There’s a reason this book has a red cover – it SIZZLES HOT enough to burn my fingers. In my review of Amber’s first book NICHOLAS I remarked that I hoped she would let her imagination loose. She definitely DID NOT DISAPPOINT.

Be warned if your tastes in erotica don’t run to the abnormal skip this book. On the other hand if you enjoy reading about double phallused satyrs and their hermaphrodite FaerieBlend brides, then you’re in for a real erotic treat.

Raine is the middle Satyr brother who finds his half-Fey mate, Jordan, in Venice. She was born with both male and female sex organs (yup, no kidding), and lived the first 19 years of her life as a man, so her mother could inherit her father’s wealth when he died (a daughter couldn’t back then, so they would have been impoverished). But Jordan has always felt more female than male inside, which Raine immediately recognizes. He falls hard for her, and they begin a very erotic relationship.

What do I say about this one?? This is the most erotic, weirdest book I have ever read. Okay that being said it was a good story don't get me wrong but...... Whoa!!! Yes I agree the cover needs to be red but really flaming, scarlet red. It actually took me 4 days to read this and I am still wondering about what the other 2 would be like. If you are not into heavily, descriptive erotic novels, do not buy this book. But if you are, you will enjoy it

Wow! Talk about an unusual book! I am actually surprised that I enjoyed this one so much, but I recommend reading it if you read Nicholas (the first book) already. Its way better than the first one!

I read this as a reviewer and loved it. It's book 2 in this trilogy about half-satyr (in myth, satyrs were followers of the wine god Bacchus) brothers who own a vineyard in Tuscany and receive a letter that sends them in search of fairy brides.

Nicholas went to Rome, but Raine finds his VERY UNUSUAL bride in Venice.

Very sexy, explicitly erotic, great historical and winemaking details included. Good detail and an interesting, dramatic story.

Raine is the second book of the trilogy of The Lords of Satyr by Elizabeth Amber and one I had been anxiously awaiting. This book was definitely worth the wait!

This book was definitely worth the wait! Each story focuses on one of the three brothers, the last Lords of the Satyr and the trials they go through to find their half fairy mates in an effort to protect their secrets and their lives.

After a horrific first marriage the last thing Raine wants is another wife. But he must follow the wishes of King Feydon and find his mate. He travels from his home in Tuscany to Venice for a conference on a disease affecting Europe’s grape vines but inadvertently comes across a glorious enigma. Of course she turns out to be the one for whom he has been searching, he just doesn’t know it yet.

Jordan dreads her birthday. Every year she spends it suffering and away from her loved ones and every year she hopes it will be different. She gets her wish when she meets up with Raine. After she experiences a night of passion beyond her wildest imaginings she finds that her entire world has changed.

Raine takes Jordan to the Satyr Estates in Tuscany and brings her to his home intending on marrying her as is duty but he tries to ensure she doesn’t get too close. Jordan would like nothing more than the love of this man and a family but she can’t bring herself to subject him to the scandal if her secrets are revealed. Raine is tormented by his sexual feelings – thinking them too savage to unleash upon anyone.

True to Nicholas, the first book in the series, Raine and Jordan go through much adversity to find their way to love and it is one amazingly erotic trip. None of the Satyrs will ever need a “little blue pill” and Jordan is Raine’s equal in sexual appetite.

Jordan is an incredibly strong female lead and can hold her own against the dynamic Raine. The suspense, erotic love scenes and magic of this book will not disappoint.

Set in the Regency Era it is fantasy and erotica all rolled into one splendid package tied with a huge red bow. So pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back and relish the opening of this present delivered by Elizabeth Amber. You won’t want to miss one passionate word.

Though it is the second book in the series and can stand one its own I would encourage you to read Nicholas as well. Lyon the third brother’s story will be out in October of this year and I can’t wait. The Lords of Satyr series will find a permanent place on my bookshelf to be read and re-read, these characters too wonderful to let loose.(less)

This book pushes the erotic boundaries in that the heroine is one of the most unusual ones I've read. Once again, this author has surprised me and she continues to write well.

The story is about acceptance and has a good plot complete with bad guys from ElseWorld trying to get the heroine, and it continues the storyline about the grapevines being under threat.

Then again, if you "survived" the first book in this series, then you're probably already along for the crazy, crazy ride of crazysauce on the crazytrain. I mean, I've been in a month-long reading slump, and the one book that snaps me out of it is an erotic romance involving a double-cocked half-satyr and a half-fae hermaphrodite*? WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT ME?

