HE HAD SWORN TO TAKE A PROPER WIFE.
HE HADN'T BARGAINED ON MEETING HIS MATCH ...

Nicholas looks very much like what he is --- the handsome, successful heir to a vineyard in Tuscany. But Nicholas is much more, for he is one of the last in an ancient line of satyr men. And the dying king of ElseWorld wants him not only to marry, but to wed one of the king's own daughters --- a half-human, half-faerie woman unaware of her heritage. Nicholas won't shirk his duty to produce heirs to guard his race's legacies, but he never plans to make his bride his only lover. A satyr's sexual hunger and sensual skills are legendary. One woman will never satisfy him.

Or so Nicholas believes until he meets Jane. As spirited as she is fey, as beautiful as she is innocent, she is nevertheless determined to make her new husband hers alone --- and she is eager for him to teach her every deliciously carnal secret he knows ...

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Amber, author of The Lords of Satyr series of hot historical paranormal romance novels: Nicholas, Raine, Lyon, Dominic, Dane, Bastian, and Sevin (2012). I'm a museum junkie and love history and archeology. When I was an art history major at university many years ago, I became fascinated with Greco-Roman artifacts. I’ve visited many archeological sites and museums in Italy and Greece. All those ancient urns, frescoes, and amphorae decorated with lusty satyrs, maenads, and Bacchus (or Dionysus) celebrating the annual grape harvest inspired The Lords of Satyr novels.

First I have to say that this book had potential.


Two c*cks on one guy... yeah, definite potential.


Now, it's not that I'm squemish or anti-weird, well maybe a little, but what killed this one was BAD WRITING.
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



The sex wasn't hot. It so wasn't hot, I didn't even want to read it!!! Everything else was boring to death, and it slowly killed my brain by the time I got to the end of the book.
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



I mean, some of the expressions and the way they talked... Seriously??????? The sexy scenes were so clinical, it's like describing what happens in each scene, without getting any chemistry or sparks or just ANYTHING that would get my juices flowing (sorry for the gross expression but after reading tons of grossines here I just couldn't help it).

There were a few hottish scenes, but they ended up on weird most of the time.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




Now about the story... it didn't make me love the book either because it was non existent!


The hero was an IDIOT through most of the book! Moron to the ultimate level OMG I can't even describe it!!!!!!!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



And the heroine was pretty much stupid as hell. You'll see it all explained next to the quotes. OMG!!!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



BUT, I admit, I CRIED, literally, at some scenes with how much I was laughing :D I guess I'm lucky because I'm able to laugh at weird and icky and eww because this book was FULL OF IT!!!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



In the end, this book left me BRAIN DEAD!!!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us







Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of spoilers!!!!!!!!

Lots of adult and icky and gross quotes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of gifs, I'm sorry but I couldn't help it!!!!!!!!!

...........................................







The last Change of Moonful had gifted him with this new shaft of bone and sinew—this second c*ck ripped from his own flesh. It extended high and hard from his pelvis, and twitched with hunger. Only slightly smaller than the enormous c*ck already rooted just below in his thatch, it craved relief as much as its twin."

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




Like his brothers, he needed two female openings at once for his first mating of this night. His second c*ck required only a single ejaculation and would afterward retreat inside him until next month’s Moonful.

*evil aunt+brother*
He was thick now, hard from seeing their nakedness. She smiled into his eyes, riding him, slowly slicking him with her ooze.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*evil aunt+brother*
...She widened her legs under him and flung her arms to the sides in open invitation. “Come inside me, brother,” she crooned, “and feel the welcome of another man’s cream.”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*evil aunt+brother*
"Her stepbrother’s length swelled and grew more determined within her mouth as she competently sucked him off. Only when his cream finally spurted and dribbled down her throat did she rise and lead him to her bed."

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*His father explaining about sex*
“You’re yet too young for such dalliances, but one day you will experience the overwhelming desire to dip your flesh into feminine honey. You’ll find many obliging women such as yon kitchen maid with whom gentlemen such as ourselves may slake our lust. But her type are so separate a being from those ladies we must marry as to be another species.”
“As a rule, wives welcome their husbands in the marital bed, only as it is their duty to procreate,” his father explained. “A husband’s taking of his wife should be a brief exercise, and she will take no pleasure in it.”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




Upstairs now, he padded down the hall. His nostrils flared as he caught the humid scent of his wife’s blood mixed with her inner fluids and her natural, beguiling scent. His testicles bunched and drew up. Within his trousers, his strangled pr*ck thickened and rose, anticipating.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*Nick cheating in brothel*
“Your wife cannot please you as we can,” Anna taunted from the chaise longue.
Idly he observed that her slack c*nt still pulsed with the most recent orgasm his tongue had provided, while Bella’s well-used slit leaked cream his penis had just deposited.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*Nick being an idiot*
"Having taken his father at his word, it had never occurred to Nick that a gently bred wife might find sexual congress a desirable experience if he took more time with her."

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




"At twilight, he opened the door that adjoined his bedchamber to hers.
Once inside, he stopped short. He caught her scent, yet she wasn’t there. Annoyance assailed him that she was out of her proper place when he was ready for her."

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




“Of course it matters. It was painful to learn of your mistresses, and in such a public way.”
He waved a diffident hand, dismissing her. “I assumed you knew.”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




She wasn’t sure if she could bear to do that special thing with him any longer, knowing he also did it with others.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




No, it was unwise. As things stood, he could visit a different bed each night of the week if he chose and display a different side of his need. But if he revealed the entirety of his carnal desires to the same woman, night after night, she would learn too much of him.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




