She trespassed on his land. Now she is his to keep.
A Lair So Primal, an all new adult fantasy stand-alone romance from author Zoey Ellis is available now!
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.
While traveling to a dragon lord’s lair, Elora crosses forbidden land belonging to the lord’s brother, a viciously territorial alpha named Zendyor. Known for his legendary temper, Zendyor and his bonded dragon are feared across the realm… and now, because of one mistake, she must be turned over to him.
Though she has suffered tragedies through a long-waged war that would make most crumble, Elora is the ultimate optimist and looks to the future with hope. But nothing prepares her for the seductiveness of his fury.
Terrified, she tries to avoid him and shine a light against the darkness that permeates his lair, but the alpha will not allow it. His dark attentions turn into a carnal obsession.
Soon she is caught in his storm, unable to tell the difference between his never-ending fury and his primal hunger for her. When a sudden opportunity arises to escape him, Elora discovers secrets about herself that crush her eternal optimism.
But Zenyor will not allow her to evade his claim. As his rage reaches heights that threaten the realm, he wants everything she is. He may be the final battle she cannot survive.
A LAIR SO PRIMAL is the third book in The Last Dragorai, an adult fantasy romance series. This series can be read as standalones but will be better enjoyed if read in order. Includes romance of a dark nature and a HEA.
Zoey Ellis writes dark, magical, fantasy romances about tortured, possessive, alpha anti-heroes and the sassy heroines who belong to them (even if they don’t want to!). Filled with passionate, carnal steam, Zoey’s stories feature couples that go through tough journeys and make mistakes but ultimately have to grow for each other to survive the dark worlds they inhabit.
Described as ‘deliciously dark’ and ‘unputdownable’, Zoey’s thrilling, fantastical romances come complete with roller-coaster twists and turns, unique worlds, and happy endings.
Zoey is a Londoner, cat mama, and proud romance and epic fantasy addict. She loves jealous/possessive heroes, sexual tension that jumps off the page, and memorable, magical worlds. She reads most genres of romance and has a special love for the ‘true mates’ trope and dark angst. However, she enjoys all different genres of fiction, usually on the darker side.
When not working on her stories, Zoey is usually gaming, buddying reading with friends or stumbling upon new and ridiculous ways to mess up a date!
A Lair So Primal by Zoey Ellis is the third book in The Last Dragorai series and it was magical, intense, heartbreaking at times, and highly erotic. I had been anticipating Elora and Zendyor's book ever since they were first introduced in the series and their romance did not disappoint. I would not recommend reading this as a standalone because it establishes upon the world-building, story, and lore from the first two books in the series. Zendyor is the third brother to fall in love and yet he is also the most temperamental, serious, and suspicious of them all. I absolutely loved watching him become completely obsessed and possessive over Elora even though I wanted to smack him on the side of the head because of how he was treating her initially. Elora is Zendyor's complete opposite because she is sweet, optimistic, kind, and endearing but she is also the foil to his character. Their interactions were intense, sexually charged, and passionate.
"Elora took comfort in Zendyor and feared him, he terrorized her and healed her. It wasn't supposed to be this way… This was dangerous, carnal, and even perverse."
Zoey Ellis has done a wonderful job establishing the relationship between Elora and Zendyor from previous books. Much like I'mya and Nyro's story, my favorite part of the book was their chemistry and push-pull relationship. I thought Elora was the heart of this book and it was heartbreaking to finally know the truth behind her faction and escape from the Northern Cities. Her optimistic and kind nature was what brought light to Zendyor's world and home. Even though their relationship was rocky at first because of Zendyor's suspicious nature, it eventually developed into something more over time. I loved how we could see Zendyor's struggle to believe in Elora and his increasing desire for her even when she was telling him the truth the entire time.
"I will always be your family. Your rock, your base, whenever you feel unsettled… I exist for you."
In the end, this was a fantastic addition to the series and I can't wait to read Sethorn and Uraya's book next! From what we know of him, Sethorn is charming but uses his looks to bed women and gets easily bored of them, also known as the strategist between the brothers, and can't help but get into arguments with Uraya who we met in the previous book. I am also really looking forward to Khyros' book, the leader of the Vattoro, because of his missing dragon. Elora and Zendyor's was everything I wanted and more. If you love a possessive and jealous hero who will stop at nothing to claim and protect the heroine, I highly recommend this series! It has magic, DRAGONS, steamy love scenes, wonderful characters, and a really well-built world.

