ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 6, 2013
Jaguar shifter Maya Anderson learns about a secret jaguar society through underground social networking sites. She wanted to discover others like her, but now she’s got more trouble than she bargained for—including one hot jaguar shifter who’s set his sights on her.
Wade Patterson has learned that Maya is a shifter—and available. But how does he get to know her when he left such a bad first impression? When he learns Maya has gone to a watering hole for jaguar shifters to meet up, he quickly follows after, hoping she is wily enough to hold her own…
••••••••••••
REVIEW: JAGUAR FEVER is the second storyline in the Heart of the Jaguar series by Terry Spear. Although it is the second installment, it can be read as a stand alone without too much difficulty. Some of the previous storyline characters play secondary roles, but any pertinent information is revealed throughout this particular novel. This story focuses on Maya Anderson and Wade Patterson who were introduced in book one-Savage Hunter.
The storyline focuses on the Patterson brothers and more specifically alpha he-man Wade Patterson, as he and his brother David, search for a group of people who have been illegally importing wild jaguars for a hunting ranch in the USA. But Wade will find himself face to face with the woman who stirred something deep within his heart-Maya Anderson-another jaguar shifter who hopes to reconnect with Wade for a few days of hot passionate sex without any ties.
The writing style is simple and the plot predictable. This is a story about a special forces shifter unit hoping to stop the illegal poaching of big game cats, but will all too soon find themselves the hunted as well as the hunter. The environmental issues of endangered species is an integral part of the storyline with issues pertaining to illegal poaching, importing and the sale of wild animals to collectors and hunters.
The storyline takes place between Belize and the USA where Terry Spear takes the reader on a journey through the underbrush and jungles of two different continents. The flow and pacing are steady; there are several chase and actions scenes culminating in retribution and revenge; as well as the push and pull of sexual attraction. And like the animals of the wild, our leading couple know what it is they want from each other.
With this particular storyline, Terry has introduced several more potential players including three male and two female shifters without mates, so you know the series will continue for several more books.
Terry Spear introduces the reader to sexy feline shifters; a special forces JAG unit that oversees the world of the cat; and a series with a little action, a little suspense, a little romance and a little sex. A perfect read for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Great review Sandy and I love the idea of jaguar shifters.

Wonderful review, Sandy. I like the premise of this series, and the fact that you can read without trouble, if you missed the previous books. Though I do like to start at the beginning. But I enjoy when authors blend in a brief background, to refresh your memory or if you are reading as a standalone

This is a really great series. Maya is witty and feisty and Wade is a sexy mystery. I can’t wait to read their story. Great interview. While you can start the series with this book I’d highly recommend reading Savage Hunter first.

Thanks, everyone! The series is heating up, and they’re lots of fun! Wade’s brother’s story, David’s, is next up in Jaguar Hunt! Good luck!
Thank you Terry for stopping by. Definitely looking forward to David’s story.
David kept trying to take over. LOL But he and Wade made such a fun brother pair.

Great review. I really enjoy Terry Spear’s wolf books and now there’s jaguars, rowr! Big cats are always sexy. 😀
Thanks, ladies!! Yes, definitely cats add to the mix. In fact, they’re mixing it up a little more–gently, in a book or two. Never know where that’s going to go. 🙂
I enjoyed your review; this sounds like an enjoyable read.
Nice review! Can’t wait to read Jaguar Fever. I enjoy Terry Spear’s books very much.