In all seriousness, though, I'm once again amazed at how Ms. Amber takes such an "out-there" premise and makes it work, mostly. You'd think that the only appeal in something like this would be the fetish-value, but there's actual plot and character development here. I absolutely loved how she handled Jordan and the whole hermaphrodite plot. It was done really well, touching on the incredibly uncomfortable (massive understatement) aspects of being "scientifically observed," as well as the emotional conflicts *and* the erotic aspects of having fully-functioning male and female sexual anatomy (hey, it's an erotic fantasy series - emphasis on fantasy). I love that she was such a strong, well-rounded character - that really took something that would have otherwise come off as a kink/fetish and made it into a true character, if that makes any sense.

Unfortunately, much like the first book in this series, the story sort of meandered a little too much, then failed to really cash in on the plot potential. And there was a LOT of plot potential. The deranged, syphilis-ridden, stalk-tastic bishop? The sudden random cameo of Raine's mother? Jordan's off-kilter mother? The doctor? All of these things seemed to be leading the reader down a very plotty, dark road. And then... it just kind of fell apart and got hand-waved in the end. Ultimately, it felt like the author had too much going on and had to rush the ending to either fit it within a wc limit, or meet a deadline.

That said, I'm totally going to keep reading this series.

*While I realize that the "real-world" correct term is "intersex," in the case of this fantasy series, "hermaphrodite" is arguably referring to the mythical creature. Not to mention, the term is historically-appropriate for the setting of this book. (less)

She also knows I've lost a lot of interest in the paranormal romance genre because few authors have done anything new. When she mentioned the premise of this novel, I decided to give it a shot.

Raine is the second book of Elizabeth Amber's Lords of Satyr series. Normally I don't mind series books when written by authors I know and trust, but I don't particularly like feeling that I HAVE to read a previous novel in order to understand the next one. My reading habits tend to be all over the board and I may be in a mood for something else.

I give Ms. Amber major kudos (and three stars) for creating probably one of the most arresting heroines in romance fiction--a female hermaphrodite named Jordan who has lived her life as a male in order to save her mother and herself from poverty. Jordan also happens to be half-fae, the daughter of King Feydon (no pun intentional I hope). I found Jordan's transition between her femininity and her masculinity fascinating--she liked being a woman, wearing all the fripperies and frills and being viewed as desirable, and yet attempting to understand all the social strictures forced upon women. Over time, she also learned to accept her maleness and to celebrate it.

My three big issues with the book: The first two chapters could have been so much better had they been less graphic. They totally detracted from the true horror of Jordan's predicament, which the author cited as her inspiration for Jordan's character. Every year as payment, Jordan is subjected to the equivalent of a medical sideshow, in which the scientifically curious and the downright prurient can witness firsthand what a female hermaphrodite looks like. The "examination" was written like a cross between a teen sex flick and a really bad gynocological exam. There was nothing the least bit erotic about such a display; the wince factor was quite high. I think back to Anne Rice's Cry to Heaven--the reader didn't get the full treatment of how the castrati were made, but all the same, the horror, anger and pain were skillfully conveyed. Sometimes, less is more, though my guess is the author wanted to make the reader sympathetic to Jordan's plight.

Second issue: Raine as uber-alpha is boring. He's rich, he's handsome, got lots of land in which he and his brothers raise some of the best wines in Italy. He's well-equipped, ad nauseum. He's also the second brother out of three who has to marry one of Feydon's faerie daughters. Oh, and he turns into a satyr during the full moon, which gives him an extra piece of equipment which is also well-favoured. Other than that, he scowls a lot and makes love like a male stud on overdrive. However, his one BIG saving grace is that he accepts Jordan's difference without question and one scene in particular gave me nice goosebumps, since he didn't seem to mind pleasuring Jordan's other appendage (although the last dream sequence in which he *bottoms* for Jordan is a complete cop-out). Still, there's precious little depth to him as a character.

Third issue: The oversexed priest who lusts after Raine and is also a venereal-disease carrying serial killer. An over-the-top mix of Jack the Ripper and Freddy Krueger dressed in a cassock, this guy deserved his comeuppance just because he spent so much time being a thoroughly annoying villain who couldn't quite get it together. It seemed the author didn't quite know what to do with him, so at the last she made him the mysterious "cousin" Jordan's mother cheated out of his inheritance.

