Fever (Leopard) [Kindle Edition]

Christine Feehan (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In Wild Rain and the novella "The Awakening," Christine Feehan created an exotic, sensual race-the Leopard People. Fever brings the two stories together for the first time in one volume, a one-way ticket to a dizzying new world of desire.

In "The Awakening," a beautiful naturalist's dream comes true-to live among the feral jungle creatures. But an untamed, irresistible beast of another sort inspires her to explore her own wild side.

Wild Rain's Rachel Lospostros has escaped from a faceless assassin and found sanctuary thousands of miles from home, under the towering jungle canopy. In this world teeming with unusual creatures she encounters Rio, a native of the forest imbued with a fierce prowess, and possessed of secrets of his own. When Rio unleashes the secret animal instincts that course through his blood, Rachel must decide if he is something to be feared-or desired.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feehan Has started a new Adventure!, February 14, 2006

This book COMBO (Wild Rain and The Awakening) introduces a new species, explains their history, and shares details of their surroundings and culture. This is a challenging undertake by any author, thusly my earlier comments on Christine being "adventurous". Often this undertaking will leave a "practical" reader disappointed, since of course; the book's theory is exactly not that "practical", but rather "fantasy".

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading prenatural books. I just hope that she continues on writing up on this series just as much as she does with the dark series. I'm eagerly anticipating additions to the Leopard series. I'm hoping to see a story about Rachel's brother Elijah; he'll be an interesting cat to read.

The story of Rachelle and Rio in the rain forest is very captivating. Christine Feehan has delightfully decided to embark on new adventures. This time we have an opportunity to enjoy her talents as she takes on a wonderful love story set in the jungle. All the elements are there: intrigue, suspense, romance, and the ability to keep us glued to the story. You'll get hook once you open the book. Happy reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars Repeats/condense/re-releases, February 3, 2006

By 

S. Moore "book in hand" (NC, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fever (Leopard) (Mass Market Paperback)

The only time a 2-in-1 re-release book helps anyone is for those people who stumble across the author whose style they really like and decide they want to read everything they have published. They save money. Good for them. It may also help those who want to read something by that author that is no longer in print. I think that is the only good reason to "re-release" a title. I love Christine Feehan's work and she is not the only author I really like that does this. It's frustrating because you think "Oh boy, a new book by so and so" then crash! Also,I really dislike when authors re-release a title with "a few added revisions". The book is ages old and after you've bought it with new cover, etc you start reading to find its "old". I've really had to start watching those first print dates. Thank you for allowing to to blow off steam with regards to this subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Series, February 17, 2007

This review is from: Fever (Leopard) (Mass Market Paperback)

Christine Feehan's writing is compelling. I love that she maintains several series, writing new books about the characters in each. In this particular series I love that she has imagined a whole new species and given that species aspects of humanity as well as aspects of the wild, from the rainforest environment that they inhabit. But more than any of these things, I love that Feehan's books, though definitely wonderfully erotic, do not depend entirely on that eroticism. She writes stories that offer mystery, full blown action and suspense, as well as explore the relationships between the characters.
