Proud. Imperious. Impassioned.

Until three years ago, those words applied to Dominic Asher, the leader of Ash Valley. His family has ruled the feline branch of the Animari for hundreds of years, guiding the pride through perilous times. Unspeakable loss drove him into seclusion, a feral beast nobody can tame. Now he's wrecked, a leopard king in exile, and he wants nothing more than to die.

Fierce. Loyal. Determined.

Fortunately for Dom, those words still apply to Pru Bristow, his dead mate's best friend. She's had her heart broken too, but she never quits. With the conclave approaching, alliances with the Pine Ridge pack and Burnt Amber clans on the verge of collapse, she's prepared to do whatever it takes to drag their leader back, before his second can start a war.

At best theirs seems like a desperate alliance, but when their mate bond turns hot and fierce, there's no end to the questions and the doubts. Neither of them expects to fall in love. But sometimes people don't know what they're looking for until they find it.

Tries to take itself too seriously and fails miserably

Let's be honest here. No one reads a book called "The Lepard King" expecting top tier quality. You go for it because you want a hot trash romance to distract yourself and have a good time, and maybe some laughs. However, this book is not quite it. Instead of embracing the trashiness and making the best of it, the book tries to take itself seriously, and that's when things fail miserably. The author tried to write a new world, a new society and mix it with some fantasy. But honestly, it is terribly written, the characters have no development, there's no introduction to the world, and most of the events simply happen without much building up. I'm sorry, but that's the reality.
Anyway, I still had some fun, and I appreciate the author trying, but it doesn't work.