“I see no profit in continuing this conversation,” he said, adopting a bored, supercilious tone. “I recommend you give up these strange notions and accept the natural way of things.” She raised her chin defiantly. “With me as your servant, and you as my master?” He frowned. “With me as your husband, and you as my dutiful wife. With me employing as many mistresses as pleases me, and with you accepting that my decision is for your own well-being.”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*Nick pretending to be two other men while having sex*
“Am I not fortunate, gentlemen?” Nick asked, fatuous pride evident in his voice. “This is mine to enjoy whenever I wish. Do you not envy me?”
......................................................
“Yes! Please cease this game. Come into me? I beg you.”
“I regret that I cannot,” he commiserated. “Though I desire nothing more fervently than to accommodate your request, you must acknowledge how rude it would appear if I attempt to relieve myself with you while our guests go wanting.”
.......................................................
“But happily, I see Lemieux has a solution to offer. Put your request forward, Lemieux.”
“Avec permission, Monsieur Satyr. May I poke my c*ck inside it?” the French voice asked.
“Ciò è ingiusta! Why should Lemieux do so when I was here first?” Mosca rightly demanded.
........................................................
“Monsieur Lemieux,” Nick continued, his tone now colored with boisterous fellowship. “You may proceed next. Your c*ck is the largest, so I’m sure you’ll understand when I say you may only insert it to a shallow depth on the first thrust.”
“Then may I pump her?” Lemieux inquired.
“You may, but ten times only,” Nick stipulated.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*still pretending*
“Lord Strand,” he finally managed, finding a businesslike tone. “I believe it’s now your turn. And to express my gratitude that you have recently ordered a vast supply of our vintage, I will grant you a special favor. You may put your c*ck inside my mistress and pump her until you’re thoroughly satisfied.”
“Jane, will you invite our favored guest into your body?”
“Certainly,” she agreed with alacrity. “Signore Strand, I would be honored if you would put your shaft inside me.”
Nick patted her ankle. “Your compliance pleases me, Jane.”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




Distantly she noted a new change in his body. The pelt at his groin had spread. A matted, downy fur now covered his haunches and calves. He was as furred as an animal.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




Idly she noted yet another difference against her belly. When she drew back, her eyes widened. His already generous cock had assumed new and slightly monstrous proportions. It had grown at least an inch in length, but its more impressive increase was in its girth.
She cradled it in her palm and found it heavy, smooth. She looked at him in question.
“Another feature of the Calling. I like to think of them as bonus inches,” he teased.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




Scant inches above his c*ck, a second shaft now protruded from the region of his pelvis. It was a duplicate of his other penis, though slightly smaller.
Striated with purpled veins and crowned with plump reddened heads, both c*cks strained eagerly toward her.
A tickle of fear penetrated her slumberous desire. But her need to have him come into her overrode it.
“Do it,” she begged. “Whatever you must do to me, do it. I can’t wait a moment longer to have you.”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




Sometime later, Jane squirmed, her anus involuntarily clenching as his pelvic c*ck receded from her squishy-wet rectum. Now that it had gotten its way, the shrunken c*ck disappeared meekly back into his skin.
His lips brushed her shoulder. “My second c*ck is quenched,” he told her. “It will trouble you no more this night.”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




“Something is—ahh!” An unidentified serpentine instrument had unfurled from below his scrotum to tickle its way inside her anus!
She wiggled her buttocks in confused delight as more of the tonguelike protrusion made its way into her rear entrance.
Catching the scent of their arousal, the tonguelike protrusion slid from her rear portal. It encircled the root of Nick’s c*ck like a curling vine, licking at her vaginal opening as though begging entrance
Nick pushed it away, his expression intent as he concentrated on the pleasure engendered by their mutual orgasm. “Not yet.”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*that's rape, idiot*
“Enough. I will have you with or without your cooperation,” he gritted. “I would prefer the former. Which is it to be?”

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*evil aunt and her deranged friends gang-bang Jane*
Izabel shoved the cylinder between her niece’s legs and inside her, watching her expression closely.
Though Jane’s passage was dry, the beast’s phallus brought forth moisture and engendered instantaneous delight. She arched, groaning. Embarrassed, she looked away from the salacious gazes of the other women.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




*two c*ck sex with the three brothers*
The day had begun so well. How had it come to this—that she found herself alone in a sacred glade with three muscle-bound, lust-crazed, naked men? She shivered.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




Hands stroked her, she knew not whose. Nick and Lyon had returned even while her tissues still pulsed around their brother’s c*cks. Raine stayed firmly nestled within her as three voices joined together in some sort of chanted ritual unfamiliar to her.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us




She could feel each drop of his jism meet and bond with those of his brothers. Three separate masculine potions mixed together within her to form a powerful blend that prolonged her inner convulsions until she found herself sucked into velvet blackness.

That says it all.

This book comes with a warning: This is a REALLY HOT book (sexually explicit). Okay, that’s not what I would have warned for. To save time, I’m just going to number the things that would be more appropriate to have warned the readers about:

1. During the full moon the hero, Nick, has two cocks. Two. Cocks. One, two. Both fully operational. And huge – over 8 inches. Each.

2. True to his name, Nick and his brothers turn into satyrs during the full moon. With fur, possibly hooves.

3. They have sex with non sentient females that service the Satyr and which the author refers to as ‘victims.’

And that ends the prologue.

4. The King of ElseWorld has three daughters but they don’t know he’s their father because he had sex with each of their mothers while they were asleep. This struck me as skeevy. I was wondering if I was just being too critical when I realized that the situation is very similar to a man going to a bar and putting GBH in a woman’s drink and having sex with her. It was just done with magic, rather than a drug. Eeew.

5. The incest theme that runs the whole of the book. Some minor issues include the Satyr brothers having collective orgasms, the heroine Jane’s not-father having a very long term affair with his step sister, and Nick having sex with a prostitute and her possible sister, but I’m letting all that go. Really, by the time I read a hundred pages I was convinced that Nick and Jane would end up being siblings. What I didn’t expect was for Jane having sex sequentially with Nick and his two brothers in their multi-cock state. I don’t know about anyone else but if I never read the words “spurting, warm, brotherly sperm inside her” and “come for me, sister” I’ll be a happier person. Look, I’m as kinky as the next girl, probably kinkier, but I need warnings for some things.

Not worth a warning, but Lords of the Satyr had some very bad mythology. Satyrs have a reputation, well deserved, that a frat house would envy. They are known for their love of sex and wine. (By the way, one thing the author did that I thought was appropriate was to make the Satyr brothers vintners. Of course, actual Satyrs would have a winery with a brothel attached.) Not the heroic, dependable, guard the gates type of mythological creatures, but the author depicts the Satyr brothers as guarding the gates to the ElseWorld. I’m pretty sure you could bribe an actual satyr with a really big jug of good red wine.

WARNING : THIS BOOK HAVE SO MANY ADULT CONTENT. EH, "NICHOLAS" IS EROTICA BOOK AFTER ALL :P. AND (MAYBE) FULL SPOILER

ADDENDUM : Just want to say, thank you! Thank you for all who support me and show their kindness to me. Its hard, yeah, but you all the reason why I love this site =).

I decide to let some monkey loose from the zoo and play with me, to express my feeling about this book.

