Raquel's Mane: CrossBreed Novel Book 1 Kindle Edition

by Kortni Renea (Author), Elizabeth N. Love (Editor), Taria Reed (Photographer) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 69 ratings
Being Beta of the second largest Pride Compound outside of Headquarters was no easy feat. Neither was being the right hand man to the Koning Naissant of the Pride and a member of the Conclave, But for one of the deadliest lion shifters in existence, the responsibility was like breathing.

Diesel Crews was born to be a leader. Leading came to him like second nature. Diesel's intelligence, strength and stealth providing a safe haven for all Pride residing at the Sierra Western Compound. 

Until Diesel discovers a large amount of money missing...

Unable to locate the Pride’s finance manager Thaddeus Williams, Diesel follows up on a lead that has his path intersecting with…
 
Raquel Sinclair is a former accountant who spends her days (and most nights) working and volunteering at Loving Hands Community Center. The same shelter that provided a safe haven for her when she was out on the streets as a tormented kid. Nothing brings Raquel the amount of joy that working with the youth does, but all of that is suddenly in jeopardy. Raquel finds that her financial advisor/ex-boyfriend has suddenly disappeared without a trace, just like her savings.
 
Diesel enlists Raquel’s help to find her ex, only to find that the sexual chemistry between them is unlike anything he has experienced before. A distracting bond. The bond forming between the two is so powerful, it has the power to sever bonds Diesel has had for centuries. 

What ensues is a blazing love affair that breaks all the rules. Rules Diesel enforces on a daily basis with an iron fist, potentially putting both their lives and those of the Pride in danger and jeopardy…

Warning: Sexual situations between adult woman and shifter male (whose original habitat is outdoors).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cross Breeds ROCK!!!!

    There's a new voice in IR Shifter Romance. Ms. Renea put the culture in multicultural and the shift in shifter. She's done for shifters what Twilight did for vampires. She revamped her shifter community and gave it a different feel and texture. Her characters are strong and well developed. The Herione Raquel is sassy and independent and her Beta, Diesel well his name says it all. Hot and Dangerous! The plot had me wanting the next book before I finished this first novel in the Cross Breeds Series. This is not a light snack, it's a five day stay at an all-inclusive resort. You'll get your fill and leave wanting to come back for more. It's a genuine love story interwoven in a shifter culture that's unlike anything I've ever read. The love scenes were plentiful, arousing and downright HOTXXX! By far some of the best sex scenes I've read. Ms. Renea's unique descriptive style of writing is a welcome alternative "Raquel was just like he enjoyed his coffee, 20 ounces with three creams and one sugar." I can't even give an example of one of her erotic love scenes. You might want to throw holy water on your kindle and pray for the author...After you finished reading the love scenes that is. Very Naughty, extremely explicit and so very good. I recommend this novel at 817 pages it's well worth every penny.

    The only reason I couldn't give five stars was because of the grammatical errors. They don't usually bother me, but there were just too many. My first time reading this author's work, and I would read more as this truly was a fantastic book. She just needs to invest in better editing tools.

    (Ohhhh (sigh) the pricking of his barbs!)

    I really enjoyed this novel. LOVED IT! This was a healthy shifter novel over 800 pages. The Characters were well developed and the Plot had me glued to the pages. Raquel is no shrinking violet and Diesel, Praise Jesus that Beta can LAY IT DOWN!!!! This novel had a good love story, with action, mystery and a wealth of secondary characters that had me daydreaming about the next novel. The sex scenes, oh the sex scenes I read all of them twice. Honestly can’t pin point one particular thing I liked more about this novel because there was so much to enjoy. Buy Raquel’s Mane…it’s an erotic winner.

    This book was recommended. It was long and detailed, however I liked the storyline and characters. This book was released in 2015. A lot was left unresolved in book 1 with no signs of a book 2. Which is very disappointing considering that there are at least 3 additional main characters plus the twins that could have there own books. So even though I enjoyed this book I would find it hard to recommend because as a standalone the book is incomplete

    3.0 out of 5 stars BDSM porn badly written
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    When I bought this, I didn't know it was BDSM porn. There is a story there, and the story is well told though badly written.

    The author needs to learn that the first two words of a chapter should have a space between them. The author needs to learn the difference between "apart" and "a part." The author needs to learn the difference between "captor" and "captive." Just to mention a few.

    I recommend the author either buy a good grammar checker or hire a good proof reader as she clearly can't do it herself.

    This is one of the best shifter novels I have ever read! I loved the instant attraction between Diesel and Raquel as they pursue the thief that embezzled money from both of them. Their hot, passionate relationship really sizzles as they grow closer to each other. I can't wait for the next shifter novel from Ms. Kortni Renea.

    I want more of The Crews! This book was everything and more! I'm glad to hear that the author is not done with their story! Although I'm glad the supporting characters will get their story told I'm not quite satisfied with saying goodbye to the couple that made me want to read about the others... I want to continue on the journey of Raquel and Diesels bond... How powerful they are and would become, etc! Love this book!
