*What Selinda Thought*I'll start with a minor confession...I'm totally a Team Wolf gal. I do love and adore me some hunky furballs and BREEDING CYCLE did not fail to impress. This was my second time reading this wonderful story, and I loved it even more this time! In this naughty tale we are introduced to the Katagan Pack and the Royalty of their world.  Young Princess Sarina is literally living inside a guilded cage.  She's been kept...groomed, managed and hidden away to suit her fathers whims and wishes. Sure she has everything she can want, everything except a choice.  The authors descriptions of the "leash" around her life were spot on. It left me suffocating and enraged. Still Sarina carries herself with pride and misplaced loyalty.  In enters Vane Katagan; alpha of the Katagan Pack. Strong, dominant and fiercely annoyed at being unable to find a suitable mate; someone both he and his beast can agree on. A woman, a queen for both he and his pack.Sarina is sent away to suffer through her "breeding cycle" alone, no comfort, no support when she's found by Vane. That's when things really get GOOD! A female's cycle draws all males; human and lycan alike to her and Vane is not immune. Except it's so much more than that. He and his beast are for once in total agreement that this woman is theirs...no matter what. A vow to soothe her while keeping her "pure" leads to seriously hot and seriously wicked behavior. Tall, dark and wolfy Vane is every wet dream you never knew you had, while Sarina isn't as quiet and demure as you would imagine a Princess to be. The lust, the heat and yes, even the love that pours off the page between these two completely scorched me. A few days to break down her walls, a few days of claiming every inch of her body every inch of her heart is all our hero has.  A few days before the King returns to claim his "property".With as much heat and wickedly sexy fun found in this book you'd think it was all good, but NO. With a tyrant for a father and a sexual deviant for a forced fiancé, there's plenty of action and plot to the story. Although it's a short read, the characters are fleshed out well and we are left with enough intrigue to have you running to the next installment. I loved this story...I really did. Yes, it was a fun and sexy story but it was also very well written and raw. It struck a chord with me as a woman and a mother. Are we so separate from animals? Are those we create property...possessions? How far are you willing to go to love someone, to be loved by someone?I know...I know, why so serious and heavy? Honestly I'm not, it's just that if you are going to invest your time in a book it should touch you somehow, someway. I was touched by the sincere feelings both good and bad of the characters in this book. It's the first in the series and believe me when I say; it continues to get better...hotter and always maintains a great sense of humor.
