Commanded to marry, these passionate men will travel to Rome, Venice, and Paris - and along the way will explore desires both shamelessly wicked and blissfully divine...He had sworn to take a proper wife. He hadn't bargained on meeting his match...Nicholas looks very much like what he is - the handsome, successful heir to a vineyard in Tuscany. But Nicholas is much more, for he is one of the last in an ancient line of satyr men. And the dying king of ElseWorld wants him not only to marry, but to wed one of the king's own daughters - a half-human, half-faerie woman unaware of her heritage. Nicholas won't shirk his duty to produce heirs to guard his race's legacies, but he never plans to make his bride his only lover. A satyr's sexual hunger and sensual skills are legendary. One woman will never satisfy him.Or so Nicholas believes until he meets Jane. As spirited as she is fey, as beautiful as she is innocent, she is nevertheless determined to make her new husband hers alone - and she's eager for him to teach her every deliciously carnal secret he knows... | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

4.5 Klovers! Courtesy of CK2S Kwips & KritiquesAug 20, 2007
By Jennifer Ray Half-man, half-satyr, but undeniably all male, Nicholas is the eldest of the three Satyr brothers, who have long tended the vineyards to which their very lives are bound. Protectors of the secret joining place between ElseWorld and EarthWorld, the brothers are no strangers to duty.
And so when, from his deathbed, King Feydon charges the Satyr brothers to find the three half-human, half-faerie daughters he secretly fathered almost twenty years ago and then to marry them in order to protect them, the brothers find themselves unable to refuse the Elder's dying wishes.
With little trouble, Nicholas finds his bride nearby in Tivoli, and secures their marriage contract with little obstacle. But marriage to the lovely and determined Jane proves more of a challenge than he ever expected.
Jane hasn't the faintest idea why the handsome and powerful Nicholas Satyr chose her as his intended, but she is quick to recognize the marriage as her best way out of a bad situation and negotiates terms that will assure her security and ability to care for her younger sister. But escape from her diabolical aunt and wastrel of a father is not without a price - she must give herself unconditionally to her strange new husband, all the while protecting the secrets that threaten to destroy her.
In June of 2007, Amazon.com recommended an intriguing book to me by an author I had not previously heard of. The book was not yet available, and I added it to my wish list at Amazon with the intention of ordering it later. Imagine my delight when the author of that very book emailed me the next month and asked if I would consider reviewing it! While I was indeed honored by her request, I was even more excited to read a book I was already itching to get my hands on, and I responded with a resounding `Yes!' that must surely have broken Elizabeth Amber's eardrums, even though it was in email format! LOL
Nicholas: The Lords of Satyr, Book 1 arrived in the mail the following week, and after I finished drooling over the cover, I started reading it - even though I had little spare time with a trip out of town that week followed by family visiting me the following week. I found myself enthralled by both the characters and the story itself, and squeezed in reading time anywhere I could find it to consume this book - lunch hour, waiting in the car for the train to pass, and then toting it along on my trip so I could finish it in the hotel room before bed. I can tell you honestly, had it not been for a manic schedule that week, I would have finished Nicholas in one sitting.
Nicholas is as lusty a hero as you would expect from a Satyr, and delivers some rather titillating surprises in the boudoir sure to make even the most jaded of erotica readers squirm in their seats a little! His devotion to duty and family is admirable, but his passion and caring for his unexpected wife will melt the stoniest of hearts.
It would be exceedingly difficult to not like Jane. Her straightforward honesty coupled with her tender heart serve well to endear her to both Nicholas and the readers. Although born into a time when women had few rights, she has a backbone that would rival most men, and the ability to save not only herself, but those she loves when necessary.
Although arranged marriages are not atypical for the time period this story is set in, the romance between our couple definitely begins in a most unconventional manner. Bound by the strictures of a society that deems it unseemly for a husband and wife to enjoy their marriage bed, the pair share rather perfunctory sexual episodes at first, until both are quite frustrated by the unfulfilled passions brewing inside each of them. Casting off the social mores that have left them unsatisfied, they begin to explore their passion without boundaries, heating up both their bedchamber and the story quite nicely!
I have to admit, Nicholas left me wanting - wanting the next book in this wonderful new series, that is! And I have to say, I'm already a little disappointed at the thought that with only three brothers, the series may end with that number of books. I know I'll be hoping for some cross-over characters to continue these sexy romances with when we've come to the end of the three Satyr brothers' stories! If you enjoy Paranormal/Fantasy Romances set in a Historical period, then you will definitely want to pick up a copy of this one very soon!

