Their Dragon Rider #3
Court of Lust
What happens when multiple sexy men all want me for themselves? I get them to learn to share…
I can’t believe how much has happened since I joined the dragon riders’ academy. My small-town life as a healer is gone, and I’m living in a world of dragons and royalty.
Except, these royals all want the same thing. Me. And I’m not about to choose just one of them, when I’m being pulled to all of them.
Unfortunately, these stubborn boys have never learned to share, but they’re about to. We can’t spend our time fighting amongst ourselves when we have our enemies, the Hollowborn, to deal with. If we can’t agree on a way to handle the Hollowborn, we may just find ourselves in another war.
A war that will lead to death and destruction all across our kingdom.
Our people are counting on us, and we must all stand together, or we’ll fall together instead.
COURT OF LUST is a reverse harem bully romantasy. It is high heat, with a confident, sarcastic heroine and jealous and possessive alpha men.

While reading this one, I actually thought there would be a fourth book in the series. The biggest plot points were getting resolved, but there were still some plot points on the side I would have loved to see addressed. And even though the main points of the story evolve to an ending, I was still left a bit disappointed. This final book was simply too rushed to enjoy it as much as I did the start of this series. I really believe a fourth book might have helped to flesh some things out, give the enemies-to-lovers vibe the time it deserves and create a solid ending that doesn’t come as a shock.
That being said, I definitely liked the first two books in the series. The dynamic between Harper and her dragon was amazing, and I often loved the words he spoke in Harper’s mind. I also still love Harper as a person; she’s a fighter with a heart of gold and a true queen. I just think she deserved more groveling from her men, and they deserved the same from their father. But even though this final book didn’t live up to my expectations, I still enjoyed the series as a whole, and I’m looking forward to see what’s next by this author.

I loved this one so much. I love the dragons and it was amazing to read this one. I need more but the ending was amazing.

January 18, 2026A Court of Lust closes the series in a way that finally brings Harper’s journey into focus.
After everything she’s been pushed through in the first two books, this installment gives her space to understand who she is, what she wants, and what her place in the courts actually means.
The story doesn’t rush her or gloss over the mess she’s survived — instead, it threads her choices together so you can see the shape of her arc clearly for the first time.
The relationships also settle into something more. The MMCs stop orbiting around the plot and start anchoring to Harper in ways that make sense for where the story has been heading.
I felt the worldbuilding expands just enough to support the final reveals without overwhelming the character work. Everything clicks into place as the series wraps, giving the ending a sense of direction rather than just escalation.
As a whole, I loved the series and book three gives us the moment the series finally knows what it wants to say about Harper: not just who she loves, but who she becomes.
Tropes
• Fated mates
• Why‑choose / RH
• Court intrigue
• Hidden power awakening

Triggers
• VIolence and injury
• Non‑consensual power dynamics
• Emotional manipulation

I love how it all ended. Although the battle almost stopped my heart. There is plenty of spicy scenes in this reverse harem series. Great amount of action that had me on the edge of the seat not knowing how it would all end.
Good character grow and maturity where the boys finally become men.

✨ A Bittersweet Farewell ✨
Court of Lust is the conclusion we’ve all been waiting for, and for the majority of this book, I absolutely loved it. Saying goodbye to Harper and her men was never going to be easy… but I’ll be honest the ending left me with mixed emotions.
Let me start with what this book does right, because there’s a lot.
I adore Harper. She remains a strong, compelling FMC who has grown immensely throughout the series. And then there’s Sevrin, the Hollowborn king introduced in the previous book. Normally with RH, I try not to pick favorites because I always end up loving everyone but Sevrin was just different. He isn’t the savage monster everyone expects. Instead, he’s gentle, protective, and genuinely wants to love and care for Harper. I couldn’t help but fall for him.
With King Sevrin now fully woven into the story, the princes finally start acting like grown men and openly showing their feelings (about time). Their reactions weren’t surprising, but they were incredibly entertaining especially Lucien, who continues to steal every scene he’s in.
Then come the drinking games… and wow. The extent of the king’s abuse is exposed, and I genuinely had to pause and take a breath. That moment was heartbreaking and heavy, adding a raw emotional layer that truly stuck with me.
That said, this is one of those stories where everything feels too perfect for a while and I knew something bad was coming. And it did.
While the story does wrap up and everything turns out okay in the end, the ending itself felt rushed. I wanted more more room to breathe, more emotional payoff, and more growth, especially from the three princes. After such a strong journey and such a solid series, the conclusion just didn’t linger long enough.
And maybe that’s why I’m a little sad.
This series is now complete, and I’ll truly miss Harper, her men, and Ebron our sarcastic, scene stealing male dragon who never failed to make me laugh.
Despite my feelings about the ending, this was still a strong conclusion to a series I’ve loved. If you’ve been following Harper’s story, Court of Lust is absolutely worth the read just be prepared for a goodbye that feels a little too quick.

