- Short biography
- Self-proclaimed “museum junkie” Elizabeth Amber was inspired by Greco-Roman artifacts. Her interest led her to study Art History in college and to visit many archaeological sites and museums in Italy and Greece. She became fascinated by the carnal depictions of satyrs, maenads and Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, celebrating the grape harvest. The decorations on these ancient urns, frescoes and amphorae became the inspiration for the erotic, historical, paranormal romances. She is best known for her “Lords of Satyr” series of novels.
She is married with one great husband and two cats, Chelsea and Biscuit. She is close friends with her mother and sister. They are all animal lovers.

Dominic (The Lords of Satyr, #4) by Elizabeth Amber
This was kind of terrible. The book has two novellas and both were not great. The magical system didn't make sense and the sex throughout was non-consensual. I haven't read any of the other books and have no plan to. Also - the sexual language was laughable but like unintended - the woman in the first story referred to her vagina and butt as her nether throats.
From the covers of this series, you wouldn't actually expect more than sex...but you'd be wrong. In the Lords of Satyr series, Elizabeth Amber has created an intricate world built of two realms, with nineteenth century Italy as its backdrop in one of those realms. The attention to historical detail and customs/culture as well as to character-building and story-telling is paramount, and while sex is certainly a serious part of the story, the larger canvas of world-building and story-telling has never been so apparent as it was in this fourth installment of the series, which actually contains two full tales rather than one (each previous book in the series has one story and romance per book).
Bridging paranormal romance and historical romance, this series has delved into the world-building more and more with each book, but the characters brought to life on the pages could carry the series by themselves. My only complaint here is that as much as I loved the first story in the book, which ran about 205 of the 315 pages, I was even more engrossed in the second story, and I wish each story had been given a full volume to itself (or else that the book had been longer so that we'd have had more time with the second one).
Regardless, though, I'd absolutely recommend this series to anyone interested.… (more)
