March 6, 2014Lady's Destiny is both Iria and Dezso POV's. Here's a small taste for you to enjoy...
~Excerpt~
Whenever the moon is full and shining at its brightest, I always dream of myself, basking in the colors and brilliance of a rainbow. In these dreams, a man always appears, right as the rainbow disappears. He always walks over to the crystal clear pool of water and strips down to his skin. Baring a perfectly sculpted masterpiece for my eyes to feast upon, appreciate and remember.
Oh, how I yearn to go to him while he is under the falls, bathing in nature’s finest, purest of waters. Look into his dark blue eyes, which always end up beneath a curtain of darkness that reaches his shoulders, wet and calling me to touch it. To bring his magnificent body flush against mine. I envision caressing his tanned flesh and licking every sparkle of water from all of the warmest places on his body. I would start from the top: his ears, chin, cheeks and lips—and work my way down. Never getting past his center, because that is where I know he will get the most pleasure from my attentions.
The sounds he makes are just as arousing as he is. His sighs of pleasure at times, would seem as if he is in pain. I would take away that glorious pain by giving him even more exhilarating pleasure. Then, he will whisper my name, so sweet from his lips, so sensual, so erotic and thrilling as he reaches his completion, feeding me the finest nectar I have ever tasted.
This dream is always so very intoxicating. It makes me feel so powerful, so satisfied. But alas—it is all only a dream. All of it, something I can never have and never experience—it hurts me to my core. I feel empty and alone. Especially, the times when he whispers, “Lady.” I do not know who he calls from those full lips. But I want it to be me. I always want it to be me…

“I did nothing my Lady. But I will always do anything for you. Anything you need, I will provide. Only for you. You are forever my heart…”
An unexpected and unique fantasy world is alive in A.R. Von’s Lady’s Destiny. A colorful landscape inhabited by many types of magical folk, as if the characters of so many imaginations have come together in this one romance.
I found no fault in the author’s use of first person POV, even as she switched between characters. The transitions were executed smoothly and I liked being able to see this world through the characters’ eyes; especially how they saw each other. It added to a chemistry and emotional connection of this unconventional couple.
The plot is interesting and engaging and as I hoped for Iria and Deszo’s eventual happily-ever-after, I was surprised by the turns the story took. It’s battle of good vs. evil and of love, fate, secrets, and magic. There’s a bit of action, sweet romance, and some sizzling scenes.
The writing has a lyrical, poetic quality that brings fairytales to mind. I enjoyed the author’s voice very much, but this very unique style may not appeal immediately to every reader. However, with it’s vast cast of characters and satisfying story, this book is a perfect fit for fans of magic, romance, and magical romance.
*I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

In a world where darkness is growing by the day, Dezso finds a creature of pure goodness and light in Iria, but things are never as simple as they seem. Iria gives up everything for Dezso, but will her sacrifice may not be enough.
"Lady's Desire" is a trip into a world of legendary creatures where every corner is a new complication. This book is written from the point of view of both Iria and Dezos which means that the reader gets to see the story from two different perspectives. While everything is new Iria, she is strong and willing to do what is necessary to try to make make the relationship work while battling the growing darkness. Dezso is more lover than fighter when it comes Iria, but the world is not black and white and he strives to be the man that Iria needs while fighting both inner and external demons. The relationship between Dezso and Iria is sweet and sultry, however, in the end love might not be enough to save them from destiny.
If you are one of those people who wants to immerse yourself in fantasy, but still be able to actually understand what you are reading then "Lady's Destiny" is the book for you.

I haven't read a magical erotic romance before but I LOVED Lady's Destiny!
Iria is a rare creature with exceptional beauty who only wants to be with one man. Dezso discovers a magical creature that he's drawn to again and again while his feelings grow with every encounter. However, he carries a dark secret that he wishes never existed.
This book is different and outside the box, which what makes it so great. It has love, good vs evil, magic, fantasy, and of course, some seriously hot scenes. The alternating character points of views adds something extra to me. Lady's Destiny grabbed my attention from the beginning and took me on a roller coaster ride until the end. I recommend that everyone give this book a try.

This book has to be, by far, the most unique story I have ever read.
It includes a world filled with magic. Good versus Evil. And a unicorn who is in love with a human. They share a connect like no other and when her wish is granted to become a woman to be with him..... their world is turned upside down... for the best, and the worst. It you are into stories that are different and outside the box, I recommend you give Lady's Destiny a try. It's different. It has smokin' hot scenes and will take you on a wild journey you won't soon forget.
Note: Story is told in first person, present tense with alternating points of view.