This final book put an unexpected finality to the series. I adored how the book went. Ebron and Harper have such a solid relationship, really charting new territory for the princes and showing them how things don’t have to stay the way they have always known. We get to see it alter their interactions with their own dragons later in the book, and prove that Harper and Ebron don’t have to be the odd ones with their interactions. It’s reinforced even more later on with Rosanthra as well. I loved seeing the princes start to view their dragons as more than just tools, along with the peek we get of Nythera and Alarics tentative opening up towards each other.
I felt divided about the relationship between Harper and the Princes. I loved her relationship with Sevrin from the gate. I even would have loved more interactions with Sevrins family. However, after the way the Princes treated her, and the things they did to her, I felt she let them off a bit too easy. They totally would have deserved needing to work a bit harder to earn her affections. Im also I bit disappointed the princes didn’t get to stand up to their father(or Harper, in their defense) and tell him off for his treatment of the 3 of them as well as their mothers. It left the ending feeling a little open. Like the adventure was Still happening, and we get some closure, but had a ways to go before it was over. I almost hope the Author will think about adding another book in the future.
Also, the kings advisor deserved worse than he got. He should consider himself lucky.
All in all, I adored this book, and the series. I definitely crave more, and think there’s enough to make it so, but I’m also not upset with it being the ending. Highly recommend.

Finally! This is what I've been waiting for. I didn't realize just how emotionally stunted the princes were. Don't get me wrong, I knew they had problems, but I didn’t realize the extent of it. After learning more about what their childhood was like, I have to give them credit for not being complete disasters. I was angry on their behalf. They've started getting their act together. Things are improving between all of them. That might have something to do with King Sevrin. That man is a smokeshow. The level of charm, charisma, and caring he has for Harper is unreal. Sevrin definitely had me swooning and is my favorite amongst the guys.
Going into this, I was positive that this wasn't the final book. Boy, was I wrong. Lacey stuffed a lot into this one. I loved getting to know King Sevrin. Hearing things from his perspective and learning about the past certainly put a spin on things. The Halloborn people are introduced fully. I enjoyed seeing the world from another culture's perspective. It was interesting seeing them as a people and where they called home. From there, things moved kind of fast. There was some progress, but I didn't think the story was wrapping up until the craziest plot twist. Wowza!
Court of Lust wrapped up Harper's story perfectly. I loved the ending. I would say this is by far my favorite book in the series, and what a good series it was. I'm glad I took a chance on Lacey's take on bully romance.

