I wanted to like this last book in the series but I ended up liking it the least of the four books. Cameron (or Caramel) is lion who lost his way and is now a pole dancer/stripper. I found the premise about why he left his parent's pride not very well explained. It sounded like he was a big brat and ran off in a tantrum and expected them to come chasing after him. Then when they didn't, he became a stripper/hooker. What? He wasn't abused or run off because he was gay. He was just a huge immature baby and he continued to be a baby throughout the book, throwing tantrums, treating Franklin with little to no respect. Can you tell I didn't like Cameron at all? It was interesting because in the beginning of the story, I thought it was going to go the other way. Franklin was a rich, privileged, pompous jerk seemingly...but then he did a HUGE 180 in about 2 pages. I got whiplash. I think it was supposed to be like some big twist in the story, but it ended up being a little choppy and not flowing well within the story. Franklin went from an alpha male CEO type to a big pussy (no lion pun intended) that wanted to be punished for some guilty feelings. Ack - both characters were completely unlikable in my opinion. I liked this book but it was my least favorite of the Thrown to the Lions series. I think my biggest problem was seeing Franklin shift from being the in charge business man who joins up with the pride to find Cameron to his becoming a guilt ridden submissive. That transition just didn't work well for me. Still I really liked the chemistry between Cameron and Franklin and I loved seeing all the main characters from other books. An enjoyable read.
