Drakoryan Brides #2
Fire Bride
Fire Bride is the second book in the Drakoryan Lords series, and continues the story first started in Sacrifice.
One woman. Four dominant dragon lords whose desire is only for her. An enemy that threatens all they hold dear.
Lyla is no ordinary wife. She is a Fire Bride — a mate to four Drakoryans with whom she shares a strong physical and mental bond. As she adjusts to management of House Fra’hir, she almost must meet the lusty demands of her insatiable mates.
But amid the adjustment to her new life, comes danger. Human villages under Drakoryan rule are being attacked. Rather than tell Lyla, her mates seek to protect her from the awful truth, despite having been given a prophecy about the leadership role she is destined to play.
But some secrets can’t be kept, and when the Drakoryan Council meets at Castle Fra’hir, Lyla learns the truth.
War is coming. After hundreds of years of sleep, the ShadowFell Dragons seeks revenge on the race of shifters who drove them far from the Drakoryan Empire. And this time, the huge night dragons have their sites set on a prize they must not be allowed to claim. They covet the Drakoryan’s humanity, and seek the deep magic that will allow them to become shifters as well.
Lyla isn’t about to stand aside, knowing those she left behind are in danger. But her mates are determined to protect her. Will their desire to keep her safe put their relationship in danger, even as they prepare to battle the approaching danger?

About the author
Ava Sinclair
167 books505 followersAva Sinclair is a best-selling Amazon romance author who caters to readers who appreciate a plot driven book where the steamy sex complements the story, rather than overshadowing it.
A hopeless bibliophile, Ava avidly reads across multiple genres, and this is reflected in her varied body of work that spans contemporary, medieval fantasy, western, historical, time travel and sci-fi. She especially enjoys world-building and crafting interesting and relatable characters.
Because her books feature graphic sex and elements of power exchange, she gently cautions her readers to take her work for what it is – delightful, sexy escapism.
Ava lives in southern Virginia in a farmhouse tucked away on a wooded hilltop. The first thing she did after moving in was to rip out the dining room and turn it into a library/office. This is where she spends most of her days, writing and being ignored by her cats. When she’s not working, she enjoys roaming the woods around her house, or seeking the advice of Lucius, her Eagle Owl.

Great ending?
This is a slow burn with a wonderful ending between the maiden and the dragons, but the story still goes on. War is coming between the two different dragon factions. The dragons need to learn in this book to not let their pride get in the way. Lyla just might make them all stronger in the end.
I enjoyed this book and the details the author put into it. I can't wait to see what is next.