Court of Lust is the kind of book that makes you forget you have responsibilities. One chapter turns into ten, and suddenly you’re wide awake, emotionally invested, and absolutely feral for what happens next.
This story burns slow and hot at the same time — rich fantasy stakes layered with desire, loyalty, and power plays that actually matter. Harper doesn’t stumble into strength; she claims it, and watching her step into her own is deeply satisfying. She’s sharp, resilient, and unapologetic in a world that keeps trying to box her in. I loved that she never has to shrink to be loved — she’s wanted because of her fire.
The men? Dangerous, devoted, frustrating, protective, and completely undone by her. Each one brings a different tension to the table, and none of them feel interchangeable. The chemistry isn’t rushed or hollow — it simmers, collides, and explodes in ways that feel earned. This book understands that desire hits harder when emotions are on the line, and it delivers.
Beyond the romance, the world itself feels alive — courts full of secrets, dragons with presence and weight, and choices that carry real consequences. The balance between plot and passion is handled beautifully, never letting one overpower the other.
Finishing this book was bittersweet. Lacey has a beautiful way of ensuring you crave every page that when it finally ends you want more. This was the closure to this series but I can't wait to read whats next.
Review of advance copy received from Author
“I feel,” he struggles for the word, “broken.” I smile. “We all feel a little broken. And we are all a little broken. But broken things can be fixed, and can be even more beautiful once their pieces are put back together.” “You make it sound easy.” “It might not be easy, but I’m here with you. Your brothers are here with you. Even Sevrin will be here with you, to help navigate a life with people who want to be close to you.” He makes a little sound of disbelief. I touch his face. “Gareth, we can have a new life, but we have to be open to new things. You have to be willing to open up to all of us. If you do, I think we can create a really amazing family.”
Once again we find ourselves back with Harper and her princes for the final book in this series but now we throw in King Severin the hollowborne leader who is certainly not what you expect he's the sweet kind guy who wants to love and take care of Harper not the savage that everyone thinks.
What you then get is a book that makes you say aww as Harper finds herself learning more about the guys and why they are the way they are a marriage and a peace treaty and a mission to make sure there is more male dragons.
I honestly loved this whole series and I'm kinda said that it's now completed and over I will miss Harper her guys and ebron our male dragon who constantly made me laugh.

series was sort of great
Overall, good story! Great world building, beloved FMC, dragons! But, a main plot point was MMC bullying gone wrong (oh no we now like this girl! Classic). There was talk* of groveling but then there was exactly zero groveling. And actually the FMC felt bad for them and then worked harder? It’s dual POV so we get a tortured “their parent failed to teach them emotional maturity” and you kinda agree and go “ahh okay! We’ll agree to FMC reaching out first, they were neglected as kids!”. And as you wait for them to give luke warm remorse, effort, or apology (which doesn’t come?), the very next chapter (even in book 3!) was an MMC going “I STILL think we’ll win and force the FMC away from her beloved dragon so I can have him!” And you are left confused? Girl is trying to make it work with hot garbage still, in book 3!? And then they profess love with no behavior change on page, just “these guys are hot and can’t express feelings!” (Felt strange). Felt like this girl fell in love with 3 card board cut outs after they stopped beating her up. It wasn’t that satisfying on that front. Also final conflict lacked depth (no dual POV of said MMCs lured away? Missed opportunity). Still would recommend but don’t expect the 4.7 star rating in the relationship building, that’s for sure.

Review of advance copy
This is the conclusion we have all been waiting for and it was exactly how I hoped it would be. :) We left off with the agreement the King of the Dravari sent Harper with to the Hollowborn King for peace. Harper was to wed not only the 3 Dravari princes but the Hollowborn King as well. I absolutely love Sevrin! He had so much depth and showed the 3 princes what life could have been like if they had a caring family like Sevrin did. There was A LOT of growth for the 3 and I would have loved to have seen a bit more groveling after everything those three put Harper through. We get our battle but it's not Sevrin against the 3 princes or even the Dravari against the Hollowborn. And you totally saw it coming! Sevrin holds up his end of the peace agreement and tells the Dravari how to help make male hatchlings and I loved the image LCA gave you at the end of them playing with all the other dragons. Remember when Ebron told Harper his harem wasn't complete with just the 3 princes' dragons? EEK!! You are so going to love the last member and her rider. :) That's all I'll say. The HEA is absolutely perfect! You will love this book.

I enjoyed the final book in this trilogy!
I love that Lacey picks up right where the last book left off, there's no guessing on missed plot. There was a lot of steam in Book 3 between Harper and her horde. In the last book, Harper had gone to the Hallowborn to broker a peace deal and offer herself as a bride; but the book ended with him telling her he may just capture her and use her as a bargaining chip instead. As his people chant to end her, he realizes she's the way to peace. And lets just say, there is a bit of a surprising twist and this king of the Hallowborn is THE BEST in this whole book. Gareth, Lucien, and Alaric, when they finally see they've got to get their acts together and put the work in. I thought there could have just been a bit more character arc here for the three guys, because lets be honest, they were still pretty clueless about treating a lady, but for some reason Harper still cares. it's a good thing they have a good role model now! And of course, we still have to find out who is plotting behind the scenes because you know ther is going to be an epic battle somewhere in this book!

