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.

I’m definitely NOT going to say anything mor...more

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.

Once aga...more

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

Uhhh… book summed up in GIF form:



To say I am shocked by the happenings of this book would be putting it mildly. And, I do NOT shock easy. Maybe saying that I am shocked is giving this book too much credit. Shocked at the brilliance that an author’s mind must have to even think of half the things in this book (series as a whole) is more like it. The actual situations in these books are necessarily shocking as they are massive WTF moments. Erotica at a whole n...more

Actual Rating: 3.5
Warning: Contains Spoilers

This book was better than the first. Definitely. As much as I did like the introduction to the Lords of Satyr series, Nicholas and Jane were such a bore, that when I read about Raine and Jordan I was pleasantly thrilled. I knew Raine would fall the deepest, and Jordan was fun, sassy, and humorous. That she had both male and female genitals came as a shock to me. I really wasn't expecting that little development, I had to reread the paragraph just to m...more

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!

Raine is the middle brother of the 3 Satyr brothers. The are part human, part creature from ElseWorld (an alternative world to Earth). They hear from they kind of the Fey, whom they have an alliance with, that he has fathered 3 daughters by Earth woman. These 3 daughters need the protection and the m...more

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! 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 tr...more

This series is Paranormal and takes you back to the 1800's and into the world where magical beings and happenings exist, but are hidden from those whom are merely human.

Magical gardens, vineyards of life and gateways to otherworlds.

In book 2, Raine, the middle Satyr brother must travel to find his predestined bride in Venice. Time is of the essence and a threatening plague upon the family's vineyard weighs heavy on his mind. His journey to Venice is to attend a lecture regarding the disease affe...more

#2 Lords of Satyr - Erotica, Not for the Easily Offended

Wow, what an amazing imagination the author has! Like #1 Nicholas, I've never read anything like this, erotica-wise or along the lines of mythical gods and creatures.

Will absolutely continue with this series!

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.

If you just want a lightly sexy read, look elsewhere. This book is steaming HOT. The main romance and sex scenes are between the heroine...more

Content note: many different kinds of nonconsensual sexual activities.


This is a novel about two people who really, really suck at communicating with each other and never actually learn better, but it's okay because it's also an erotic novel, so they can just have lots of sex instead!

I read Raine at Oreotalpa's request (she won a charity auction in which I was offering to review a romance novel). When she emailed me my assignment, she included a list of caveats, saying she'd totally understand if...more

I never know how to review these books. They're so cracktastic and bizarre in the fantasy-erotica way, that I'm still surprised I like them so much. 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 SA...more
Katie(babs)
This is the perfect book to show that nothing, and I mean NOTHING is scared. A story better suited for Literotica.com if anything.

Raine is the second story in her Lord of Satyrs series. This is an erotic historical paranormal romance from the Kensington Aphrodisia line that likes to push the envelope. And when it comes to erotic, especially paranormal, lines are crossed. But there are some things you just don't touch and Raine crosses so many lines that I couldn't decide to laugh or gasp in horr...more

Well, I just finished reading Raine, the second installment in the Lords of Satyr series by Elizabeth Amber. (It is catagorized as "Fantasy Erotica" for those of you curious!) It was alright, I'd give it a 2 out of 5. Ok, show of hands: How many of you have read an erotica book that actually has a solid story line and plot behind it? I know, they are a bit difficult to find, but they are out there! Raine does have a well developed plot and story line to it, so no need to worry! However, the main...more

It's different, unusual and very erotic.

Jordan is half human and half faerie. She has both male and female body parts. The doctor who delivered her at birth pronounced her as a male so her mother could keep the estate fortune. In return, Jordan is required to be on display, examined and touched by the medical community once a year each year. Raine is half human and half satyr. He is asked by the faerie king to find her and protect her from evil ones in the else world who will use her to invade e...more
Juju221
Ummmm yeah, jury is still kinda out on this one, same premise as before, but this time the heroine is sexually ambiguous. Jordan has been raised as a boy so her mother could maintain the family fortune, and how was this possible, because she has both female and male genitalia. I know in Greek and Roman mythology (which is where most of the satyr myths come from,) they celebrated the uniqueness of the hermaphrodite, but even though I liked Jordan as a character and I liked how she discovered hers...more
Gemma
Ok, This was a book that I wasn't sure I would like. Mainly because the fact that the heroine was a hermaphrodite and I was a bit uncomfy about it. I'd read reviews too so everything was pointing to a book I'd miss out.

