review 1: 3.0 StarsReijir Arthanna, the Lord of Ilmaren, is a survivor of a troubled past. Abused by his sire and betrayed by his first love, Reijir has not risked his heart in years and has no intention of doing so ... until Naeth Orosse enters his life. During a tavern brawl, Naeth saves Reijir from a head bashing. When fate brings them together again, Reijir returns the favor and becomes the the orphaned youth's guardian. Reijir successfully fends off Naeth's flirtations and ignores their mutual attraction, until Naeth reaches the age of consent and decides to go after the lord he has come to love. This one was okay. I wasn't as smitten with this couple as I was with Dylen and Riodan. I can't put my finger on the source of my ambivalence other than to say that the chemistry was n... moreot really there for me. It may have something to do with the fact that Naeth was Reijir's ward and - even after Naeth reaches the age of consent (30 years old) - Reijir refers to him as "youth." Blech. It was nice to revisit with some of the extended cast of characters (as always, I love Rohyr and Dylen) but they played very minor roles. The writing, as usual, was tight and moved at a fairly nice clip.Bottom line: I wish I loved this one more than I did.
review 2: This was the third in the series. You see the couples from the other books in this one. I enjoyed watching the innocence of Naeth melt Reijir. Reijir is so harden from his past that Naeth slips past his defenses and before he knows it has made himself a part of Reijir. Reijir needed the whole devotion that Naeth gives him. I did think Naeth a little too naive to the point of just being stupid. Reijir was almost too harsh. It was an interesting combo. This book just didn't have as much drama as the first. Still a fun complex book. less