This was a well-written story with many non-vanilla erotic scenes. It was enjoyable.Jan 10, 2008
By Jane I was surprised several times, which is unusual for me. Story brief: The king of faery is dying, and his last wish is for the three Satyr brothers to find and marry his three illegitimate daughters who are half human and half faerie. This book is about Nicholas who finds and marries Jane. She doesn't know that she is half faerie and thinks she is deformed somehow. When they marry, she tries to hide her faerieness from Nick. He in turn thinks wives are not supposed to enjoy sex. They eventually change their opinions. Two subsequent books are about the other two brothers (Raine and Lyon) finding and marrying their half-faerie brides. Sexual language: erotic. Number of sex scenes: about twenty-nine. Setting: 1823 Tuscany, Italy. Genre: erotic paranormal romance.

Better than expected.Aug 14, 2007
By Attorney Chick Texas It took me a while to decide what to say in this review. This is an interesting story. I was torn on a rating, it needed to be more developed to get a 5 but it was certainly erotic way beyond a 5. So I settled for a 4. I was not sure what I expected, but without a doubt the story and characters were more than I expected. Nick was much kinder and likeable than I expected him to be in the beginning and Jane was tougher and funnier.
While I don't want to spoil the book, some parts tied to sex were for me just a little too unexplained. It was not the ideas that bothered me, but, I felt a bit like Jane and was rather tired of the "satyr way" being the excuse for so much action without more explanation. There needs to be a little more background, just to flesh out the whys and whatfors.
The book is certainly hot and lots of fantasies are played out. Worth a read, but look out for who might be looking over your shoulder, cuz it could be embarrassing...I will probably read the books for the other brothers too, but right now, I am not sure I really like the brothers, they were such a tiny part of this book, I found my self more iterested in Jane's little siste. I would read another book by Ms. Amber again.

a potent mythology and sex mix that is right on targetSep 09, 2007
By Deborah MacGillivray
"Author,"
Nicholas is not simply a handsome man, a rich man. He is a half-human handsome man! His other side is a satyr, a creature that is given to sexual excesses that are near animalistic. He and his brothers give themselves over to rituals that slake their lust, which takes place once a month at their villa in Tuscany, Italy. Most people only see the three men as exceedingly attractive males, little guessing the dark secret they protect on their vast estate. Everything is just the way they want it, until a messenger comes.
Actually, it's more than a message - it's a demand the three brothers locate and marry three very specific women who are half-faerie and half-human. The women in question are not fully aware of their nature, and all three are in danger. They need a protector. From time's beginning the Satyrs protect the Faeries, as human women cannot bare a Satyr's child, only Faerie's can. In order to insure the continued existence of their line, the brothers must marry and produce an heir. Thus, Nicholas sets out to find Jane.
Jane is becoming aware of her fey abilities, yet cannot control them, and remains
totally unaware she is the target of true evil. From the start, Nicholas and Jane are attracted to each other, but their natures push against their desires, both carnal and spiritual.
The loosely base mythology tale is the launching pad for the highly charged, sensual novel that is a cut above general erotica. They character of Jane and Nicholas are very well drawn, coming alive for the reader as real people. Amber delivers hot sexual encounters, but as an integral part of the plot, not for pushing-buttons sake.
An excellent debut, that leaves you eager for the story of the next two brothers.
Very highly recommended.
Also recommend Lord of the Deep by Dawn ThompsonLord of the Deep (Aphrodisia) Book 1 of The Elementals

Will fry your hair offDec 02, 2007
By Georgia
"Reader"
Very very hot book that has a believable love story and plot. The sex is mostly between Nicholas and Jane and that's where the love story is.
Good to read a female villain for a change--and what a fascinating villain she is!
This is not your average erotic romance. It has more heart and weight, meaning a more substantial story/setting. It's not perfect, but pretty damn close.
On my keeper shelf to be read again. Definitely!
Cannot wait to try other books by this author.
