Synopsis:

In this erotic historical paranormal romance trilogy set in the heart of Tuscany's centuries-old wine country, three half-Satyr brothers receive a letter that sends them in search of three endangered half-Faerie brides.

     Handsome, stoic, middle brother Raine has been wed before to a wife who was disgusted by his carnal needs. Each month at Moonful, these half-Satyrs change physically, becoming more powerfully potent.      They're driven by the darker side of their natures to indulge in a nightlong ritual in a sacred gathering place ringed with ancient statues.

     Though Raine wants no part of another marriage, he searches out the second half-Faerie, Jordan, in Venice. She turns out to be far different than he could ever have imagined, and she is living a dangerous lie.

     Raine's traumatic childhood and a bad marriage have closed him to the idea of giving or receiving love. As the winegrape harvest begins, Jordan slowly reawakens his heart. But he finds himself competing with another nightmarish suitor who has gained an evil hold over this woman he is coming to love.

 



 

SRR GRADE: A+
 

Raine is the second book of the trilogy of The Lords of Satyr by Elizabeth Amber and one I had been anxiously awaiting. This book was definitely worth the wait! Each story focuses on one of the three brothers, the last Lords of the Satyr and the trials they go through to find their half fairy mates in an effort to protect their secrets and their lives. 

 

After a horrific first marriage the last thing Raine wants is another wife.  But he must follow the wishes of King Feydon and find his mate.  He travels from his home in Tuscany to Venice for a conference on a disease affecting Europe’s grape vines but inadvertently comes across a glorious enigma.  Of course she turns out to be the one for whom he has been searching, he just doesn’t know it yet.

 

Jordan dreads her birthday.  Every year she spends it suffering and away from her loved ones and every year she hopes it will be different.  She gets her wish when she meets up with Raine. After she experiences a night of passion beyond her wildest imaginings she finds that her entire world has changed.

 

Raine takes Jordan to the Satyr Estates in Tuscany and brings her to his home intending on marrying her as is duty but he tries to ensure she doesn’t get too close.  Jordan would like nothing more than the love of this man and a family but she can’t bring herself to subject him to the scandal if her secrets are revealed.  Raine is tormented by his sexual feelings – thinking them too savage to unleash upon anyone.

 

True to Nicholas, the first book in the series, Raine and Jordan go through much adversity to find their way to love and it is one amazingly erotic trip.  None of the Satyrs will ever need a “little blue pill” and Jordan is Raine’s equal in sexual appetite. 

 

Jordan is an incredibly strong female lead and can hold her own against the dynamic Raine.  The suspense, erotic love scenes and magic of this book will not disappoint.

 

Set in the Regency Era it is fantasy and erotica all rolled into one splendid package tied with a huge red bow.  So pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back and relish the opening of this present delivered by Elizabeth Amber. You won’t want to miss one passionate word.

 

Though it is the second book in the series and can stand one its own I would encourage you to read Nicholas as well.  Lyon the third brother’s story will be out in October of this year and I can’t wait.  The Lords of Satyr series will find a permanent place on my bookshelf to be read and re-read, these characters too wonderful to let loose.
