Customer Reviews

A great start to a new series from a very talented author!

This story takes place after the Dragon Lords series. King Attor of Var has taught his sons to be strong and not to rely on the love of one woman. They vow to live up to his expections and never fall in love. Prince Kirill becomes king after Attor is killed. He now bears the responsibility of the kingdom. Ulyssa Pane is on a mission for the Human Intelligence Agency. She needs to make sure the Medical Mafia leader doesn't leave the planet of Qurilixen. When he is killed by his own daughter it seems like her mission is over, but the Agency can't pick her up for three months, so she is stuck on the planet. She gets kidnapped by Attor and brought to the palace. When she tries to escape, she is caught by Kirill who tells her the king is dead and he is now responsible for her fate. She never dreamed she would have to become his mistress, much less fall in love with this The Savage King. We are now back on the planet of Quilixen and are following the adventures of King Kirill and his three brothers. Kirill and his kind are cat-shapeshifters and Kirill is an all alpha male. He does his duty, knows he is strong and is utterly surprised when his path crosses with the sassy, unpredictable and very stubborn Ulyssa. Michelle M. Pillow has written fantastic characters that will steal their way into your heart. From the very first page on, Ms. Pillow draws us into a believable world with multi-dimensional characters and great action. Her love scenes will get the reader squirming and the sexual tension between Kirill and Ulyssa just sizzles through the whole book. The plot is moves along at a good pace and will hold the reader's attention so that the book will have to be read in one sitting. There are some nice twists and turns in the plot and we get to meet the Dragon Lords and their wives again. This reviewer just couldn't stop until it was finished. The story ends with just a hint of what's to come next. Michelle M. Pillow certainly has another winner and this reviewer will be waiting impatiently for the next in this great new series.

A powerful King, not wanting love but cannot resist

Lords of the Var: The Savage King (Book 1) King Kirill became King once his father was murdered. His father had taught his sons to have many women therefore King Kirill was not looking for love. Until an agent comes to planet Qurilixion to look for a biological weapon that the former King had acquired. Ulyssa was only there strictly on business. She was captured and eventually became King Kirill's lover. Many things happen and before she can realize she was slowly falling in love with him in denial, and tries many avenues of escape. King Kirill was also falling for Ulyssa as well. It was taught to have many women from his father but he couldn't--he only wanted her. Fighting the ruling of his kingdom, the previous rules for women and fighting his feelings for Ulyssa, he had to make a choice and fight for it. In the meantime, he had to also convince Ulyssa to be his lover. That was hard. Many hot sexy scenes. Many fights. This book is definitely a great start to the story of the Var's part of the planet. GREAT READ as well as a GREAT SERIES to follow up from the Draig series.

a good sci-fi & romance series

Agent Ulyssa Payne (Lyssa) with the Human Intelligence Agency was sent to the planet of Qurilixen on a mission involving the Medical Mafia, now she is stuck on the barbarian planet until the Agency can retrieve her in about 3 months. While camped out in the forest she is captured by the Var, a handsome race of cat shape shifters. The newly crowned King Kirill of the Var and Lyssa share a instant attraction, but the king and his brothers were raised by their father who was a hard man that taught them to distant themselves from emotions and that they should not restrict themselves to just one woman. Lyssa was trained to keep her idenity a secret and going from orphanage to the strict agency, she also struggles with the new feelings she has to deal with. This is a good sensual romance that I enjoyed very much.

Lords of the Var

A continuation of the wonderful world of Qurilixen. Just the right amount of subplot and sexy romance to keep a reader going. I loved this book and can't wait for the rest of the Lords of the Var to be challenged by their women.

What a great book

This book is great with hot and steamy sex scene. This is the first time I have read a book by this author and I love this book, so I will absolutely read her other books. Can't wait!
