Destined- Aliens, Myths, Magic: Book One
Destiny brought them together. Their love might tear them apart.
~Ryleigh~
“Maybe when I woke, this would no longer be a nightmare with crazy wolves and strange creatures masquerading as men.”
The men who almost kidnapped me will stop at nothing to get me back. I'm no damsel in distress, but who could turn down a sexy white knight... or two?
Lukas and Darian have a few secrets. They aren't exactly human. Neither are the men trying to find me.
The Intarans might look like humans, but they're not of this world. For millennia, they have starred in our myths, legends, and nightmares. They're trapped on Earth... and they want to use me to open the portal home.
I had planned my future carefully, but nothing could’ve prepared me for nightmares come to life, or falling in love.
~Lukas~
“I’m done waiting. We both know what you want. It’s the same thing I want. And I always get what I want.”
From the moment I saw her, I knew Ryleigh was my mate. I didn't care that she was human; I wasn't exactly pure-blooded myself. My secrets were unraveling fast, threatening to destroy those I loved.
I'd protect her with my life, but when the truth comes out, will she stay?
~Darian~
“Don’t you fantasize about how it would be between us? I know I do.”
I was a broken man, shattered by years of torture and pain. My family called me traitor; my allies feared me. Hell, I barely trusted myself.
Lukas saved me, and I loved him too much to ever cause him pain. Before Ryleigh came into our lives, he was everything I ever wanted.
Ryleigh saw the man I might’ve been. She was the only woman I could've ever loved. Hell, I wanted her and Lukas both.

I think I can honestly say that this is the first PNR book I’ve read where the “paranormal” element is aliens. With that, I also believe it’s also the first ménage book I’ve read as well. I’ve usually shied away from ménage books, because I always thought there would be some kind of messed up relationship involved. I’m all about people (real, imagined, and aliens!) embracing who they are and who they love, but again I had yet to include it in my reading lists. I think Sylvina Storm has made me a fan of the genre. First of all, the storyline about the Intarans, and the fighting between the Elites and Kindred is good. I am all about action packed in along with the romance. Reading about the relationship growing between Lukas, Darian, and Ryleigh is not as awkward as my preconceptions led to me to think. It was very much downright hot! It’s not just MFM, but MM, MMF, and BDSM thrown in there – Intarans are very free and sexual beings. I honestly was worried that one character would pull the short end of the straw so to speak and get their feelings hurt or not enough quality time within the trio, but I think each person in their “triad” plays a specific role. No one person is greater than the other, and they all love each other immensely. So with that being said, I’m definitely down with this series, and would be more likely to read other ménage stories in the future.

This book and Predestined introduces a new world where aliens are real and have been on earth for centuries. Luke has the gift of sight, but it is not easily interpreted and changes with actions. He knows Darien is important to his finding his fated mate or Setah, but he doesn't know why or how. Darien considers Luke his best friend and doesn't allow for more. Then they meet Ryleigh, and all bets are off.
Then there is the intriguing tale of the struggles of the full blood Interans, the Kindred (half bloods) and there interactions with humans. Add the studies of the Interans and Kindred to reactivate their ancient tools and the action is riveting.
This series has it all hot scenes (including BDSM), romance, action, and adventure in a new world construct. Can't wait for the next installment.