Book 2, Drakoryan Brides series. Dragons, more dragons, conspiracy, danger, witches, prophecy, and magic! What's not to love?
We return to the Drakoryan Empire. Lyla, Drorgros, Tythos, Imryth, and Zelki's anger and cross purposes grow by the day. Secrets and misconceptions abound. No one's in the dark more than Lyla. She's the antithesis of the other Fire Brides. She's can't placidly accept "her place," flit around, dream of babies, or whisper endless gossip. She questions everything. Her mates are none too happy with her either. The compulsion to learn Drakoryan history, insatiable inquisitiveness about everything, cause constant conflict with each of her mates. Even Imryth, the scholar, doesn't understand her reluctance to just accept her role. And Lyla's far too observant. She's seen enough to know her mates are hiding things. But what? And why? When Lyla's had enough and demands answers, even she's not prepared for the answers. The ShadowFell are coming. They were defeated in the past. They've been dormant now for centuries. But they've awakened, changed...and NOT for the better. While Lyla's unaware of the entire truth, the prophecy says she has a role to play in all this. Only what is it? Her mates don't know. Not even Olin, oracle of House Fra'hir, has any idea. It's only the witches of the Wyrd who can shed any light, and even they have far too few answers. But the ShadowFell are coming. Just what will it take to stop them this time? Something, someone, will pay the price. But exactly who and what are in the line of fire? The villagers over whom the Drakoryans have reigned for centuries? Their mysterious, reclusive king? The witches of the Wyrd? The Drakoryans themselves? The Fire Brides? Or is it Lyla and her mates who are the ultimate targets? There are no answers. All anyone knows is that the entire Drakoryan Empire is at stake. Every person, regardless of station, is at risk. Lyla seems to be a central focus. What are the Drakoryans, especially Lyla and her mates, willing to sacrifice in the war to come? The answers will determine whether the Drakoryan Empire will cease to exist and if the evil of the ShawdowFell will rule the world forever!
Ava Sinclair has surpassed herself in the second book of this series. Lyla's still as feisty, obstinate, and uncooperative as ever. She won't be turned into a typical Fire Bride. She won't be forced to play out a role predetermined by her mates, even if her defiance angers her mates to the point of near destruction. Despite Olin's prophecy that Lyla be included in everything, her mates' decision to keep her in the dark has the potential to upend their lives. But the dragons don't know their mate or what she's capable of. Ava Sinclair has taken this conflict and created a story that goes so far beyond a simple erotic reverse harem story. It's filled with danger, suspense, and the need for every character, both major and minor, to rid themselves of centuries of prejudice, preconceptions, and tradition. A new path must be forged. The future of the entire Drakoryan Empire rests on the ability of all to adapt and change. Ms. Sinclair shows her remarkable talent by bringing minor characters into the forefront of the story. The witches of the Wyrd, Olin, the villagers, and the ShadowFell themselves, all have incredibly important roles in this book. They are the added dimension that makes this story so compelling. The relationships between the brothers, particularly as they relate to Lyla, are still complex. Their flaws are evident. But it's those flaws that complement each other and create chaos at the same time. It's apparent they need to work together. Lyla won't be left out. While these five are the heart and soul of this story, it wouldn't be as remarkable without the supporting characters. This book is enchanting! Congratulations, Ms. Sinclair! This book is quite simply outstanding on every level. It deserves nothing less than five stars!
A final note. Be an informed reader! This is an ADULT book. It contains explicit language and sexual scenes. If you don't enjoy this genre, this may not be the book for you. There are book synopses and reviews available on Goodreads and Amazon. Use these resources. DON'T LEAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WON'T ENJOY THE BOOK. It's not fair to the author. She works hard to provide a quality work product. If you know you'll object to a book's subject matter before you buy it, you're doing yourself and the author an extreme disservice.
Thanks for reading my review and happy reading!

I read the first book without realizing that it was a serial (I really dislike serials) but I like this author and continued with book two and was totally glad that I did - this book was way better than the first. Maybe it was because the characters spent less time having sex (don't get me wrong, it's still there but this section of the story is not focused on it). Maybe it was the detail the author put into developing the plot. Either way, this segment of the story was engrossing. The background story of the Drakoyans is given and the time spent trying to unravel the Shadowfell's new plan to destroy the Drkoryan kept me up late turning pages. I am truly glad that our four Fra'hir brothers are learning the price of not listening to the Wyrd. I can't wait to see where this story heads next with the Shadowfell, the Drakoryan views on women slowly altering, and Lyla's insatiable thirst for knowledge.
I received a copy from the author and gladly reviewed this book as I do enjoy a good fantasy story.

