Summary:

He is on the prowl...For his most luscious prize...
The youngest of the Satyr brothers, Lyon enjoys working in the family's Tuscan vineyards, caring for his menagerie of animals and bedding beautiful women. But he knows he must fulfill his destiny of taking the last daughter of King Feydon as his bride. And so he travel to Paris to wed the infamous Juliet Rabelais...
A celebrated courtesan noted for both her culinary - and carnal - talents, Juliet is a voluptuous beauty with a body meant to tease. And with a full moon only days away, Lyon is quickly aroused. But after a night of intimacy, Lyon wonders if Juliet is truly a mistress of sensual pleasure or whether his sexual mastery will be her undoing...

My Thoughts:

This book was a little confusing even though I enjoyed it.
Lyon goes to Paris to find his bride and he thinks he finds her. He lays down with a Nereid and does the horizontal tango thinking its his soon to be wifey. In comes Juliet. She's walking down the street and comes across Ms. Nereid and Lyon doing the nasty and she feels like she's having sex with Lyon. Weeeiiiiirrd.
Apparently Ms. Juliet works in a brothel but she doesn't sell her body - Noooooo... she sells food. And because she's a little faerie, she uses food to trick men into thinking they had sex with her. You go girl! Her boss is totally sketchy and wants to sleep with her but wants to keep her innocence in tact. And get this, if he thinks she's been screwing around he 'checks' to make sure she's still a virgin. Gross.
So Juliet does her little food lurvin with Lyon and gives him a butt load of memories thinking that he actually did and done her. Well, once a month these Satyr boys have to have sex and if they don't then they die. So Ms. Nereid comes to him, has sex with him, and gets prego...
So when Juliet finds out, she's like ' oh its cool.. you're my sister'.
uhhhh.. WHAT!?
Apparently back in the day, someone murdered her sister but this little nymph thing took her body. so the nymph lady lied to Juliet and had Lyon's baby. But she doesn't want the baby, she wants Lyon's protection which he can only give if he's married to her. but he HAS to marry Juliet.
sooooo confusing but they work it all out in the end...
Oh and Juliet's boss? That's her brother...

So... go to your local bookstore or order online just as long as you don't make this book full of forgotten pages.
