About this audiobook

    Cabel and Cassa's story was super hot but not at all what I was expecting. Still enjoyable and a great addition to the series. I am enjoying the new story arc.

    I had real big problems with this paticular Breed; I didn't like how he treated Cassa, I didn't like how he behaved himself around her, I didn't like how he thought he could just impose his will on to her and that everything was going to be fine for them. The atonement in the end was a nice enough touch, but what made this book readable was how Cassa portreyed herself and how she always held her head up high. Incredible character.

    I've been hankering for Cabal's story ever since Tanner's Scheme. Larger than life, he became one of those characters everyone waits anxiously for- which can be a boon for an author...or set them up for failure.Unfortunately, this one falls in the latter category for Lora Leigh.Bengal's Heart by Lora LeighYears ago Cassa Hawkins played an integral part of the rescue of Cabal St. Laurent from the compound he was being held captive in. Because of a heinous betrayal by the man she thought was her husband- no other Breed survived the bloody rescue and Cabal can never forgive her for it.Years later, Cassa has become a famous investigative reporter fighting for Breed rights- still trying to make up for her husband's betrayal. When she receives a tip about some killings apparently done by a rogue breed she rushes in to get to the bottom of the story, only to be headed off by the one Breed who holds her heart.Cabal knows Cassa is his mate- has known it for some time- but he's run from that fact ever since her husband's evil deeds led to the bloody massacre of his family back in the genetic's council compound he was created in. A rare breed, created by splicing the genes of humans with a Bengal tiger his skills as a covert Breed spy has kept him on the path of danger since his rescue. When Cassa begins meddling in his latest mission, he knows it's time to face the one woman he's fated to be with forever. But can he trust her with his love when she was at the center of so much of heartache in the past?A bit of a disappointment, as she's done with some of her other series, Lora Leigh once again "phones it in" with Bengal's Heart- at least in the way of character development. Usual fare for Leigh's Breed series- too much fighting what they both know to be "fated"- however the side issues brought the book up from being something I would have felt otherwise "blah" about.Leigh reveals more about the Breed world and gave us some answers involving some of the most intriguing characters in the series, leaving us with a tantalizing teaser for the Jonas Wyatt's story- the next full length novel up in the series. Jonas has become the "Acheron" (See Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Series) for many of those following this series so it's going to be a biggie- however, as many of us who have been around the genre for awhile have seen- a much anticipated story like Jonas's can only lead to disappoint I'm afraid- especially considering the quality of Bengal's Heart.Still, with it's development of the Breed world and the rogue breed plot, I raced through this book quicker than a recent popular paranormal romance I read.

    I enjoy the drama of these books so much. Cabal's mate is up to her eyeballs in the current drama the Breeds are trying to contain. Another Breed keeping secrets from his mate though, and I don't know why but it annoys me so much. It was action packed, I liked seeing some of the other Breeds we've come to meet like Dog and Brim, and I was intrigued by the introduction to the primal phenomenon.

    This is the first book I have read by this author and I know that it is well into the series, although I did not feel lost in any part of the story. It was well written for a romance and had enough action for my Uf loving side. I found it an enjoyable escape book, filled with romance and intrigue. The two main characters were lusty/sexy and a bit unbelievable at times. The fact that she had known for so many years that she was his mate and being a strong reporter did nothing with that ?!?! That was the only mayor flaw for me. I got over it and really enjoyed the book. I want to read more in this series, I need to know more about the Primal....

    Some rather disruptive continuity errors throughout, and inconsistent discussion of spousal abuse. The bad guys in this series are a bit too bad, and it's getting a little old having a "spy" in every book. For some reason it just bugged me more this time, maybe because I've been working my way through the series pretty quickly now. Perhaps a break from the series will make the next one seem a bit more fresh when I get around to it again.

    Cassa Hawkins has always been supportive of breeds and their rights, and being a journalist has always tried to put them in the positive light as much as possible. However the breed's have never made it easy for her, and for years she has resisted Cabal, who if he decided to claim her she would be his mate. Having to suffer with the hormone treatments to regulate the symptoms of the heat, the past several years haven't been easy on her especially when seeing him with countless women. So when Cabal decides to claim her as his mate now, Cassa resists because she doesn't want to be part of a 'harem' of women, only now not only is their danger to her heart there is also danger circling around her when their lives are threatened, and they must work together if they want to get to the bottom of what is really going on...Bengal's Heart is the 19th in the Breeds series. There are some books in this series that I have like more or less than others, but I truly enjoyed reading Bengal's Heart. There was a lot of steamy scenes that could singe your eyebrows if you're not careful, however there was also focus on the romantic relationship between Cabal and Cassa which I enjoyed even more. The interaction between these two could be intense but also make a reader laugh. I loved the humor in this story that the author portrayed, and I loved the plot, never a dull moment would sum it up pretty nicely. One of my other favorite aspects to the book was that there was a mystery to be solved, and I have always had a weakness for a good mystery, so there were multiple reasons that I enjoyed Bengals Heart. Overall an enjoyable read, with exciting scenes and deep connection between the characters and a few steamy scenes makes for a Amazing Romance that only Lora Leigh can produce.

    I don't why I continue to think this is Mercury's story. Anyway this is Cabal's atory and his mate is Cassa, the reporter that is always doing stories on the Breeds. There a lot of things revealed in this story, like the Primals. The primals are the Breeds that have more of the animal in them than the regular Breeds. For example Cabal when enraged gets stripes all over his body and his hands have actual claws not just hard nails like the rest of the Breeds. We find out that Jonas is a Primal no big surprise there. We also find out that some of Cabal's pride survived.In many ways this is a very sad story. Mainly because it involves a massacre of a Pride of Lion Breeds that was carried out almost twenty-two years ago on Valentine's Day. There is so much betrayal brought to light throughout the story not just for this Pride but from Cassa's despicable ex-husband. I am really glad that Jonas left him alive to suffer for the crimes that he committed. Douglas Watts was a poor excuse for a human male and deserved much more than he received.As for Patrick "Azreal" Wallace I am such he is more than a marked Breed now. All this killing and kidnapping a Breed mate I am sure Jonas will be after him like white on rice. It will be interesting to see where this goes. I would hope that the child is rescued and that he has been treated well. Ms. Leigh has always done a very good job of making the Breeds likable and exciting. You feel for their plight and only want what is best for them and their families. You want for them to be free and to enjoy all the things that they were denied for so long.Finally I want my own Primal Bengal Breed. I love tigers as a whole and to have a Breed that actually had stripes and purred and got all tigery would have me panting for all his attention. This is one of my favorite of the Breed stories and I would definitely recommend the series to any that want to walk on the wild side for just a little while.

    One of the worst in the series, in that the story doesn't remotely hang together with other versions of the story and the character conflicts don't make sense at all. However it's nice that the female character actually has a real profession and seems, you know, like she's invested in it. Writing was phoned in.