War is coming. The Shadowfell are waking up and now they are on a mission. This time, they have a plan and are executing it. Lyla is working on helping her mates. While her mates' train and "exercise" she is busy working to make their home nice for visiting Lords and their Fire Brides. Lyla is not content with what she is given to do. She wishes for more. She is doing her best to learn about the Drakoryan through books and observing what she can when she can. Danger is coming, but her men don't want her to know, fear and worry. But the clock is ticking on keeping things a secret from her. As Lyla works throughout the castle she finds herself not looking forward to what the other Fire Brides are. The other Fire Brides are content with their lot in life, being mates, taking care of house and home and raising babies. Lyla wants to be more and is determined to make herself plain this. Regardless of the position it will put her mates in when she decides to speak, question and rebuke them openly in front of others. The men know what they are doing is dangerous in keeping secrets from her about what is going on, but they believe that what they are doing is right. When the danger becomes all too real to ignore, and they bring home a maiden rescued the truth comes to light and more than a few tempers are going to flare. Whether they are prepared or in accord, the Shadowfell are coming.
Fire Bride: A Reverse Harem Dragon Fantasy is book two in the Drakoryan Brides series. I absolutely love that the author starts this book off with the back story of the Drakoryan. The story is truly engaging and keeps me page turning and wanting more. For me, it set the stage so well for how the race of dragon shifters came to be. I have to say that I like this book more than I liked the first book. We see that Lyla and her mates are still going through their adjustment period with each other. The men are preparing for war and trying to keep their preparations secret. But that is no easy task, especially when Lyla begins to feel that they are hiding something from her. I'm really glad that we get a lot of insight into this story. We learn, similar to old medieval times, boys are more favored than girls. It's a sad thing to learn this, but I'm glad that Lyla is outraged at this fact when she learns it.
Now, I'm all for her trying to figure things out, but I feel like there are a couple times she goes about it the wrong way. To manipulate one whom she knows wishes to please her...wrong. To essentially threaten to expose another, who is NOT her mate, to gain some information she seeks...wrong. She knows how to simply sit her mates down and demand they answer her questions and she simply could have done this. There are moments of where I wish that she would have used more decorum. She knows that her mates have been raised a certain way. Just like they can't expect her to suddenly adjust and change to her new environment, she should understand that they can't suddenly adjust and change to understanding she is not like the other dragons' mates.
For me, the second book is better than first one. It's more engaging and kept me interested in what was going on. The danger is becoming more real as the Shadowfell are acting differently than they have in the past. This truly sets the story up to become something truly dynamic. I just hope that Lyla and her four mates can all stop being hard-headed stubborn idiots and come together like they need to. The men were warned, and she is too, that either she will unite them or divide them. Intentionally or not. War is coming and the must stand together or all will be lost.
I am rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. The characters continue to improve, and the story continues to get better as well. I look forward to the next book in this series and seeing where things go with them all.

This second book starts off a while after Sacrifice as Lyla and her 4 Dragon mates get to know each other better day by day. Lyla is special, in that she has a thirst for knowlege that never ends. She spends her time taking care of the running of the household and all it's occupants but with her free time, if she isn't making passionate love with her mates, she is reading every book she can find about their history. Lyla reads about the beginning of the Dragons, how their start came when King Eknor is greedy with too much ambition and takes on the creatures of the Wyld. Eknor destroys everything he comes upon in the Wyld and is confronted finally when he and his sons find themselves desperate and begging for their lives. The Dragons are born and the complicated tale begins. Now, the ShadowFell
are waking up, and war is inevitable, the black Dragons want what the Drakoryans have, their humanity. Lyla is destined to play a critical role in the coming war with the ShadowFell and she spends all her spare time learning all she can about the history and coming events as foretold. This book is filled with adventure as the Dragons keep watch over the skies and
villages, secrets that are being kept from Lyla, new and interesting characters that are sure to have key roles in the upcoming battles and lots of loving between Lyla and her Dragon Mates.
I loved this book! It does have a happy for now ending, but we know that war is coming and they will all have a place in helping to fight it..
I can hardly wait to read the next book, War Bride, that will have the final battle and the matching
mates for the other Dragons that were still unmated.

Since the Shadowfell is now upon them, the House of Fra’hir are trying to get ready. But they keep Lyla in the dark about everything. Even the though prophecy states that they will need her. I know that the guys want to protect her but they are causing more harm. Thank goodness Lyla is not like the other Maidens. She plans to fight even if they don’t want her to. But two of the brothers are conflicted with not filling her in. Zelki and Imryth want Lyla aware while Drorgros and Tythos want to protect her and wait to let her know. I am glad of the strength that Lyla has in herself. She not only doesn’t not want to be just a vessel to breed but also is angered by the way they treat the young females.
And WOW, Lord Jayx is something else. He may be like what Tythos was but boy does push Lyla. Luckily she isn’t a fool. She uses her charm on him to find out what is going on. Two can play at this game. LOVE IT! But when they find a village maiden and bring her back to the castle, they are all in for it. When things are revealed I was upset. They knew and waited this long to tell her and seek guidance. I was an emotional wreck. But now we have a war that is coming. I look forward to the “War Bride.” Will Isla fall for Lord Jayx and his brothers? We shall see.