Overall, this isn't a bad book, though the hermaphrodite heroine isn't going to be a traditional romance reader's cuppa.

Everything flowed and it didn't feel like anything was stuck in only for its content - in Nicholas, some of the more unconventional sex scenes felt like they were added just to have the content and not to actually develop the story.

Three brothers have been tasked with finding the Fairy King's daughters and marrying them to keep them safe from harm. Raine the second brother is already scarred from an unsuccessful first marriage that failed because of his ravenous sexual appetite. Needless to say he is definitely reluctant when it comes to finding the King's daughter. He finds her in Venice, Italy. Jordan has been raised as a man. She is the most unusual person because she actually has both male and female genitalia. When Raine sets eyes on her Jordan can't believe that a man can look at her as a woman when most of her life she has only been known as a man, especially when deep down inside intrinsically she knows she is a woman regardless of her mysterious sexuality.

I must admit when I first heard about this book I was intrigued. I mean who wouldn't be a little bit curious about a female character that has both a vagina and a penis! I went into this book knowing that it would be outrageous. Knowing that, this book did have its moments when it came to ridiculousness, but I didn't feel that Jordan's sexuality was one of them. What I had a problem with were the so called "bad guys". I just hate it when the bad guys get a lot of page space in a book. That is exactly what happened in Raine and I couldn't stand to read the demented ravings of the enemy. In this case there wasn't just one but two.

I did like Jordan's character and her internal struggle with whether or not she was a man or a woman. There were facets to her personality that suggested she enjoyed playing both parts. I was disappointed though with the conclusion to the story. Jordan and Raine have a major confrontation at the end of the book and I don't feel like things were resolved between them satisfactorily. I felt that Raine owed Jordan a huge apology because of that fight and it never came. The final sex scene seemed overly gratuitous when I would have liked to see them work through some of their earlier conflicts. I will give Ms. Amber kudos for her imagination though!

He finds her in Venice and is immediately attracted to her. Although he has vowed not to give in to his needs and keep his distance from Jordan, he finds out that he can't stay away from the brave and enticing Jordan.
Jordan has vowed never let any man rule or own her and she also tries, unsuccessfully though, to keep her heart save from the storm Raine ignites. Together they embark on a journey of love, trust and acceptance, fighting the obstacles that stand in the way of their happiness together.

Jordan is a character who is unusual but very likeable at the same time. I admired her strength. She is quick-minded, practical and brave. She accepts who she is and doesn’t let shame or propriety rule her feelings. It is Raine and her feelings for him that help her discover and accept who and what she is.

Raine surpasses the image I had of him in the first book and he does this beyond my expectations. I thought him remote and cold but he is anything but that. He cloaks himself in remoteness and has perfected keeping his distance from everyone in an almost obsessive way being the brooding, silent brother. He is afraid of getting hurt but his fascination for Jordan and his attraction to her overrides his fear and he learns that passion and happiness is within his reach.

The secondary characters both enemy and friendly are intriguing to say the least.
I loved reading about Nicholas and Jane again. The glimpse of Lyon certainly wasn't enough to satisfy me. I wanted more of him, but luckily in October we'll have all of him.

The book again was very sensual but the emphasis is more on the emotions. The situation with Jordan was a little awkward for me at first, I felt it was a little out of my comfort zone. But reading along I grew more comfortable with it, accepted it and was fascinated. This was mainly due to the skills of Elizabeth Amber. She was able to write a story around it that supported the unfamiliar concept, making it acceptable.
It fitted the whole picture and feel of the book, fitted the story as it was told.

This second installment of The Lords of Satyr trilogy is not for readers who are not open-minded or who are faint of heart. Elizabeth Amber takes some sexual concepts even further than in the first book and she treads upon the boundaries of what is known and familiar or comfortable. But she does this in such a believable and magnificent way that if you are open-minded, you will embrace the story in all its aspects.

In this book I learned a bit more about the ways of the Satyr. More background information was subtly mixed into the story in a way that you could take it in with ease. There was a plot but it was underlying the emotional story. That being said it was a good plot with a revelation at the end I didn't see coming.
I learned more about winemaking along the way but also new things in regards to the history of the Satyr, the Faerie and other mythical beings. And last but not least my sexual horizon has been broadened a bit more and I am surprised as to how open-minded I can be when the concept is being delivered in a masterful and functional way.

Elizabeth Amber enticed me with Nicholas and now she has surprised and captivated me with Raine. I wait in eager anticipation to see what she has in store for us with Lyon!
