Wow! There isn't much more I can say about these sexy elves that hasn't been said already. Jet has created a wonderful world with some lovable characters. I'm thinking of taking a walk in the woods around here some night. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky too! ;) This one is a definate keeper for me.

OMG very hot. Elves created just to bring pleasure to women. They know exactly what you like. You don't have to guide them. What more could you ask for.

I really liked this book. If you are familiar with Jet Mykles work, then you know that she is not an author that writes for the faint of heart.
There is A LOT of sex scenes in this book. There are M/M, F/M/F, M/M/F and M/F/M interaction in this book. It also has some BDSM elements to it. Not hardcore, but not light either.

I can only say that this series has rocketed to the top of my wish list. It is firmly in my top three...of which I never thought I'd change, but...there you have it.
The stories are hot - way hot, the heroines are a good mix of fiesty and yet full of heart and compassion (yes, even Diana, ladies...she's all heart...you just have to work to get there!) and the men...well, hell, they are what fantasies are, pure and simple. Yowza!
Enjoy! I can't wait to get the next one!...more

What a fantastic book! I took Daisiemae's (Shellie's) recommendation and ordered this book after reading "Howl" and "Leashed". I'm so glad I did and now I can't wait to start "Salvation", the next in Jet Mykles' series.

CAUTION: These are NOT your Mama's elves! They do NOT bake cookies in hollow trees or help Santa build toys at the North Pole. There are plenty of reviews here to fill you in on plot details, but I just thought I would warn those unsuspecting few who may not have heard of these guys.
And thank you, friend, for the late Christmas present of this book!
Heck, I've gotta' throw in another half a star for the heat factor alone! Be prepared...

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book! It is so different from other books in this genre. There are 2 stories: Taken and Mastered, each with different main characters, although the characters intertwine in both stories.
This book is about a race of elves called raedjour- they were male creatures created by a goddess named Rhea as pleasure consorts. Once the goddess had to leave this world, they had no women to share their pleasure with so they starting capturing women travelers and turning ...more

Oh yes, this was very very good. So many elements that I like. Do I need to tell you what they are? Tee Hee, as Daisiemae would say. Thanks for the great reviews.

Oh my goodness....these elves aren't the little guys you think of when you hear the term elves. They are big, muscled and unbelieveably hot. If extremly erotic, explicit books aren't your thing, I don't advise this series for you. If it is then you are in for a real treat. Yummy just flat out yummy!

So yesterday night for the first time I took in hand this book by Jet Mykles. I know her for her M/M story, which I like very much (Heaven Sent series, Snagged and Tech Support) but I know she is very famous also for this series. I was not sure, but a friend of mine (naanbld) has convinced me and so...

4 & 3 stars for two stories: mostly erotic sex scenes set in an interesting world. Caution: rape and brutality.
This book contains two elf fantasy stories which take place in the underground world beneath the Rhaen Mountains. Long ago before the gods left the earth, the goddess Rhae created the raedjour, a race of men as sexual consorts and bodyguards. “When she left, she had to do something to ensure their survival. So she told them to steal human women. They already oozed sex, ...more

This could be accused of coming perilously close to crossing that intangible line between erotica and unrepentant porn. I'll simply say this book is what it sounds like and, as long as you aren't expecting any high literary efforts or epic plots, it does what it sets out to do.
"Dark" elves (their skin is obsidian black and they have snow white hair - they're not evil unless you count kidnapping human women to have children with) were created by their Goddess to be her sexual ...more

Dark Elves 1: Taken was surprisingly good. It wasn't at all what I expected and I really liked the main characters. It's about a race of dark elves that only produces males. They have to kidnap human women to procreate with. I thought they were perfect together and I felt that Salin (the hero) treated Diana in exactly the way she needed. I know she felt that she was forced and I could see that, but Salin really made it work for them. My only complaint is that I wish there was a little more focus...more