Nicholas, the first book of Lord of Satyr, feature Nicholas Satyr and Jane Cova..

First, I read this because I'm curious when read some review at GR here. Seems like people both love and hate it, and when someone mention the hero growing 2 cocks at one time, I feel like :


Ehm, okay, I admit I'm interesting and giddy at the same time, don't forget, a lil' bit kinky too *giggling*. Let into the story...

So Nicholas Satyr, is a Satyr. You know Satyr? Magical creature from Greek Myth, who believed as descendant from Bacchuss, God of Wine.



But this satyr of course not like Mr Tumnus at Chronicle of Narnia. Remember this book is erotica, we talk about naughty satyr here.

Nicholas and his brothers, Raine & Lyon is the remained satyr and their life are near extinct. They need a wife to give them heir. Luckily (or unlucky), The Fey King, Fleydon, just sent them letter, said he have 3 illegitimate daughters, the result of his affair with mortal woman. So his daughters are half human and half fey. Fleydon ask Satyr Brothers to search them, then married them , in purpose to protect his daughter from war at ElseWorld (the magical world). Nicholas, Raine and Lyon decided to search their bride, with Nick search first at Italy. And then he meet Jane Cova..

This is when things going AWFUL..
So I will tell you, point per point, since there are so many AWFUL, DISGUSTING, and UNBELIEVABLE moment at this book :

- So finally Nick married Jane. The spitfire Jane, then become meek Jane. She doesn't know what to do at her marriage night, and just remember what her evil aunt said. Nicholas then consumated their marriage, with NOT SO ROMANTIC SCENE EVER!!!! He just grab her, open her leg, apply some cream, then trust to her. No foreplay, no kissing, no hugging. When Nick satisfied, he left Jane to sleep alone. ALONE AND SHE NOT CLIMAXED YET!! And this happen not just once, but twice, and more, and more. I know Jane is virgin and untrained at bed, but what happen to her, is beyond CRUEL!

- Nick and Jane already married like I said before, but that not make Nick forget his debauchery habits!! When he go to other city, he go to brothel, while HIS WIFE WAIT HIM AT HIS HOME!!!! I know at historical era, it's fine a husband have mistress. But heck, I can't accept this infidelity. Not just go to brothel, Nick satisfied his lust with f*cking Shimmerskin, some magical creature, whose unemotional,and can't feeling anything, designed to fulfill Satyrs brother need at The Calling (I will explain The Calling later), and Nick reshaped the Simmerskin like Jane, just because he can't forget his lust to his wife!! Dude, you have your wife at the same home, and you decided to f*ck HER REPLICA????

- Nick and Jane go to some noble party. At that party, Jane see Nick with his two mistress (o_O???), jealous, then told by her aunt, Izabel, that its okay men have mistress, while she remained as dutiful wife. So Jane want Nick to teach her to become his mistress, rather than his wife. When I think , maybe, just maybe things will get interesting, the method Nick using is meh. To pretend as another men when teach your wife is NOT SEXY AT ALL.

- I forget about The Calling. The Calling is an event, held once a month, at full moon. This when Nick and his brothers, have two pen*s. And after he's married, he can mating to Jane, not to Shimmerskin. Jane still not knowing her origin as Fae. And when she have sex with Nick, her nipples is GLOWING!!
O.M.G!! GLOWING BLUE!! I don't know whether I want to laugh or crying.

Not just stop there. When Nick magical manhood disappear, he still have sex with Jane, and he have some serpent-like creature out from his hip! It called The Seeker. If you already read Breed series by Lora Leigh, you know the Breed have some alive barb like? Think Nick's The Seeker like that. That'make me speechless..

- Okay, finally after The Calling, Nick impregnated Jane. And seems like Jane's pregnancies is unusual. When next Calling, Nick of course can't resist the urge to mating with Jane. But wait Jane is pregnant!! And even just 1 month, her belly is so big! But still Nick don't care and f*ck her without mercy! Nick, your wife is PREGNANT! And you don't care with her condition, Jane who afraid she will harm her baby, and you said that's Satyr way!!

And some WTF moment after that, Jane delivered her baby!!! OMG, just one month pregnancies, and she birthing her child!!

Bella Swan and Renesmee Cullen, you have a rival in the town. Their name is Jane Cova with her son, Vincent Satyr

- The climax at this book.... Anticlimax after all. Just Jane's Aunt, Izabel have evil plan, abduct Jane and her child, then die. Just all, ugh. And when Nick decided sharing Jane with his brothers (SAY WHAT???), he got jealous. After so many not romantic scene, he jealous to see his brothers have sex with Jane?.. O.M.G I can't do this anymore. And the final scene, when they got a big problem, the solution just a BIG MEH! And what with war whose Fey King tell about at the first? Nothing, no clue about the War.

And still I read this until finish :facepalm:

I'd read some erotica. Some I really love it, like Sinners on Tour series by Olivia Cunning, or Lauren Dane's Brown Siblings. Some title, I just okay, I know we can't expected some plot when read erotica, just prepare ourselves to read many sex scene. But "Nicholas", is the worse erotica I've ever read.

First, is it erotica romance?. I doubt it, because I can't feel any romance, AT ALL! No from the 1st page, until near the end. When Nick finally said love, it feels like forced.

Two, yes the author can described the culture and historical background at Italy in the 1880 era, then mix it with myth. Her writing is good, I admit it. But it become useless, if the erotica content is UNBELIEVABLE and make you shakes your head or your mind blank, because readers can't proceed what's going on at the story with so many AWFUL moment.

Last, I hate infidelity.That's the bigger reason why I give this just one star. Nick have wife, but what have he done? As husband, he's so cold, distant, and selfish. Just want Jane to produce heir etc, etc. After the end I can't feel the connection between Nick and Jane. I don't care if Nick have 2 gorgeous c*cks. He's the worse hero EVER! And now Nick is dead to me.

I don't know if I want to recommend this to anyone. This book is just awful, disgusting and anticlimax, even for me, who open minded ( I read erotica too, thank you very much). Because some part just pretty AWFUL..

Can you count how many AWFUL I wrote at this review?

I will not bother to read the next...
(and the next book, Raine (The Lords of Satyr, #2) by Elizabeth Amber , have hermaphrodite heroine. 3 is better than 2, eh?)

