Leashed #3
The Lion's Share
The legacy of the evil witch has left Meg with a heck of a lot of power and influence in the southwest United States. Much to her dismay, this means that just about everyone thinks she's a shoo-in to be the next grand dame.
What they don't get is that the last thing Meg wants is to be grand dame. She grew up watching her mother rule the paranormal community in the northeast US and it was enough to show her that she didn't want that kind of responsibility.
Terrance B. Sharpe proclaims himself to be the man for the job, however. He's even leashed the matriarch of L.A.'s very powerful lion's pride as a display of his prowess. It's through him that Meg meets an actor she's panted after for years. One of the lions, Logan Lockhart, not only makes her girl parts happy, he also fills her in on a thing or two about Sharpe that she'd rather not know.
But what the heck is she doing paying attention to Logan when she's already got two luscious shifters to call her own? Michael and Rudy are doing all they can to help her out, but Michael, as usual, has his own goals that don't always mesh with Meg's.
What's a girl to do when she's been handed a lion's share of power on a silver platter?

Devoured another one. *g*
What to say about this one? It deals with the power vacuum left when Shannon died. Who is to be the next Grand Dame? And why does everyone insist Meg should take on that responsibility?
Of course, in the nature of all character centric pieces, that's kind of a background to the changing dynamics between the characters. Between Meg, Rudy, and Michael. Between Meg and her father. Between Meg and the coven she inherited from Roland. And then there are all the dynamics outside of the house.
Oh, and adding into the romantic/sexual side of things, Meg gets introduced to a lion who just happens to be a big movie star that she's always been fond of. And the attraction goes both ways.
I don't think I've mentioned this in previous reviews, but this is a closed urban fantasy world. The witches and shifters know about each other, but the mundanes are largely clueless.
On the shifter side of things, it's more magic than biology. Shifters are made, but they need to be near death to be converted. And, the flavor of shifter that turns someone doesn't determine what flavor the new shifter is. So, as mentioned in a previous book, Michael, a jaguar, turned Rudy, a wolf.
Highly recommended.

I just re-read this to get ready for #4, and I am delighted that I still enjoyed it. The same things kept me from totally loving it: Meg still seems so weak, both physically and mentally. She's constantly having to be lifted or carried or maneuvered in some way by her men... it's a good thing she's got two! And she says multiple times that she's known she was being led to make the decision to be the Grand Dame. If she knew it was coming and didn't want it, why didn't she do something about it?
The first time I read this, I found myself resenting Logan. I mean, Meg shows up to a party with TWO gorgeous men and she needs to find a third? And the way it kept hurting poor Rudy to see her attraction to Logan just made Meg seem selfish. But this time, I tried to go into it with a more open mind, and I'm almost excited now to see how Logan is going to fit into the fourth book.
There were so many things I loved about this book also. I love Rudy. As Meg says, how could anyone help loving him? I also love the way Ms. Mykles set up the rules for the magic in this world, and how Meg always talks about seeing little tendrils of it, or feeling it at different times. I love the whole concept of the leashes and how Meg, Michael and Rudy get to use them to solidify and enhance the connections that they share.
Mostly, I love how much fun this series is to read. Yes, Meg acts weak sometimes and that frustrates me, but she also knows when to stand up for herself or for those she loves, and she totally kicks ass when she does it! I would recommend this to anyone not put off by menage books.

This one picked up where the last one left off, after having been almost killed, again. With all her power, two leashed shifters and some startling things happening all in 2 months she had came to view of a lot of people. And they all expect her to become grand dame, the only thing is she doesn't want the job. She grew up watching her mother do it, and it was enough for her to know she didn't want to do it.Terrance B. Sharpe does though, at first Meg's all for it, until she leans some very interesting things about Mr. Sharpe, things that doesn't bode well for any of the paranormal community.Michael and Rudy are as always trying to help out, though Michael and her don't always see "eye to eye" on some things, also her fathers trying to help her, she doesn't trust him.
So whats she to do now with people pushing her to a job she doesn't want, responsibilities she doesn't want?

Completely loving reading the evolving story of our heroic triangle/menage. Given how much I love Meg, Michael and Rudy and that the series have had real stories in their books rather than just backgrounds for wild erotic situations I was a bit worried by the blurb suggesting another male entering the fold.
But luckily the story still was focused around our famous three - and thankfully kept didn't go too far off to the ridiculas.
Good read - but HIGHLY recommend that you read the series in sequence:
Howl (anthology that includes Leashed, #1);
More than a Bargain (Leashed, #2);
The Lion's Share (Leashed, #3).
There is a short story set between books 2 + 3 about Meg's sister Spiritual Noelle, A Sister Leashed Story] but it's not referred to in other books and is not a necessary read. It's ok, but not as good as rest of Leashed series.

This book takes place maybe 2 weeks after book #2. Just to warn you, the cover is a bit misleading.
Meg is trying to fix what Roland did to the Earth magic and figure out how Michael really feels about her. Is it all ambition or is there a little love. Rudy is just being his wonderful self. Now that there is a grand dame opening, Meg's trying to stay about of all the politics with as little damage to herself, which isn't very easy.
This is a really good series.
