Ames’ review of Kessa’s Pride by Kama Spice.

Valren Nimhah grew up hearing stories of Kessa Liah of the Silver lineage—one of the most powerful females in over a hundred years. As Leader King, he knew he would have to bring her back. She has risked the safety of the pride by living among humans. Besides, he was in heat and needed a powerful mate. What he hadn’t bargained for was how easily Kessa would drive him to the brink of madness, blinding him with savage desire.

Kessa Liah has managed to subdue her animal urges while living among humans. But after the death of her human mate, a Leader King finds her and promises to bring her back to everything she’s left behind. When he sends two males and a female to remind her of what a real cat in heat is like, she is powerless to resist. The familiar scent of Lith’han sex sends her into a frenzy. If this is how her body responds to ordinary pride members, resisting the lust of an alpha male will be almost impossible.

I found this story odd and not very hot. The whole Silver Lineage thing didn’t really mean a whole lot (a ceremony happened at the end) and it was just a device to make Kessa seem more powerful and important than she was. But she left the pride when she was really young and didn’t learn anything about her heritage. And the reasons why she left? They scarred her – so much so she had erased all the good things about her life when she was younger and made her people/pride out to be horrible monsters. But they weren’t really. We know that…but I’m not really sure Kessa learned that. When she was dragged back to her pride (after living among humans forever) she remains aloof from them for the most part. I didn’t feel like there was any character growth with her and for Valren to fall for her? I didn’t get that either. It wasn’t believable.

Kessa’s Pride gets a 3 out of 5 from me.

This book is available from Ellora’s Cave. You can buy it here in e-format.

    I’ll look forward to this being printed on paper (I can’t do the e-thing).

    I love a HOT menage story! Especially if it involves a little m/m action!
