Bengal's Quest

A Breed Novel

By: Lora Leigh

Narrated by: Brianna Bronte

Length: 11 hrs and 16 mins

Publisher's summary

"No one spins a story quite like Lora Leigh” (Night Owl Reviews) - and when it comes to her “highly charged and carnal” (Fresh Fiction) Breed novels, nobody does it better. Now, the number one New York Times best-selling author tells a story of two Breeds who are united by animal desires, only to find it’s vengeance that stirs the mating heat...

He was a shadow, ever shifting and insinuating, able to blend in everywhere and anywhere. The elusive ideal conceived and created by the Genetics Council, he went by just as many names as he had identities - the last one being Gideon.

Now calling himself Graeme, he hides in plain sight, terrifyingly close to his goal. A rogue Bengal Breed, he has loyalties to no one but himself. And he has a need for vengeance that surges hot and swift through his veins. Graeme plans to exact an extreme and ruthless vendetta against those who wronged him - Breed and human alike. All will suffer his wrath: Those who created him, those who pretended to love him, and those who betrayed him. That includes the one at the center of it all: a seductive, enigmatic woman helpless against the man whose desire is just as desperate as his need to destroy. And he’s on her scent...

Revenge or love everlasting?

The game he plays is deep, the stakes are high, he is the master at this game of deception, but what other way is there to play when the survival of your species and your very mate is at stake. One moment you will wonder at his genius then next you’ll question his very sanity, but that is no more than he’s been doing himself for years, ever since he left a young Cat after swearing revenge on the young girl that saved his life and irrevocably tied them together and insured his forays into madness. He’s been many years without his mate. She’s been hidden beneath the veil of tribal magic. Now the veil is lifted and it’s just a matter of time before he claims her permanently. The question is… does he want his revenge or does he want his mate? Who is her mate? Is he Gideon? Is he G? or perhaps his latest incarnation as Graeme? No matter the face he shows the world, he’s managed to accrue his chits and grown quite a loyal following. Makes it just a bit difficult for the poor Jonas to pin him down.

I think up until Gideon I had thought one of the most intriguing characters created by Ms. Leigh was Jonas. I would be very hard pressed to choose after a Bengal’s Quest. Can I just say wow? Talk about a very complex character. And for such a complex alpha male you better believe you’ll get a similarly complex heroine. You’d have to be a rather complex woman if you had a resident ghost co-inhabiting your body.

Thirteen years ago a group of Native American shaman performed a ritual transforming her from Fawn into Claire, a recently deceased girl from the tribe. A bit of plastic surgery had her living the lie for years. But unlike her friend Honor, Fawn never lost herself in the new identity. She didn’t end up in a loving, nurturing family. Instead, she ended up in the care of a traitor. And while Fawn may have been her legal name, it wasn’t really her either. She was Cat. She was G’s creation, a Bengal waiting to emerge. Her life was a ticking time bomb waiting for revenge to happen. She was also on the genetic councils most wanted list.

I have totally loved this series from the very beginning. I wait impatiently for each new release. This time, I did something a little different. I decided to get the audible edition and listen while I read along. I can tell you that Brianna Bronte does an awesome job narrating. She has a great range in her voice and excellent skills in expressing the characters. Again I was totally awed by the skills of Ms. Leigh. I can’t wait to read To Wake a Sleeping Tiger.

Wait, wait, enjoy then over.

The problem with series is the time between books. I enjoy the audio books of this series. The histories of each character and the different breeds. It was good to have the winged breeds in a story again too.

Not loved it but liked a lot.
Loved the character Gideon and of course Jonas and the others. Didn't really struggling to finish but the wining vixen was a little annoying. Can't wait to see what's next.. I love the breed series.

Gideon explained. Excellent work Lora Leigh

As an avid Breeds fan, I long awaited the story on Gideon and I was not disappointed. Great storyline with explanations for items not previously explained in the Breeds series. Now I am ready for Cassie mating and then Judd's.

Really a 3.5

This could have been a solid 5, but the whiny heroine almost kept me from finishing it. How may times can she whine about the same things - over and over and over?

Anticipation was worth the wait

Lora Leigh delivers every time. The story was another powerful, intriguing and intricate tale. As she pacified the hunger for knowledge about Gideon she opened another door for his brother. Let's hope she has many more years of inspiring Breed stories.

Worth the wait for his story

Gideon was a truly remarkable kid and an now an adult. He believes he’s a monster but he has always helped others, only killing the council scientist who deserved it, saving those forced. The reason I couldn’t give it 5 stars is because the author changed her mind on the name of Kat’s character. In previous books it was Fawn, then said her real name was Faith with Fawn a nickname, and she became Clare. This book she was Kat with one mention that she used to be Faith/Fawn but was also Clare, then at the end she was Katarina. Come on, and Gideon had two other names. She also said in a previous book she was left gifts on her birthday by Judd & Gideon, knives to fight with & fairies because she was tiny like one, this book it’s still knives but dragons with no explanation why. These types of changes really tick me off. Nonetheless, it was a great story with a mysterious ceremony (a little confusing on what happened to the others), love truly found and a happy reunion. Terrific narration by Brianna Bronte.

Lora Leigh's Breeds:

Absolutely love this book. Can't wait for the next one to come out. But most of all would really love to read Cassie story.

A really fun read.

This was a fun read. I really enjoyed reading it. I even cried! Worth reading!

Want more...

Like all her other previous books they are all awesome can't wait for the next one
