Elementals #3
Lord of the Forest
Pagan revelers dance naked to the music of flute and lyre, their bodies golden in the firelight, inviting the lord of their deepest desires to appear from the shadows. Marius soon comes, his tall, muscular body changing in the dark of the moon - is he man or animal? Or the best of both? Only Linnea, the beautiful goddess of the hunt, shall see his true self. His ultimate transformation will ensnare her - and his matchless erotic skill will ensure her amorous surrender. Retreating to a hidden bower of pleasure, they are at last alone. And Marius brings her to the heights of sexual ecstasy...again and again and again...

I have a nothing-to-do-with-the-book comment, the guy on the cover's belly button looks like a mouth. Gross!
I know this is erotica, and although there are sex scenes and lots of talk about sex, the sex scenes were pretty tame. Lots of mutual orgasms (like that happens very often) and the guy's hard as soon as he cums (another not likely to happen). The book became boring too. Also, the author said that Marius became a centaur because he killed one without remorse, but then I guess forgot because then she talks about how as a child he's given an amulet that made him a centaur and lost it. There were quite a few discrepancies in this book. I'm going to stop reading this series.

The ending felt rushed. I did enjoy catching up with characters introduced in previous book. I enjoyed the deepening bond between Marius and Linnea. The struggle against evil was there it just seemed disjointed at times.

Wonderfully writing sexually, sensual story to read...

A poignant book, the last of The Elementals. Originally, it was designed for a four book series, with potential for more. However, Thompson's death in February 2008 cut short the plans. She was outlining the 4th book, Lord of the Fire, at the time of her death.
This is the 3rd in the series, following Lord of the Deep and Lord of the Dark. Erotic Historical Literary fiction, Thompson's story is on par with the world-building of Tolkien, but imbues the stories with the passion and the emotions often lacking in his writing. In many ways they are difficult to read, as various aspects were metaphor for Thompson's life, of which the last eleven years was spent confined in a wheelchair.

I love Dawn Thompson's imagination. The Erotica was awesome and I loved all the characters - they are all unique.
This story was about Marius the Centaur who is the Lord of the Forest and Linnea - Spirit of the Antelope and daughter of the Great Stag.
I love Marius pet magpie bird "Esau" for he comes to the rescue several times in the story. It was neat to see the other characters from the other books in this series. The Lord of the Deep Simeon with his wife Megaleen, The Lord of the Dark Gideon with his wife Rhiannon and their baby girl; and The Lord of the Underworld Vane all played major roles in this story.
Of course it has a wonderful ending,such a wonderful Paranormal Fantasy Erotica - Absolutely Great.

Definitely not the quality of writing you'd expect from Dawn Thompson. I only got half way through this one before I put it down. The Lord of the Forest, Marius, was a great strong character in her other books but in his own book he was just wimpy and ineffective. What a dissappointment!
