amazon jungle on a search for his selfworth & manhood (his father is a lot overbaring). He gets captured by the amazons & meets the heroine Vanessa. They instantly are attracted to each other & when Daniel is in danger, Vanessa helps him escape. Vanessa is guileless and very open at the begining. She is unique to her people (the Ama'zon's) in that she feels emotions. Daniel is the second male she has ever met. The first was when she was 10.Their first love scene is very hot, which seems very promising. Than Daniel takes Vanessa back to England with him as proof of his discovery of the Ama'zon culture. He doesn't want to contaminate his "Specimen" so spends the rest of the book trying to resist Vanessa. Vanessa decides on arriving in England to learn its ways. She meet's Daniels father in a bookstore & when she finally relises Daniel only brought her to London as proof, she runs to his father for help in returning to the Jungle. Three months have passed by now & she knows she is pregnant, & Daniels father knows she is carrying his heir. He doesn't want to loose the baby, so he convinces Vanessa to stay with him at his country estate. From here, 3 months pass in about 5 paragraphs. Vanessa leaves for the jungle with the help of Daniel's horrible mother, just as Daniel finally realises he loves her. Daniel & his father chase her to the Jungle. He catches up with her in the Ama'zon city. And they are happy again. THE END. It was so lame. The start of the book was very detailed & then it rushed in time 6 months to the the end. I gave is 3 stars because of the begining, but the ending spoilt it. I wouldn't keep this book and I'm usually a pack rat when it comes to keeping books.
