Théoden: Far be it from me to refuse an invitation from the Celestial Dragon King, Evander. Besides, what's the point of living forever if you can't have fun? A little distraction would serve me well. I still had so much to do this night. Children to Sire, a rebel hybrid to hunt down and a test to conduct with Noel that would surely elevate his status in my eyes. That is, if he passed. Apart from that, there was this matter of hunting Dante. Sure, I enlisted the assistance of wolf Alpha, Deacon, but I didn't want to leave the hunt of Dante solely up to him and his pack, especially with the price being so high. I do know one thing, Dante better be worth it.

Noel: My training with Marco is advancing and the more I learn about what I am, the more I discover who I am. Maybe Théoden had a point when he told me that being a vampire is what I wanted. I don't know. I do know that I find myself enjoying the powers and strength I possess. He really is making me into the vampire he wants me to be. I realize that even more now as I try to figure out who I should sire and why. This person will be my child, an extension of me. How do I want to be represented?

Warning: This serial contains strong adult content not meant for sensitive eyes. The novelettes in this serial will be filled with dark, twisted, raunchy and steamy scenes between powerful, sexy men that will either offend you or get ya revved up. This series will not be pulling any punches, and it won’t apologize for hurting your feelings, either. You’ll find no fluff and ruffles here. The vampires are not misunderstood, hopeless romantics looking for love. The werewolves are not cute and cuddly and the dragons aren’t the ones from your childhood. This is NOT a romance. There are approximately 33700 words in this novelette.

Good lord, this chapter was hot.....

This series gets better and better. I'm amazed about the author's ability to keep me "interested" in reading all of these sex scenes.
You would think by the amount of sex scenes, you would get bored in time?? I mean, these vampires feed of blood but of sex ALL THE TIME!!!
But I beg to differ!! Everytime I think I've seen it all, I'm proven wrong.... This series is like crack.

My favorite scene was Noel's embracing Romeo! I love the connection these two already have. I'm sure some pretty hot times will await for us.

Romeo was mine, my child. My blood birth him into his vampire life. For a split second, I thought about holding back.
I didn’t ask Romeo if he wanted me to fuck him, but then I remembered what Théoden said to me.
I was not his friend. I was his Sire, and he was to serve me.

Just as tasty on the reread...plus a glimpse of Elijah...I'm swooning already over this stubborn beauty. 

***

Oh my...so yeah...this one tops them all so far.  Whether it be the embracing, the emotional connection found between many characters, or just that we are getting to know these characters on a different level but...





Add to that that Noel is completely embracing this new life and is becoming more and more respected by his brothers and his Sire. Phew.

This series is just mind bogglingly addictive. So hot, so raunchy and raw. I have said it before, but oh how I love Theodon. This is not romance, its man on man raw taboo adventure. So much fun.

A review by The Blogger Girls.

If you are looking for an edgy paranormal that delivers every time, this is the one for you, but be sure to start at the beginning, as there is a lot of groundwork and build up getting to this point.

In this segment, Théoden is spending some time with the sexy dragon King. Gotta love the lustful dragons, especially when they bring Théoden to his knees, so to speak. It’s fun watching him take on a role different from that which he takes with his vampires.

Meanwhile, the search for Dante continues, as does the search for the new chosen siblings. Marco still puts Noel in his place every now and then, but it is happening less and less. I’m still not a fan of his, but he holds an important position as Théoden’s second, so I don’t think he’ll be going anywhere any time soon.

There is more of what everyone loved about the previous books, especially lots of hot raunchy sex, but the story is also progressing. New vamps are being sired, per the decree of King Ari, and the time is drawing near for those chosen by Théoden to leave with Ari for his conquest of the new city.

As each story ends, I look forward to the events to come in the following books. This one was no different. While much has happened, and everyone (especially Noel) has come a long way, it feels as though there is still much more to tell. I think Noel is in for a bumpy ride in the near future as Théoden’s promises to others of Noel’s company are called upon. I am, once again, already excited for the next one.

