Kate Douglas' LIONHEART is a futuristic, erotica with paranormal touches. And its one great, hot love story! The hero, Sanders, is an alien lion-like space explorer who crashes on earth and is rescued and aided by the heroine Mara. They are a perfect match for each other and the love scenes between them are hot enough to melt the pages!
I really enjoyed this fast paced read, and look forward to the author's future books in this same series. If youre looking for a hot erotica read with an adventure that keeps you turning the pages, then rush out and get this book; you certainly wont regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Tales review, September 14, 2003

By 

"tteditor" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lionheart (Paperback)

By TT reviewer Tracy Few

Mara Armand, empath and head of the Armand Institute, has broken new ground. With the World Federation having outlawed any contact with alien species, the very fact that Mara has done just that leaves her fellow Sensitives more than just a little unnerved. But if the scant report she has been making to the board unnerves them, the fact that she has made more than just your normal contact with the alien would send the board into turmoil. For she has been sharing a mind link with the alien that is so intimate, so attuned, that when his ship is destroyed, and the alien cries out in need, she guides his life pod to crash near the institute.

Having been traveling through space, Sander, an Explorer, has visited Mara telepathically for the last three months. What started out as an innocent contact, by way of a 'ritual kiss' and sharing of thoughts, quickly turned into a sensual seduction and surrender. Now, with his ship destroyed, he must rely on the Armand Institute to keep the secret of his arrival, and for Mara and her people to help him to find a way to return home. With their love for one another rapidly growing, the couple will have to face the World Federation, as well as a traitor in their midst. One that will stop at nothing to make sure that Sander does not return home.

Ms Douglas' vibrant characters are unlike any other. Her detail to description gives the reader the insight into the very soul of the alien Sander, and the earth woman he loves. With an interwoven subplot of subterfuge and betrayal, you will be hanging on the edge of your seat until the very end. A tale of sensual seduction, and surrender, that is a must read for any true erotica fan.
