Desired by the Deep by Lyra Fawn: Review & Excerpt

Desired by the Deep
(Claimed by the Alpha Dolphins, #2)
by Lyra Fawn

On the run with two virile and heroic Dolphinae princes...

Torn by the constant rivalry between the Herakli and Atlanti Pods, Mona proposes a ménage arrangement to Dario and Lucan that might permit the Dolphinae to finally unite against their dreaded, common enemy: the Mordentes.

But as danger mounts, Mona finds herself embroiled within a squabble between backbiting ex-lovers and the politics of their two high-profile, international organizations.

Will her two alpha dolphins, both steeped in tradition, shake off the bonds of their inhibitions to accept the logical solution and act in time?

**Part Two of a five-part serialized BBW Paranormal Romance. Length: 22,000 words.**

Discretion is advised as this novella is only for readers over the age of 18. Explicit language and mature, uncensored love scenes are featured throughout. Periodic moments of romance, intimacy and lovemaking involve multiple partners actively participating in their human or supernatural forms. 
There was no way Mona's puritanical, landlocked mother would ever approve of her dating an oversexed, alpha dolphin shifter. Two alpha dolphins, no less! Maybe it was better that her mother wasn't speaking to her at the moment. But in retrospect, nobody could be more surprised than Mona about her current circumstances. Yes, she had a penchant for hot, muscular men. And there was no denying her attraction to everything connected with the sea. But falling into bed with someone on the first night was so uncharacteristic of her. There was no logical reason for her to have been so hot-to-trot. At the same time, even though she was attracted to Dario, she wasn't even sure if she liked him. He had definitely not behaved like a gentleman, and she had always prided herself on her ability to choose 'nice guys'. But for some reason, her libido had reigned supreme that night and completely overruled any common sense. She had felt compelled to sleep with him, almost as if hypnotized. It was a mystery.
Still, despite her present fears, she felt bound to her two Dolphinae princes. She couldn't deny the heady mix of curiosity, desire and loyalty that carried her onward. After learning of the Mordentes and the growing danger to the Dolphinae, she had little choice other than to accept her role as the Descendant. She had no idea if she would be up to whatever tasks lay ahead, but the life she was leaving behind seemed hollow and banal in comparison to the responsibility of her newfound destiny.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this story! Second in the series, we get to know the boys better, as Lyra gives more insight into what makes them tick as alpha males.  She introduces new characters, and Mona begins to come into her own, as she starts to accept her place within the pod.  The plot thickens, as the threesome continues to evade danger, and readers learn more about the complex pod history.  Sexy and sensual love scenes light up the pages, and I'm eagerly anticipating continued installments in this exciting new serial!

  3. I fell in love with kitty shifters as my first love (Nalini Singh and her Psy-Changeling series). I am interested to see another underwater shifter as she has featured some in her books recently.

  4. How do I find the do get the second book of Claimed by the Alpha Dolphins? I have tried Amazon and the they don't have it, neither does Barnes and Noble or Books-A-Million. I read the first book and really liked it and now I would like the read the second one if I have can find it. I tried Lyra Fawn's website but it doesn't seem to be working. Any idea on how I can get this book or even a sample of it? What store carries it?

    1. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to locate a copy of this book. I wasn't able to find anything online either, and when I tried to email Lyra directly the message was returned as having been sent to an email address that no longer exists. :(
