I was looking forward to this third story in the 'Leopard's Spots' series by Bailey Bradford because I was very curious to see what kind of differences there would be in mating a shifter of your own kind. The other two stories involved a snow leopard with either a cougar or a wolf, but here, Tim is traveling to Mongolia to work for a conservatory and he meets other snow leopards, one of whom is his mate. I was also intrigued about getting more background on Tim's family that was slaughtered there so long ago. I was thinking this would be another fun, sexy read and I wasn't disappointed.Tim is the scholarly member of the Colorado snow leopard clan, cousin to Levi and Oscar, and he's come to Mongolia to spend twelve weeks working for the Snow Leopard Conservation Programme in hopes of getting more information about the animal, itself, but also hoping he can get some answers about shifters and his family, too. It comes as a shock that the doctor who started the program and whom Tim is working with, is mated to a snow leopard shifter. The bigger shock, however, is that his son, Otto, is Tim's mate.Otto has spent his life tracking poachers and bringing them to justice for their crimes against the leopards. Otto has always wanted to find his mate, to find the love his parents have. He just never dreamed it was possible since he is gay. Now that he's found Tim, though, a poacher out to harm Otto has put both of them in a dangerously precarious position. Getting out alive while still bringing justice down on their quarry is their main priority.This has actually been my favorite of the books in the series that I have read. The writing was more concise, the plot was detailed without going overboard, and the characters had a lot of depth. Plus, Tim and Otto definitely had the hottest, most intense and very visceral scenes that left me practically needing a cold shower. Whew. Definitely a book I would re-read and recommend.NOTE: This book was provided by Total-E-Bound for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
