Navarro’s Promise

Synopsis

In the wolf breed novel, NAVARRO’S PROMISE, Mica Toler’s best friend is the wolf/coyote hybrid breed, Cassie Sinclair. And now Mica is being drawn into her world in ways she had prayed she never would be when the charming wolf breed Navarro makes good on the promise he made her on a dark, explosive night.

The Breeds guaranteed that no harm would come to Micah Toler but they never allowed for her sensual fascination with Navarro Blaine. Aloof, cool, and mysterious, he draws her in as no man ever has. But Micah never wanted this. She had her own dreams, her own desires, and being stalked and seduced by a wolf breed wasn’t part of that plan.

Now she knows her life is in danger. What Navarro knows is that she’s his mate and that the breeding and training that created him is being peeled away in his desperation to claim a woman that refuses to be claimed.

He has her body. She craves his touch. And as the breeds converge the past will rise up to haunt Navarro in ways he never expected.

Review

Navarro’s Promise by Lora Leigh is the twenty third book in the Breads series. The first five books were published by Ellora’s Cave and are erotica. I’m not sure that the later books are considered erotica, but they are still very steamy. I started this series with book seven, Megan’s Mark. Even though I’m not a huge fan of erotica, I find myself liking this series. The storyline is in-depth, emotional, the dangers great and the love is epic.

I have to say this was my least favorite of the Breeds series. There was no advancement of the overall Breeds story line. It was not horrible, but it was clearly hurried. I felt that Navarro and Mica's relationship was a bit underdeveloped. The best part of any love story is when the characters are getting to know one another. That entire phase of the story was completely glossed over here, with just the convenient plot device that they've known one another forever. I found Navarro really difficult to embrace. I didn't hate the character but at the same time, I just didn't love him either. Neither Navarro or Mica brought up strong feelings in me as I read though the book.

EDITING!!! Her books always contain faults in editing. This time I had to reread so many parts because I felt like I missed something. Once we got to the ending I am not exactly even sure what happened. The locations started changing and I had no idea how we got from place A to place B. It was like part of the story was missing.

I gave this book a 2 out of 5
