Publisher's summary

The Beast....
Rumor said the powerful Nicolai DeMarco could command the heavens, that the beasts below did his bidding... and that he was doomed to destroy the woman he took as wife. It was whispered he was not wholly human - as untamed as his tawny mane and slashing amber eyes.

The Beauty....
Impoverished aristocrat Isabella Vernaducci would defy death itself to rescue her imprisoned brother. She’d even brave the haunted, accursed lair of the lion - the menacing palace of legendary, lethal Don Nicolai DeMarco.

The Bargain....
Then Isabella met a man whose growl was velvet, purring heat, whose eyes held dark, all-consuming desire. And when the don commanded her to become his bride, she went willingly into his muscled arms, praying she’d save his tortured soul... not sacrifice her life.

it's like my favorite fairy tale

this story really reminds me of Beauty and the Beast I'm so happy I listen to it

Great read.

This is one of my most favorite books ever. I have re-read this book multiple times. Now I can listen to it also.

predictable

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

It was ok, but not as exciting as many of her other works. Seemed to drag on and on at times. I knew pretty much what was going to happen the entire time.

Would you be willing to try another book from Christine Feehan? Why or why not?

absolutely. Some of my favorite books are written by Feehan.

Which scene was your favorite?

none stand out, really. I guess the climax when they find out that there was more than one "beast". The way the women were portrayed... I think the thing I liked most was the older female was loved by her husband, even though she was a bit insecure about them.

Was Lair of the Lion worth the listening time?

It was just "okay"

Any additional comments?

not my favorite, but still pleasurable enough.

Ok

Have you listened to any of Abby Craden’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I would have to say the whole story line is just to good to pick one particularly

Any additional comments?

The Auther the story teller are the best

Different characters from her other books

I liked being surprised I didn’t feel like I knew what was going to happen

I LOVE feehan's books, but this is my favorite!

Amazing characters, fantastic story line and perfect ending! It's not often that a novel leaves you completely satisfied, but this one did! a re-read for sure.

The reader was so bad that I could not keep track

What did you like best about Lair of the Lion? What did you like least?

I can't say what I liked best or least about this book. The reader was so bad that I could not keep track of what was going on. The sex was good, but the reader read everything like a moment of tension witch made it hard to understand and keep up with the story.

Would you be willing to try another one of Abby Craden’s performances?

NO defiantly not, she tries to hard. Everything... is... said.... with... breathless... anticipation.

Good Story, Lousy Narration

This might be a really good story, but Abby Ctaden kept putting me to sleep. She needs to read for a collection of children's bedtime stories. That would be her true calling.

Fantastic book

This is one of my most favorite books. Christine Feehan has created a fantastic story with thrilling adventure, suspenseful intrigue and mystery wrapped with passion and love. Abby Craven transported us into the story by her spectacular narration, giving each character their own unique voice and personality. I very highly recommend this book.
