As King
Feydon lay on his deathbed, he penned a missive to the Satyr brothers,
beseeching them to find the three daughters the Faery King sired with human
women many years ago. The three brothers must each marry one of the half-Faery
women in order to protect them from those who would use them to destroy the
mortal realm.
But Fate stepped in to ensure that each brother finds his perfect match in the
woman they’ve been compelled to guard. Even Raine finds love with his intended
bride, Jordan, regardless that he swore never to love or trust a women again
after his faithless ex-wife attempted to ruin his family with rumors of the
Satyr brothers’ practices behind closed doors.
The protection spells the Satyr brothers weave for their mates require the bond
of matrimony to be at their strongest, but Jordan is unlike any woman Raine has
met before, and convincing her to marry him is easier said than done.
I ended
my review of Elizabeth Amber’s previous book in this series,
Nicholas: The Lords of Satyr,
saying that it left me wanting the next book in the series. I can avow with no
small certainty that Raine: The
Lords of Satyr not only lived up to my expectations, but managed
to surprise me in ways I could never have imagined!
As with her sister from the first novel in this saga, Jordan has lived a life of
deceit, hiding the abnormalities that her Faery blood wrought in her body.
Those abnormalities threaten everything she and her mother have, and have caused
her a life filled with pain. When she meets Raine, her life is changed for the
better. Although she still harbors secrets, she is able to live her life with
him more freely than she ever though possible. The joy she feels at the
acceptance Raine offers her is infectious, and the reader can’t help but be
caught up in her happiness, even while outside forces are determined to topple
that precarious state.
Raine is as conflicted as an intriguing hero can be, but knows from the start
how he feels for Jordan. Still, while he shows unconditional acceptance for who
she is, he cannot easily admit his love for her, nor can he bring himself to
trust her. Having been burned once, his trust is not easily given, especially
when giving it erroneously has the potential of harming his brothers along with
himself. Of course, when Raine finally falls, he falls hard, much to this
reader’s utter delight!
I should warn that the story does contain some male/male content, as well as a
brief ménage scene. While neither is gratuitous and fits the story very well,
readers who are sensitive to such content should be aware before they begin
reading Raine: The Lords of Satyr.
In addition, there is some unusual content that is best suited for more
adventurous readers (like me!
J)
Raine and Jordan’s romance was a wonderful edition in this fascinating trilogy.
With the surprises Amber has given us in this book, I am bubbling over with
curiosity and excitement to see what she has in store for us in the third story
and I am eagerly anticipating
Lyon: The Lords of Satyr!
