Frequent.- "Author's Note: All of my books can be read independently, but characters from previous books make appearances in later books in each series."- Picks up around 7 months after "Serengeti Heat".- Note there is a free pdf available on the author's website "A Serengeti Christmas". It fits as Book 1.5.- Includes excerpts fromIn Plain Sightby Marie Harte andPrimal Hungerby Sydney Somers.Opinion:What a great book. Strong kickass lioness who knows what she wants and an Alpha lion who knows what she needs. Clever, interesting, different. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hot, aggressive sex between equals, a moving, emotional story, a good, realistic HEA. And, once more, the fact that they are lions is *important*.But will *you* like this? Now there's a question. I've seen authors try and do this before and it rarely works. Our heroine is Not Nice. She sleeps around, bullies anyone deemed "weaker"- she comes off as Easy and a B**. My goodness, you really want someone to slap some sense into her. She's the epitome of the Bad Girl - the one who makes the Sweet Heroine look nice, show her backbone as she stands up to her, and allow The Nice One to win against the Mean Girl. Shana is not supposed to win. She's supposed to be run off. But instead, she's the heroine. And wow does Andrews pull it off. Loved it. Highly recommended."A Serengeti Christmas":A 10 page pdf available from the author's website. A short erotic tale set shortly before Landon became Alpha - Caleb and Shana have a very merry Christmas. It's a little teaser showing the heat that fires between the two, Shana's ill-gotten reputation, and the distrust that follows.-CR-
