"Roni "Veronica" has lost her mother at a young age and her father isn't quite the loving type, he can be very abusive especially when he wants money from her. Roni met Taber when she was just eleven years old, hiding in the woods, since then Taber has kept watch over her. Roni cannot deny that she has wanted Taber, love him since she was sixteen, but Taber always kept his distance. Now she is twenty-two years old and in trouble again, but she knows Taber will come to her rescue.
Taber kept his distance from Roni because he is one of the Breeds and he will not get her involved in this secret mess he is in. But when he bails her out of jail and she pushes him over the edge, he cannot control his instincts and he puts his mark on her. Finally their live together can begin, but because of interfering of a traitor, they both believe the other wants nothing to do with the other and they keep their distance.
Now several months later the news about the Breeds is out in the open and Roni is in danger, because her father saw the mark on her body and sold that information to the highest bidder. Taber knows the only thing to do is save her yet again and claim his mate once and for all.
The man within by Lora Leigh is the second novel in the Breed series and I loved every word of it. This novel is full of danger, relation issues and of course hot and steamy scenes.
Roni and Taber know each other since Roni was eleven years old. He looked out for her ever since and now years later he has to bails her out of jail. They both cannot ignore the huge sparkles flying around between them and Taber cannot control his instincts and marks her as his mate. But for some stupid reason they are drifted apart from each other. Months later everyone knows about the Breeds and that puts Roni in danger, because of Taber's mark. But nobody treats his mate and get away with it, so Taber takes the first flight to save and claim his mate once and for all.
What I like about this series is the huge closeness between the Breeds Callan, Dawn, Sherra, Tanner and Taber; I know this is normal, because first they living in secret and now they are all in the open about their DNA. But that is not all, Callan's mate and her brothers are a part of this too and they will do anything in their power to help the Breeds in their journey.
Roni determination to find a cure for this bonding was so hilarious, because we already saw this struggle in the first novel, when Merinus was claimed by Callen. But I'm glad to see that love and friendship will win Roni over, so she can make peace with her Breed life."
"I learned a little more of the early Breed history and have met a few characters whose books I've already read. (Mercury, Tanner, Dawn). I really liked Taber although I think his name could have been better. Taber?? Is that the best she could come up with? I liked his intensity and his devotion. Unfortunately his devotion was to an idiot. I hated Roni. She seemed like a selfish person, even despite her background. I never felt the chemistry (no pun intended) between them was genuine. She was hot one minute and cold the next. And the crude language she kept spouting was a turn off.
If I had started this series from the very beginning, I doubt I would have continued with it. Having read later, much better books, I can say Ms. Leigh improved the series dramatically. I will continue to play catch up with the early books but they will no longer be a priority read for me if they are as lame as this one was."
"What another Hot and fantastic read from Lora Leigh in the Breed Series! "The Man Within" picks up where "Tempting the Beast" left off.
After the Breeds reveal their existence, the world reacts to the revelation with both positive and negative opinions. New racial groups are being formed against the Breeds while more sympathetic supporters are fighting to help them flourish. The Kentucky town where the Feline Breeds were residents for years has become a media circus and tourist attraction, and some of the residents have embraced the popularity while others try to avoid it. Local resident, Roni Andrews is trying to live her life and mend her broken heart in seclusion after discovering the man she loved is in fact one of the Feline Breeds. After the media discovers the unhealed bite mark left on her neck on her neck months earlier, Roni has no one else to turn to for help other than the man who created the mark and broke her heart and shattered her sould when he deserted her: Taber.
The passion, the intensity and complexity of each character, as well as their development, the mystery and suspense, and the overall story itself made such a great addition to this series! It just keeps getting better and better, and you just have to keep reading to find out what happens next!"