Wow ! What an enjoyable read something new and fresh.Who would have thought of a unicorn wanting to turn human in order to be with her chosen soul mate?What an enticing story from beginning to end.The book had somewhat of a fairy tale feel to it.What a remarkable love story.This story was just so sweet and endearing.The character's were lovable and like-able and easy to relate to and even some with a sense of humor.
It's nice to see the choices and sacrifices one will make for true love and ones destined soul mate .Iria was destined to love Dezso but, being a unicorn that was not possible until fate intervened and gave her a chance and a choice to shape her own future.The Goddess showed her what her future could be like if she made the right choices and what sacrifices and choices she might have to make in order to have the kind of future so so desperately craved.What a hard choice that must have been for her not knowing what that sacrifice will be ?What could be asked of you ?Your life as you know it perhaps?
I normally choose one favorite character to rave about but, it was impossible to make a choice among these endearing characters so I will tell you what I loved about the two main characters.
I just love Iria what a kind a loving soul she was.Beautiful inside and out whether a unicorn or in human form.I loved how she was strong and courageous going after those things she wanted out of life.Love being along the ride of her smoldering love affair with Dezso .They came to each other in there dreams and were falling in love even before they met.Loved how she took her destiny by the horns and the tough choices she made without knowing the consequences.Just a kind and loving soul to all those deserving her kindness.Loved the way she loved Dezso will all her being.Loved the way she took charge to learn in all things to defeat her foe.She was really one of a kind...
Dezso was a loving a kind man also but he also held a bit of darkness that he held within himself making him afraid for himself and for Iria. Love the way he Loved Iria it was all consumming.All her needs and wants always came first.How he always worried about her safety and the way he missed her when she was away from her.Love that he was a product of magic.But, most of all it did not matter to him the women he fell in love with before he even met her was a unicorn before becoming human.Love that he was a man full of patience and kindness.And overall just loved the way he loved Iria with his whole heart.
What a unique story about love and sacrifices and defeating evil in order to get your happy ever after.Loved all the magic that surrounded the book there were mermaids, magic makers,shape-shifters and a Goddess with wonderful powers and of course the dark and evil ones.A surprising tale of all love laughter and happy ever afters....

This book is about a man named Dezso and his mate Iria. Only see isn’t exactly a lady she is a unicorn or at least she is in the beginning of the book. She has these dreams of Dezso and they seem so real to her until she wakes up.

I really enjoyed this book. It was cute, steamy, and interesting. It was very well written and they characters were engaging. I liked how the story was kinda mythical with the unicorn and magic aspects that were in it. It had a nice balance between the mythical aspects and the erotic aspects. They meshed well together with out overpowering the other or seeming out of place in the story. I would definitely read another book in this series if it were to be made.
I was given this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.

All right so let me start off by saying that I’m stretching these four bar’s a little far but I just couldn’t give it a three. I’m sorta shocked but…..well…..I kinda liked this MAGICAL Erotic Romance?!?! Honestly, it’s not normally my thing but well it took me back to middle school and greek mythology.
Iria is a Unicorn and has been dreaming and watching a man in the waterfall. She can see him and she dreams some pretty heated thoughts about him. But it’s only in her dreams…..or maybe…if she could just get a bit closer to him…..
Dezso loves coming to the waterfalls, it’s the only place he can truly rid himself of stresses. Oh and he has some pretty erotic dreams here that he can’t live without. One day he gets a flash of pure white and starts running after it. He finally catches up to….A Unicorn!!! Oh my! He creates a spell that enables him to speak to her thru their minds and they become instantly in love. Through magic she makes a deal with The Goddess that if she helps fight darkness and bring everyone into the light, she can stay in human form forever.
Iria & Dezso have some challenges ahead of them. Dezso has a bit of darkness in him that he desperately wants to get rid of. He fights it but he’s scared that one day he won’t be able to. Will he be able to find a way to rid himself of the darkness. Iria is pure light and has a lot of power. She is very important to the world as she can rid it of darkness. Will she learn all she needs to learn to fight? Will she have the courage? Will she and Dezso find light and happiness?
There’s something about the writing in this book that makes it…sweet? Romantic? I’m sure it’s a little of both. I have to admit when I read that the main character was a unicorn I thought it was a bit nuts. However, I love how they spoke to each other, how completely open and honest they are with each other and the devotion they have is amazing. Also, you know how people say “oh my god”? Well in the book it’s “oh my goddess” yes female!!! LOVED that part! LOL
They talk to each other in such a musical lilt saying things like “my love” just in regular conversation. They are just amazing characters and the heat and passion is so HOT!
This book won’t be for everyone but I hope people step out of their box and read Lady’s Destiny. I sure am glad I did.

