Dawn's Awakening

This is one of Lora Leigh's best yet. I had hoped Dawn's story would be worth the wait and it didn't disappoint. Once I got started, I couldn't stop till it was over.
It is a story of survival, hope and faith. This is a deeply moving story of horrible child abuse and the emotional scars that come with it. It tells of the effect it has on her family, friends and ultimately the man that loves her. Dawn's story will break your heart, then make you rejoice with her when she overcomes her devasting past and finds happiness.

Of all the books in the Breed series, I think this might be my favorite.

I really expected more from Dawn's story. It may be the weakest link in the whole series after Bengal's Heart, maybe followed closely by Lion's Heat. I think new readers may find it more interesting, but not those who follow the series.

No, but when a good writer throws such a bad bone to readers, it is a real shame.

Ms. Bronte must work on her characterization. She very nearly put me off Jonas and Cabal, and her Dawn and Cassa sound exactly the same.

It was not the characters so much as the unnecessary melodrama. Drama is fine, but melodrama - not so much. I think Ms Leigh ran out of good angles with this series, and if so, she should respect her own work enough to let it go.

I hadn't expected the story to drag so much, as Ms Leigh is in general capable of much better fiction than this. A shame she failed to deliver with the some of the most memorable characters - Dawn, Cabal and Jonas.

Maybe. I don't make very many recommendations, because books are a personal choice with specific likes and dislikes.

Where Dawn found out that her mate was getting married to another.

I enjoyed and could understand the emotional thread that ran through the storyline. I especially could relate to the need to move on with your life when rejected and wanting to keep a distance because you've gotten past something and you don't want to fall back to where you once were. I love when books bring out feelings in a reader. It makes the story that much more realistic.
