Rating: 5 Sweltering Keys
**Disclaimer: A copy of this book was provided to me by the author in exchange for an honest review.
A jaguar shifter with a dark secret, Kyter has spent his entire life running from his demons. When a tragedy takes him back to his pride’s village, he is set on a path of vengeance that will see him collide with the terrible ghosts of his past and a beautiful vision of his future.
Iolanthe deals in finding artefacts for discerning clients, but this time her client is one of the deadliest men in Hell and her mission has the highest stakes imaginable. Failure is not an option when your life is on the line, but things take a dangerous turn when she crosses paths with a handsome and mysterious male on the hunt for the same artefact—a male who declares she is his eternal mate.
Can Iolanthe resist Kyter’s wicked allure and find the artefact before he does? Can Kyter face his demons and win the heart of his fated female? Or will this deadly game of cat and mouse claim both of their lives?
Felicity Heaton has creatively weaved a world of supernatural characters that just keeps me waiting for more! Hunted by a Jaguar is her fourth book in the series where she gives us the back story of the charismatic and dangerous jaguar shifter Kyter who owns Underworld, a nightclub that caters to supernaturals.
Learning more about Kyter's past was enlightening as well as heart wrenching. Having been raised in a pride where he was treated as an outcast because of his mixed blood, Kyter has whole life looking for acceptance. When he returns to his homeland to pay respect to his dead mother, Kyter vows to get revenge on the demon responsible for her death, while also hoping to finally gain the respect of his pride elders.
Iolanthe is a treasure hunter accustomed to working for dangerous people. When her latest job requires her to hunt a unique artefact, she thinks it will be just like any normal job until she senses someone following her. Having fled Hell centuries ago to avoid being placed in an arranged mating, Iolanthe is cunning, dangerous, and use to looking out for herself. She's not interested in being placed under the protective spell of a mate that would treat her as helpless. When Kyter awakens the inner part of her that recognizes her fated mate, will Iolanthe work with Kyter to gain the artefact and walk away, or will she give in to her nature and accept the fated bond?
I won't go into any specific details about the overall arc of the book but I loved loved loved the villains and how they play into the overall storyline. Heaton did an excellent job of melding all the pieces to the puzzle together. I loved Kyter and Iolanthe's sparring and how Kyter was able to use his own childhood pain to see Iolanthe's true needs and allow himself to treat her as his equal. Readers are treated to the awesomeness of Bleu as he shows up with a special tie to one of the main characters. Heaton does a great job a teasing readers to wanna know more about Cavanaugh the snow leopard. If you have loved all the other books in the series, you will definitely love this installment. I'm giving Hunted by the Jaguar 5 Sweltering Keys!
Hunted by a Jaguar – Excerpt
Iolanthe appeared at the edge of the ruins
and couldn’t stop herself from looking back. She couldn’t see the male, but she
could feel him, and she knew he would be coming for her. She cursed him for
wanting what she was after. He couldn’t have it. She needed it. Fernandez
wasn’t the sort of male who changed his mind once he had set it on something.
He wanted the item and she had promised to deliver it, and she meant to keep that
promise.
She stepped forwards to leave but
hesitated, looking back again.
She wasn’t sure what Kyter was, other than
irritating and too handsome for his own good. She had tried several times to
piece together all the clues he had given to her about his breed, but she had
failed to draw a solid conclusion. The evidence was too scattered. She couldn’t
scent or sense it on him either.
He was against her though, and that made
him an enemy.
She turned on her heel to face the ruins.
Moonlight bathed it, turning the crumbling buildings cold pale blue.
He wouldn’t leave the ruins. She knew that
much. He seemed a rather stubborn man.
A rather gorgeous stubborn man.