Boy was I wrong. This book surpassed the first one and I really did care about both leads in this book.

I really felt for Jordan and the perdiciment she was in. In order to keep the doctor who declared her male at birth and therefore able to keep her fathers inheritance, she had t...more

This is the second book in the Lords of Satyr series and it is just as good or better than the first one, Nicholas. As with the first one, this one is definitely not for just anyone. If you don't enjoy the strange and unusual then I suggest you look elsewhere. Personally, I love the strange and unusual and therefore I loved this one.

Raine is the second Satyr brother who travels to Venice seeking his Fairieblend wife. He finds Jordan who is an hermaphrodite that has lived most of her life as a ma...more

One-word review: Wat.

Extended review: Admittedly, I read this for the trainwreck value. I read the excerpts on Amber's website and went, "Wait, they're half-satyrs... who grow another penis when the moon is full... and there's another world called 'ElseWorld'... and they have to find wives that are 'FaerieBlend'? WAT." I thought it sounded incredibly bizarre, but for some reason, I needed to read it.

Good things: The heroine, Jordan, was a very fleshed-out character. Her struggle to find her ge...more

Have you ever started read an unconventional romance novel that you genuinely like only to have it ruined by a graphic depiction of a brutal rape and murder? This happened before the two romantic leads have even had a chance to kiss. Talk about a mood killer.

The best way I can describe the issues I had with this book without spoilers* are by describing them as the deplorable treatment of a leading female (not by the leading male) and the overwrought theme of “this is as good as it gets.” It was...more

Okay, as open-minded as I am, I'd almost stopped reading this when I'd realized the main heroine - a mix of faerie princess and mortal woman - is also... a mix of MAN and woman! Yes, the leading lady is a hermaphrodite!!


All I can say is, I'm SO glad I continued to read this in spite of my reservations, because this is one of the BEST HEROINES I've ever read in a book, EVER. Elizabeth Amber did such an amazing job of showing Jordan [the heroine's:] intelligence, sense of humor and vulnerability b

Jordan is a girl...mostly. Let's just say that she has some male parts to go along with her female ones. She and Raine meet on her birthday where she is being shown off as a scientific study, while wearing a mask. There is instant attraction between both. Who knew Raine was slightly into men? Anyway, Jordan's mother is killed, and because she is intrigued that Raine sees her as a woman unlike everyone else in her life she goes with him back to his home.
I read the first book and thought it intere...more

Hmmm. I didn't think I'd actually read this book, but suffice to say, I was very curious about the hermaphrodite heroine (Jordan), so I bought it. Jordan, I'm pleased to say, was actually a very charming and engaging heroine, and the first (and probably only) hermaphrodite I'm likely to read about. She and her lover, Raine, were what held the story together. Raine was at times awkward, but honorable - and I liked that.
As for story line, it was interesting, but seemed at times almost half finishe...more
Jessica
Well Raine was an interesting read... I guess thats what i would call it interesting, awkward, weird, confrunting. Those are some other words that come to mind.

After reading Nic's book i had high hopes for this one, and it wasnt that those hopes werent reached they were kinda.

Raine falls in love with a hermaphrodite which personally was a little confrunting as ive never read guy on guy scences. Once i got past that it was still a little odd really. Jordan is just a very confused character and...more
KellBell
Love Jordan! Love her!

I actually liked this book better than the first in the series: Nicholas. There were a couple reasons. First, I thought the story was better put together. 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. This book still had those types of scenes, but they all had their purpose.

Second, I really...more

Again, the smut level is out of this world, but the plot was a little better that Nicholas, but not by much. The only thing that is keeping me going with the series is to see how she up the erotic factor after a hermaphrodite.

Annotation: Like his brother, Nicholas, Raine Satyr has been ordered by the deceased king of Faerie to find one of the king's daughters and marry her. Raine sets out to Venice, finds Jordan, and brings her back to his Tuscan estate. Jordan is considered a high prize amongst...more

I picked up this book and finished it the same night I started it. It is an excellent follow-up to Nicholas - it's probably better, at least IMHO. Thought the ending had some weird elements that could potentially spoil the third book, but I'll just have to read it to see...
