Krysten’s Review | A Lair So Sinful by Zoey Ellis

From a dark, magic-ravaged world comes an enthralling new fantasy romance series. Five brothers, last of an ancient Alpha bloodline, each bound by fire and blood to their majestic dragons.

Captive in a dragon lord’s lair. No memory. Stripped bare.

I’mya awakens to find herself the property of Nyro—a rare and powerful Alpha bonded to a monstrous dragon. Like the other women in the lair, her only purpose is to satiate his every fantasy, but the beautiful omega is hiding a dark secret—even from herself.

From the first explosive encounter with Nyro, her incredible power is unleashed.

His carnal desires feed the fire of her magic.

Nyro’s captivation with her turns to possession, and I’mya becomes more than a plaything for him.

But as shards of her memories puzzle back together, her mind finally unveils the compelling truth.

A purpose much more sinister than pleasure.

Passion. Obsession. Betrayal.

I’mya must fulfill her quest, regardless of the cost. Nyro has conquered her body, but if he discovers the truth behind her presence in his lair… it is her life he will take.

A LAIR SO SINFUL is the first book in an adult fantasy romance standalone series. This story includes romance of a dark nature and a HEA.

I received this book for free from Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Raise your hand if you love dragons? Me. Me. Me. I love a good dragon story and this one was full of dragon goodness. I couldn’t put it down. Throw in romance and I. AM. SOLD. This is a guaranteed HEA, paranormal romantasy, standalone, quick read.

I’mya awakens with no recollection of who she is or why she is suddenly under a mountain and the property of Nyro, one of 5 powerful Alpha Dragorai brothers bonded to Dragons. Her purpose as his property or as one of his many kon’aya? To satiate Nyro’s most carnal desires. As is the dragon way, I’mya goes from being his property to his obsession and I’mya wouldn’t have it any other way.

“𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥. 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬 – 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.”

As powerful beings, the Dragorai tend to leave the lesser-humans to fend for themselves. This includes letting a war between the north and south lands brew and destroy each other around them. But… the plot thickens and the more I’mya is exposed to Nyro’s magic, the more of her memories return and her vision becomes clear. Torn between doing what she must, her growing fondness for Nyro, and protecting her new friends under the mountain, I’mya has a choice to make. Will her power get unleashed?

“𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 – 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡.”

This book was hotter than a dragon’s flames. It was animalistic, searing, and completely visceral. For a few seconds, I imagined I was learning about dragon mating from animal planet. Seriously, some of the descriptions had my wheels turning but my heart was still racing. Overall, I am excited to read the next book in the series, about a different brother. Though the story was great, there were some structure and grammatical issues that couldn’t be overlooked in my ARC copy.

“𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝…”

Oh Hi! I’m Krysten (@ladyofbookshire). Wife. Mom to two fur-babies. Lover of Fiction, Fantasy, Romance and I spend every day (almost) trying to make Romantasy an actual genre. It’s my favorite. I call sunny Orlando, Florida home. That’s right… i’m 15 minutes from Disney World. I mainly only text in GIFs. I have a ridiculous sweet tooth. I’m originally from Maryland. The only thing I may love more than reading is coffee… this is still up for debate. I’m passionate about finding new stories and sharing them with others and am always open to having a reading conversation. Not a fan of love triangles unless they are done really well and I love dark romance… especially a dark romantasy. That genre will always call to my heart.
