7 Lovely Things about Lair of the Lion by Christine Feehan
(May contain Spoilers)
1. Isabella
Isabella Vernaducci is such a lovable heroine. She is headstrong, courageous, sassy, resourceful, and never afraid to speak her mind. Isabella’s love of life is contagious and a great balance to Nicolai’s doom-and-gloom outlook.
2. Nicolai
While Nicolai is rather bleak, grumpy, and rageful at times, he is so gentle with Isabella and wants nothing more than to protect her. He takes the time to listen to her and consider her feelings even when he doesn’t agree with her. More gentleman than a beast.
3. Lions
Nicolai can commune and direct lions to do his bidding, totally awesome! He also shapeshifts into one.
4. The Writing
Christine Feehan has a pleasant writing style. The story moves at a good pace, she provides enough description for the reader to understand the scenery without wasting time being overly descriptive. Characters were relatable and the chemistry between Nicolai and Isabella was spot on!
5. Family
One of my favorite things about all the characters, especially Isabella, was their fierce loyalty to family. Isabella would have happily given her life in place of her brother’s.
6. Passion
The romance between Nicolai and Isabella is super sizzling hot with lots of passion!
7. Happily Ever After
Thankfully, Lair of the Lion ends happily. I was getting a bit nervous because it isn’t till like the last page before everything gets resolved. Isabella and Nicolai get their much deserved happily ever after!
