Review: Dominic (Lords of Satyr #4)

Title: Dominic (Lords of Satyr #4)
Author: Elizabeth Amber
Series: Lords of Satyr
Genre: Paranormal Romance

People, people, people. You may be wondering why I am reviewing another Lords of Satyr book after the devastation that was book three. Let me tell you something about myself...I am not a quitter and I knew the next book in this series just had to be better. You know what? I was right!

This book really was two stories that focused on Emma (Jane's sister) and Vincent (Jane's son). The series has moved further into the future (Vincent is 26).

Let's talk about Emma first. Also, I did not mention in my other review that this series takes place in the 1800s in Italy. Now back to Emma. Emma has grown into a delicate woman that feels the need to please others while her insides are screaming NO. I'm not going to completely judge her since it is the 1800s. Sweet delicate Emma is now married to a Satyr relative. Even though she is married, she meets Dominic. Dominic is from Elseworld and is critical to keeping the peace in Elseworld. Let me tell you a little somethin' somethin' about Dominic. He is a hot bastard! The had one of the most erotic sex scenes I have read in sometime...Emma, Dominic, an extra and a mirror. I had to fan myself. Hot monkey mirror sex indeed.

The second part of the story focuses on Vincent who is no longer a child. Vincent is a man and the author was so determined to make the reader think of Vincent as a man that she CONSTANTLY mentions his "man-ness". Eleven and seven, ladies. Eleven and seven.

I wasn't sure why these two character's stories were included in one "book" but I understood at the end. These stories were not only critical as they were slightly entwined but Ms. Amber is making sure the Satyr audience knows that the offspring are now in control of Satyr lands.

My rating: ****

Review: Lyon (Lords of Satyr #3)

Title: Lyon (Lords of Satyr #3)
Author: Elizabeth Amber
Series: Lords of Satyr
Genre: Paranormal/Multi-Equipped Men

Reviewed by: Vhampy

This is the third book in the Lords of Satyr series. If you have not read the first books in this series (Nicholas and Raine), don't start with this book. You will be confused.

The Lords of Satyr are a group of brothers that live in the human world but also have "magical" powers that allow them to interact with beings of Elseworld. Elseworld contains all types of beings we are accustomed too: fairies, mermaids, centaurs, etc.

This book focuses on the third brother Lyon. I had high expectations for him because in the first too books Lyon appeared to be the "fun" one that had a voracious appetite for the ladies and would be able to pleasure them for days on end. Well...guess who should not have gone into this book with high expectations? What a thud. Sure there were some sexual situations but no hot monkey sex. By the way...I guess I should mention at this point why the Lords of Satyr are multi-equipped men. Here is what makes these men magical: once a month they sprout an extra penis. Yes, my friends. Two penises that require dual entrances into the ladies. Put those ingredients in your pot and let it simmer.

Now back to the book. There were some surprises but overall I was bored. I'm going to place blame on the main female character. Snooze. Snooze. Snooze. I still can't figure out why Lyon likes her. They don't seem like a good fit for each other. Maybe their connection will make more sense in the other Satyr books.

My rating: ***