Overall Rating: 3.5 Rockin’ ★★★☆
Darkness is growing stronger, weakening the light and killing off what makes the world a beautiful place to live in. Enter a world of fantasy and dreams, passions and temptations. A world where dragons, unicorns, magic and mermaids really do exist.A world where love WILL conquer all!
A.R. Von's depiction of mythical creatures and legends of old is a fresh look at the paranormal. I found myself entranced in the story that the author provided. With so many light hearted goodness, that I was bursting from the seams.
Dezso, born of the light and darkness, always looking at the goodness in everything; yet battling the darkness near the surface of his being. Then Iria walks or gallops into his life. This beautiful creature who captures his heart immediately. Iria is a child of the light, a mystical creature herself, is given the opportunity by the goddess, to live her life as a human with the man she craves above all else, Dezo.
Twists and turns, mythical and magical, this story unfolds and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I thoroughly enjoyed the new take that A.R. Von brought to light on mythical legends. Adding in the romantic harmony between Dezso and Iria, the tale was a great example of how love and light always prevails. I can't wait to read the sequel to this book. Nicely done, A.R. Von...Grēta
Hero - Dezso 3.5 stars
Heroine - Iria "My Lady" 4.0 stars
Steam Level: 3.0 stars
Plot: 3.5 stars
Cliffhanger: Yes
Would I recommend this book: Yes! A.R. Von brings a delightful spin on paranormal romance.
Would I read other books by this author: Yes!

Lady's Destiny
A.R. Von
May 7, 2014
I was delightfully surprised when I stumbled upon A.R. Von’s Lady’s Destiny.
First, I have to say that the book’s description captivated me and second, the fact that this book held no vampire or werewolf in sight shocked me to no end for a paranormal since they do seem to dominate the genre.
In Lady’s Destiny, we are thrust into a magical world filled with goddesses, mermaids, dragons, magic folk and unicorns. Such a wonderful recipe for the battle between good and evil or in this case, the dark and light, wouldn’t you say?
Ms. Von’s creation of Iria and Dezso, as well as the extended cast of this novel, was well thought out, descriptive and engaging. From very early on, it became quite clear to me that this book was the first in a series that has yet to be completed by A.R.. I must say that I’m curious as to the next one which is reported to entail the dragon character’s story! Needless to say, I can only stipulate that the entire, or at least, the two main characters of this book will return seeing as their adventure has yet to reach an end as well.
A few minor things bothered me about this novel. Although there were minimal errors, I found the story sort of lacking in a couple of areas, allowing for my mind to wander off rather than keeping me enthralled in the imaginary world the author has painted. Luckily, the way A.R. Von writes, her almost poetic style of writing which flows beautifully does a whole lot to redeem its shortcomings.
Would I recommend this book? Yes.
Would I read the next one? Of course!
So if you’re looking for a different kind of paranormal romance… one that will make you laugh, feel for the characters woes and revel in their joys, as well as heat things up, Lady’s Destiny might just be your cup of tea!

A complimentary copy was given to me by the author in exchange for this reader's honest review.
I'd like to start off with letting y'all know that this book was the first Fantasy/Paranormal read I have ever read from the author. The previous books I've read from A.R. Von have been contemporary romance. And while I'm ok with those types of books, I love my paranormal/fantasy books to the extreme. Yes, you can say it's my favorite genre. So, while delving into this story I was so giddy with joy & relief. Joy of finding a great story. Relief because it was totally different from my usual paranormal reads. No vampires or werewolves here. Nope. It's about a freakin' Unicorn!! Say what?? Yep, a Unicorn. From the instant I started reading I was on a journey to find one's destiny. A destiny not easily obtained. Only through love & magic can the world be set into balance. It was a classic tale of Good vs Evil. I really enjoyed the details, to the world building, character development, & the story had depth. From beginning to end I was engulfed by this tale of magic. Never a dull moment, especially since we get two alternating point of views from our two main characters. The erotic scenes definitely panty-wetting worthy. I hope the author does more work from this genre because she knocked it out the park with this story.