Wow this was an amazing book. This series just keeps getting better. The books are so well-written and thought out. Ava has a way of drawing you in and holding onto you till the end. It is a short novella serial so my review will be to.
This is Layla’s and her four mates continuing story. They are still are keeping thing from her. And if they do not tell her soon they may lose the one thing they hold dear. The shadowfell have returned and man is it so different than it was before. This is how they lost their dad in the last battle. And they are all so lost. But they need to talk to the oracle and the wyrd. But they may have something that they did not before. And if they do not talk to her they may lose her. Let’s hope the wise up in time.
Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do like this book, please consider leaving a review. The Authors really like it when you do; they value your opinions too

Fire Bride by Ava Sinclair ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fire Bride is an action-packed fantasy. I liked the first book in the series, but I loved this second book! Anyone who is interested in dragons will want to read it.
Lyla has settled into her new life. She’s taking charge of the household very capably but is also very curious about dragon affairs. In fact, she’s rather nosy. The men are busy with an impending war and with trying to keep Lyla out of their dragon business. But Lyla is determined and stubborn. She was so brave to want to try to save her former village!
I liked the alternating perspectives; it really added to the story. Much like the first book, the plot had a steady build up and held my interest throughout. However, Fire Bride had more action and suspense, which I really enjoyed.
This is my second book by Ava Sinclair and the second book in the series. I’m looking forward to book three, War Bride!

This was a fun and enjoyable book two. I like how Lyla is not the typical bride and doesn’t just fall into what her mates want. She never loses that fire that makes her, well her. She keeps pushing for more. The book gives great history and I really liked the opening for the book. It was a great introduction to this book. I also enjoyed that Lyla wasn’t alone completely, even with her mates doing/saying dumb things. She is much more forgiving than me. The story is written with each chapter being from a different point of view and like the first it adds to what is going on with the five characters. I always enjoy seeing stories from more than one persons point of view. The write is good and concise and Ava did a great job of adding to her created world. check out the complete review at underthebookmark.com

This one picks up a little while after Sacrifice ends. Lyla is mostly adjusting well to being a Fire Bride, but she feels as if her mates are keeping something from her.
Her mates were told that they shouldn't keep secrets from her and that she would be important in the war to come. But, they just can't get past the fact that she is their cherished mate and want to protect her. They are going to do that, no matter what.
Ava does really well in showing the problems that come along with trying to fit 5 people together in one relationship, even when there's a strong love bond. I love that Lyla isn't afraid to stand up for what she believes and to do what she considers right. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do that, and that describes our heroine well.

Ava Sinclair has outdone herself. I loved the story of Firebird. It has action, adventure, suspense, a little mystery, drama, and of course hot romance. I loved Layla and her spirited attitude and personality. She is amazingly strong and caring all at the same time. She is a female that doesn’t take any bull without reason. The poor Lords have a handful with her. The men in the story are just as amazing. The are protective and kind but all out alpha too. The story is extremely well written and it draws in so deeply that you just have to get to the end to find out what happens. This is definitely worth reading and it doesn’t disappoint.

Lyla's continuing saga
This continues the story from book one. Lyla is getting used to her mates. They called a war council in order to let the other dragon houses know about a destroyed village. A village that was attacked by the Shadowfell. The only problem is that they are hiding the information from Lyla, their own mate.
She is angry with her mates when a survivor was found at the village and told Lyla what happened.
This book shows how they planned to stop the Shadowfell and what Lyla's role in this adventure would be. Read the story to find out what sacrifices are having to be made in order to secure a future.