"The Instant I touched you, the instant I saw you, I knew you were mine."
The last book in the series and I am so sad to say goodbye to Ebron! This book was such a ride! I quickly took a liking to Sevrin, the swoony Hollowborn King. When he started to call Harper "My Heart", my heart just about melted. His personal relationhsip with Harper was easy right from the beginning, it was from the outside forces that the problems arose.
The Princes, while I'm not sure they exactly redeemed themselves, it became more clear why they acted the way they did. Growing up without love, they didn't really know how to navigate a romantic or loving relationship. The jealousy they showed when Harper returned with Sevrin was actually very satisfying though.... And I did get a giggle out of all the mens reaction to Alaric's big reveal (you'll see what I mean) during a particular scene.
I did think the ending was a bit abrupt. We suddenly went from a tense scene to one year later for the final chapter. The author did manage to clear up most of the key points of the aftermath in that chapter though so I'm not going to complain too much! A great ending to a great series!

This was a very fulfilling and satisfactory end to Harper's story.
We jump right back into the story where book 2 left us hanging, Hollowborn chanting to end her.
But King Severin is definitely not who you would expect. He is so much more and I loved how that put the Dravari princes under pressure!
Great character development, lots of action and affection.
I loved how the guys ended up bonding and oh! Rosanthra - I would have LOVED to get a deeper look into the female dragon's personalities, cause I absolutely love Ebron and feel Rosanthra would have brought a softer side to the fierce beasts.
This book is a tiny bit longer than usual for LCA, but it's still an easy and quick read.
My only complaint *wink* is, that the books wasn't longer! The MMC's relationships with their dragons could have brought a lot more to the story. At least I think so. But, it would, of course, have slowed the pace down a bit.
Definitely recommended for lovers of dragons (duh LOL), RH fantasy romance and strong FMCs.

I could read LCA write about dragons 24/7. I don’t think there’s been a book that she’s put out that I haven’t absolutely adored, but there is something that hits differently about her dragon books… I immediately ran to go read this when it hit my inbox, that last cliffy killed me in the best way. I could absolutely not get enough of this world and all of the main characters. Normally with an RH I don’t like to choose a favorite … But for some reason Sevrin just hits different. This last book made my heart happy after all of the trials and tribulations that Harper and her guys had to go through… It was so nice to see the boys be goofy with each other by the end. I could read about these five for a couple more books happily. So now I’m just patiently but not patiently waiting for the next series for LCA to put out… When’s it coming? What’s it gonna be about? Can I have it now? Please and thank you.
Review of advance copy received from Author
I have to start this by saying that for the majority of this book, I absolutely loved it, I adore Harper, and I love Sevrin (the Hollowborn that was brought in last book), but I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending. Yes, it tied the story up, but it felt very rushed and like there wasn't really enough given to the ending. It makes me sad cause like I said, I loved the rest of the story, and I adored the books before this.
The bratish guys finally grew up and started to show their feelings, and it was about time. I guess having Sevrin there, a King of his own people, but who was still kind to Harpe,r showed them how to act, considering their father didn't do a very good job.
Everything turns out fine in the end of the story, but I just wish there had been more for the ending, maybe even a little more growth from the three princes, but as a series it was great and I enjoyed it overall.

Ok, first I have to say I absolutely LOVE Sevrin. He is beyond amazing and has strong women in his life. He treats Harper the way she should be treated. This book ends up where the last one ended. I can't lie I could have used another book or 2 in this story. Every book I was sucked into from beginning to the end and this one was no different. I love Ebron and his relationship with Harper too. Sevrin has dreamed of the dragons and being near them. When Sevrin and Harper return the princes are definitely not happy, but I can say the redeemed themselves and we learned more about their pasts which broke my heart. The king who I was so on edge with didn't do anything crazy like I was waiting for, but I can say by the end of this book I disliked him greatly and would have been ok if Ebron took care of him. So much going on and i wasn't ready for it to be over, but it was perfect! Absolutely loved this series!!!

