Book Reviews of The Man Within (Feline Breeds, Book 2)
Book Review: The plot was lacking, and the characters didn't interest me enough to offset the plot problem.
Summary: 2 Stars
This is book 2 in the Feline Breeds series. The Genetics Council used genetic experimentation to create humans with animal DNA, called Breeds. The Breeds were tortured, experimented upon and kept in captivity, but eventually escaped. The Council and other groups are trying to capture and/or kill them.
Roni is human. Taber, a Breed, is part tiger (or other large cat). He has known and helped Roni for years as she grew up in a troubled home environment. When she was 19, they were on the verge of a romantic relationship, when they each received a note from the other saying that they didn't want to be with each other. His note to her said that she was too young and not the kind of woman he needed. Her note to him said she found him too rough, crude and frightening and she wanted someone who treated her softly. They each were hurt and went their separate ways.
CAUTION SPOILERS:
Circumstances bring them together three years later but she continues to be angry because of his letter. This conflict continues for more than half of the book. We then learn that Dayan forged both letters and delivered them to both Roni and Taber, for the purpose of breaking them up. I did not enjoy this conflict at all. A simple phone call (saying I got your letter, goodbye) would have exposed the forgery and avoided the conflict. The conflict was based on inaccurate assumptions, which is one of my pet peeves. Later, when they do get together, they have sex at least twice before they discover that the letters were false. I suppose this was to have anger-based sex scenes, but it didn't work for me.
For her own safety, Roni is staying with Taber and other Breeds. A subplot involves her father trying to kidnap her to turn her over to enemies of the Breeds.
Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: seven, some several pages long. Setting: Sandy Hook, Kentucky and Virginia. Copyright: 2003. Genre: erotic paranormal romance.