Note : This book contain anal sex, orgy, incest and f/f scene

I'm not a fast food kind of guy. It's not because I'm a snob about it - I have really trashy tastes and I love the cheap, salty, greasy flavor. But my body has much classier tastes and prefers good food. A couple hours (or minutes) after I eat fast food, I feel vaguely nauseous and lethargic, and the next day sort of hungover. It's just not worth it; sad to say, I'm an insufferable, fine dining, organic food sorta guy. If I want "fast" food, it's taquerias and noodle houses, not restaurant chains. So I save fast food for the semi-annual drives down to visit my family. Like little poison treats. Over the years, I've learned to differentiate and even have favorites.

- In-N-Out is hands down the best, 4 stars.

- Carl's Jr. is likable, especially that chicken sandwich with the green chili on it, 3 stars.

- Jack in the Box has an admirably bizarre and off-putting menu but makes me gassy, 2 stars.

- Everything else is 1 star and must avoid.

- Oh and Arby's is literally hell on earth and sucks your soul out with a plastic straw, but I love the combo of "roast beef" and "horseradish sauce", so 2.5 stars I guess? I think I'll round up. not a bad place to eat, once every year or two.

I'm not an erotica kind of guy. It's not because I'm a snob about it - I have really trashy tastes and I love reading about sex. But my mind has much classier tastes and prefers things that are well-written and have interesting themes and/or deep characterization. After an hour or so of reading most erotica, I feel vaguely nauseous yet also sleepy, in a bored, well I guess it's time for bed I have to get up early sort of way. It's just not worth it; sad to say, I insufferably prefer books that aim higher than getting a response from my crotch. If I want cheap reading thrills, I will go for horror paperbacks or pulp scifi and fantasy because at least the stories absorb me and sometimes the writing is surprisingly stylish. So these days I save erotica for the end of various weird, pointless reading challenges, e.g. "Read 100 books by the end of 2017" or, in this case, "Read 1 romance novel a month in 2018". Like little erotic hail marys. Despite years of fitfully reading erotica, I'm still not sure what I think of the genre or what I actually like.

- Santa Steps Out was incredible, 4 stars, but was that really erotica?

- The Virgin Proxy was fun and actually hot at times and The Flesh Fables was very well-written but more horrific than erotic, 3 stars for both.

- Lord of the Deep was cute and upbeat but also embarrassing, 2 stars.

- Most everything else have been 1 star experiences and will not be reread and certainly have not been added to any spank bank except maybe at a deep subconscious level, I mean who knows, right?

- Oh and then there's this book, Nicholas, which has a Tuscan setting and I'm renting a villa there this summer with friends so that's a fun coincidence and it also has hirsute satyr men despite the hairless cover model and faerie wings being pulled out by a self-hating half-breed and magical brain-numbing nipple rings and dildos made from the sex organs of animals that "died naturally and so throb forever" and evil maenads and death by orgasm and (sorta-)incest of course and sexy pagan lesbianism, that was a happy surprise, and three brothers sharing a wife for magical protection reasons, sure? and mindless sex slaves made from mist so no need to feel guilty 'cause they're not even real and I guess I'm down with that? and weirdly cold, clinically described, very un-erotic sex scenes for the most part and an awkward, rather uncomfortable for me to read but still rather sweetly loving sex-while-pregnant scene followed by an awkward, rather uncomfortable for me to read but still rather sweetly loving NURSING SCENE and surprisingly not-bad prose that didn't make me cringe, oh and A MAGICAL SECOND PENIS THAT POPS OUT FROM OUR HERO'S PELVIS ONCE A MONTH WHICH MY MIND STILL REFUSES TO PICTURE, so 2.5 stars I guess? I think I'll round down. not a bad sort of book to read, maybe once every year or two.

So, I was looking for kinky. But I got weird. And pretty much a dislikable story. A very very eeeewwwww story.
So let us star by talk about the cheating.
Ehm….

I hate cheating!

What is it doing in my erotic fiction? Up until now I found erotica mostly clean of this theme.
Romance authors have a strange fondness for it (abusive parents having abusive children come to mind and make me wonder do the authors of these books have unfaithful men in their lives).
But it seems that cheating in books is like a plague and I am cursed to stumble up on in at all times.

I will not even start about the creepy make believe women. Or what ever they are. Women that the Satyrs can conjure up in their minds. Maybe, just maybe I could have lived them down. (Not really!)
But the hero cheats in a brothel also. Isn’t that nice? Doesn’t it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
No, I didn’t think so.
And all this because his father told him that wives should not have pleasure and not know about their secrets. His father being the man that loved his wife, suffered from not telling her the truth, and fucking anything with a skirt.
I mean it just gets nicer and nicer, right?
His meek little wife also feels guilty for having any pleasure because her aunt told her it is not cool to have it.
Her aunt being the woman fu.ing her brother.
Eeew factor, right? If I had a meter it would have exploded form strain. And this only in the first half of the book!

As they passed the knot garden, Nick recalled his time dallying there with the maid in his youth. His cock twitched. But the workers were about and it was not the time to mate with his wife

So, he got a hard on thinking about having sex with some random girl and that made him want to straddle his wife.
Can you feel the love?
And can you feel my frustration?
I mean let’s face the facts. Erotica does not have to be about love. But don’t make me want to barf all over the hero and his moral.
Well, not even morals. I liked a lot of erotic book where people were very kinky and had small amounts of moral. But here? The hero is just plain unlikable.
And boring.

How can a guy with two penises be boring, any way?

Any how…all this considered-all of his ‘women action’ made him plain distasteful. And very non selective. He states himself in the brothel that anybody could make hem…ehm…hard. So what is to stop him form dallying with anybody at any time in his life?

Next hero, please!
This one is more of a lame lecher.

When we have the party at her aunt scene I was having the biggest frown ever. The hero is fawning over his two courtesans in front of his wife.
I am pretty much sure even his father who ‘showed him the ropes’ did not do that.
One more point toward a lame loser hero!

Plus these brothers are from an other world! The world of fae and mystical creatures…how is it then that Nick is so ignorant of wives and their traits? As in ignorant of the fact that they are women too, and as such can…( omg !) be pleasurable beyond being a stiff board in bed. I would have understood more if he did not want to unleash his beastly pleasures on his wife. Ok, (you creep!) but he seems to think that the wife should have no pleasure. Really? How lame can you be? And plus, it is totally weird in the light of the fact that a) their whole nature revolves around the lusty and b)he satisfies even the whores.

