review 1: There are some really great things about this book and some really bad things. The fantasy plot and descriptions are great. They really paint a picture of a different world and it is nice to read some erotica with a story. Particularly in the second half of the book the plot really picks up.But the characters are empty of personality. Lana's only distinctive personality trait is that she likes to have sex all the time and without any regard to situation whatsoever. I realize that this is an erotic novel and the characters having sex all the time is pretty much the point. And if that is what you are looking for in a story, this is the one for you. Lots of sex in very creative ways. I enjoy a good 'sex with a stranger under a waterfall' fantasy as much as the next girl... more, but it sucks me out of the story when I am wondering why the heroine is doing such a thing. If I ran into a stranger in the deserted woods I would be wondering if he was a killer or rapist and if I was trying to save a village of my nearest and dearest I wouldn't stop to have sex with a stranger. It was really ridiculous. There was just a general lack of explanation of the characters feelings about their relationship. They go from stranger sex to Lana abandoning her entire life for love in about a chapter. I was wondering when that happened and why. I really wish there had been as much effort spend expanding on our characters' emotions and motivations as there was describing their sex scenes. Some actual conflict between them would have been nice too.
review 2: Lady Of The Drake is a story of love found in the most unexpected places.We meet Lana, a midwife and healer for her small village, as she treks into the mysterious forest in search of a cure for a plague hounding her friends. She meets Alaron, keeper of the forest, and we're immediately introduced to their incredible passion for each other. As their story progresses, we see the bond they form clearly and share in Lana's distress as she's separated from her love, and the life changing decisions she must make in order to be happy.I found this to be an enjoyable story, with lots of wonder interspersed into the lines. The author creates a world easy to escape into, and the love scenes are fantastic. Overall, I give this one four stars.A good read for a quiet weekend. less