Sevrin is an incredible character, surrounded by strong women who shape and support him, and the way he treats Harper is exactly what she deserves. Their relationship is one of the highlights of the story, and I also loved the bond between Harper and Ebron—it added even more depth and heart.
This book picks up right where the previous one left off and delivers a powerful, emotional continuation. The world-building expands in meaningful ways, and learning more about the characters’ pasts was both compelling and heartbreaking. There’s a lot happening throughout the story, and it never felt dull for a moment.
While the conclusion was satisfying, I honestly could have read another book or two in this world—I wasn’t ready for it to end. By the final page, my feelings toward certain characters had shifted dramatically, and not all of them in a good way. Overall, this was an engaging, emotional read that completely held my attention from start to finish.

A fantastic conclusion to a fantastic series!!!
We left off with the agreement the King of the Dravari sent Harper with to the Hollowborn King for peace. Harper was not only to wed the three Dravari princes but also the Hollowborn King, as well.
I’m completely in love Sevrin! His character had so much depth. He was able to show the three princes what life could have been like if they had a caring family like he did. Luckily, he’s there to show them how to love Harper the way she deserves to be love and have a happy life together.
Fast forward in the book to the battle. Initially we thought it was going to be Sevrin against the three princes, but nope, we get the battle we eventually KNEW we would get. Read it and see… Sevrin holds up his end of the peace agreement and tells the Dravari how to help make male hatchlings. The ending was chefs kiss. I’m sad to see it conclude, but am glad I got to enjoy the ride!
Sevrin is definitely my favorite. Just saying.

This wasn’t the last book in this series I expected, it was better.
Pretty much nothing happened that I thought would and I loved it more because of this.
Husband of the year award goes to Sevrin, gods that man, so hot, so respectful, so soft for Harper but strong to everyone else. The reaction of the Princes was admittedly no surprise, but it was funny, especially Lucien. But then the drinking games exposed the level of abusiveness by the king and I just had to take a breath. It was heartbreaking.
It was also one of those stories where everything had been going too well and I knew something bad was going to happen. It did.
I do love this author, her female characters are are strong while still being feminine and her characters as a whole fly off the page, with great action and a good pinch of spice.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️

I loved the concept of this series so much, and I will always enjoy what LCA writes, but I felt this final installation was rushed. I could have had one more book if it meant we got to see more growth from our princes-instead of "oh we all shared in the sack after getting drunk, so all is better now", the reasoning of the kings decision, a clearing of the air between the princes and their father ('cause he doesn't deserve forgiveness, but they need closure), more about our golden retriever Hollowborn king and his people, and the betrayal we ALL saw coming lasting more than a chapter.
That said, I still enjoyed it. It was a perfect, quick (230 pg) read for the beginning of the new year. The🔥🔥 picked up, and it was fast paced throughout. I also felt the final chapter was a fitting ending for all involved.

🐉 DRAGONS, action + love...what's not to like 😉?
I absolutely LOVED what seems to be the last in this series! Harper and her men are in for one doozy of a ride in this final installment. Get ready for all kinds of excitement! Sacrifice is the name of the game. There is also a ton of growth on the part of the three princes. Adventure, action, surprises, and of course heat grace these pages. The world building is absolutely phenomenal in this one!!! We get to see more places and it's soooooo detailed, layered, colorful and rich that the reader feels like they're there. These characters have come leaps and bounds from where we first met them 😉. Now working as one unit, it was fun to see them cross each hurdle placed in front of them. I hate to say goodbye to this world, Harper and her loves. Here's hoping we see them again in the future.

Heartbroken to end another amazing trilogy from LCA. I cant help but fan girl everything she puts out and she cant half write a good mfc rh especially when it involves dragons. Whats not to love?!
Harper finally brings her harem together as they unite and continue to face battles - it looks pretty bleak at one point but theres nothing such a badass mfc cant do and overcome.
Sevrin has to be no1 mmc in this book. Hes such a delicous treat and extra points for masked lovers.
We visit more of the magical world and its so beautifully put together.
Relationships and characters developing its on point and seeing the princely brothers bond and unite is so endearing and their boyish charm comes out a plenty.
Cant recommend the series and this book enough.
If youve never read an LCA then why not?! Get to it!