So in the other half of the novel, oh joy, our hero is giving all of his attentions to his wife. A total turn about and not very well written one at that.
Here we find an other supposedly kinky detail- blue glowing nipples.
*Laughs around until her tummy hurts*
Blue…glowing…nipples…!!!!Man! GLOWING NIPPLES!!! Welcome to Vegas baby!
Hahahaha….
So not sexy! But not in a disgusting way. No…more in a-are you serious?- Way.
:)

Lets us tray this way ‘Signore Mosca you may lick my tette’
I would have giggled if not for the fact that her husband is just teaching her how to be hospitable toward other gentlemen as a good mistress should. :/ Yuck. And what can be more yuckie that this? Why, her husband having a whole three person imaginary conversation with voice change involving her pleasuring two gentlemen that are his guests. How…stupid!

Arggggh! This whole book is just so stupid!
Yes, that was what I exclaimed while reading. I exclaimed it many many times.
Almost as many as oh…ewww, how strange.
I lived trough his …slithering what ever that went from his balls on the night of the full moon.
I lived trough her one month pregnancy.
But when his son could not conjure up milk on his first breastfeeding and then the hero pulled at the nipple until he tasted milk…omg! What an eeeeeeeeew!
Dear mothers, would you let the father of your child to do that?
I think not!

I can not pin-point the moment the book went from bad to worse…maybe it was when all the crazy cult women entered the scene. Or them being ok when their nipple ring thingies were removed. Maybe when the heroes brothers had sex with his wife in order for her to ‘be safe’. Or the fast forward end with the fatal but finally cured pox on the grapevines. But how ever you look at it this book was purely not worth the time I invested in it, because there is kinky and there is disturbing. There is fast action and there is multiple plot devices crammed together to resemble a fantasy adventure.

All in all-horrible.

This got published?

And it's a series! With seven books!

If each male character has two penises that's an odd equation.

2 x X= a lot of penises.

This was definitely an interesting concept--although I am not certain there was enough of an actual plot to hold my interest for an entire series.

After reading some of the reviews from other readers, I was expecting this really kinky-freak show book and I have to say I was a little scared. On page 2 we learn that the Satyrs have 2 cocks--one for each opening. The 2nd penis that is meant for the anus only comes out to play once a month--for 1 release during the full moon. Okay, so that is weird. Early on, we also learn that the man Jane has known as her father is having having a twisted sexual relationship with his step-sister and has been since puberty. The step-sister, Izabel is involved in some sort of cult that kidnaps, tortures and has sex with and then murders teenage boys--the group has an evil plan to destroy the Lords of Satyr. Oh and before they have sex with the boys, the women--5 or 6 total-have an orgy with each other. I was a little confused about how the evil women plot aspect really fit into the story. It just didn't go with the story very smoothly. It just felt like the author was just throwing in some strange sex scenes for shock value. Let's not forget that Nick--the Satyr husband of Jane decides to "share" her in a coupling with his brothers in order to help protect her from harm--during sex a bond is created that will let the brothers know if she is in danger.

All in all, it wasn't all that erotic or interesting and it ended kind of abruptly. I am not sure if I will be continuing with the series.

Take my review with a grain of salt. I'm very kinky and thus the book couldn't shock me....well other than the 2 phalluses i was warned about. Which i thought of as a plus. If one can bring pleasure then wouldn't 2 be even better?

If you don't mind spoilers i suggest you read this review here first: http://www.ripmybodice.com/2009/07/23...

If you are not a little pervy like myself. *chuckles* Then i suggest this review by my friend Isis first: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...


My take on this book? I think if you're in the mood for a historical(bodice ripper), BDSM with no pain but more of a sub/master theme. Then this book is just the right one for you. Is the story highly developed? I would say it's simple, to the point that sometimes i felt the plot became a bit ridiculous. Still i enjoyed it, laughed and rolled my eyes all throughout.

The hero/heroine? The roles played were a bit cartoonish at times. For example, the heroine sensed one person was not to be trusted yet she would reveal herself to this person time and time again. I kept shaking my head at the absurdity of it all. The hero was not too bright either, i mean really couldn't you just sat her down and explain "the ways of the Satyr" to her now that she knows? Like some idiotic man; he would leave things for last minute, and wondered why she would be hesitant to follow blindly at whatever he sprang up? Get a clue, it's called communication!

Very strange book and definitely one that requires an open mind to read. The book is an odd combination of historical romance, fantasy, and erotic romance that makes it unique from most other books. Even though fantasy/paranormal isn't something I generally read, I have to applaud the author's creativity in writing this book.

Nicholas is the first book in the Lords of Satyr series which is about, initially, 3 brothers who are half-Human and half otherworldly. They live on a large vineyard in Tuscany and hide their true selves. But then a letter from the ElseWorld comes from the King, saying he was dying and confessing that years earlier he had secretly sired three half-Human daughters. He tells the Satyr brothers to find the women and marry them, thereby giving them the Satyr protection. The brothers are reluctant, but know the have to do it. Nicholas is the first to go after his future bride.

He finds Jane in disguise at a fair, telling fortunes to earn money. Jane has no idea she is only half-Human, but she hates the weird abilities she has. She is trying to save money to run away her bad home life with her little sister. Then Nicholas offers her marriage, and though doesn't understand why, she agrees as long as her sister can come too. Once they're married, the two have to deal with the secrets between them (that of their true natures) and face the issue of marriage and sex. Jane does not want her husband to have mistresses...but if that's what she wants, then she must give in to his more debauched nature in order to satisfy him. And they must also deal with a threat against their lives.

Saying this book is odd is a pretty big understatement. There's a little bit of everything with the historical aspect, the romance, the fantasy, the eroticism. It's definitely not a book for those of you who prefer more typical books and don't like to stray from the norm. And the sexual aspect is very high. This book has more than a little kink in it. It's not for the feint of heart.

Aside from all that...well, it's hard to say I really like this book. I liked it to a point, but mostly I thought it was interesting because it was such an anomaly. It's very creative and unique and even if the type of story isn't entirely my thing, I appreciated the story the author told.

I did wish the romance angle was a bit stronger. Any sort of romantic feelings got almost entirely bogged down in the secrets the characters were hiding and all the sex. I thought there could have been a stronger emotional connection between Nicholas and Jane.

The book engaged me enough, though, that I look forward to reading the next in the series. Should be interesting to see how things go for the other 2 brothers and what kind of story the author weaves for them.

