RAINE is the second book in the Lords of Satyr series. If you haven't read the first, NICHOLAS, I urge you to start there first.
To sum the series up, the Lords of Satyr own a vineyard in Tuscany. On the land is a portal between this world and ElseWorld, which they are the guardians of. King Feydon, ruler of ElseWorld, left a dying wish. He'd fathered three daughters from human mothers. They carried half-human, half-faerie blood and had no idea. These daughters were in danger. His request was for the three lords to marry his three daughters so that they will be protected.
In book one, Nicholas found his bride and married. In book two, it's Raine's turn. This one won't be nearly as easy as it was for Nicholas. With Raine, there are several obstacles in his way. It's one intense read!
This series is definitely in the erotica subgenre. The stories are well developed with the second being just as good, if not better than the first. If this is a favored genre, do not pass up Elizabeth Amber's series, but start with the first book.
I love this story. Jordan and Raine are perfect for each other. Jordan was born with both male and female organs had been raised a man to ensure his father's fortune. Unfortunately, she wished to be acknowledged as female.
Raine, who was bitter and cynical, after a disasterous marriage wasn't keen on finding another wife. But once they met the sparks flew.
I loved Jordan so much, she embraced being treated like a female. She wasn't afraid to say what she wanted. I also felt bad for her because while she wasn't ashamed of her body she was afraid Raine would be disgusted. Raine of course being Satyr, wasn't turned off. They just fit together so well.
I recommend this book to anyone. Great job!
La Maschera, Jordan Cietta, a male or female? Born a hermaphrodite, Jordan possessed both male and female genitals. With the help of the Doctor Salerno she was pronounced a boy even though she had female characteristics as well; the doctor did this so that Jordan's mother would inherit the Cietta fortune as well as further his own future of examinations and study. Jordan lived as a male in society, but every year on her birthday she was given up to Salerno for his studies, in her body and mind she was every bit female; but she could not forsake her mother and bring scandal down upon the Cietta name.
Raine, is the second of three Satyr brothers out in search of his mate. He is unwilling to marry again or even love at this moment, but has been told it is of great haste to find the daughter of the Faerie King before something horrible happens and marry her. He is turned on by the site of the person before him, but is she the one he seeks? With a hardened heart that begins to quickly melt, he must keep his Calling a secret from her in fear that she will turn away at the site of his transformation. Raine must also learn how to coax Jordan out of her insecurities of her male appendage while spending as much time as HE allows in her bed.
Raine and Jordan have not had things easy from the get-go, he is intrigued by her body, she is in love with a man as she now embraces the life of living as a woman, and then there is the death of her mother. There are still other evils that will try and tear the two apart. The dirty coveting syphilis carrying bishop, Salerno, and the three brothers made of stone all want Jordan in their grasp. Raine will do everything in his power to keep her to himself... even if he knew it was against everything he ever pledged upon finding La Maschera.
Raine by Elizabeth Amber is the second book in the Lords of Satyr series. It was absolutely breathtaking and phenomenal. I have never read an erotic book like this with the sex between a hermaphrodite and male, it was very titillating. Raine is not all erotic, and sex filled, it has great romantic touches, fantasy, an amazing story line detailed magnificently and it was very spot on with the winery details. Now I see why she occasionally gives wine as prizes in her drawings... that I still have yet to win LOL. I can't fault Ms. Amber for anything, I loved everything in this book from cover to cover. 5 Hearts
