Fury by Laurann Dohner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ellie is horrified to discover the pharmaceutical company she works for is doing illegal experiments. Company scientists have spliced human and animal DNA, creating exotic new species. One such “experiment” captures her heart and she’ll do anything to save him – even if he hates her for it.
.
Fury has never known compassion or love. He’s spent his life in a cell, chained and abused by humans. The one woman he allowed himself to trust betrayed him. Now he’s free and set on vengeance. He vows to end her life but when she’s finally in his grasp, harming her is the last thing he wants to do to the sexy little human.
.
Fury can’t resist Ellie – the touch of her hands, her mouth on his skin, her body wrapped around his. He’s obsessed with the scent of his woman. And Ellie wants Fury – always has. She craves his big, powerful body and wants to heal his desolate heart.
But loving Fury is one thing… taming him is another.
Fury
Familiar but good!

The heroine: Ellie – she is working undercover at an illegal testing lab in order to gather evidence against the company and release all of the test subjects including 416 whom she feels for since he has been one of the favorites of the men who mistreat the test subjects. The test subjects were created by splicing human and animal DNA.
The Hero(es): Fury (a.k.a. 416) – He spent his life being chained up, abused and experimented on. He is full of rage and hatred. Ellie was the only one who showed him kindness. So when she betrays Fury, he wants revenge.
The Story: When Ellie finds 416 in a room with one of the worst guards being physically abused in a horrible way, after being drugged. she goes crazy and kills the guard. This happened on the worst possible day, since she had just returned from breaking into one of the doctor’s offices and downloading enough information to put the company out of business for good. She still needed to get the stolen data out of the building at the end of the day and to her handler.
I liked the story despite its being a bit derivative of Lora Leigh’s Breeds series. Though I really loved that series so I didn’t mind the similarities. Like Breeds, this has genetically altered human/animal hybrids who were kept in captivity, experimented on and tortured for years who are now trying to make a life for themselves on a compound while surrounded by hicks and bigots who picket outside the gates and some of them get even more creative and try to go after them.
The book was told in Ellie’s point of view and the narration was done by Vanessa Chambers. Recently I have been passing over audiobooks that only have one narrator, but I found that I enjoyed Vanessa’s voice and didn’t mind the lack of a male narrator. It helps that Vanessa has a multitude of voices that she uses for different characters.