*I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review*
Ryleigh is quickly thrown into a world she never knew existed. Her head’s set on finding her missing friend, but her heart is being torn in two different directions and it’s an emotional craziness as she gets closer to both Lukas and Darian.
Lukas is a bisexual Dominant who seems to like to control every situation. He even has dreams that give him glimpses of certain outcomes, but nothing gave away the predicament he found himself in.
Darian has a terror filled past and it has left him carrying many emotional scars. One being the fact that he’s openly gay and in love with his best friend, but when he feels drawn to a woman for the very first time why oh why is it the one his best friend seems connected too. Talk about a sucky situation. But being him does have its perks…he can shape shift!
“If it were anyone else I’d fight for you, Lia. You’re special. But I can’t hurt him. Not like that.”
The story alternates between three main points of view (Ryleigh, Lukas, and Darian) with an occasion glance into the enemies mind thrown in here and there. Throughout most of the story each point of view continues where the other left off keeping the story moving, but toward the end there’s a part that’s retold from each of their point of views and it felt like a wrench being thrown into the smoothly working machine.
Destined is filled with secrets, intrigue, and hot kinky sex. It combines aliens and myths to produce a race of very interesting people. It’s captivating and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
My Favorite Laughable Moment: It probably shouldn’t have been funny considering it was basically a hostage situation but when Darian went to save Ryleigh it was quite funny.
“Stay still! Pretend I’m not here.”
“But, I wanna see.” She pouted.
“Yeah, about that. I can’t change with my clothes. Being cold ain’t got nothing on standing at four inches and freezing. I’d rather keep my dignity, thank you very much. No peeking.”

having read the prequel helps putting things in perspective in this book, it's not a must read but as said: it helps.
toby finally has her coming to the place he loves frequenting but everything about that night is weird. the guys they met up with were creepy. they lured them out of the place. since then ryleigh hasn't seen toby and she gets whisked of to someplace else but everything feels blurry and she isn't sure what is really happening.
when both lukas and darius see what is happening right in front of them in their own club they can't be more at edge.
they have to get these humans to safety, specially the woman because there is something about her that has these two men in a twist.
as ryleigh's memory is partly wiped away to see what she'll do the day after she's back at their club like a boomerang wanting info about the whereabouts of toby. unbeknownst to her she stepping into a world of aliens and magic and a bond so rare that it takes a lot of talking before all parties involved understand what is going on and whether it is worth it or not.
for some reason ryleigh still isn't safe because more then once they try to take her and everytime they manage to get her back.
join these characters as they set out to fight evil and their own personal battles because there are a few that need to be fought.
really enjoyed the first full book in this series, the torment between them, the love and friendship, utterly perfect this part of the story has been finalized but i know there is more to come!

Destined by author Sylvina Storm starts off the Aliens, Myths, and Magic series.
Darian is Intaran relations with humans is considered to be an abomination. He was to keep his species pure. But there is one woman he cannot let go of despite her humanity. He could be sentenced to death for disobedience but he is willing to risk that for her. Darian, knows his duties, and is loyal, strong, very alpha male.
Lukas is best friends with Darian he is a half breed so he has never felt the need to be a purist. He too see Ryleigh as theirs. He is the heart of the duo. He brings the romance and the sweet. I liked that he was the perfect light to Darian’s dark nature.
Ryleigh is drugged and sold off into sexual slavery. She is saved by Darian and Lukas but she has to get used to one thing, they will never let her go she is their setah- soul mate. Can she accept she can never return to Earth and she has not one but two alien mates? She is a strong loving character. I liked a woman who has guts and Ryleigh is one.
Over all I couldn’t stop reading this book. Well written and completely captivating. There is steamy sex but the story line itself is what kept me reading. If you like scifi, ménages, and true love this is a must read.

Sex was hot, heroes were delicious, and heroine was sensually wicked. You just can’t beat that, but if you’re a good girl Lukas might spank you anyways. I’ve honestly read this book at least 5 times and enjoyed it every time.
Ryleigh, an archeologist with a bit of tunnel-vision, is one lucky girl who gets not one but two Intaran all to herself. After a boggled kidnapping attempt she has the pleasure of meeting them both. First up is Mr. Darian with a 6’6 well-built frame and battle scars revealing more mental anguish than any physical pain they may have caused, was very easy to fall in love with. Like move to a trailer park and overlook him sleeping with my best friend kind of love. Stop judging. Anyways, at first it seemed he was destined to be the third wheel while the other two had all of the fun. But Mr. Lukas wouldn’t dare let that happen. Although slightly shorter than Darian, Lukas makes up for the height difference in his take charge, dominant personality.
I thoroughly enjoyed the journey with these three characters as they came to grips with their threesome relationship and can’t wait for the next book!