This story gives us not only more in depth information about Lyla and her dragon mates, but also what's happening in their dragon world. I feel like we're finally getting somewhere and the story is leading to a confrontation with the bad dragons. I'm a huge fan of transparency so the whole, keep this from her to protect her didn't fly with me and surprise, surprise, it didn't fly with Lyla either. When push came to shove her mates defended her to the council and we see the huge shift in how their society will move forward in the the future. This book is the end of Lyla's main storyline (at least as I could tell) and the next book will be Isla as a war bride.

Lyla is really out to her test in this second book. She had to play host of the council meeting and the other fire brides. She does this beautifully. She know her mates are hiding something from her and when she learns the truth, she is both hurt and angry. Can these villages be saved? Will she be strong enough for her mates? The witch queen thinks she can but will her mates agree? This book shows not only the strength Lyla has but also a love like no other.
Excellent writing!!Awesome storyline.

I liked that there was more depth and detail in this book then was in the first. But I just don’t like the sex scenes. They were not steamy or hot to me. I ended up having to skip every one of them after the first paragraph of each sex scene. I don’t like that the guys Penis’s can shift and move/grow. It’s weird and freaks me out. I also don’t like anal stuff so the anal beads were a turn off. I also felt like there was a sex scene every other chapter and it was just to much. I love the storyline and the premise just could do without the sex scene. Felt like I skipped over half the book.

So i made a mistake i hadn't realised that this was the second book in a series. Until i had it, but in saying that i still read and throughly enjoyed this book. I will be going back to the first book as i want the more of the back story but i didn't have a problem following this second book.
Lyla has settled into life as a Fire Bride, but she is having feelings that her mates are keeping something important from her. Lyla is strong willed and nothing will stop her from finding out what is going on and standing by her mates.
This was an intriguing read and my first reverse harem read. I fell into this mystical world and i look forward to seeing what will come next.

Cute little book
This a cute little series but I think that the whole series could be put into one book they are not very long and only a couple of hours reads meaning more money you have to fork out to buy but I still would becuse they are that good.
They story moves fast and the interaction between the characters are good but there is just something missing that I can't put my finger on it......

This was such a good read! I enjoyed it tremendously. The characters and their chemistry were not only believable, but seductive and sensual.
The pace of the story was steady and flowed very well. I really liked the main heroine and her control over her harem. And I really loved the boys.
If you love reverse harem stories, mixed in with fantasy than this one is for you.

This is book 2 of a serial. Book offers plenty of drama, intensity steam and emotional turmoil. War is brewing, things are getting complicated and the brother's desire to protect is conflicting with Lyla's need to act. An entertaining read. I'm posting an honest, voluntary review after reading this book.

This story continues the Drakoryan brides story and it is even better than Sacrifice. The ShadowFell are waking up and causing trouble. It is such an exciting story, full of action and emotion. The characters weave their way into your heart and you just want to see them win. A superbly written story that will take you on a journey to other worlds.

Such a good sequel! I really like this series. It’s a different feel from the first, but it needed that to keep this story going as well as it does. I love how strong Lyla is and how strong and secure her mates are to accept the changes and face the dangers that are coming for them. I look forward to the next book even though it’s told by a different character. This is a wonderful series.

WoW 🔥 dragons !
I couldn't put this book down because I was caught in the story from the first chapter. Ava has a way of turning her words into a picture in my mind . I can't wait for the next book but because I haven't read the first one that's where I'll start . If you pass this book up you'll miss out on something awesome!

Dark times of war are coming and Shadowfell are becoming smarter! Lyla must save the humans with her mates if they are to have any chance of continuing the Drakonyan line. But will Lyla’s mates continue to hide the truth from her in the misguided attempt to keep her safe? Or will they work with her and fulfil the prophecy.

This is the second book in the series. This one was more enjoyable than the first mainly because the characters are evolving. Lyla challenges her mates and the roles their society have cast women in. She is becoming more of a leader and an equal partner in the relationship.
The story leads to war, or at least the beginning of it.
4/5

Interesting.
I enjoyed the story and questions I had in book one are answered. I was very interested in the method in which you ride a dragon, it was ingenious. I fear for the future of the Drakoryans and their country and how all will fair in the coming war.
