Book Reviews of Nicholas: The Lords of SatyrBook Review: Elizabeth Amber shoots straight up to my A-list shelf!!! Summary: 4 StarsOMG! What can I say? Enthralling, catching, highly erotic and satisfying to the very core of your being! When you start reading this novel you're being pulled into the story and a world which you just cannot put down till you finished reading the last word written. I compare it to the forbidden fruit which you secretly do eat and afterwards enjoying the fact you can still lick the juice of your fingertips! And still Nicholas is whispering to me. This is definitely a story that will stay with you a while after you finished reading it.
The story-lines of the Lords of Satyr are refreshingly new to me. I can't really say what kind of genre it falls into apart from the Erotic one - and Erotic it is - but it's holding a genre in the likes of fantasy/paranormal/historical. Never before have I read such scene's filled with wickedly delightfulness, described in a way it really comes across as erotical, and making you feel tingled up, nearly longing for Nicholas to cuddle up next to you, showing you what he's all about.
In my opinion some books in this genre are very graphic: the story being more about the erotic scenes instead of the story. But when, like Elizabeth Amber, you are able to write Erotica Novels where you forget the genre and being pulled into a story filled with such passion, rituals, magic and love, then to me you are top-notch A list quality!
Nicholas and Jane both are in their own way perfect for each other. It was so touching to see Jane needing to get used to what she was, trying so desperately all her life hiding her abnormalities and Nicholas just accepting her straight upfront for who she is. And Nicholas... - just purring perfect as a great man. Of course I had to put my own self aside when he had to relief himself in a way I would never accept it from my man, but all things set aside, it did perfectly fit in with the story. And because it totally fit in the story and was described in such a way that you could clearly see the logic in it I was able to fathom it and accept it for what is was and needed to be for him.
There was this amazingly perfect balance between the characters; the story and the world Elizabeth has created. I can hardly wait for the next novel to be released. After reading this novel, Elizabeth left me eager to read along and see what will happen with Raine en Lyon and not to forget Emma of course! Elizabeth Amber, straight away in this first novel, was able to set the strongly different characters of the Lords of Satyr to paper and to be honest - I just love Lyon! I'd say he's the rake in this bunch, the one who does as he pleases and does not feel like settling down really! I so am curious to see what he'll do once his time has come! I mean, this all came to me, especially after that one scene with him, a waterfall, and sex - that's all I'll say but once you read this novel you'll just know what I mean.
Honest to say, Elizabeth Amber has totally baffled me with this novel, making it reach above all my expectations. Daring to shift things around, but not losing the fact it's still about two people emerging with each other in sacred vows and growing towards loving each other. To me this novel held everything I needed/longed to see back in a story and knowing as soon as Raine is out I'll be the first to dive into his story. Can't wait to see if he finally is able to find his bride - he had a somewhat more difficult time with seeking her out than Nicholas did and I say he's a bit frustrated about that! Elizabeth - don't make him wait too long - that'll be torture (wickedly grinning)!
A slamming debut for an author that shoots straight up to my A-list shelf!
