Publisher's summary

Maggie returns to the place of her birth and her world suddenly turns into a sensual, but dangerous delight. The rainforest holds secrets of her birthright and a mysterious man, as predatory as any of the animals, waiting in the very heart of the jungle for her arrival.

Under the blazing heat of the Borneo sun, a beautiful naturalist's dream comes true - to live among the feral jungle creatures. But an untamed, irresistible beast of another sort forces her to explore her own wild side.

Not the Place to Start

I have read almost every book in the Leopard Series, starting with Wild Rain back when it came out in 2004 and wanted to listen to them all on audio, since I drive a lot for work. Honestly, had I started with this book way back in 2004, I probably wouldn't have kept reading the series. It doesn't have the same feel as the others, and the narrator uses the same voice and tone for all of the characters, which makes it painful to listen to. I love Christine Feehan's writing, but this one is not for me. I am hoping the other audio books are better.

A good book

It's a good book, but no where near the excellence of the other Leopard books by Christine Feehan.

But, I just could not get into this book. Narration, familiar story, book length too short/too long???

Maggie and Brandt Are First Couple—Hot

It was nice to read how Maggie was lured back to her roots and then shown what she is. Loved the romantic ways that Brandt watched over her and then she helped him win. Be fun to be a golden leopard with a Huge leopard as my mate. These books are so much fun to read. Wonder how the author learned her technique? I listened to the audible version in 2019 and enjoyed it immensely. I have read every Leopard People book and every one has a couple That bond just like Maggie and Brandt did. the narrator is Allison Kruise and she brings these two to life. If you get a chance, listen in audible.
