Review: Jaguar's Kiss (Lone Pine Pride #1) by Vivi Andrews

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

To get what he wants, he’ll have to rattle her cage…

Lone Pine Pride, Book 1

Lila Fallon, the Lone Pine Pride Alpha’s only daughter, has been betrothed since childhood to marry her father’s chosen successor. The match is designed to maintain peace by shoring up any cracks in pride solidarity.

She’s always known she would do her duty—she just never expected to meet a man who would tempt her to throw it all away.

As a black panther, Santiago Flores couldn’t be a less suitable mate for the Alpha’s purebred lioness daughter. But that doesn’t change the fact that for every one of the five years he’s been with the Lone Pine Pride, he’s been head-over-heels in love with her. And when the Alpha announces that Lila’s indefinite engagement is about to end in a very definite marriage, Santiago is through holding his peace.

From their very first kiss, Santiago rattles Lila’s neatly ordered world. But can a lioness who’s always lived to please everyone else risk everything to please herself?

Warning: This book contains tempting lone-wolf jaguars, lionesses who long for fairy tale endings, arranged marriages, tangled emotions and a pride full of trouble.

My Review:

With her wedding on the horizon, a young lioness will have to choose between duty and her happiness in this captivating shifter romance. While there is no cliffhanger for Lila personally, some aspects of Lila’s dilemma doesn’t get closure, and though it is a little short I found the story to be a quick, entertaining and enjoyable read. The author created a fascinating world and built up lots of suspense for the future books and the captivating characters and I’m sure the closure will come in those books as it addresses other related issues and characters. So I will be looking forward to reading the next novella in the Lone Pine Pride series. Just a side note I would really love to hire Santiago to build me a new home, one similar to his would be awesome.

About Vivi Andrews:

Award-winning paranormal romance author Vivi Andrews was born and raised in Alaska, though she currently lives in Manhattan when she isn't indulging her travel addiction. After graduating from Northwestern University, Vivi tried out a variety of careers—from the movie industry to accounting—but kept coming back to her first two loves, writing and travel. She lived in nine cities (on two continents and one tropical island) while pursuing her dream of writing romance professionally.

In 2009, Vivi won the Romance Writers of America® Golden Heart Award, quit her last day job, and her first two paranormal romance novellas were released by Samhain Publishing, launching the Karmic Consultants and Serengeti Shifter series respectively.

Her books have been selected as Top Picks by Romantic Times Bookreviews and nominated for their Reviewer's Choice Awards, as well as other awards.

When she isn't writing, Vivi enjoys reading, hiking, skiing, and watching every movie ever released, though she is most often found traveling or planning her next trip. Whether at home or on the road, she is always hard at work on her next happily-ever-after.