Written in the first person point of view (POV), this novella tells about a unicorn that dreamed about, and fell in love with, a certain human male. This novel by AR Von has an enchanted and almost surreal feel to it. Vastly different from AR’s zombie novel, Wunder, Lady’s Destiny has no swear words; this sweet romance is as pure as a unicorn with a decidedly naughty side. AR presents both main characters’ point of view and transitions smoothly between them. Side characters have been creatively formed and each is unique in their own bizarre way. Despite some vague scenes, this book came through as an interesting read, and a good introduction to the Lady Series.

I received a complimentary copy from the author for an honest review.
So I had finished this book last month and with all the crazy things going on I am just now getting around to writing my review. I will admit that the writing style was different then what I normally read. So the first couple pages it felt off to me. It didn't take away from the story, it just took a bit to get use to it, but after that it flowed.
A unicorn who dreams of being human so she could be with a man that she's seen and feels connected to. A Goddess who grants that dream. Their connection seems impossible but in a world of magic it is a dream that came true. Their love is strong but an evil is wanting to destroy all that is magical in their world. Can their love destroy the evil so they can live together and raise a family? To get that answer you'll have to read.

Iria and Dezso meet very often but only in dreams and in a particular place: their appointments are very sweet and sensual. In reality, they can not see why Iria is a unicorn. One day, however, she holds more than expected and Dezso can see it. Unfortunately, Than, a poor creature, comes and wants to hurt Iria. To prevent him from seeing her Dezso performs a spell and transformed into a girl and takes her to live with him. Iria is a girl, pure and sweet and try to scratch the darkness in which grew Dezso. They will face many battles if they want to crown their dream of love. Will they stay together?
The story is very well written, it's addictive and is told alternating viewpoints of the two protagonists so we can know the emotions and feelings of both
It 's a perfect blend of magic and romance, with very sensual scenes and a pinch of adventure, do not miss anything.

AR Von has the craziest ideas for stories. When reading the description of her books, you will be thinking "What the ****?!" But it is not like that. She has stories of Zombies and shifters. While this stories focuses on a beautiful magical creature and the bond with her mate. A story full of wonder that lurks in the woods. And under the water. And in the bedroom.... love, happiness, and satisfaction. Beyond the doors of their home is turmoil and darkness. Destruction in their path. It is only Iria, the magical being, to save them all. While keeping her secret from farther extinction of her family. Big surprises start revealing themselves. But with every great story, you can't have the good without the bad! I highly recommend reading all this author has to offer in her stories!!

Having already read one of AR Von’s books, I was excited to read Lady’s Destiny and when I saw the cover, both the original and new one, I was hooked, they are both absolutely gorgeous, the synopsis got me wanting to read…..
So I did, I loved the way the story started, characters were great. Two of my favourite fantasy creatures are dragons and unicorns, so with Lady’s Destiny, I was in my element ;). Did have to keep it away from my eldest daughter though,as she also loves dragons ;)
If you like fantasy, adult reading and a good story, then I recommend you read Lady’s Destiny and will be keeping my eyes open for the next book from AR Von.

I must say this is one of the most unique books I have ever read!
When your dreams can be granted, do you follow your heart?
A good story from beginning to end. It's like reading a fairy tale with and adult twist. A wonderful story of love,in a fantasy world filled with unicorns, mermaids, dragons, magic and the epic battle of good verses evil.
Iria and Dezso meet through there dreams. Only Iria is a magical creature who longs to be with her soulmate Dezso a human. With dreams granted they find love amidst the battle of lightness versus darkness.
The heart and soul have no bounds.

Love the story, the characters were built upon nicely and looks to be a great beginning to something more...Maybe a book 2? Some may complain about the speed at the beginning, but I felt it was necessary and done well to proceed with the main story.
The formal writing was different for me to read but fit well with the story. I did wish for a little more adventure, but there was a nice mix of love and war.
The story is told in two POVs, and is ADULT ONLY!

Great story! Very interesting. The story has a old days way of speech to me. It has just about every mythical creature u can think of in it. It keeps you interested with all the different twists and turns and all the magic being used. Its pretty cool. Its also got a great amount of romance and erotica in it. A couple of the characters are funny and Dezso and Iria are a great couple. I look forward to finding out what all Cristol can do. I will be looking forward to the next book.

