Legend of the Leopard [Paperback]

Melani Blazer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2003

Geneticist Salvatore DeMartiano managed the unbelievable—he accidentally injected himself with infected leopard blood, which has altered his biochemistry. It doesn't help that he's miles into the Sudanese savannah where he cannot easily get the human blood and medicines he needs to solve the mystery of the gene-altering bacteria...Until Julia Haverstock's plane crash-lands not far from his home. She's the only survivor. He's the only one who can speak English. She needs a way home. He needs her blood. Rather than explaining his bizarre predicament, he sets about seducing her, hoping to get close enough to convince her to help.

About the Author

Melani Blazer's mom swears she was born reading, and by age six, was writing little rhymes. It was something she did for fun—even through high school where she was a writer and the copy editor for the school newspaper. But then practical thinking took over and her college focus aimed at science.

Now, too-many-years-to-admit later, she's rediscovered her childhood escape and taken it a step further. She's written stories in a diverse number of genres, but found her true love in paranormals. To keep her feet grounded in real life, she keeps house with her wonderful husband of 14 years, an almost-teenage daughter, and her cats. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Take one sexy, intelligent Italian scientist with a big secret and add in a beautiful, confused plane crash survivor who stumbles onto a mystery, and you have an explosive combination that lights a fire on every page.

Melani Blazer's book is filled with action, adventure, a handsome shapeshifter and a romance that will thrill you! I highly recommend this book. You won't be able to put it down once you start reading it.

Legend of the Leopard : Sal DeMartiano accidentally injected himself with infected leopard blood and now turns into a white leopard uncontrolled. He comes upon a plane wreck with only one survivor Julia. He takes her in and practically keeps her prisoner in his home. Julia is a scientist/ teacher and agrees to help him find a cure for his illness before it's to late.
I read this book straight through because I really got involved with the two main characters. Their love bloomed, the sex was graphic, detailed and often.
This one is a keeper.. I will read it again.


I almost did not read this book due to the previous book I read by this author was terrible.
