Lords of Satyr: Dominic

Dominic (The Lords of Satyr, #4)Dominic by Elizabeth Amber

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is the continuation of the Lords of Satyr novels. If you have read any of the first three of this series, this is more of the same. If you have not, be warned that these are not for everyone.

This book is split between two novellas: Dominic and then Vincent. There is a tie between the two being the coin of Bacchus that is lost in the first and found in the second.

In Dominic, he is a full Satyr that comes to Earth world to pass on his gift of the demonhand to Jane's sister. Her husband is injured and Dominic must help with the birth of their daughter. The demonhand is a soldier that is often scorned for what he is but is necessary in the war against demonkind. He has no choice in what he is but instead of being given respect for his part in keeping them safe he is scorned. Many of our own soldiers go through this when coming back from wars that are unpopular. Dominic is a sad character in many ways because of this and its nice to see when he finds true love.

Vincent continues the story due to the finding of the coin that was lost in the first novella. He conjures a shimmerskin too many times and causes her to come to life. Many reviewers have indicated that Dominic is the better of the two, but I enjoyed both stories very much. Vincent, Cara, and Landon have an unconventional relationship that was very much filled with love.

Overall, I loved both of these books, and for anyone that enjoyed the first in this series I suggest you continue on with this one. If you haven't read any of this series, be aware that its definitely for those over 18.

When I Fall

When I Fall (An Uncommon Whore, #2)When I Fall by Belinda McBride

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I can honestly say that I liked this read but not as much as the first one, An Uncommon Whore.

This book picks up from where the first one leaves off. Helios and Griffin have returned and Helios has become king. The story is told from Griffin's POV and we see just how different these two really are. Along the way we also learn more of their history and the romance they had before Helios was abducted. We also learn more about what really happened when their planet was invaded.

There are a lot of differences in writing style between the two books in this series. This one is more of a romance and less of an erotica. We see more of the political aspect of their society and more of the difficulties of not only being a same sex couple but one in power. They have the issues of continuing the royal bloodline as well as when it will be acceptable for them to marry. There were issues of secrets and trust between Griffin and Helios due not only to politics but painful aspects of the past. The strain on their relationship was evident as it must be in any couple living in the spotlight.

After reading An Uncommon Whore and enjoying it so much I was excited to continue with When I Fall. I don't think When I Fall could have been read alone, the first one could be. There's just too much that you wouldn't have understood without reading the first one. And I noticed that there is an opening for a part three. I wonder if she will continue the series even farther?

Uncommon Whore

An Uncommon WhoreAn Uncommon Whore by Belinda McBride

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


In a word: Awesome! This is the story of Pasha who is a slave with no memory of who he was before. He has been sold into the servitude of a humanoid who uses him to support his gambling addiction. In the begining he sees a man in the bar that his heart recognizes even if his mind doesn't.

The story is told wonderfully from the perspective of Pasha. We see thru his eyes as he finds his life long friend and love and comes to know who he truly is and why his is an uncommon whore. I love the flow of this book as the story slowly unfolds as Pasha's memories return. He comes to remember who he is and what happened to him. He then has to learn the fate of his people and what has happened to those his loves. The sex is definitely hot and only serves to add to the story instead of the story only being about the sex. The story is more about love, relationships, and overcoming hardships.

I would recommend this to anyone that loves sci/fi erotica with a bit of spice and definitely only for those over 18. Loved it!
