I’m Dylan “Holliday” Jacobs, and I take pride in honesty. Having my Dark Leopards MC brothers’ backs. Doing the right thing for them and their old ladies while trying to hide the desire for my own.
But the lion in my head is feral. I don’t feel the mating call he insists is truth between me and the newest club whore, and I sure as hell won’t be manipulated by him into claiming her, no matter how sweet she smells.
My inner cat is a liar, but my shifter’s gift tells me she lies, too.
When the time comes to choose between him and the too-young woman who refuses to speak the truth, I’ll ignore my instincts and do the honorable, honest thing—and chance losing the one thing I’ve always wanted.

What a great read!!!! I loved Holliday and Sienna! The fight he had with his inner cat to not believe she was his mate was awesome All that she’s hiding comes full circle and wow It was great how it unfolded! Their chemistry was undeniable and so hot! The push and pull was intense to read!!!! I loved it!!!
The Dark Leopards MC East Texas Chapter Series is top in the shifters genre for me! I love the way Lynn Burke shatters her readers hearts with unbelievable darkness and despair, then piece us back together, chapter by chapter. Feral Instincts is sick! In all the good ways. Holliday has crawled his way back from hell carrying some unresolved trauma, but willing to change as long as he has his MC brothers by his side. What Holliday never expected was to meet someone who would upend his world and attach herself to his soul. Sienna keeps it all inside. She is there to do her job for the club. No attachments, no ownership, and all the freedom she wants. When Sienna meets Holliday the burning need to submit and feel protected twists her into knots and makes her question Everything!
I loved this story. It pulled me in from the first page and keep me glued to the end. I haven't read many MC stories where the female main character was a club girl and honestly, I didn't know how this was going to work. Lynn Burke not only made it work, she totally rocked it. Holliday and Sienna go through a lot, and I mean a lot, of stuff. This is one of those stories that you can't put down because you have to know what happens. Will Holliday ever be able to forgive himself for the things that happen to Sienna? It's gritty, it's intense and it's just so good!!!
I absolutely love shifter books where the H argues with his animal! Lynn did not disappoint with this one. Sienna IS hiding something, but it’s NOT anything Holliday could imagine. This story was so good with an h that knows what she wants and an H that, eventually, gets there with her. And when he does? He doesn’t let anything stand in his way. Poor Sienna went through some tough times but definitely gets a man worthy of her in the end!
I loved this story of Holliday and Sienna... Holliday is a recovering alcoholic and Sienna is the Club Whore ... Holliday has no idea how much of an effect Sienna has on him until they start seeing each other at the Club... Sienna and Holliday's dance was an interesting one .... one I didn't expect and I really enjoyed how each of them had to deal with their own conflicts and miscommunications .... really great shifter book and I want more Lynn Burke
Holliday is a lion-shifter whose cat is feral. He does, however, have the ability to determine if someone is being honest or not. Sienna is on the run, and feeling her freedom for maybe the first time ever. She has made the choice to work with the MC, but Holliday can tell she is not being truthful.
A twisty path for these main characters. Sienna has more in her past than even she knows…. And Holliday may have just put her in greater danger. Fabulous, entertaining and a great addition to this enjoyable series.
**I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book**
Holliday went through so much in his life. To finally come home again to the DLMC, is everything to him. What he didn't expect is walking in and finding out that one of the "Club Girls" is his mate. He and his cat disputes this fact, but ultimately fate steps in and he and Sienna come together as one.
Sometimes there are certain things that happen in your life that made you choose a different path in life. This is what exactly what happens with her. She thought what she was doing was her living her best life, it took him to realize she's his mate, when she finally knew what living truly is. Although they have a long way to go but they will make it.
First things first; I really like the cover of this book! Feral instincts is the eighth book in the ‘’dark leopards East Texas MC’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Sienna is running for freedom. As a club girl, she is used to rough and ready bikers. Lion shifter, Holliday is a member of the dark leopards MC. When he is released from rehab, he returns to the club and meets Sienna. He wants Sienna but he cannot trust his feral instincts. Will Holliday come to his senses and get his mate before its too late? The chemistry between Holliday and Sienna is clear to see and I liked them together. I liked the build up to them getting together. That being said, I wish that were a few more scenes of them as an official couple. I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.
Omg I loved this book I could not put it down. It sucks you in from the beginning. Sienna was hiding from something. And she found protection is way of the Dark Leopards MC. Holliday has his own dark past he had to come to terms with it. This book takes you for a ride. It was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to see what happens. I highly recommend this book.
See what a lack of communication and trust can do. Holliday was shitty to Sienna, but everyone could see what was between them. Took him long enough to catch up to what his beast was telling him.
Holliday’s story was very interesting and it totally kept me engrossed in the story. What made it really interesting was the fact that the leading lady was one of the MC whores, someone that the whole club has had access to and used.
Holliday has a special gift, he can tell when someone is lying and Sienna is lying about something. But Sienna has her reasons for lying and as she and Holliday get closer, they both feel a pull towards each other, but they fight it, one more than the other.
Gah! I don’t want to talk too much about the ending because…spoilers! But oh my goodness that just totally blew me away, totally unexpected. But once all that was over and done I loved the ending.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
