Summary
Siena Arnotto, is a young woman that was raised by her grandfather. Recently she has been starting to feel different. Her grandfather's right-hand man has been making her nervous even though she has known him since she was a teenager. Her grandfather asks her to send a friend of his a birthday gift of wine. When she arrives, it's Elijah Lospostos, a man she has always had a crush on. Upon her arrival into his home, heat succumbs them and they have passionate sex on his foyer floor. Suddenly an enemy arrives and attempts to kill Elijah and Elijah blames Siena in taking part of it and pushes her out the door. Shocked and uncertain, Siena returns home. Only to come home to be abused by her grandfather's right-hand man...the man her grandfather is trying to push her into marrying. Then her grandfather is murdered and she believes she knows who is at fault. So she flees in search of someone to protect her and runs into Elijah again. Only to find herself embracing her wild side of the leopard that has always been a part of her. She is attacked and practically mauled and Elijah steps in and saves the day. There are mixed emotions on both sides....but with Elijah and Siena living under the same room; neither of them can deny what they are feeling for each other.
The Hero
Elijah Lospostos didn't have the easiest of childhood. He was raised by a mob family....was taught how to handle a knife when he was a child and knew how to break a neck and kill someone at a young age. He was forced to do despicable things. He got out as soon as he could and formed an alliance with his friends and formed his elite business. Elijah is a hard man, he was shaped by the worst of the worst....but at the heart has still managed to become a loyal and honorable man. Elijah makes mistakes and his largest one is when it comes to Siena Arnotto. He has always held an attraction to Siena and is driven to claim her. Elijah was a hero that if you love Alpha Males....then you will fall madly in lust with him. He is dominating, controlling, possessive and jealous.
“Believe me, baby, you belong to me. I don’t give up what’s mine.”

He is stubborn but driven and determined. I really loved seeing his bond with his friends---Drake, Rafe, Joshua.
The Heroine
Siena Arnotto lost her parents and ended up being raised by her grandfather. She knows that she is loved by her grandfather, but was sent away to boarding school and hasn't seen much of his business. But now she has returned to live with him, and there are certain aspects that make her nervous and unsure. Her grandfather's right-hand man, Paolo, makes her nervous with his sexual sneers and looks that practically undress her. She can't stand to be around him and her grandfather expects her to marry him. But when the worst happens, and her grandfather is murdered...she is being hunted and her only salvation is her teenage crush Elijah Lospostos. Siena was a heroine that I liked reading for the most part but not completely. She is very sweet and nurturing, but she was a fighter at times. My only problem with her is I felt like she should have stood up to Elijah more. It quite didn't quite fit with who she is in the beginning and then how she is toward the end. I would have liked to see more backbone when it came to Elijah. What I loved about her was her sense of humor and her carefree and playfulness.
Plot and Story Line
Wild Cat is the latest addition to the Leopard People series. I will admit that even though I liked this one, it had the same tone that the previous book had. I will say that the first few books of the series are still my favorite. But I did enjoy reading this one way more than Cat's Lair but I will warn you that it has a more erotic feel to it than an actual romance which is the theme for the whole series. They are probably the most erotic books this author has ever written. And even though this aspect has bothered me a bit....there is still some great aspects to this book that I enjoyed.

In Wild Cat, we have Elijah's story....Elijah is a character we have seen in most of the books of the series so it was great to finally have his book. Although I will say that Joshua is the one character I am most looking forward to. What was really most thrilling about this story, was seeing the suspense side of things. We have our villain "Paolo" who is one scary dude. Like honestly he should be shredded into tiny pieces. He was one horrible character, and even though he makes a great villain I would never want him to be real. He is one evil man and it is heartbreaking with what he does to Siena. She is one tough cookie though when it comes to him. She stands up to Paolo even when she knows it may cost her dearly.

The friendship between the friends especially Drake and Rafe is pretty sweet and we see them and their wives into the story. It was fabulous to see their bond to each other and get a revisit with these couples and their children. My favorite is Drake and Emma and their interactions with each other and the group of friends. It was quite fun to see Joshua (who we see quite a bit of in Savage Nature) and I am hoping we see more of him in future books.

The romance between these two is blazing hot but is mixed in with some sweet and poignant moments. Moments of heartbreak, forgiveness and true emotion.
I live in Hell, Siena. That's my world and I have no fucking right to drag you down with me, but I can't stop myself. You're the one thing in my life that's worth anything. I can't let go of you, no matter how much I know I should. I'm not that strong. You are innocent and beautiful. Your body is. Your mind is. Your heart and soul. You gave yourself to me, Siena. You chose me and I'm going to do everything in my power, with everything that I am, to protect you. To cherish you.

A passionate adventure to savor!!
The Cover
I really like the leopard effect that it shows on here. It unique and different and even though I am not a fan of the model since in the book she CAN't have straight hair...its long and full of waves. But I love any cover with felines in it especially those gorgeous big cats.
Overall View
Wild Cat is a sensually woven romance that will keep the blood pumping in suspense, your heart rate up with the sexual tension and will give you thrills and chills down the spine in every moment in between!! SIZZLING AND ACTION PACKED!! ( )

Hot an heavy, Siena unwittingly is the instrument of her grandfather's assassinations. Elijah is a complete jerk and treats Siena cruelly, believing she tried to frame him. Sienna comes across as weak, insecure and whiney. She gets better but not until almost 50% into the book. Elijah isn't very likeable either. As with Sienna he gets better but disliking these two made it a struggle to finish the book.
( )

Let's talk about the ending. WTF? It feels so unfinished. Don't we get the happy ending with the babies? So much is left up in the air. It's like the author just suddenly decided she was done and didn't bother to wrap anything up.

The book was very repetitive and the main character, Elijah, was a total jerk. WAAAY to dominant, and didn't want to compromise at all with his mate Siena. He never wanted to listen to her point of view. And the fact that she forgives him for so much, all because the sex is amazing. Gag me!

My least favorite of the series. ( )

Wild Cat

The Characters:

Elijah Lospostos
Siena Arnotto

The Story:

I tried. I tried so hard but when I thought about it I’ve been “reading” this book since September. It is now November and I am only 50% through the book. Now part of this is because I’m reading a library book and I had to wait a couple of weeks to get it back because it was on hold. However the bigger issue is that I’m constantly being bored by this book. The plot is a good one but it’s taking forever to get to the good stuff. Endless repetition, gratuitous sex scenes keep holding up progress. I want to know Elijah’s story but I just can not at this time. Maybe one day my library will have the audiobook and I’ll have the patience to listen to it but otherwise I am officially giving up. :-(

The Random Thoughts:

***DNF so no rating

Okay, she's 24 but oh my, so over-protected. I'm also kind of over the whole "alpha male", do as I say and suck my dick when I tell you to. Sure she tries to make it seem like the girl isn't a total submissive, but I may just be getting old and done with it. It almost seems like a "rape" book without it being that subject. I'm not a prude, but skipped almost all the sex scenes because it just didn't do anything for me. ( )
