Product Description

Enter a world where dragons and knights fight together to protect their home and the special women who share their lives. Passion and discovery mark their journey through a time of war, when each will be tested and only the strength of their love can see them through. Maiden Flight A chance meeting with a young male dragon seals the fate of an adventurous poacher. The dragon's partner, Sir Gareth, takes one look at the woman and decides to do a little poaching of his own. He falls deeply in love with Belora and wants her for his mate, but to marry a knight, a woman must also accept the dragon, the dragon's mate? and her knight too. Border Lair Adora yearns for Sir Jared, but becomes emotionally attached to Lord Darian, an honorable man who gave up his title, lands, and home in order to warn the dragons and knights of his king's evil plan. Both men admire the lovely Adora, but Jared's broken heart will not easily mend. It will take two dragons, a good friend and the love of his life to heal him and help them all form a family in this time of crisis.

(Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)       Amazon Verified Purchase Ladies of the Lair includes the first two of the Dragon Knights series: Maiden Flight & Border Lair. Maiden Flight: There are not many human females in the world who have the ability to speak with a dragon, much less the courage to stand up to one. When the dragon Kelvan meets the human woman Belora, he knows she is special and resolves to take her to his Knight, Gareth, who will know what to do. Gareth and Belora are instantly drawn to each other, falling in love at once. Gareth knows recognizes Belora as his true mate, but worries that she will turn away from him when he reveals his secrets to her. Will Belora be able to live the life of a Dragon Knight's mate? And when her own secrets are revealed, how will they change both her life and her mother's? This was the first book of Bianca D'Arc's that I read, and I was instantly mesmerized! D'Arc draws the reader in to her story from page one, engendering familiarity with her characters as if the reader has known them for some time. Belora's and Gareth's love is a tender, almost innocent romance, but don't let that fool you. The story is filled with plenty of spicy scenes, including ménage scenes! Setting the story in a fantasy realm gives the author a prime opportunity to create a valid reason for the ménage, and she not only makes you understand it, but agree with it. If you love dragons, knights, and sweet romances chock full of sexiness, this is a must-read! Border Lair: Adora's story is introduced in Book One of the Dragon Knights series, where she is reunited with her long-lost surrogate dragon mother, Kelzy, who is mother to Adora's daughter Belora's dragon, Kelvan. Widowed since Belora was a small child, Adora has struggled to provide a good and happy life for Belora, in spite of the heartbreak suffered by both when Adora's oldest twin daughters were kidnapped as toddlers. A talented healer, Adora has supported herself and her youngest daughter by healing the townspeople. When Belora mated with Gareth and Lars, Adora returned to her woodland shack alone. But when evil attacked the town, leaving it desolate and empty, she is taken in by Kelzy and her dragon Knight, Jared. Jared thought his life over when his family was murdered. Kelzy gave him a reason to live, bonding with him and making him her dragon Knight. When Adora is attacked in her cottage, Jared and Kelzy rescue her, bringing her to their den, where Jared tends to Adora's wounds until she is well. Having resolved never to love again, Jared is determined not to allow himself to fall in love with Adora, yet finds her irresistible. When his old friend Darien also falls for Adora, will Jared finally admit his feelings to both himself and Adora? Bianca D'Arc created a magical world with Book One of the Dragon Knights series, and picks up where she left off in Book Two, Border Lair. From the beginning of Book Two, the reader feels as if they simply turned another page in the same story, with no noticeable passage of time between the two stories. The love story of Jared, Adora, and Darien is a mature romance between adults, and yet is filled with the same sweet innocence the first book boasted. The lead characters' motivations are so pure and noble one can't help but fall for each in their own right. In this sequel, we learn more about Adora and Belora's secrets, unknown even to the women themselves. We meet a Black Dragon, who is full of his own secrets, and we learn more of the threats their Skithdronian enemies pose, and the atrocities by the enemy king. Once again, D'Arc treats us to many steamy love scenes, including some ménage themes. I highly recommend this story and its companion books to anyone who enjoys sexy fantasy stories!

Ladies of the Lair includes the first two of the Dragon Knights series: Maiden Flight & Border Lair.

Maiden Flight:

Gareth and Belora are instantly drawn to each other, falling in love at once. Gareth knows recognizes Belora as his true mate, but worries that she will turn away from him when he reveals his secrets to her.

Will Belora be able to live the life of a Dragon Knight's mate? And when her own secrets are revealed, how will they change both her life and her mother's?