That’s all she knows about him though.

Anna Zaires and Charmaine Paul's White Nights encompasses all that I love about these two authors. Want romance that's slightly gray with a side of angst, jealousy, and possessiveness? You're definitely going to get that with this duet. In White Nights, we get to see the developing romantic relationship between Alex Volkov and Kate Morell. There is no denying that these two characters come from entirely different worlds. Alex pursues Kate relentlessly throughout the book and will stop at nothing to protect and possess Kate. At the same time, readers are also aware that he is being targeted by an unknown individual.
"In a way, he is my white nights, my everlasting day, my magic."
While reading White Nights, I couldn't help but notice a couple of things: Alex's character is enshrouded in mystery and much like Kate, we are left wondering who he really is. Not only is he charismatic, possessive, and intense but also dangerous and ruthless as well. I hope that we'll be able to read his perspective because I am dying to know what he truly thinks of Kate and their relationship. Although Kate frustrated me because of her tendency to run away from Alex, I found her character very likeable and relatable. Her doubts were understandable because Alex made some very questionable moves that would cause anyone run the other way. Besides the intense romance between Alex and Kate, their love scenes were extremely hot, sensual, and erotic.
"I would've wanted you all the same. You can be whatever you like, but you'll still be mine."
In the end, there is nothing simple about their love story and I'm excited to see what Anna and Charmaine will have in store for us in Midnight Days. That one scene where Alex explained to Kate what white nights were captured my heart because he wanted to show her what it meant to him and where he came from. White Nights has the poetic prose and vulnerable emotion of Charmaine's heroines but also the dark and mysterious element that many of Anna's heroes possess. I loved every single moment of this book and I was reluctant to finish reading it because of that. Fans of Anna Zaires and Charmaine Pauls as well as those who like edgy romance will absolutely love this book, especially if you like driven heroes who will stop at nothing to possess his heroine and treat her like a queen.

Net Worth by Amelia Wilde was my first read by this author and it was intensely erotic, sexual, riveting, and even frustrating at times. It left me on the edge of my seat. I was thoroughly impressed by Amelia's writing and ability to write such a fascinating character in Mason Hill. He was multi-dimensional and had so many layers to him. Although he is portrayed as a cruel and heartless man hell bent on revenge—especially when he is with Charlotte, Mason also has the potential and ability to be a caring and loving individual. At times, I wanted to smack him for being so mean and thoughtless to Charlotte when she had nothing to do with her father's actions. I was frustrated by their relationship because I wanted more from him and for her to fight back. There is no denying that these two have some combustible chemistry with each other.
"My want for her has burst like a diamond into a million cutting shards. Each one of them refracts things I can't want and can't have."
Charlotte Van Kempt is the foil to Mason's character and while I do have my own frustrations with her, she might prove to be formidable in the future. Only time will tell if she comes to her own conclusions about her own family's part in the destruction of Mason's family and forsakes her father for his crimes. Charlotte is the typical innocent heroine in the dark romance genre who gives up her dreams to save her family by selling herself to the hero. There's not really much to her character so far and I hope that will change in the future. Charlotte is conflicted by her feelings for Mason. There's fear and shame but also attraction and desire. The things that Mason does to her are debasing and cruel but she unexpectedly finds pleasure in it.
"A dark, twisted part of me likes the feel of his grip in my face. It's not right. In fact, it's very wrong. My body trembles with the contradiction."
In the end, I do have my conflicting feelings for these two because their relationship feels like I'm watching a train crash and can't do anything about it. There are so many complications and things in the way of their happily ever after. Regardless of what Mason and Charlotte wants, their family had history with each other and revenge plots never turn out well for the one pursuing it. Besides the romance, I am very curious about the story behind his parents' death and would like to see the perpetrator punished. Fans of dark romance and Amelia Wilde will absolutely love her newest release, especially if you like revenge plots, forced relationships, and a romantic relationship that is morally grey.
