Book 1 in the Phoenix Rising series

The Law of the love goddess Lufra states that no man may take his pleasure inside any part of a woman's body, unless she has climaxed first. Each time, every time. But when warrior-scout Anje is taken captive by Brin, Lufra's shaman, she discovers that not even divine law can protect her from the erotic wiles of two determined men.

Huge, dark and enigmatic, Brin wears a tattoo of the holy dragon on his magnificent body. Years of erotic training have given him skills and stamina Anje cannot match. But it's the strength of his will that threatens to conquer her very soul, while his beautiful young friend Trey has a bravado and a vulnerability that make her mouth water.

Anje fears Brin's arrogant prediction may be true—"You'll surrender, scout, and you'll glory in it. You'll abandon yourself and adore it. Because you trust—trust absolutely." Screaming and cursing her ecstasy, she learns that dark raptures are addictive. But neither man is what he seems and all three are pawns in a suicidal scheme to placate an angry goddess. Saving her lovers will take everything Anje's got—as a woman and a warrior.

Note: This book contains graphic male/male sexual interaction.




Cindy (USA: NV) (2009/10/06):
Good read. The sex scenes are pretty non-stop, but for once they are actually part of the plot. The warrior priest Brin and his sidekick Trey [also a warrior who turns out to be a prince] capture the heroine Anje, a scout for a different people, to serve as a sacrifice to their goddess. NO, not THAT kind of sacrifice - she and Brin are perform an extreme, sustained sexual ritual to please their goddess and return fertility to the tribe. Thus the sexual fun and games performed on the way back to their temple are all part of the preparation. But like all good stories the path never runs smoothly... They are attacked by really big ugly lizard people - with Brin's heroic efforts Anje and Trey escape but Brin is captured so they have to come back and rescue him... During the various activities of the trip, it becomes obvious that Trey is deeply in love with Brin who is refusing to even look at the possibility. Anje nudges that relationship along and eventually they end up with a loving triad. The fact that Anje and Brin are both dominant and Trey isn't - makes for a little different dynamics than the usual triad story. It's a good thing that Brin has a REALLY big bed...
