Editorial reviews

The third "New Species" erotic romance by best-selling author Laurann Dohner features plot twists, golden cat-eyes, and enough passion to leave characters and listeners all breathing hard.

Vanessa Chambers gives a reading by turns steamy, suspenseful, and oh-so sexy. Tight plotting and believable characters mesh in a story of love and danger, as a woman finds herself hunted by a predator who, despite being part beast, fulfills her very human desires. He will also devote himself fully to her protection even as enemies of them both threaten.

Publisher's summary

Tammy has always tried to be prepared for any calamity life might send her way but she never imagined a sexy, lion man-beast in her future. He’s huge, got the most exotic, golden cat-eyes she’s ever seen, and she’s so terrified she’s speechless for the first time in her life. He’s stalking closer, growling at her, and she’s too terrified to even flee.

Valiant hates humans. But when he gets a whiff of the adorable human female who has invaded his territory, he starts rethinking. Her fear scents of pure, sweet temptation and the closer he gets, the more appealing she becomes. Once he’s got his hands on her, he isn’t about to let her go. One thought will change his life. MINE!

Before Tammy can regain her senses, she’s flat on her back in Valiant’s bed. Now he just has to use every inch of his big, buff body to convince her that she should stay with him forever.

I love the series......but

I have the same complaint as the cyborg series. I have listened to the first 3 books in the series and its following the same pattern, even all the way down to the short human females (again). Don't get me wrong the series is still good, great plot line, funny characters. I just need more variety. The first 3 books are very similar..... New species huge dangerous male falls for a tiny little fragile human female, the female is captured / attacked by fanatic hate groups and the NSO goes a retrieve the female mates, the end. I think I might die of shock if there was a tall human woman in the series, or mixed breeding or a new point of view of the plot line. I am going to continue with the series, they are entertaining, I hope some new stuff comes along in the series....if not I will be disappointed. I don't want to hear the same story 9 times in a row.

Valliant and Tammy's Love

Any additional comments?

Valiant is one of the New Species living in the Wild Zone of the Reservation. He has more animal features to look at than a lot of the new species and is Human/Lion mix. Tammy works for a catering company and is on the NSO (New Species Organization) site known as the Reserve for a catering job. Tammy walks by mistake into Valiant's yard a mistake leaving her in terror and fear when the huge man-beast starts to growl and threaten her. He hates humans and will do anything to protect his home, that is until he takes a sniff of Tammy and immediately claims her as his. After a lot of tense moments we realize Valian down't intend to kill or harm her but he does intent to mount her and have sex....

I thoroughly enjoyed how Tammy shows just how strong and perfect she is for Valiant. She proves she is capable of taking care of herself and others! Valiant is another sizzling Hot and Sexy action packed book by Laurann and was perfectly narrated by Vanessa Chambers........

VALIANT - HEAR WHAT MAKES HIM PURRR AND ROAR

Valiant's more beast than human and everyone's frightened by him but when he sees Tammy, who has accidentally found herself in the Wild Zone, he can't wait to get his claws (and other body parts) into her.

This addition to the series has all the expected non-stop action courtesy of the Hunters and an evil Doctor, thrills and chills, but the real magic is in the sizzling HOT chemistry between Valiant and Tammy. He becomes a huge growling alpha male over Tammy which brings out his possessive wild and aggressive side but he's a sweetie with "his Tammy" and she sees his loving, caring, vulnerable side. Thankfully Tammy is a spunky, fun, strong-willed, understanding mate and she knows just how to calm her beast - lots of sex.

There's plenty of hhhot scenes, the usual characters and some new additions which all add to the enjoyment of these exciting stories because you just can't help falling a little bit in love with each of them.

Worth a credit? Well, I've already downloaded every one available from Audible so, of course, I'm going to say a big fat yummy YES and there should be cuddly toys made for each of them because you just want to give them a great big hug.

Story decent narrator annoying

The valley girl voice of the main character was soooooo annoying she had weird inflection at totally inappropriate times sounded way too casual. She is almost raped and sounds like maybe she chipped her nail polish. Very annoying

Over too much sex but love the rest lol

I like the storyline i just wish the sex was toned down as in i don't want the entire book be about them having sex im interested on knowing more about the struggle of moving on with their new lives n stuff like that.

absolutely loved

Every time I say the previous book was my favorite, I read the next and repeat that all over again. I'm curious why all your female leads need to have Blue eyes. The perceived thought of what's beautiful. That's disappointing!
