A powerful King, not wanting love but cannot resist
Lords of the Var: The Savage King (Book 1)

King Kirill became King once his father was murdered. His father had taught his sons to have many women therefore King Kirill was not looking for love. Until an agent comes to planet Qurilixion to look for a biological weapon that the former King had acquired.

Ulyssa was only there strictly on business. She was captured and eventually became King Kirill's lover. Many things happen and before she can realize she was slowly falling in love with him in denial, and tries many avenues of escape. King Kirill was also falling for Ulyssa as well. It was taught to have many women from his father but he couldn't--he only wanted her.

Fighting the ruling of his kingdom, the previous rules for women and fighting his feelings for Ulyssa, he had to make a choice and fight for it. In the meantime, he had to also convince Ulyssa to be his lover. That was hard.

Many hot sexy scenes. Many fights. This book is definitely a great start to the story of the Var's part of the planet.

GREAT READ as well as a GREAT SERIES to follow up from the Draig series.

Lords of the Var
Ulyssa is an agent working undercover. While on a mission, she is captured by the King of Var and placed in his harem. She escapes and as she wanders through the palace she bumps into Kirill. Kirill is about to be crowned the new king of Var after the death of his father. Upon meeting Ulyssa, he is instantly attracted to her.

The men of Var do not fall in love. They do not submit to women in any way. Ulyssa will be nothing more than a mistress to Kirill. Ulyssa bows to no man and tries to fight her attraction to Kirill. They are able to come to an agreement about their mutual attraction, but Ulyssa discovers that her job as an agent must once again be her first priority even over her own feelings. With the fate of the planet riding on her shoulders, she must put business before pleasure. Through many uncertainties and hidden secrets, Kirill and Ulyssa have to choose their paths, will they lead to each other?

Kirill and Ulyssa are very hot together. When Kirill says "more," I squirmed in my seat. When he says it again and again, I melted. But they go from hot to cold so quickly it dampens the mood. Ulyssa is very independent and strong willed. Kirill was equally strong willed and dominant, so their head-butting is expected, however the story gets too
heavy with conflict. When Kirill and Ulyssa make love, they are tender and passionate. But they would quickly be at odds again. It took the romance out of it for me. I did enjoy the story because their world is so unique and interesting. Add to that, Kirill's brothers are just as sexy as he is. I found the ending very moving and heartfelt. Overall, The Savage King lacks depth but is enjoyable.

a good sci-fi & romance series
Agent Ulyssa Payne (Lyssa) with the Human Intelligence Agency was sent to the planet of Qurilixen on a mission involving the Medical Mafia, now she is stuck on the barbarian planet until the Agency can retrieve her in about 3 months. While camped out in the forest she is captured by the Var, a handsome race of cat shape shifters. The newly crowned King Kirill of the Var and Lyssa share a instant attraction, but the king and his brothers were raised by their father who was a hard man that taught them to distant themselves from emotions and that they should not restrict themselves to just one woman. Lyssa was trained to keep her idenity a secret and going from orphanage to the strict agency, she also struggles with the new feelings she has to deal with. This is a good sensual romance that I enjoyed very much.