Noel is really embracing his new "life" in the House of Theoden. Now that Theoden is Prince of the City, Noel is a General in Theoden's army. They're still hunting Dante, the half human half werewolf. Noel has finally embraced a human from the Ludus, the part of the prison where the humans are trained to fight like gladiators. There's tons of dark gritty steamy sex in this novella and it doesn't dissapoint. This book is hot enough to melt your popcicle. I am absolutely hooked on this series and can't wait for the next in the story. Independent reviewer for PR&ATR

Ok bare with me. I really struggled with the first season. Like I actually stopped reading 3 times. I love dark erotica, smut, D/S. I was recommended this series. Begged to give it another go. I really struggled to get past the rape and Degradation. It's not a romance. Think Vampire, Dragon, werewolf post apocalypse meets hard core porn. No boundaries, no consent. Season 1 was hard for me. Horrible.

I enjoyed this season so much more as there was consent! I guess that's the difference, you can explain alot away but if it's fantasy n reality. It can really change the yuck feeling. Having a scene of torture or flashback is sometimes confronting, but it adds to story. Definitely not the core erotica note of book. Or an entire book made up of back to back of non-consensual encounters it was just off putting.

So yeah, it made me sick. This season was completely the opposite, once they embraced the nature and consent was there. Boom. 1 star to 4.5 star.

So you have to go in knowing not a romance! Once your mind set changes and you approach it from a different angle it's actually great..

It's a very creative read, just as author says, there definitely isn't another book like it!

Another great add to the series. First off let's get this out of the way; Theoden and King Evander are too hot to not re-read when it's over. So much is going on with this one we have children being made, dragons being too sexy for words and we get to meet Alpha Deacon who is mysterious and definitely hiding something. New characters being added like Ryan and Romeo I hope to see more of. Noel takes a huge step towards perfection in Theodens eyes with a few great plot twist, plus Marco gets surprises that I've wanted to see for awhile. More and more of this crazy series and it only gets better, can't wait for the next.

Awesome and impossible to put down

Under the kings decree, all vampires must choose two children to sire within two weeks. Nothing like rushing such an important decision. Noel gets to embrace his first child while still learning his place as a vampire.

First off I’m glad I don’t have to choose favorites... Nicholas you Sir need a spanking for leaving me hanging like you did. For shame...

I've always had a thing for dragons and Evander... Well oh my... Still Theoden is all that, hey he’s a Vampire Prince that commands a certain amount of presence. His scenes with the dragon was hella hot, The bet was intriguing to say the least. (grins)
As Theoden takes some down time all along cementing alliances. He has already set in motion what he needs done.
The Generals (his boys) are either out finding a child for themselves. Speaking of Bruce’s boy... Not sure I like him..yeah yeah I know but you know what they say about too much of a good thing. (smirks) I do like Marco’s boy Marcus... (eyes the writer at the close names)
Marco’s I’ve come to the conclusion is just evil... And relishes in his evilness. But I’d have to say he’d be the best at training the new brothers.. If you want it done right, get the right person for the job. You’d think Noel would get that by now.. Marco’s was ruthless in his scene with the dragon. I’d love to be up close and personal on that one
Marco’s had the task of taking Noel with him, to find the hybrid their father wants...with a new alliance with the wolves.. A deal has been struck... Money, boy toys. A virgin and a son to use for a few hours.
There seems to always be a lesson for Noel to learn, Marco’s is always more than willing to teach him. Noel is warned about his procrastination in choosing a human to sire.
I loved the story and the scenes.. Dark quick hard dirty smut.. At its finest. This isn’t a stand alone, you need to start from season one.. But oh it will be more than worth your time. If you dont squirm a little, then you prolly shouldn’t be reading it.. (winks) consider it recommended. Thank you Mr Bella..

