review 1: The Warlord's Concubine is a dark, seductive tale of an older handmaid named Mirella who is very good at surviving. When a strong enemy barrels into the kingdom and takes over, her talents will be put to the test. However, what starts as a plot to stay alive quickly escalates into a much deeper and personal ploy to not just win the approval but the heart of the new conqueror. While finding out about magic and treason, we see who who she really is.....and how far she is willing to go for her love.This might be a first for me to write about a book that I was completely enthralled with but HATED the main character. Not in a development way but just that I felt Mirella wasn't a good person! She was well defined and consistent, as well as someone you found yourself really under... morestanding at points seeing as she is a middle aged servant who you can see being a heroine at first. The second the shit hits the fan, however, she is plotting a way to save her own skin and damn anyone that get's in her way. She is stone cold and brutal right along side smart and cunning. That is a deadly combination. Her character is actually brilliance in word form, a diverse character with a motive to turn a story on it's head. Pretty much I loved the story but thought the character was a horrible human being, which really made it an intriguing read. The fact is I spent the whole story not wanting to Mirella to get her way, but still drooling over every moment and what was going to happen next. It is sexy, dark and will give you more than one surprise in it's pages. I finished reading in about a day and a half, and I am not a terribly fast reader so it was really easy to jump into and get lost in. Great story telling mixed with fascinating adventures along the way make this book a must read for me
review 2: My review:"Mirella often wonders what her life would’ve been like had she been born a princess, rather than the property of one." All starts when the beautiful city of Ariste is very illuminated... by the fire and war going in the city because of the invasion of the northern's; consuming everything that meant something for the elegant princess Anabelle Flair. While Anabelle was with her handmaiden; Mirella; in the height of the palace that took place in the slope of the Ariste Mountain, she asked Mirella where will they go, the only thoughts that crossed Mirella's were: to reason and sorrunder to them or she could throw herself from the window- only death awaiting her. Then, two barbarians of the northern entered the courts of Ariste ready to take the both of them, and when the two of them thought everything was going to be lost, it came a tall, dark figure, bigger and taller than the other two; he was very dark and smooth... and while he was looking at them the princess started to talk and he decided that the princess was to be his new concubine, but even as he said this his eyes were locked on Mirella's eyes. Mirella had never felt like this before, such a desire to be a concubine- and even if the northerns feared their lord, she certainly didn't and she let him know it. Later on, their desire and love started to grow. Mirella, now his principal concubine, did everything he asked her. She adored the God-King and wanted to please him in everything he so desired. He choosed her to be his new favorite and even choosed her to breed him an heir.Mirella has never felt like this before; it felt right and she couldn't feel more happy than to give birth to a child of his. When the story continues Mirella gets to know the God-King's mother: called the Seer of the Ka'reem (people of the northern place) a woman of long white hair, without color in her skin nor eyes- she was blind; she had great powers. When the seer came it was because in those following days a war was going to take place and the God-King, called Kulav, had to go away. But that wasn't the only reason- it was because she wanted to be close to Mirella; and now because Mirella has Kulav's blood in her she can be a witch of the coven. Kulav's not very happy by this as he has seen how his mother has gone because of all the magic and power she has in her- that she shouldn't, in which she has gone mad. When the God-King leaves for battle, the Seer has another vision and is that her son will have victory, but also death... and by that all the women; including Mirella; started to chant to help their great God-King win... and so they did, other paying more than others but at least Mirella's baby was going to be all right. The Seer was the one that choosed Mirella for her son- she knew Mirella would do anything for him and she did. This is the story of how Mirella felt in love with a God-King and how she served him, showing everyone that she was more capable of what they thought.My thoughts: Thank you so much to the authors for giving me an ARC of this book. It was a such a wonderful read... I loved how the story had those changes I never thought of. Let's be real, I never thought this story would have magic in it, nor many hot-wonderful scenes of love in them. I totally recommend this to anyone that wants to read an erotica book with wonderful descriptions of the places and people and romance/sex in them. 5/5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! less