I admit going into this book that I wasn't expecting much, but I was in the mood for a bit of erotica and the dark elf aspect intrigued me. I was 10 pages in and I was hooked. I really enjoyed Gala and Diana's adventures when captured by our "dark Elves". I feel JM did a great job with building her world and her characters were easy to connect with, even her "bad gusys" weren't really bad guys. The premise: our two heroines get kidnapped by a underground people who were cr...more
Dark Elves erotica series: Contains #1 Taken and #2 Mastered
This is an erotica title, with highly unique Dark Elves ... and lots and lots and lots of sex.
From early in the book I wanted more story and less sex. I'd have so enjoyed knowing more about the Dark Forest and the intriguing Elves ... but no.
At the halfway point I just skimmed ... sex, sex and more sex. I was looking for more story.

Never really read these types of erotic romance novels and I must say this was really really good. This book is very daring and dark, sexually. I think the reader who explores their sexual side will be able to do so with this book. Once in the Dark Forest, nothing is ever the same as the elves are very sexual and females are rear. This book contains explicit sex of m/m/f

This first Dark Elves volume contains two stories, Taken and Mastered. The premise is quite simple and reminded me somewhat of Jaid Black's viking stories - the underground city, the big sexy men taking women captive from topside, that aspect. There's a few interesting elements here that make the black-skinned Elves - who call themselves raedjour - enticing. Let's face it, their sex on legs, literally. Created as a race of consorts for the Goddess Rhae, when she left the world she found a way fo...more
This book is erotica, so if that's not your thing, stop reading.
This is a paranormal erotica series that I had been led to believe has a lot of D/s and bondage. It's actually only partly about power games and leather restraints - it also has an elaborate loss of virginity scene, exhibitionism, lots of true love, a menage, m/m action, and everyday hot vanilla sex. A little of everything, with nothing so extreme that it will turn you off if it's not your thing. I was pleasantly surpris...more

So I'm giving it 4 stars, but with the stipulation that it's 4-stars for erotica. Diana and Gala, a pair of mercenaries in an alternate, medieval world, venture into a cursed mountain range tracking a man who stole from them. They're captured by the creatures who live in the mountains, a race that was created by a goddess for sex. The race has no females, but they keep their species alive by kidnapping human women and turning them. There's a mate concept here, where each creature is only fer...more
I can't rate this one because it had some themes that get me all soapboxy. Short version (because I'm writing a real review for later consumption):
1) Nonstop sex. So, great for readers who need their erotica fix!
2) Triggering for - rape, non-con, Stockholm Syndrome, female objectification
3) First two novels in a series combined together
4) ZOMG. I have seen banner ads from Jet Mykles for over 10 years now. To find an edited, print version from LooseId at my library? Blew ...more

It's het erotica and not even Jet Mykles can make me really happy with it - despite hints of hot m/m action behind the scenes. It was well written, the characters well developed and interesting with enough teases to make me wonder about secondary characters. But I want to know more about them before they find their own human woman not after. Not even the pretty pictures made me happy because there were women getting in the way of the muscles. Sigh.
When you are looking for a fast read and some really great smut, THIS IS THE SERIES TO READ. Hot men that do the things you dream of.... or at least I do. LOL.
Alright this book is a toss up.
What I liked: The sex was hot the characters were believable? and of course the myths and storylines were great.
What I didn't like is Diana had a point she was raped. She was taken by men in the forest and had sex with them without being asked if she wanted to. Then for 9 days a different man had sex with her over and over without her permission. Which is why her man worked for her.
So yes I liked the books and no I didn't care for the...more

it came off as a bit degrading to women...

Smutastic. LOL Though, the universe is quite interesting too. Kinda nice to have a book combine both well.
Quite an eye opener but the story telling is well set up & I enjoyed reading to the end.
I've given 'Taken' a lower rating because I found the erotic tales to be darker than what I enjoy reading. The premise for the two stories in this novel is very appealing; secretive elves who kidnap woman for pleasure, mating, and having children. The elves are strong but also endearing once they find their mates. But I would have enjoyed more story telling and world building.
It was ok, the book wasn´t bad But I want it more action or something . :)
