Lucas (3.5 stars):I have such a thing for alpha males that when the review request for this book cameup, I jumped at the chance.Lucas and Kira's story is very interesting, intriguing and fun to nerve recking. They have similar origins but have so many secrets to hide from each other that it takes a long time for them to realize they are on the same side.Lucas is a shifter and has been captured by people who want him to shift right in front of them. Kira is psychic and has been having visions of her mate, Lucas, while he is in danger.She rushes off and saves him, but he doesn't trust her at first and thinks she is just one of the bad guys trying to get him to put down his guard.I really enjoyed the ups and downs of both of them and seeing them falling for each other. The sex scenes are really hot and Lucas has such a kinky side that its easy to get all hot and bothered reading it.The only thing that bothered me in the book was a certain lack of back story. I mean, we get to sort of understand about the clans Kira and Lucas come from and a bit about their rules, but in my opinion a lot was left out and it was enough to leave me confused for a while. I get the need to keep a certain mystery, but it felt as if I was supposed to know some of it and I didn't.Other than that, Lucas was definitely a fun read. I recommend it for any fans of paranormal smut out there and I am happy to know that there will be more books in this series, Im definitely looking forward to them =)Kane (4 stars):After reading "Lucas" a while back, I was really looking forward to "Kane", specially because Kane's HEA was supposed to be with one of the villains from "Lucas"I loved the idea of the leading lady in this book being the bad guy in the one before. It was great finding out why Lara was so bent on killing the bothers and I have to say her story was very compelling and I couldn't help but understand her plea.Kane is a black cougar, which means that he is the assassin of the cougar clan. His latest job has been hunting the woman that tried to kill his brother and his mate, but what he can't understand is why his blood boils when he is close to her.Lara hell-bent on getting revenge on the people that killed her mother and nothing is getting her way, well, that is until she and Kane get together and the chemistry gets too be too much to be denied.I liked this book so much better than Lucas, one of the things that bothered me in the previous book was a certain lack of more explanation on how things worked in the cougar clan and better overview of the world Eliza Gayle created in general.In Kane we get to understand how things work in this world much better and I have to say that there is a lot of potential for great plots. The idea of a council that is set in its ways and of community members that start to question the status quo, is always interesting.I loved Kane and Lara together, they are perfect for each other and their chemistry was definitely sizzling. Their story was very well told and just in the right pace, seeing them change from enemies to mates was simply awesome!Kane just got me more excited about this series and I can't wait for the next and I believe last installment on the series coming out in June, Malcom. The only thing that bothered me in kane was that i wish it was a longer novel, i wanted more.Originally Posted at Welcome to Larissa's Bookish Life {larissaslife DOT com}
