Description
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.
She was saved by a dragon lord. And now he thinks he owns her.
Rescued as a baby by Tyomar, a powerful alpha bonded to a fierce dragon, Oshali was raised in a secluded sanctum. Historic tales of adventure and epic love captivate her, and she’s convinced there is a breathtaking world beyond the sanctum’s walls.
Twenty-five years later, she is now the liaison between the sanctum and Tyomar’s notorious clan… and his visits are equally rousing and nerve-racking.
The rules of the sanctum forbid him from seeing her face, but she is in awe of his intense good-looks and charm, even though she knows he still sees her as a child.
When Oshali accepts an assignment to travel across dangerous war-torn lands without her veil, Tyomar is furious. His overbearing protection reveals a fierce, dark possession.
Insatiable fire ignites between them.
And the passionate tension erupts into something deliciously carnal.
Yet Oshali knows Tyomar is a threat to her heart and her freedom. He refuses to leave her side, and she refuses to tolerate his controlling interference.
When a shocking revelation about her heritage exposes a deception, Oshali must choose where her loyalties lie, knowing Tyomar won’t easily relinquish what he has decided is his.
A LAIR SO LOYAL is the second book in The Last Dragorai, a steamy fantasy romance series. This series can be read as standalones but will be better enjoyed if read in order. Includes a HEA.
Reviews
His dragon always knew
4By bellagypsygirlThis series is fascinating and I’m enjoying it so much. The world Zoey Ellis has built is enthralling. I’m a huge connoisseur of dark romance and dark omegaverse but this lighter version of omegaverse is amazing. I have adored both of the alpha dragorai we’ve gotten to know. The dragons being separate but connected entities is perfection! Oshali was given to the Mheyu to raise when she was just a baby by Tyomar. He never fully revealed the story of how he found the baby to the Mheyu, his brothers never knew he’d even found a baby. I don’t want to give anything away but it’s so perfect! Oshali is ready to go out on her own now but Tyomar has other ideas. He can’t let his little cloak go and this being a fated mates story I’m sure you can figure out where they end up. Story 4.5, Heat 2.5/5, Darkness 1/5, Angst 2/5 Medium burn, there’s a bit before they get down to business but they consummate their relationship at 50%. Omegaverse, so typical expectations of knotting and heats. Virgin h, push away from h, no OW/OM drama, small separation. No cheating, no cliffhanger and HEA. I’d consider this a safe read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Good, but...
4By readinghealsThe misspelled words and extra words interfere with the flow of the book.Dragon Fun
5By IjpankoFascinating story and probably one of the most delicious dragon tales I have ever come across. Dragons are notoriously known for their alpha ways… mix that with omegaverse and you get a splendid read! Love these covers…. But the blurb and author are amazing and as always an auto buy in my book! What did I like? Tyomar regularly visits Oshali on dragori issues but there’s more going on than meets the eye. Dragori females have died out and what follows is how Tyomar recognizes his mate. This book is sinfully delicious. I’m going to reread both in this series but I couldn’t put this one down until I finished. Five fantastic stars! Would I recommend or buy? I’ve bought a copy…this is an autobuy author because I seriously support her writing. I read hundreds of books a year but this author has never disappointed! I’m selfishly on her review team because she is a fabulous writer! Love omegaverse then you will love this! This is also one of the best dragon series I’ve come across! Love the alpha attitude in this one! I received a complimentary copy to read and voluntarily left a review!Loved the fiery couple! (pun intended)
5By AnnieBGood2525I absolutely loved this installment. Perhaps it was because I have an emotional connection to Oshali due to her abandonment issues and feeling that she always had to fend for herself even when help is offered. But I absolutely adored the trope where she and the hero Tyomar seem to not be able to get along, even though we know they secretly adore each other. Ellis did a wonderful job as usual of writing in the 3rd person (my personal preference actually) but still presenting the characters in such a way that you get both of their POVs. I adore having insight into both characters’ views of the same situation without the typical chapter from her perspective and chapter from his, which I find stilted. The author is really quite talented at this. The typos notwithstanding, I very much enjoyed the story and the love scenes as usual. I read eagerly and emotionally connected to all the characters and I appreciated how the brothers were vividly drawn, creating anticipation for their installments particularly Sethorn. ;) The colder they are, the harder they fall lol. Although Oshali was a little too quick to get upset with Tyomar about something he did (but actually explained why he had to do it), I related to her being triggered by it and I found that it didn’t slow down the story even though it challenged the couple. And again their passion for each other which arose from a ton of frustration was very satisfying once it unfolded. ;) I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.Beautifully written and excellent from start to finish
5By RIDdleMeKissI’m a huge Zoey Ellis fan so I always expect great things and she never disappoints. I was so impressed by book one, and book two managed to captivate and enthrall me so much so that I couldn’t put it down until I’d devoured it. This world is incredible and vivid, the writing is phenomenal, the characters are interesting and relatable, and the plot is unpredictable and well executed. This book builds on what happened in book one and takes it to the next level. I loved it and can’t wait to see what happens next!Sweet but still fiery!
4By KittyChan44Unlike the other books in Zoey’s collection, Oshali and Toymar’s book is a bit lighter - but impressively still has that same fire. I absolutely love that. I like how even if it didn’t have the same angst as the other books (or book, since this is the second in The Last Dragorai series) it didn’t take away from the rawness of the love between these two characters. There is so much that goes on in this book - along with some new character reveals - that I’m excited to read the next book. Also, when is big hunky brother Khyros’ book coming out?! I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