She couldn’t get his image out of her head,
how he had looked at her with intense golden eyes that shimmered with banked
heat and had held her immobile. Those eyes had spoken to her of desire, setting
her blood alight. She had been too entranced by him before he had poured the
water over his fair, softly spiked hair, and it had run over his sculpted
cheekbones, down the fine slope of his straight nose, and rolled along the
sharp strong line of his jaw. It had been impossible to stop herself from
tracking those beads of moisture over his honed body, watching them as they
darted down the hard square slabs of his pectorals and rippled over the
powerful muscles of his abdomen, marking his golden skin.
Just thinking about it heated her blood and
had her breathing harder, her heart beating quicker.
Iolanthe shoved him out of her mind and
shut down her sudden flush of arousal, mastering herself once more.
She picked out the building where they had
talked.
Her control slipped again.
She didn’t like how she had felt in that
moment when they had been against each other. She rubbed her hands over her
bare arms and swallowed her racing heart. It unsettled her. She hadn’t felt in
control of herself. She had experienced an overwhelming compulsion to drop her
lips to his throat and run her tongue over the slender red line that marked it,
tasting his strong blood. It had an intoxicating scent. He had an intoxicating
scent.
And a seriously powerful physique that had
felt better beneath her hands than she had thought possible.
Iolanthe cleared her throat and pushed that
thought and the images of him pouring water over his sandy hair from her head.
They persisted, replaying again how the drops had trickled down his chest,
curling around his left nipple before skating down the ridges of his stomach,
luring her gaze downwards to the fine trail of fair hair that led down from the
sensual dip of his navel to the waist of his black combats.
A need to follow each rivulet with her
tongue and tease his golden skin had flooded her in that moment, driving her to
cross the room to him, slam his back against the column closest to him, and
obey that urge.
The irritating male had done it on purpose.
His golden eyes had flashed with satisfaction when she had blushed. Egotistical
and disgusting male. He had been playing her. That knowledge should have been
enough to douse any desire she felt for him.
But his reaction to her when she had pinned
him to the ground had felt real. As real as her reaction to him.
The feel of his hard body beneath hers, his
heart hammering against her palm where it pressed into his chest, and his golden
eyes locked with hers, flooded and dark with desire, had triggered an alarming
response within her.
More than just a desire to taste his blood.
She had desired to let her feet slide from
his broad chest, allowing them to land on either side of him, and settle
herself against his body. She had hungered to feel his hands claiming her hips,
drawing her down against the apex of his thighs.
She had burned with a need to kiss him.
Iolanthe spat out a black curse in her
native tongue.
Perhaps he was a sorcerer.
She felt as if he had bewitched her and
hijacked her body, bending it to his will and enslaving her.
She took a step back and then another. She
would give him his victory tonight, but she would return tomorrow and hope that
he had moved on. She didn’t want to meet him again, but she had no choice but
to risk it and return. She had to investigate the area where he had been.
Whether he knew it or not, he had chosen
one of two spots that matched the riddle her demon contact had given her.
The fresco he had been admiring was of
Minerva, Juno and Hercules. Minerva. The ancient Roman goddess of wisdom. She
looked off to her right, towards the darkness that concealed Vesuvius.
Knowledge in the shadow of a volcano.
Perhaps she should have chosen to look in
the most obvious spot first, but the one she had chosen to explore had been one
she had recalled from her visits to this place before the city had been
decimated. The room she had been digging in had another room beneath it. That
chamber had once held a statue of Minerva on a small marble plinth.
She wanted to go back and finish digging,
but just the thought of running into the male again had her backing away from
the site. He was sinfully handsome and strong. She flushed as she recalled the
feel of his hard muscles beneath her fingers and the way he had smiled at her,
his sensual lips lopsided and a wicked twinkle in his eyes.
Iolanthe burned inside, aching to press her
hands to his golden skin again and feel his heart pounding against them, speaking
of his harnessed power.
She took another step back instead and
shook her head. It had been too long since she had been with a man, but she
wasn’t about to sleep with the enemy.
She would return tomorrow night, when the
ruins closed, and in the meantime she would build up her defences against the
male and she would send a prayer to her gods.
A prayer that the male had moved on.
