CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
REVIEW: If you are a fan of fast-paced fiction with intrigue, romance and unforgettable characters, Iris Bolling’s LEOPARD is must-read. As the third installment following PANTHER and JAGUAR, this story seamlessly continues the saga of covert operations, powerful alliances, and the fight for democracy. Whether you are new to the I.B. Universe or a long-time follower, LEOPARD promises to deliver the thrill and emotional depth you crave.
The heart of LEOPARD is Calvin “Hammer” Johnson, Jr., a brilliant mind living a double life. By day, he is a genius with a reputation for solving the toughest problems; by night, he is a cover operator navigating the dangerous world of government secrets. Calvin’s connections run deep. His three best friends are sons of leaders of the United States. Also, he counts top-tier government officials among his allies. In this story, Calvin stands at a major crossroads in his career, and the stakes have never been higher.
Enters Leslie Carrington whose intelligence and resolve make her a perfect match for Calvin. She enters the story on a mission of vengeance. Her quest is tied to the shadowy organizations P.I.E and Discovery U, (IYKYK) fueling her personal determination to expose corruption and bring justice. When she partners with Calvin, their partnership brings both professional and personal sparks. Their chemistry is undeniable, and Ms. Bolling skillfully blends their relationship alongside the suspenseful plot.
Themes of family, loyalty, and friendship shine throughout. The secondary characters, Adam Lassiter, Sapphire Lassiter Palmer, and Wade Tyson all play pivotal roles, adding depth and continuity to the narrative. These familiar characters provide both support and complications for Calvin and Leslie with their unique perspectives. However, the Epilogue assures the reader that Calvin and Leslie HFN is on solid ground.
LEOPARD: The Next Generation is a compelling addition to the series. With its mix of suspense, romance and rich character development, it’s a standout story that will leave readers eager for more. I recommend it for fiction lovers who enjoy well-crafted stories of courage, conspiracy, and love.
