**Tanner's Scheme is my Recommended Read for July 2007**
For years, he has watched her. Waited for his opportunity. When it finally comes, Tanner wastes no time confronting his enemy Scheme, daughter of General Tallent, a man who has committed numerous atrocities against the Breeds race. And Scheme was a party to at least some of them. Her signature is on kill orders; there is no question of her guilt. The time has come for her to pay for her crimes, and Tanner is determined she will do so at his hands.
Yet when he is faced with this duplicitous, beautiful woman, nothing adds up. His eyes and ears tell him one thing, but her scent tells a different story. And scents never lie - not to a Bengal Breed, whose olfactory senses are more highly developed than any other Breed. When General Tallent's pet assassin attempts a hit on Scheme, Tanner knows there is more to the story than meets the eye. And he is determined to uncover every last one of Scheme's secrets, no matter what he has to do to get them.
But his plans start to backfire when he realizes Scheme is much more than she seems, and every instinct in him screams to protect her from all threats. But the only way to protect her from her father is by granting her asylum in the Breed community and the only way to save her from Breed Law is if he can mate her!
I read my first Lora Leigh novel in April of 2006 and was an immediate fan of this author's works. Within a few months, I had devoured every book of hers I was able to get my greedy little book-loving hands on. Although she has many different series, all of which I love, the Breeds saga quickly emerged as one of my top favorites from Leigh. And the Breed whose story I have been hungering for the most was Tanner Reynolds.
From the first moment he appeared in the Breeds series, I was captivated by him. His wit, his charm - both served to endear him to me immediately. And later, when we began to hear rumors about him and his twin, Cabal, in other stories, I fell for him more and more. As high as my expectations were for Tanner's Scheme, Lora Leigh surpassed them all! Having set him up as the playboy of the Breed race, she then proceeds to peel away the superficial layers to show us the real Tanner beneath the playboy - the dark, serious Tanner who ably lives up to his legacy as a Bengal Tiger Breed. Yes, Tanner is still playful, but we learn that playfulness hides a predator worthy of his genetics. We see that in spite of his numerous sexual exploits, for the past ten years he has been inexplicably drawn to the one woman he shouldn't want. That desire has twisted him up inside, eaten away at his heart and his soul, knowing that Scheme daughter to one of the Breeds' greatest enemies, and as well as foe in her own right.
Scheme is the perfect foil-er, MATE to Tanner. Her sacrifices on behalf of the Breed community, a race that knows nothing of her work to save their kind and despises her unanimously, are all at once noble and heart-rending. Regardless of the hatred from the Breeds, despite the tortures her own father performs on her, she continues her work without thought for her own welfare.
General Tallent is the kind of villain that will turn your stomach and make it a little harder to sleep at night. The numerous atrocities he has committed against both the Breeds and his own daughter are bad enough, but his belief that he fights on the side of righteousness is what will really stop your heart. He is a criminal who believes what he is doing is right, a supremacist that is content to completely wipe out the Breed race if he cannot control them.
Tanner's Scheme had tears running down my cheeks more than once. Learning what Scheme suffered at the hands of her father twisted my guts, and seeing Tanner's reaction when he discovered the same was simultaneously heart-breaking and heart-warming. Watching this couple overcome their pain, their mistrust, and find a way to bridge the secrets that threaten to keep them apart forever was enough to break my heart. But it is the depth of this story's angst that ultimately makes the happy ending that much sweeter.
And there is a happy ending, of course. Lora Leigh delivers a very satisfying ending for Tanner and Scheme's story, served up with plenty of sexual heat along the way! Tanner's Scheme is a veritable roller coaster of emotion, and is definitely a contender for the position as her best Breeds story yet!
