5.0 out of 5 stars
a good sci-fi & romance series, March 18, 2007
This review is from: Lords of the Var: The Savage King (Book 1) (Paperback)
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.

Love this series, February 13, 2011
The Savage King starts where The Dragon Lords series left off.
Ulyssa, kidnapped and held hostage in a harem by King Attor, is an agent for HIA. But when Attor dies, King Kirill takes over. Kirill and Ulyssa both are bound by their duty, and neither wants a permanent relationship. The problem is, they can't keep their hands off each other.
I really enjoyed the Dragon Lord series, and The Savage King is a great start to the Lords of Var series. Pillow did a great job of making me really like Ulyssa. She was funny and tough, and very likable. Kirill was a hard man, but vulnerable at the same time.
Can't wait to read the next in the series.

Force is never good..., March 6, 2007
This review is from: Lords of the Var: The Savage King (Book 1) (Paperback)
Let me start by saying I discoved Pillow at Ellora's Cavern with The Maiden and the Monster and fell in love with her writing. I was looking forward to a untamed erotic read with this expansive series, but that wasn't to be.
Ever read a romance/erotica that has so many male characters you can just see the series coming at you from a mile away? This was such a series. We meet a bevey of princely brothers and the first brother is, of course, our first hero.
Enter the heroine. Thrust the two at each other--and that is Pillow's attempt at a plot. I hate to read erotica when the couple is a forgone conclusion. This entire series is like that--each prince finds his princess, without any conflict, good dialog, or even thought. It is a forgone conclusiont hat the hero will have sex with the heroine that Pillow stops even attempting to make sense of the courtship or the fact that any woman would have turned tail and run.
I was deeply disappointed with this novel. The erotica scenes were ok, but lacked any warmth...and worse yet, the plot that held the entire story together was silly. Add in that so many characters from the pervious series of Dragon Lords appear--well, it all got confusing and dull.
