The hunter is being seduced by his prey...
Mexico, 1850. One fateful night Noah Diaz is ravished by a bold woman who transforms him into an immortal lion. Now he is a wealthy man who owns an underground sex club where supernatural beings can indulge in no-holds-barred sensual play. Though Noah has scores of willing victims, it is the thrill of the hunt he desires...
Jenny Lincoln runs a big cat rescue operation that can't stay afloat-until a donor comes through with the condition that she goes to his club. Both Noah and the club at first frighten her but eventually thrill her. It's clear that she is Noah's prey, but once she gets a taste, it is Jenny who wants more...

Jenny Lincoln runs her grandfather's ranch as a big cat rescue, but funding has been slow and she's going to have to shut down...then she gets an anonymous donation with the promise of more money - enough to keep the rescue running. The only catch is she has to go out with the donor - to his "animal shifter" themed sex club.
Noah Diaz was human, until a vicious attack by a shapeshifter changed his life forever. A century later, he's running a sex club for shifters and shifter groupies. He happens to stumble across Jenny's rescue, and his cat side wants to chase her. Obscenely rich, he offers her the promise of enough money to save her ranch. Will the straight-laced, innocent Jenny take the bait?
My thoughts:
I'm going to be blunt: I could not get into this book. It started off well - Noah wants to date Jenny, he's wanting the thrill of the chase. She's innocent and not very experienced and Noah thinks she's going to fight her attraction the whole way. So far, so good, right? I love when the H/H fight their attraction.
Then things quickly turn around: She goes to his sex club and sees what it's all about, and the next day she's telling him her sexual fantasies and having phone sex! Now "the chase" is gone. They embark on a sexual relationship, there's a "Beauty and the Beast" reenactment, some magic stones, and Noah is now denying his love for Jenny while she's insisting he does love her.
All in all, the characters read as very inconsistent, the plot was weak, and at one point there was a scene involving yogurt and a sex toy that caused me to get up and walk away. I'm not sure why her cousin Matt was written into the story, he seemed to serve no purpose, and Coyote, Noah's accountant, seemed to have an interesting background but was only used to push the story in the direction the author was going. -
Have no doubt, this book is paranormal erotica. In little time the hero and heroine are having phone sex, watching others have sex and doing each other. Normally I'm cool with unprotected sex in romance, but this time it was gross. The hero says, "I'm not gonna use protection. Normally I do, but since you know what I am, it isn't necessary to pretend that it matters." It continues, "Jenny had never had sex without a condom, and the notion of being flesh to flesh, especially with someone who wasn't altogether human, was strangely thrilling."
Worse was when the a sex toy was filled with a yogurt mixture to mimic semen and "ejaculate" in the heroine. It was just pure cheesiness bordering on and at times falling into Ewwwww. -
Jenny feels so deeply, and she lays it all out there for everyone to see. She shows more heart and determination than Noah could ever hope to achieve, and yet she loves him without reservation. I really like how honest and open she is about her wants, needs, and desires, and most especially how far she is willing to go to keep the love of her life. In contrast, Noah may come across as a bit harsh and crass, but it is his deep seated need to keep Jenny safe under any circumstances that lets you know how he feels deep down inside.

I liked this book more than "Demonic" - but it was (as the rating shows) - just okay.
It's an interesting enough story and characters- but just nothing really stand out.
Also, the heroine is kind of annoying - it wasn't admirable (to me) that she just decided from the start the hero loved her and that was that and she was going to take away his immortality. O_o [Yeah, sound crazy yet?]
It all works out nicely but she wasn't realistic.
Rather contradictory too - all "oh I'm never going to have sex with him" to the next day "omg yes! We're going to have sexytimes and I loves youuu" -
The sex was pretty good, I didn't like the story as much as much as Demonic and the price of the e-book ($10), especially when compared with the length and depth of story, was way too much.

This was a decent read. Nice story. Can't really say much more than that. I wasn't really captivated nor was it boring.
