{Release Day Review} Leopard's Run (Leopard People #10) by Christine Feehan (@AuthorCFeehan @BerkleyRomance)

He keeps his emotions on a tight leash, but she can see the desire burning in his eyes...

Timur Amurov has one purpose in life: protect his family at all costs. With lethal skills honed from a violent upbringing, Timur is a leopard shifter who sees any newcomers as possible threats--and the petite blond barista who his sister-in-law, Evangeline, has hired to work in her bakery is definitely hiding something. While Timur still needs to determine if Ashe is an enemy, he does know that she is the only woman whose presence has ever truly calmed the beast roaring inside of him.

Ashe Bronte is well aware she has a type: sexy, gorgeous and dangerous as hell. Despite the fact that Timur is all those things and more, Ashe is in San Antonio for reasons that do not involve getting wild with a ruthless leopard--and she cannot afford to make any mistakes. But Timur has ignited something deep within her, and even though she knows she should keep her distance, every move he makes has her craving a taste...

​Ashe Bronte is on the run.  On the run from the evil that killed her family and is now searching to end hers.
 
She’s finally found refuge working for her friend, Evangeline. But even that will be fleeting if Timur Amurov has his way.

Ashe was a truly stunning woman. It wasn’t just her physical body – and that was gorgeous – it was the way she held herself. The way she looked him straight in the eye.  She couldn’t cover fear, because he was leopard and could smell it, but she didn’t flinch away. She didn’t retreat. She sat very straight and looked at him.  There was no panic, which meant she was thinking all the time.  She held herself carefully, the daughter of survivalists, not giving anything away.

​Timur takes his job as the head of his brother’s security team very seriously and the mysterious new girl behind the counter at the Small Sweet Shoppe is playing havoc with his instincts.  
 
Not only is Ashe a leopard - she’s his long-awaited mate.  Convincing her to stay and give him a chance to prove that he’s as capable of love as he is of murder is going to take time.  But danger is closing in and time is something that they just can’t afford.

Timur was a difficult man.  He would want to boss her. Rule her.  She wasn’t that type of woman – or at least she didn’t think she was.  She liked figuring things out for herself – mostly. She had to admit, she felt safe when Timur was close, and she hadn’t had that luxury in a long while. She couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be him.  To have a mistreated leopard that was out for blood and demanded it day and night. 
​
“Timur.” She whispered his name. Knowing she shouldn’t. Unable to help herself.  She waited until his blue eyes lifted to hers. “You’re not a psychopath, nor are you what your father tried to shape you into. You’re … extraordinary.”

​Leopard’s Run proves yet again that no one weaves a shifter tale quite like Christine Feehan! With all of the classic elements of romance and suspense, she mixes just the right amount of her paranormal magic into the mix to make it an experience that readers will feel in their bones.  
 
Timur and Ashe’s story raises the stakes and the heat to brand new levels. And it will keep you teetering on the edge until the very end…