WARNING, this book contains: very explicit sex and language, males who sprout a second penis once a month and use them both at once on a woman, anal sex, oral sex, toys, one group sex scene, f/f group sex not involving the heroine, non-consensual f/f involving the heroine, a semi-incestuous relationship between secondary characters...and well, you get the point ;)

Wow....I consider myself a very open-minded reader. I’ll accept damn near anything as long as it’s written well. This book is out there; I don’t think I have ever read anything like it.

Spoilers ahead ....

I think where the author went wrong was trying to incorporate too much fucked up stuff in one book. It has some pretty explicit stuff, but at the same time... most of it is very unsexy.

First, Jane the h is super uptight the first 1/2 of the book so their sex sucks, and we have to read about Nick the H fucking and sucking other women. Where we get romantic gems like this...

“Nick stood from the chaise lounge upon which he had most recently fucked Bella while sucking at her companions slit”
...And...

“Idly he observed that her slack cunt still pulsed with the most recent organs [sic] his tongue had provided, while Bella’s well-used slit leaked cream his penis had just deposited”

Yep, that’s super-hot right? Putting his mouth on a prostituted nasty gaping snatch. Yuck!

Finally at about 60% the magic starts happening. Uptight Jane doesn’t want Nick to have mistresses, so she agrees to fulfill all his carnal desires. Once a month Nick has 2 dicks, yep, two. She has to down a special brew to get in the mood to loosen herself up ... after round 1, she needs more brew because come on two cocks is a lot to take. Before getting started, she decides to lick his “pelvic /once a month cock” that was just probing her ass...?? Again ... yuck... not sexy

“Sometime later, Jane squirmed, her anus involuntarily clenching as his pelvic cock receded from her squishy-wet rectum.”

In addition to his “pelvic cock” he also had a serpentine instrument called “the Seeker” that snakes out of his balls and goes up her ass and vag to clean/fix her up.

Later, Nick decides the only way to keep her safe is to share her by letting his two brothers have sex with her with their two cocks. It’s a Satyr thing:) I’m open minded, but she didn’t want to do it, she slams her cup and cries, but he doesn’t care and pretty much bullied her into it... not cool Nick...not cool.

Not to mention “with a bellow, he creamed, spurting warm, brotherly semen inside her” is just ridiculous :)

Bottom line, this was just a little too stupid for me to enjoy. There was 1 or 4 too far-out things for me, and the plot was ridiculous.

I really don't even know where to start with this review. The whole concept was quite fantastical. I apologize for the lack of writing, but I'm not sure how to even begin describing this book, not to mention I'm sick right now, so it'll mostly just be a visual representation of my thought-process throughout the book.

Within the first few pages we have a lovely introduction to the dual-membered satyr species. Yes, you read that right. Two c*cks.



But it's okay ladies, the second one only comes out on the full moon (The Calling) and then disappears back into his nether regions after it's been spent once.

The satyr must then find one of 3 fairy sisters and marry her in order to save her from some unknown danger, a request made by the sisters' dying fairy father.

Then let's mix in a little step-sibling hanky panky, an unsexy and uncomfortable wedding night, and a really creepy role-playing game that stretched on waaaaaaaaaaaay longer than necessary.

I didn't know if I could read any more after that.



But I could...and I did....

Oh....and did I mention that they have their own dildos made of real animal parts? And even better....if the animals aren't killed but die naturally, then their c*cks will vibrate!!!!!!



Now don't get too excited because if you leave it in for too long, you will succumb to death by never-ending orgasm.



*sigh* I know.

Then...in order to keep Jane safe while he is away, Nick's brothers need to bond with her too so that they may sense when she is in danger. And how else can they do that but to participate in a 4-way, 6-c*ck, furry satyr orgy during the Calling!!!



At that point, I'd have turned on my heels and run the hell away...



Not that I'd ever get to that point in the first place....

I'll be nice and add 1/2 star to my rating due to the entertainment value it provided during the buddy read. Twilight has it's sparkly vampires. The Satyrs have their fairies whose nipples glow blue with arousal.



This book was a fun buddy read that was definitely good for more than a few laughs, but that's the only niche this book will be filling in my literary world.

Why I read: Author asked for a review, and I have noticed this cover many times.

Favorite Quote: this second cock ripped from his own flesh. It extended high and hard from his pelvis, and twitched with hunger. Only slightly smaller than the enormous cock already rooted just below in his thatch, it craved relief as much as its twin. (<---people, we are talking double dong delight here!)

Lord Nicholas Satyr grows a second penis every month at the full moon – let’s just get that bit of information out of the way. He must have sex at this time, so with his Elseworld magic, he conjures up a shimmerskin (a pretend lady) and double penetrates her. Once his second penis fulfills itself, it retracts and then we are just back with penis number one.

King Feydon of Elseworld is dying, and on his deathbed tells Nicholas that he has sired three daughters with human mothers, and they are now adults and have no idea what their actual heritage is. He begs Nick and his brothers Lyon and Raine, to seek out these three women, and marry them – to save them so their magic does not alert humans. The Satyr’s protect their sacred land, and will go to any cost to keep it from the watchful eyes of the humans.

Meanwhile, Jane is living a semi-normal life. All appears normal to her family, except she knows she has secrets. She works as a fortune teller, saving money to one day escape with her sister to a secluded place where no one will notice something is different with her. When Nicholas tracks her down and out of the blue asks for marriage, she sees this as an easy escape.

Jane’s mother is gone, and her father is a drunk. Her aunt makes all decisions for her family and eagerly accepts this marriage. Her aunt has motives of her own – evil plans that will soon try to destroy what will become between Jane and Nicholas.

After the marriage, virgin Jane is thrust into the marriage bed – one she finds no pleasure in. Nicholas is taught from an early age, wives are for procreating, mistresses are for everything else. Jane is shy and timid, and confused about her new role. She has a lot to learn about Nicholas, and her secret creates anxiety that she doesn't know what to do with. Nicholas has secrets of his own – ones she will find out on the next full moon.

Nicholas leaves me disappointed. Being a paranormal book, I honestly could care less about the two wienies or anything else supernatural that sprouts up. Nicholas starts off cold and very detached, and I am all for a hero who doesn’t turn into a bumbling mound of mush overnight. I like that Nicholas remains aloof and very cold around his new wife. In the first dozen or so sexual encounters Jane has with Nick, they are not pleasant for her. She is a virgin coming into the marriage and it really shows. And with what Nick has been taught with how to treat a wife, their sexual encounters are very robotic and stiff. Nicholas knows he can only get Jane with child on the full moon – and he eagerly seeks out women to fulfill his more dirty desires. That is until Jane finds out…she wants to be his only one. Nicholas is willing to try, and he soon learns his wife can more than fill his needs.