Dragon Kings and Werewolves, oh my! This series just gets better and better! When you picture vampires, never would I have thought of these incredible warriors. Ruthless to the core, they plot and plan with the best. This book takes the sexy, rough, gritty kink to a whole new level when Theoden spends the night with the Celestial Dragon King Evander. In this series, being a part of the dragon world makes the House of Theoden the top of the sexual pleasure world in New Haven. Mix that with Prince Theoden's vampire nature? Oh, the lesser dragons are in for some raunchy fun. But, Theoden has an ego and he may have bit off more that he can chew when he makes a bet with the Dragon King. The price to be paid by Noel, of course.
The hunt is on for Dante, the half werewolf human. And Deacon is a match for Marco and Noel. For the first time, Marco might not be the one holding all the cards. Even so, an alliance between the vampires and the werewolves could prove to be the smartest thing to happen for Theoden. Noel might not agree, but he has no say. His unique status amongst the House makes him a bargaining chip Theoden is using to its fullest!
The Dragon King's alliance will also help the House and Theoden's children a lot. They gain strength from dragon seed, and being the most powerful vampires is a plus in their jobs. The brothers are also under the gun to sire children for the vampire King, and Noel is under the most pressure, but will his choice pass Marco's standards? Being a new vampire himself, how will he control another vampire when he has no idea how to do so? And if his life isn't hard enough, Theoden has a test for Noel. Can he pass or is he destined to fail and be punished? There is so much happening in New Haven, you will have to catch your breath after you finish the book. It is never a dull moment in the vampire world!

“I could read his mind and he was loving this kinky side of me…He thought I was way better than Marco. That made me smile.”


Even after the fun with Evander, Theoden still has a very busy night ahead of him.

While Noel and Marco are hunting for Dante and his people in dangerous werewolf territory, Marco helps Noel hone his hypnosis abilities. Marco also lays out the rules that they’ll need to enforce as Theoden’s Generals.

Noel is quite the bargaining chip. While Deacon is eager for Noel, Noel is not impressed.

Payback’s a bitch. Marco has the two humans who taunted and messed with Noel (while he was imprisoned, but before he was embraced) sent up to their penthouse for “a reward for a job well done.”

Unfortunately, Jonah has some page time. One good thing is that the brothers can’t stand him. Another? Neither can Theoden.

Ryan is such a dirty ho. He’s perfect for Bruce.

The plot and the world-building just keep getting stronger and stronger as this series progresses.

Noel has now learned not just how to hypnotize humans, but also how to read their minds. He’s a fast study. It’s great to see Theoden being proud of Noel. And Noel teaching Marcus and Romeo is actually cute.

It’s obvious that Romeo is going to be an interesting addition. Noel loves his icy blue eyes and curly, dark auburn hair. Noel may have a hard time with Romeo. He needs to remind himself that they’re not friends or bros. Regardless, Noel and Romeo are scorching hot together.

While Theoden is driving, he gets a surprising phone call from Deacon. Exciting ending—looking forward to the final episode of season two.


“Once I’m done training with Marco and get his seal of approval, I will be so powerful and feared. I found myself liking what my future held.”

I am hardly expecting any disappointing written by Nicholas Bella by now. And indeed he has the ability with his writing to make one shudder and shiver in excitement with every new book and installment! When you think there can't be that much new to come, especially with the sexy kinky parts and the "playtimes" (Dragons included!) but then this!
Hunted is the sexy next step to the season final for this second season. Noel has to sire his son, with still the problem how to pick and choose the one he wants. Still holding on to the little part of humanity still lingering inside of him, he sees the act of embracing as a task to fulfill by giving his new son the chance to choose he didn't had. But Noel has settled himself in the family now. It's awesome to see him grow up and teach his son out of his own experiences. I am curious to see more of the bond between Noel and his son, Romeo.
And to see Theoden steadying the bonds with his new allies, both Dragons and werewolves, and pulling the strings to get his hands on the hybrid Dante, is awesome, sexy as hell and breath taking. At the beginning of this whole glorious series I didn't thought or believed I would admire and love Theoden that much like I do now. But damn, Nicholas can turn a sonofabitch into a real bad ass you want to have for your own fun time.
Now I am more and more curious and excited what comes next with Theodens guys, the werwolves (Noels "date" with Deacon) and Dante. Please release us soon from the waiting!!

