ARC Review of Denying Ecstasy by Setta Jay

 

BLURB:

A headstrong sassy mortal, Rain is a Mageia living in Tetartos, the Realm of beasts and Immortals. Her nights have been restless, filled with sensual dreams of a big blonde Guardian whose glares indicate he wants nothing to do with her. She is determined to shake off the odd feelings until she finds out her dream lover is responsible for her rescue from a demented Demi-God. In doing so, his touch ignites something rare and coveted. Something that she’s never anticipated… Something he should have told her about. Rain is set on making him explain and then feel the full force of her ire.

After a devastating betrayal resulting in the loss of a close friend a century ago, Dorian refuses to trust or engage with Immortals other than his Guardian family. His years of brutal fighting in the underground Immortal rings are over. He patrols the Realms and slakes his lust with the humans on Earth. Existing, but not living as he used to. He knows the moment he scents Rain that he has found his mate and after touching her he plans to avoid her as long as he can... Until he learns she is in danger. Raging, his beast demands that he go to her, but taking her from their enemy has repercussions he fully plans to escape at all costs.

For Dorian, finding a way out of mating Rain means he could succumb to madness and harm those that mean so much to him… but giving in to his burning urge for her means losing control in a heated mating frenzy sure to ignite them both and link them forever.

MY REVIEW:

Denying Ecstasy is the next book in Setta Jay's A Guardian of the Realms Series and is about the sexy, dark Guardian, Dorian and his sassy mortal mageia, Rain. I have fallen for EVERY single book and novella of these Guardians of the Realms. I am always amazed at the depth, detail, sexiness, incredible sex scenes and the passion that sparks between the characters with each book and Denying Ecstasy was no different...well maybe in intensity. Dorian had some issues to work through and he ended up unintentionally hurting his mate, but when he finally got his shit straight, he took control and went after Rain and wouldn't let her go once he had her. 

Even after claiming her, he still held back a bit from her. That is until Rain told him how it was and then he started to rethink things. I can't tell you all how much I ADORED this book. This series has been an absolute favorite of mine since book 1 and I can't be more happier and glad that the wonderful Setta Jay asked me to review her books. I have found a MUST read with her Guardians of the Realms books and anticipate each new installment.

This story was intensely passionate with some of the HOTTEST sex I have ever read with some freaking AWESOME characters that will leave your mouth watering. The heroines are strong, independent, and know how to create havoc with their men. This is a dark, sexy story with a sexy writing style that will leave you NEEDING more! I LOVED IT to put it mildly. Setta Jay left us with a few cliffhangers from some of the characters but that is ok, because it just makes me crave the next book even more.

I give Denying Ecstasy a OUTSTANDING FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS! Its an amazing piece of work that I just don't want to stop talking about. This gorgeous thing, will be out the end of this month, on June 3oth! I HIGHLY recommend if you haven't read this series, you pick up the first two books, Ecstasy Unbound and Ecstasy Claimed along with the novella, Hidden Ecstasy and get started for a wild, sexy ride before Denying Ecstasy hits the electronic shelves everywhere!
