The Leopard King

By: Ann Aguirre

Narrated by: Wilhelmina Grace

Proud. Imperious. Impassioned. Until three years ago, those words applied to Dominic Asher, the leader of Ash Valley. His family has ruled the feline branch of the Animari for hundreds of years, guiding the pride through perilous times. Unspeakable loss drove him into seclusion, a feral beast nobody can tame. Now he's wrecked, a leopard king in exile, and he wants nothing more than to die.

Fierce. Loyal. Determined. Fortunately for Dom, those words still apply to Pru Bristow, his dead mate's best friend. She's had her heart broken, too, but she never quits. With the conclave approaching, alliances with the Pine Ridge pack and Burnt Amber clans on the verge of collapse, she's prepared to do whatever it takes to drag their leader back, before his second can start a war.

At best theirs seems like a desperate alliance, but when their mate bond turns hot and fierce, there's no end to the questions and the doubts. Neither of them expects to fall in love. But sometimes people don't know what they're looking for until they find it.

This is great.

A good story a good with great as t characters and plenty of unfinished stories th as t lead to folloup books thanks

good story

the narration is good but her male voice are rough. the story is well written, a few holes where the story seemed to jump around but overall I'm pleased

Rushed but interesting

I felt the story was rushed along. I did enjoy the story a lot. There is some heat and very sexy parts, but this is more story than heat. The narration is not great. It is good though. The voice didn’t aggravate me like squeaky narration in other books. The overall experience isn’t out of this world. It is just plain old good. So ..... I give a three Right in the middle.

The natural bonds formed through the years

It was something I was not expecting. I have been tired of wasting time on shifter PRN that are continuously repetitive. This one however, focuses on bonds through friendships and alliances. Although the coworker who recommended it was more into the “romance” part. Really not what I expected. And it seems to be the same though for the books read from this author. Every single one thus far, has been beyond my expectations. As for the narration, it is beyond words. Between author and narrator I’m sucked into the story. Hard to focus on work or anything. It made me want to not stop.

3.5 stars

This was an unexpected story that I ended up really enjoying. A story about two people dealing with loss and grief and growing pains always grips me so I wasn’t mad at this one for delivering in that way. But I was kinda bummed at some of the pacing, I wanted more angst and I wanted more yearning. The fact that these guys grew to care was amazing but I didn’t want it to happen to quick and I feel like we didn’t get to see as much growth between them as I wanted. Though they were both good people and good leaders and ultimately I do wanna continue on in the series.
