Product Description

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 repulsed 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.

Raine lifted his silver gaze to the mirror that hung on the wall in Jordan's bedchamber............And saw himself............Saw how horribly changed he was physically. Saw the soft down of sepia fur that now covered his legs from thigh to ankle. The fur not of a man, but of an animal. Having sprouted with the onset of the Calling, it would not disappear until the coming of dawn.............Though he wanted to turn away, he forced himself to look. To see himself for the half-beast, half-Human he was. To see the huge vein-roped man-penis jutting from his dark thatch, its blood-purpled head straining in search of quim. And to see its twin, a second ruddy penis angling high from his pelvis a few finger spans above it.............It was the way of the Satyr and he had experienced such changes before--at least a dozen times each year. But he'd always avoided looking at himself when he was this way. This was how his first wife had seen him. As Jordan would.............His eyes wandered over the bottles and vials on her dressing table, the cushion she'd sewn for the chair, the embroidery project she'd tossed in a basket nearby. Like her, everything here was feminine and delicate. Fragile.............Tonight he might hurt her. At a certain point, he might not be able to stop himself from taking her again and again, whether she was willing or not. It was a horrifying thought.............Had it been some last shred of decency in him that had made him come in here? he wondered. After all, he had salve of his own, in his room. At times, he resorted to using it to masturbate himself the multiple times necessary to assuage his nightly need. It was makeshift, but at least he hurt no one. Disgusted no one. Used no one, save himself. Maybe fate was offering him a second chance to regain his self-control before he made a terrific mistake.

Customer Reviews

4 ½ stars. One of the best erotics I've read.
The heroine Jordan, good writing, and the explicit, unusual sex are what made this story memorable for me.

Raine's a tortured satyr male with a backstory that made me empathize with him, and yeah, he was distant because of it. I was attracted to this hero. He's alpha and protective of his woman, but not so overbearing that it gets ridiculous or that he seems stale like a hero I've read too many times before.

The storyline about the satyr as winemakers and the setting descriptions of Venice (gondolas etc) were good stuff. I like that it's set in Italy because that's different from most other romances.

As I said, the sex scenes are explicit. They're diverse and compelling.

I loved the writing.

I'm going to try Nicholas.

Interesting
I thought it was very brave for Amber to write a story wherein the heroine is a hermaphrodite, and include said heroine in so many sexual scenes. Apparently a hermaphrodite is a sought after commodity in the faerie realm. I didn't find this story as erotic as some of the other reviewers. Sorry, but I thought it was lacking that something special. Amber stated what was occurring but left the emotions to the wayside. I'm not sure why they are in love with each other. It was never stated. For the most part Raine tried to stay away from her when he wasn't giving in to his basic lust. I think Emma Holly does it better.

Erotic romance about love and acceptance, hot believable sex, and unusual heroine
The most startling and intriguing feature of this book is the strong heroine Jordan. I've read many erotic romances and can hardly believe I haven't read such a heroine before. Five stars for this author for coming up with her!

Jordan is born into an untenable situation and finds a way to overcome and find love and freedom. She serves as a poignant commentary on accepting others as they are.

And when she runs into Raine (literally) their relationship begins, moving from hot to hotter. Raised by human parents, Raine begins showing signs of being half-satyr and no one knows what to make of it. His parents are horrified and he learns to hide this side of himself from the world.

But at some point, Moonful arrives, his body betrays him, and his parents reject him. He is swiftly deposited with his real father on the Satyr estate, where he begins work in the vineyard and learns what it is to be satyr. An unfortunate marriage to a human woman is a disappointment and another hurt. This guy is truly a wounded alpha male. Attractive, wealthy, intelligent, and distant.

I wanted this couple to get together and they did. Some of the sex scenes surprised me and involved interesting sexual situations I hadn't seen before. I'd recommend this to readers who enjoy erotic romance, not for someone who just likes spicy. I like both and I will be re-reading this one.