Lady's Destiny
Got as a arc for an honest review. Iria is a unicorn. Denzo is a warlock type with light and a smack of darkness in him due to his parents. He is looking for his true mate. He sees visions of her but never touches her. She touches him but always she has to leave and be a unicorn. She wants more and wants him. That faithful day comes and she had a lot of choices to make. What will she choose and will she do right?

What a wonderful and magical adventure Lady's Destiny is. Full of magic(the battle of good and evil), unicorns, a dragon, The Goddess, mermaids, and pyxies. It reminds me of an adult fairy tale. I loved it!
November 27, 2014
I was a little nervous reading this, it was my first ever erotica. I have to say that it was great. Not overly erotica with a great story line. I absolutely love the story concept, it was extremely creative and captivating. I can't wait for for a sequel!!!
February 6, 2014
Very different from the Wunder series. A sweet and fun story.
Want to read
May 27, 2014Lady's Destiny is NOT erotica, yes it's erotic with an awesome HEA.
It's written in both Iria and Dezso POV's. Here's a small taste for you to enjoy...
~Excerpt~
Whenever the moon is full and shining at its brightest, I always dream of myself, basking in the colors and brilliance of a rainbow. In these dreams, a man always appears, right as the rainbow disappears. He always walks over to the crystal clear pool of water and strips down to his skin. Baring a perfectly sculpted masterpiece for my eyes to feast upon, appreciate and remember.
Oh, how I yearn to go to him while he is under the falls, bathing in nature’s finest, purest of waters. Look into his dark blue eyes, which always end up beneath a curtain of darkness that reaches his shoulders, wet and calling me to touch it. To bring his magnificent body flush against mine. I envision caressing his tanned flesh and licking every sparkle of water from all of the warmest places on his body. I would start from the top: his ears, chin, cheeks and lips—and work my way down. Never getting past his center, because that is where I know he will get the most pleasure from my attentions.
The sounds he makes are just as arousing as he is. His sighs of pleasure at times, would seem as if he is in pain. I would take away that glorious pain by giving him even more exhilarating pleasure. Then, he will whisper my name, so sweet from his lips, so sensual, so erotic and thrilling as he reaches his completion, feeding me the finest nectar I have ever tasted.
This dream is always so very intoxicating. It makes me feel so powerful, so satisfied. But alas—it is all only a dream. All of it, something I can never have and never experience—it hurts me to my core. I feel empty and alone. Especially, the times when he whispers, “Lady.” I do not know who he calls from those full lips. But I want it to be me. I always want it to be me…

I received this book from the author and from Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock.
> Lady's Destiny is the first book in "Destiny" serIes, but does not end in a cliff hanger. The first scene is very erotic - a meeting between 2 characters in a dream. There is a small surprise in which you do not know who is human and who is not. Once you truly meet the protagonists, Dezso and Iria, the story becomes a fantasy of good versus evil. Humans are introduced at the end as neutral beings and none are introduced. We meet a clever Uncle, 2 mermaids, a mermaid queen, a dragon and a goddess. There is a continuous battle against evil, using magic, interspersed with the erotic relationship between Deszo and Iria. Their relationship is almost too good to be true and I kept expecting a true test of their perfect love, but none came. The actual throw down between good and evil is a bit of a letdown and over very quickly. There were quite a few dreams to forecast the future and confuse the reader, I think.
> This was a short read, that ends with an obvious opening to continue the plot, but not the story. I really liked the beautiful love story. It was so loving and refreshing to read. Finally, a couple with the utmost respect for each other. I wish the much anticipated battle between good & evil was more of a battle. Iria was learning to physically fight, yet the battle was mostly mind games.

> Lady's Destiny is the first book in "Destiny" serIes, but does not end in a cliff hanger. The first scene is very erotic - a meeting between 2 characters in a dream. There is a small surprise in which you do not know who is human and who is not. Once you truly meet the protagonists, Dezso and Iria, the story becomes a fantasy of good versus evil. Humans are introduced at the end as neutral beings and none are introduced. We meet a clever Uncle, 2 mermaids, a mermaid queen, a dragon and a goddess. There is a continuous battle against evil, using magic, interspersed with the erotic relationship between Deszo and Iria.
