Favorite Quote: “How? How do I feel?”
“Like…like heaven and hell, all at once.”
Once upon a time there lived a young lioness princess in a castle far, far away. Every man for miles wanted to tame her. Not for her beauty or skills; but because of her fortune and bloodline. However, this young lioness wasn’t ready to be tamed. But as the war began to claim all her male relatives, one by one, and her cousin was to far to watch over her…she began to look very tamable indeed.
In the true fashion of fairy tales, this short but powerful novella takes us on an emotionally magical journey. Moira Rogers creates such fantastic world that draw you in and makes you feel as if the story is being written around you. Smooth storyline coupled with dynamic and endearing characters makes this series a tiny treasure to have and read.
Kisri’s male relatives have all protected her from unwanted claimings. But when the war slowly kills them off, she knows she has to find her cousin, The High Lord of the Plains, before her choice in mating is taken from her. Wot Kisri finds is Ennon, her cousin’s First Warlord. A battle hardened warrior, he agrees to take Kisri to her cousin at another location. Kisri and Ennon are attracted to each other but Ennon knows she can never be his. However, Ennon doesn’t take into account how Kisri feels. From the moment she met Ennon she felt her lioness struggle to claim him and be claimed by him. She knows once she meets up with her cousin, she will be forced back into the role of a princess and married off. So she asks Ennon to show her the ways of pleasure so she will always have that memory. But when magic enters the picture, Kisri and Ennon will have to make a choice and fight for what they want.
Kisri and Ennon are smoking hot together as they battle then fall into their attraction of each other. In a very naughty teacher-student type relationship, Ennon teaches a very adept Kisri all the erotic ways of passion. RAWR! Both are intelligent skillful warriors in their own right and a perfect match for each other. I really like that they aren’t given a perfect relationship. Lion and lioness fight for domination and the submission.
Although it doesn’t have quite the same emotional impact as the first one in the series, all in all a wonderful erotic fairy tale and I look forward to the third book in this series-to be announced.

Great review! I whole heartily agree and like what you’ve said :)
I can’t help but stare at the cover. I think Bree and Donna are blessed with amazing covers. And well…her books are always a pleasure to read. =)
Just about all of what you claim happens to be astonishingly legitimate and that makes me wonder why I had not looked at this with this light before. Your piece really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this subject goes. However there is actually just one point I am not really too comfy with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the central theme of your position, let me observe just what the rest of your subscribers have to say.Well done.
