By Jane Garrett
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really enjoyed this book-I am a fan of her Dark series, and if you haven't yet read Dark Challenge, you're in for a treat!
This is a new series about a race who turn into leopards, and have formed a society deep in the jungle. Our heroine, Rachael, has fled to the jungle from the city as she is convinced that someone wants her dead, and fakes her own death in order to disappear. She meets Rio, a mysterious man who lives in isolation, unbenownst to her he is also one of the leopard people, and gradually they fall in love. I liked the way that only slowly do we get to hear about Rachael's past, and what has motivated her to flee. There are some pretty steamy sex scenes, as you would expect from Christine FDeehan, and a grand dollop of adventure as the two work against a host of enemies to secure rachel's saftey and happiness with Rio. Well worth a read!

I like Ms Feehan's Carpathian books and I really liked her first in the Ghostwalker series so I thought this first in the Leopard series was going to be good too. Well, I was right: it was an enjoyable read. I thought the characters were interesting, the setting was a bit different because it was a jungle environment and there was a plot (which I saw coming from miles away).
The only problem was that I didn't want to devour the book. Good books make you want to snap at people who interrupt your reading and lash out at anyone who dares disturb you. I read this book lazing on the couch while my bf was watching television. For me, it means this book is not worth raving about, but is merely a good read. I'm not trashing it, it's an in-between book, written by the fabulous Christine Feehan

I've been a big fan of her Dark series, but I have to admit that they were becoming a little repetitive. Wild Rain is set in the rain forest and has excellent characters with believable and likable personalities. It is about the panther race and I believe shows as realistically as possible the kind of life we would expect a panther/person to live. The pace of the book is excellent and Ms Feehan reveals just the right amount of plot at a time. An excellent read which I greatly enjoyed, and eagerly await further novels for the other characters.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Rachael finds herself on the run from an assasin and seeks refuge in the rainforest where she is rescued by Rio, a leopard/ human shape shifter. Both characters have past secrets that they need to deal with and this is the story of their relationship as it develops against a backdrop of intrigue and danger. I'll admit that sometimes Feehan's vocabulary tends to get repetitive but never-the-less this is an excellent read. It isn't thoroughly straight forward, there are some twists and the supporting characters are all likeable- I hope we get to read their stories in the future.

I bought this book this book in the hopes that it would follow along well to the first book in the series, found in the Anthology Fantasy. All I can say is total disappointment. I love the concept, but even after going back and reading this book a second time, just to make sure I wasn't judging it unfairly, I really couldn't believe it made it through the editing process. So many phrases are repeated over and over again (it probably would have shortened the book by 50 pages if taken out), there are random "past" flashes that don't fit into the story, and the most disappointing part of all is the lack of flow. This story is so disjointed it's scary. If you want to know how this story could work SO much better read Fantasy, it's well worth it.

When I saw this book on the Internet it looked really good. However, when I read it, although I enjoyed it, it wasn't as good as it could have been. Some things in the book weren't explained well enough, such as the past lives, and other things seemed too coincidental. There were phrases repeated, though I didn't find that too arduous and the story was good. However, Rachael's (the lead female character) leg wound lasted a bit too long. If it had healed quicker then the book could have been made more exciting and Rachael could have done more then simply lie around on a bed most of the time.
I did enjoy this book, and I'm not trying to say its not worth reading, but it could have done with a little more editing, and that would have made it much better. However, I like the way that Rachael's story comes out in small parts throughout the book, not that there's about a chapter with just her previous life. The characters were strong and well-thought out and overall this was a good book. However, as I have already said, it could have done with some adjustment.
I would recomend this book to romance readers, but I would not put it along side my favourite books which I have re-read a thousand times.

HOT, WET, AND WILD,
sum's up this latest offering by beloved author Christine Feehan. Wild Rain is a passonate, sexy story about the developing romance between two people who feel they are alone in the world. Both harboring secrets that they believe will destroy their new found happiness. So different and yet they find more in common than they ever could have guessed. If you like Ms Feehan's Carpathians your gonna love her Lepoard people series. I honestly thought the idea of the Lepoard people was trite until I read the first story, I was WRONG, they are delightful, captivating, sexy, and her discriptions of the rain forrest and animals show a true understanding of the area and her love of nature. A must read. Thank you Ms Feehan you have done it again.