During these lessons where Nicholas teaches Jane how to please him in bed, I just didn’t get the attraction. I never felt him warm. I never felt admiration or even love between these two. He is awful to her – this is a romance book, right? Just a little is all I am asking for and instead we get cold and abrasive.

Besides the sex, there is quite an evil villain. One that turned my stomach by her acts and brought a lot of tension to the story. Even though it is fun to giggle at the double penis, I would have enjoyed it much more if I would have felt more of a love story between the hero and heroine. Instead, Nicholas makes me uncomfortable and I did not find romance.

I'm going to start off by saying I had big hopes for this book, and maybe that's why it seems like it fell short. I did like it. I didn't love it. There could've been a great story in this book, with lots of action and interesting characters, and instead we got a book that revolved around sex. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the sex scenes as much as the next person but I like to read a bit more of a storyline, and I'm really put off when the big dying problems of the world are solved with just having sex *eye-rolling moments*. At the beginning of the book Jane seemed to have a spine, and then all of a sudden I felt like she was a different person, so scared and submissive. Nick was too attached with the way his father had instructed him to be that he couldn't let himself care for his wife. But in the end he did fall in love with Jane. And I actually liked the fact that it took that long for him to fall in love with her instead of "love at first sight" because of the Kings' wishes.

On a side note, this was a very sensual book, even though some of the scenes felt forced and without much enjoyment. And I was a bit disturbed with the Aunt's sex scenes (did NOT need to read about those). I was not too happy to read about the Sharing either, which I found was totally unnecessary in the end. Maybe it'll prove a point in the next book.

I think it's great that the author kept this book very accurate to the times, when it comes to culture, customs, behavior, etc.

I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series, and hopefully the *war* in ElseWorld will bring a better story.

This was my first read by this memorable writer, Elizabeth Amber but it won't be my last! My goodness, Amber has a way with words, she can really write and well!

Nicholas was everything you would expect in the alpha males of old and my goodness was he very, very, very , very.... sexual. The heroine, Jane was a great character as well!

Read this one but read it slowly. I read so many of the sentences two, three times to make sure that Amber didn't threw me with her blunt and erotic words. Oh, yell--- keep a large glass of water near by too....lol

Interesting information about Satyrs from Dr. Karl Shuker:
"As described time and again in mythology and folklore, satyrs were infamously lewd and lustful, never happier than when, fuelled by copious quantities of wine, they were in lecherous pursuit of some hapless nymph to ravish."

I won't lie and say I heard amazing things about this book so I had to read it. Quite the opposite actually. I saw one review in particular that caught my attention, a really bad one. This person seemed truly horrified after reading this book. So after being intrigued by the synopsis, I bought this book to make my own opinion.

I don't really know what I expected but I do know that I loved this story.

I made the mistake of believing this reviewers opinion to be fact! I quickly learnt that the ways Nick behaved that offended this person so much, did not bother me at all. I realised that this book wasn't going to be anything like I had previously thought.

Nicholas:
Ok, so in the beginning Nick was a bit of an asshole. That I totally agree with.
"As her husband, he would mate her only as often as duty required. In turn, she would produce his children and not object when his cock saught true satisfaction away from her bed."

I can see why some people would be annoyed, no matter how you dress it up... he is cheating on his wife. I however, am on his side. That's was how he was raised (by his father) to believe you should treat your wife. He also feels guilty now. The way he questions his own guilt shows us that he is learning to change and is slowly making progress.

I loved Jane. Questioning the marriage contract and putting her foot down with Nick. No more mistresses. She is so brave. Being totally inexperienced and offering herself completely to Nick. Trusting him enough not hurt her and to teach her everything he wants her to know. Some of the things she did with Nick would be hard on someone with years of experience, she's my hero. LOL

What the hell was wrong with her 'aunt' Lizzie? She was one of the most dispicable characters I have ever seen. Randomly sleeping with loads of women. Capturing, drugging and abusing those poor men. Having a sexual relationship with her half-brother. Killing his wife, asking her neice's husband to impregnate her and stealing a baby. Need I go on? And come on...death by dildo? That's some freaky shit! lol.

I loved the difference between Raine and Lyon. Raine is a lot more clinical. He just get's the job done. Even in sex, he seems to be calm and controlled.
Whereas Lyon is the joker. He has a great sense of humour and takes real joy in his life. We also got a small glimpse of him during sex and it's obvious he has some serious experience. He takes just as much time to make sure his lover is pleased. I love him!

I could talk forever about the in's and out's of this book. It was nothing like I expected but in an incredible way. I loved learning the Satyr mythology and getting to know the immediate characters. And the sex was amazing ;)
I think it's safe to say I cannot wait to read the next book.

Full disclosure - I bought this book only because I was told there would be sex with two dicks on a man. I have this little fetish for men endowed with two dicks. Did Nicholas satisfy my craving for two double penetration by one man? Fuck no. Nicholas is a heavy handed inconsiderate asshole. I don't like him. Yes, he may be sexier than hell and boy can he fuck like a Satyr, but he has the personality of a mo-fo. His lack of ability to communicate with his wife has a direct correlation with his father's own fucked up relationship with Nicholas' mother. Frankly, I'm disgusted and appalled. Nicholas' callous attitude of having mistresses while his wife, Jane, is trying to find her sexuality just revolts me.

Thank goodness Jane has a brain. She does her best with the bad hand she's dealt. Her biological father was a deadbeat. Her acknowledged father is a drunken sister fucker. Her husband has the emotional development of a 2 year old. In fact, I can't see that a single male in this book has any redeeming qualities. I'm thinking Ms. Amber doesn't like men. Or she views them in a very poor light to paint all of this as basically blundering fools who can't communicate to save their life.

Now, at this point, my dear friends reading my review will say, how the hell did BA give this book a 3 star? She hated it. I didn't hate it. I was irritated with the characters. I think they were designed the way they were so that the story conflict would work. As a writer's technique, this is not the one I enjoy. However, I do give Ms. Amber credit in that she wrote a good story with infuriating characters. Her plot moved well as did her character creation. Honestly, the kinky sex is really what saved this book for me. Plus the fact that I want to learn more about this Elseworld. Ms. Amber created an interesting world that I'm looking forward to learn more. I'm hoping for the next books to have characters I will be more amicable towards. Lest anyone thinks this book is filled with depraved debauchery, BA style, I'd like to state it isn't. It is kinky fun with a bit of sharing - nothing intense and definitely no non-con. I recommend this paranormal romance readers who enjoy the "Victorian" male mindset thrown in with a bit of kinky eroticism.

