Summary: First half of story was great, second half not so much
Comment: Mercury's War started out strong, but the second half was not as good. I liked the chemistry between the hero and heroine. It was very intense, but they started to lose me when they brought back an old love from the hero's past. It started to go down from there and everything felt very rushed. The first part of the book seemed to build up slowly (which I liked) and the second half went by in a blur. I think also that Lora Leigh used the term mating heat way too much. It started to get on my nerves. Overall though, I give it 4 stars!!!!
Customer Rating: Summary: Another great installment in this series
Comment: I now own this entire series (at least what's been released), and this is by far one of the best written. It's well-written, descriptive and engrossing. If you want an introduction to the Breed series this could be one of the best. I've read this countless times since I've purchased it less than two(2) months ago.
Customer Rating: Summary: Really 3 1/2 stars; some plot problems, but love Mercury
Comment: Long time reader of Lora Leigh, so I'm very familiar with the hot, hot sex scenes in her books. I've also read all of her available Breed, Wolf, Feline, and Coyote books, so I'm a loyal fan. I was very interested when Mercury finally got his own book.
Spoiler alert:
In general, I really liked the book and the hero and heroine, and of course the steamy scenes were good....this is Lora Leigh. My disappointment was that the plot was sometimes contradictory and at other times just didn't meet the build up of expectation. Ria's back story and her real relationship with the Leo and his family was just handled awkwardly. I think Lora was trying to be mysterious, but it just didn't flow that way. Also Ria was a latent or hybrid Breed without any outward appearance of being a Breed, but she has to file her canines monthly? Hmmm. There was also this big buildup to a conspiracy that was supposed to be a coup to unseat Callan, so you think someone from the inner circle is about to be revealed as a traitor, but it's really a little known lab assistant and a nurse? Why would a lab assistant and a nurse go to the trouble of making Callan look bad or to unseat him? It turns out to just be the sell of confidential info for money by two minor culprits who somehow have the technical genius to circumvent all the security protocols and software security. They were also able to duplicate Callan's voice to give false orders that of course were going to be discovered as false. I know, I know. Some of you will say it was all part of the bigger plot to make the Breeds look bad, and to further the pharmaceutical bad guys plans, but the plot had too many weak points and just didn't deliver in order to make the story a good one. Don't get me started with the Alaiyah subplot. Is she or isn't she according to the tests? Jonas has Alaiyah working for him for 8 months and had already had tests run in the same lab where the tampering was occurring to confirm she wasn't Mercury's mate. I think this confusing mess was to set up a future story for Alaiyah since she's obviously mated with someone. Just not Lora's best story, but I still like that Mercury got his mate.
Overall, an enjoyable read and an okay addition to the Breed series.