Magnificent job.

Again Nicholas Bella has done us proud. He has written an amazing, incredible and flirtatious book. One you can't put down.
Just some highlights of Hunted: Noel is working on his skills. He's getting better. Marco explained the rules they have to follow. Dante still being hunted. Noel has learned how to guard his thoughts so no one can read him anymore except for Theoden of course. Jonah finally got his wish and Theoden Embraced him. Noel found his human to sire. Just happens his human( Romeo) knows Dante the half breed.
Theoden is learning his Grandchildren have differences from their Fathers. Dragons blood in their veins is diluted, their not as powerful, the sun burns them and they don't need to feed the same way.
And what about Dante? He may have been caught but do we really know for sure? We'll find out in Evolution: House of Theoden Season Finale.
This book is a must read. Again Nicholas has given us suspense, originality and his imagination which just keeps getting better with each book. As usual Nicholas drags you in and holds on to you. He leaves you wanting for more and he always delivers.
Magnificent job Nicholas.

I will start by saying that this book is longer than any single episode in the entire series by at least double. And like the other episodes, this one doesn't disappoint. The banter between the characters, especially the grandchildren with their fathers, is definitely going to make the reader giggle a few times.

There's less discipline in this episode as Noel has almost completely gotten control of his mouth and thoughts. There's still tons of sex that works beautifully into the storyline; especially where Evander's dragons are concerned. The hunt for Dante reaches its climax as Theoden's children race against Deacon's pack to find the half-bred first.

I absolutely loved this episode. It was a far lighter reader than the others, even if it's double the length of the nine episodes.

I can't wait to read Evolution, the season two finale and desperately hope there's a season three.

I give this book 5 of 5 paws.

Well what can I say?! Nicholas Bella has done it again. For a story that's only ruffly 100 pages it packs a big punch. Theoden is now Prince of the city and as we saw in the last book, his Negotiations are going quiet well. Plans are falling into place. Noel is continuing to learn and grow.

The wolves are sexy as all get out but I do believe they are up to no good. Deacon is a little too accommodating and I bet Dante can feel the heat on the back of his neck. The ending is definitely a cliff hanger that leaves you asking: "When is the next one coming out?"

Oh and did I mention...the sex is, as always, smoking hot and top notch.

More dragons, more about the werewolves, more sex, more vampires. Yes-- all in one installment!

Noel is still struggling with parts of his humanity, although he has finally embraced a son, I'm not sure how this will bode for both of them.
Theoden enjoys some quality dragon time, as do most of his boys.

More teases and clues about Deacon & Dante! Can't wait for more!
"Do you think you can handle my appetite?" Yes!! this installment will satisfy, yet leave you begging for more!

I was given arcs of this series in exchange for a honest review.


COMMANDED was the first book of Nicholas' that I have read. I have read M/M before, but none as explicit and erotic as this series and I loved them.


I loved the characters and how the brothers interact with each other.


The story throughout the series is extremely good and kept me glued to the pages.


I will definitely be reading season 1 CHAINED IN DARKNESS and I can't wait for the next season.

Fun uncomfortable read

As always this was a gritty down and dirty read. The book features characters Noel Marco and Theoden as they build up the house of Theoden with new vampires. Not a plot of action but plenty of down and dirty sex.

Romeo

Noel is getting better with each story. Marco is growing on me. I do not really like Ryan, someone who constantly says daddy and a little too submissive for me. I really like Romeo and Noel, looking forwArd to more interactions with them. Prince Theo I love.