I have really enjoyed this series, every time a book was released I was hooked & didn’t stop till I finished. In a way I’m gutted it’s finished. I now understand why I wasn’t able to pick a favourite out of Harpers guys as I was still to meet Severn, king of the Hallowborn.
This one picks up from where the last book left off, Harper meeting the Hallowborn King with an offer of marriage as part of the peace treaty. The Dravari princes Lucien, Alaric & Gareth finally grow up in this story & admit how they feel for Harper. They go off on an adventure together & discover why the dragons are not birthing male dragons. Whilst on this adventure they finally work out their differences & come together as one family unit.
I did feel it felt rushed at the end but then it could be cause I just enjoyed being in this world. Good ending

Why choose/ fated mates/ marriage of convenience/ MFMM/ MMFMM/ found family/ forced proximity/ HEA
Trigger warning: death of a loved one/ violence/ assault/ attempted murder/ treason/ betrayal
I expected more from this author. Three of the four MMCs were insufferable for 80% of this story. It felt like they only really started to care about the FMC when another man showed up. Sevrin was the antithesis to the pathetic prince MMCs and I honestly would have been fine with him being the only MMC.
The story was rushed in this last book. Some plot points felt unresolved and the epilogue at the end barely glossed over what had happened after the climax.
This book had a good premise but unfortunately that alone couldn’t save this series. I kept reading in the hopes that the MCs would get better but I was disappointed.

With a pinch of salt, I decided on a 3.5 stars for this one. Harper's story progresses fast through mariage, peace treaty, and diving head first into danger, while trying to keep an open mind and help dragons and people alike. While the story develops fast and keeps a lot of suspense, I think it was a bit rushed and over way faster than needed. The change in the behavior of the 3 princes is not believable and very abrupt, considering how they behaved in the first two books. It's as if they are different characters now. Also the ending was too rushed. Loose ends not really tied, after a big battle boom fast forward 1 year. I would have preferred more story and character developments in these areas. Other than that, I am glad how the story ended, happy for the dragons and the characters, and for the otherwise quite nice reading experience.

We have reached the third book in the series and goodness what a story it is. Harper is meeting the Hollowborn as per the request at the end of book two. Things quickly come together in this one. I absolutely love Harper and strong and kind she is. We have seen her strength in the previous two books and this one is no different. The three princes are clueless at times but are learning growth as the series develops. We see in this one how they are starting to clue themselves in what really matters. The story is packed with drama and, suspense, and has action throughout it. It extremely well written and developed. It pulled me in right from the beginning and didn’t let go. I loved how the book ends as it kept me glued to it the entire time. This is absolutely a must read!

This book just felt like the author was bored with the story and wanted to finish it ASAP.
The plot was rushed, so badly that after the big final fight where we left on a somewhat cliffhanger, we get a 1 year time jump with no more tying off of loose ends, just a quick HEA scene and that’s it’s.
Not to mention that all the slow burn angst from the first two books was completely ignored. Instead it’s like Harper forgot that these princes were cruel to her, slept with all her men before 30% in the book and moved straight to love and harmony all around.
It was lazy writing at best. I feel cheated. The resolution to the war and the dragon problems were both quickly shoved into a few paragraphs and that was it, HEA for everyone.
What a waste of time.

We are back with Harper and her princes for the final time and what a journey we have all been on with them! Not only has the intensity been building as we know the final battle is on the horizon, but the emotional and romantic growth between them is also coming to a head. It is obvious each prince cares for Harper deeply, but a challenge for them has been to share, which added extra tension for Harper. But they were all really forced to get their act together if they were going to survive and save everyone in the process. I have been addicted to this series from the beginning, and while it is certainly bittersweet to say goodbye, I loved Harper, her dragon and her men's story! What a wild ride!

I really enjoyed this series. Court of Lust is a fast, fun reverse harem romantasy set in a world of dragons, royalty, and danger. The heroine starts out as a small-town healer and is thrown into the chaos of a dragon riders’ academy, where multiple powerful, stubborn men all want her—and she refuses to choose just one.
The story has a confident, sarcastic main character, plenty of tension, and jealous, possessive alpha men who are forced to learn how to share. The plot keeps moving with external threats and high stakes, balanced well with romance and heat.
It was quick and easy to read, with the right mix of action, spice, and drama. I’m fully in my dragon era, and this series was exactly what I was in the mood for I finished it in no time and had a great time reading it.