I'm tossing up between three and four stars for this book. It was well written and had a fairly fast pace, though there were a few loose threads at the end. I found the scenes after they marry, towards the beginning, very un-erotic - the whole "lie back and think of England" thing always makes me seethe, and I kept hearing John Cleese from The Meaning of Life in my head saying "A kiss, boy! What's wrong with a kiss?" Nicholas could have learnt a thing or two from Monty Python that's for sure. Like a sense of humour.

But it did get more interesting about half-way through. In general the plot was fun but a bit weak - my problem with erotica is that it's often just a series of sexy scenes tied together with a thin storyline. Thankfully, Jane isn't entirely insipid, and I like her gift with plants. The dialogue never sounded forced, and it didn't read tacky like some romance and erotica books do. I wouldn't mind giving the next one a go, but if it follows the same pattern as this one I'll be disappointed.

3 ½ stars. Story was ok, slightly above average, but one sex scene was unforgettable.

I read this about five years ago. Since then, every once in a while, one sex scene would come to mind, but I could not remember what book it was from. Recently I asked Smart Bitches Trashy Books for help. They have a section called Help A Bitch Out (HABO) asking their readers for answers. They figured it out right away. I was so pleased.

I don’t know why that scene was so unforgettable, but here it is. Nicholas marries Jane. He believes a wife does not enjoy sex and should be used only for breeding. On their wedding night and subsequent nights he uses a cream to allow quick sex and then leaves her bed. When she discovers he is seeing other women, she offers to provide that service if he will instruct her. He agrees to try. He blindfolds her and ties her to a bed. He then pretends to be three different men with conversations about doing things to her. For example: Signore Mosca would like to do this to you. Will you let him? That scene with pretend multiple men is what stuck in my head for five years and is why I rounded to 4 stars.

Nicholas is half human half satyr. On full moons his body grows a second appendage, which means both rear door and regular are being filled by him during sex. This book is full of sex, about 33 scenes. I found all of this interesting, but it wasn’t the hottest. I want more emotional connection with sex, but this was ok. There is self pleasuring and group sex. There is one scene with several women pleasuring each other and raping a man. There is also incest.

Story wise it was interesting. It had decent plot. But it wasn’t the most engaging. It could have used more conversation and relationship development.

DATA:
Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 319 pages. Swearing language: mild. Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: about 33. Setting: 1823 mostly Tuscany, plus Tivoli and Rome, Italy. Copyright: 2007. Genre: erotic paranormal historical romance.

For a first time author I give it 5 out of 10 stars on the erotica scale.

This story is set during 1823 Italy, and was only slightly kinky having the unique concept that an Italian Satyr during the height of the full moon is in procession of a double phallus. I’ll let your imagination work out what uses that’s for. {snicker} There’s only one scene in the book pertaining to bondage and it’s only lightly touched on more along lines of love play. Adult toys, of a sort, were only briefly mentioned and used. The only part of the book that drew my interest is when Nick takes his wife Jane during “The Calling” (or full moon) for the first time and then towards the end of the book when Nick and his brother satyrs’ Raine and Lyon all three take Jane one after another during “a calling.”

The story ran slow in spots and several characters weren’t given an adequate explanation as to their background and their purpose other than to pose some kind of nebulous threat. All in all, I have high hopes for the second book in the series “Raine” coming out Feb. 26, 2008. Hopefully with one book under her belt she’ll be more adventuress with the next.

Let me start out by saying that this book is unusual. I was expecting that because of the reviews, however It was different than I expected.

I would almost put this book in the historical romance genre before erotica, although there are some definite erotic points in this book. It focuses on 3 Satyr brothers who must find 3 half- blood Faerie woman and marry them to offer them protection from otherworldly bad guys! This focuses on Nicholas finding Jane and their love story. There is some hot sex... some "sharing" action and various other "interesting" physical developments.

I agree with Laura, that the "evil" aunt and father storylines are a bit tiresome, and they do resolve themselves fairly well in the end.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, but Im not quite sure whether or not I should read the next one in the series... I'll read everyones reviews before I decide.

Different but not great.

SUMMARY.
The story is set in Tuscany where Nicholas (half-man and half satyr) receives a message from King Feydon, he decrees that each brother marry one of the three human-faerie daughters he sired on visits to the earth world. Each daughter requires shielding from forces which threaten her and each will find protection as the wife of a Lord of Satyr so it's imperative they are found quickly. The brothers live on estates that surround their winery business and they decide that Nicholas will go first to find his woman. Jane has no interest in marrying - at least not until she can find a cure for her `oddity.' She can read people by touching them and is growing wings.She's completely unaware of the truth that she is a Fey, she also has a manipulative aunt and drunken father.

Nicholas and his brothers being satyr's change at each new moon and their sexual appetite heightens and they grow an extra penis and have sex all night with shimmerskins (pretend women?) There are plenty of sex scenes but I found most of them surprisingly uninteresting. There was no chemistry between the characters and I don't know how to explain it except I never got that tingle I usually get when reading hot scenes.

The characters are genuinely memorable and the story different but sometimes bordered on plain silly. Nicholas said "its the satyr way" so often it got annoying and I still don't know what Janes wings are for? I think I have another of this series so will probably read it but I am not expecting the author to redeem herself. I Would recommend G. A. Aiken Dragon series if you want erotic fantasy men

I couldn't finish it.

Sure the two penises were cool. The prologue was great! Then the first of the story started....loads of purple prose and dragging scenes (possibly due to the purple prose) became too much for me.

The characters' language was difficult to stick with at times.

the heroine for me was uninteresting.

The hero mildly interesting...and he had two big ones...yet...a tad bit boring.

:-(

I really wanted to enjoy it, but I didn't.

I still say give the book a chance. The author definetly has an amazing imagination.

Hot!! Very unusual ideas (where did EA come up with this stuff?!), good historical setting and inventive plot. Sex is mostly m/f involving main characters Nicholas and Jane, but there is some menage involving Nicholas and Jane and other males. Also a small amount of f/f involving the villainess. This has some paranormal, but it's not vampire.

I recommend it if you like Jaid Black, Emma Holly, Robin Schone.
