Rule Breaker: A Novel of the Breeds, Book 29 Description
There's a fine line between animal instinct and human desire - and in her "highly erotic saga" (Fresh Fiction), #1 New York Times best-selling author Lora Leigh crosses it.
Now, in her new audiobook of the Breeds, the mating heat continues?Lion Breed and enforcer Rule Breaker has just a few rules he doesn't break. Not for anything. Not for anyone - like never have sex with a woman outside his own breed, especially a human woman. Especially someone too helpless, too fun loving and too full of life to ever be able to protect herself, let alone help him to protect her.
If the damned animal inside him insists on a mate, then why pick her? A woman who is an easy target and who can be used as a weapon against him at any time. But what he suspects is mating heat may not be that at all. Just his animal instincts rioting, pacing, irritated whenever he's away from her.
Okay, he can handle that. What ensues is a fiery affair that breaks all the rules of mating heat and will eventually endanger his mate with the very rules designed to protect the Breeds - for she's possibly been working against them?

I just adore Lora Leigh's Breeds and look forward to each new story being released. I don't even mind that there's a repetitive formula to the books ... angst, male resisting the mate idea, danger, passion, chase the bad guys, a few subplots and stealthy secondary characters in the mix and then happily ever after.
But this attempt at convoluted subterfuge was just bizarre. It made no sense - and at the end - it seemed everyone pretty much knew or suspected who all the other secret players were anyway. And the contradictions... I understand Rule Breaker being conflicted, resisting the idea of a mate because of the horror he saw with his mother. He lives his life with the idea of leaving immediately if a possible mate ever comes into his orbit - avoiding having a mate. Has clauses about not taking jobs involving women. Supposedly he doesn't know Gypsy is his mate, although there's a protectiveness and strong attraction since first being part of the team that saves her when she's 15. So for the next 9 years, he watches over her, pulls strings behind the scenes to involve Gypsy in covert activities, and actually finds a way to ensure she remains untouched sexually, saving her virginity for him. But - theoretically - she's not his mate. Huh??
It was nice (as always) to catch glimpses of the other characters and get sneak peaks into their lives, although there wasn't too much of substance. Love Baby Amber, so I'm glad some of her story got resolved even thought that particular plot line was unbelievably weak.
My biggest pet peeve: there's a point at which Rule is unbelievably stupid (don't want to add too much of a spoiler) and unwittingly leaves Gypsy, leaving her feeling totally humiliated. Lots of conflict, hurt ensues.
RULE BREAKER is the twenty-ninth instalment in Lora Leigh's paranormal Breed series focusing on a government experiment that went horribly wrong. Trying to create the ultimate warrior, the scientists combined animal DNA with human embryos resulting in a species that has been feared and tortured since their inception. Hoping to prevent their exposure, the Breeds are hunted, tortured and destroyed by the very people who created them. This is Rule Breaker and Gypsy McQuade's story.
The call to mate is strong but every once in awhile there are those who refuse to acknowledge the existence of the ONE. Rule knows that Gypsy McQuade is his mate but refuses to stake a claim fearing that he should risk her life and her heart. What ensues is a storyline of one man who cannot stay away from the call of his mate but a storyline where his mate is the number one suspect in an act of betrayal against the Breeds.
With the release of RULE BREAKER Lora Leigh has addressed and answered many of the previous unknowns, quandaries and unfinished storylines. The buildup of a betrayer and the fight to save a young child's life will come full circle as the reader is pulled into a struggle between family and friends. We are witness to a woman who knows rejection and betrayal at the hands of those that she loves but the pain only intensifies when the truth about her brother's death and her family's connections slowly destroy a heart that was broken so many years before.
Once again, Lora gathers many of the previous storyline characters as questions are answered and mysteries are solved. We watch as a father fears for the life of child and mate while another family begins to break apart when the truth is finally revealed.