Love can be as strong or as weak as you make it... Every relationship has to be the perfect counterparts to the other in order to work and be strong.. In this story you have that in Darien, Lukas and Ryleigh.
Darien is the strength and power
Ryleigh is the glue and confidence
Lukas is the heart and romance or may I say the emotions..
Each one is needed in a strong relationship and add in love and the connection is unbreakable. The only problem is that Darien is pure breed and there are those who believe in keeping the bloodline true. But Darien Setah soul mated to Lukas his best friend and a mix breed and Ryleigh a beautiful human woman he saved. And he is not willing to give either of them up. Read the story to see what all Darien ,Lukas and Ryleigh have to endure to stay together..Over all I couldn’t stop reading this book. Well written and completely captivating. The steamy sex is mind blowing , I mean come on DP says it all. Lol ..If you like scifi, ménages, and finding true love this is a must read. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review and like I said read it...

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Ryleigh first meets Darian and Lukas at an exclusive club where she goes to meet her best friend Tobias. That night Tobias is kidnapped, but Lukas and Darian save her from being taken by the same men that took her friend. Her life will change forever when the men explain that they are an alien race that came to Earth thousands of years ago. That it is their people who fueled the myths, legends and sperstitions that people still believe. Ryleigh will also find her sexual fantasies coming true as she forms a Bond with Lukas and Darian.
Wow, fantastic book! I loved this book and will look forward to reading more of this authors work!

Well, that was interesting
This book was an unusual take on the whole aliens-as-ancient-supernatural-beings premise. For the most part, I enjoyed it. What I did not enjoy were the BDSM scenes. Regardless of how often an author might write that such a relationship is loving, I cannot believe that. I don't particularly like the alternating points of view, either--but that's a personal preference. Anyway, the content is very clean of typographical errors, which nets this 3-star story one more full star for technical competence.

Intriguing intertwined story of magic, myths, and a history involving aliens no human could guess. Ryleigh is almost kidnapped when her friend Toby was. She was saved by Lukas and Darian. She is attracted to both of them and is confused by her feelings, as well as the revelation they are aliens trapped here on Earth.
This series contains MM, MMF, MFM, BDSM and other alternative lifestyle scenes. Ryleigh must come to terms with her new position in life. Darian has many problems to overcome as well from when he was tortured and imprisoned by his father.

I love romances of all types but especially paranormal and menage. This is the perfect blend for me of romance and myth. It really is about three individuals that together make each other complete. Darien, Lukas and Ryleigh are each very different and provide an important piece to the relationship that develops. Not everyone is thrilled that they have found each other. There are purists who don't believe in mixing among the races and kinds of beings. It hooks you into the series. I am looking forward to reading more,

I enjoyed the story more then I thought I would there was some confusing parts in it in regards to the history of the legends/beings from another planet. I also felt it rushed a little I wanted to know more about the could they seemed to move fast and felt like it missed somethings. I will read the next book and see if it is any better as I did find myself wanting to know what ends up happening in general.

What an awesome read!!
What could be better than a hottie who can read your dreams and inflict nightmares? Another hottie who is a shifter!! Both of these men love the same girl and each other. These two men do everything they can to keep this woman safe.
There is so much happening in this story, that you will not be disappointed, so take the risk and read it!!

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review,
I usually only read paranormal romance but this book was so good ( and it had shifters) it did take me a bit to get into because it was about aliens. I have to say it has a beautiful love story in it as well not just between a man and woman but also a m/m love too.

If you like paranormal and erotica check out this book. Sylvina Storm does a good job of incorporating the two into the story. I enjoyed this book and look forward to read the next one.

The background story was full of interesting ideas. The main romance was good and the sex scenes were enjoy able.
