Sum It Up! 
Even though there is a low rating, because of technical issues, the story itself was good. I fully intend to add the rest of the series to my must-read list.

Zandy’s had too much to drink and is in the wrong place at the wrong time. She knows she’s going to die. When her eyes open again, a beautiful man-creature is holding her in his arms. He is just too tempting to resist—her fallen angel. She wraps herself around his body, determined to have him. Reality crashes in when he turns out to be flesh and blood. She’s just molested a New Species.

Tiger’s shock quickly turns to intense passion when the small human female kisses him. She’s trying to get his clothes off and wants to share sex with him but she’s lying across the hood of his Jeep and he’s engaged in a task force operation.

Tiger has made it clear that he will never take a mate. There’s only one small problem—they can’t keep their hands off each other. The taste and feel of her just leaves Tiger wanting more. (Goodreads)

Review:

Tiger is book 7 in the New Species series. It can be read as a stand-alone but it would make much more sense if read in order. There were no descriptions on how this species came to be, there were references to events but no explanation, and character involvement that causes a little confusion.

The characters, setting, and situations were all great. I loved the story! The New Species are a perfect mix of man and animal (if you like that sort of thing). All the very best characteristics of a man plus the heightened sense of smell, strength, healing, loyalty, mating instincts, and eyes of an animal (in Tiger’s case its feline). This romance is hot and steamy where it needs to be and dramatic enough to keep you reading.

So why the low rating…There were several grammatical errors that were distracting, some situations were painfully slow, and emotions were over described. It was easy to imagine the emotions that the characters would be feeling in certain situations, but then we were told- sometimes more than once. Some of the writing seemed very amateur, which surprised me since Dohner has so many books published.

Even though there is a low rating, because of technical issues, the story itself was good. I fully intend to add the rest of the series to my must-read list.
