Border Crosser: The Bear King's Bride
Iver, The Bear King
I am the new king of the Wood Lords but I’ve been taught well by my father. I respect my people and do my best to take care of them all. Our seer has foretold a new destiny for my people and the people of the Willow Kye. Princess Illayda is my fated mate. I’ve watched her from afar for years; she is beautiful and full of fire. I’m happy with this change of events. But will she feel the same?
Princess Illayda
I can’t believe I accidentally crossed the border into the land of the Wood Lords. The Bear King is nothing like the stories that are told, he is so much more. He is brave, handsome and cares for his people well. When he tells me I may not return to my people because I belong to him, he has another thing coming. Is escape possible? Or do I want to stay with him?
Publisher’s Note: This steamy sci-fi romance contains elements of fantasy, action, adventure and power exchange intended for mature readers only.

About the author
Mira Brooks
17 books31 followersBorn on the glorious Atlantic Coast of Canada, on a tiny island called Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Mira is the only child of two only children. Reading and writing was an escape for the shy, quiet and curious child. Not really fitting in, became more of a badge of honor as years went by. Originality was something she aspired to define on her own terms, often going against the social norm for her own views on what was right or wrong.
Now in her 30's, Mira still lives on the same Island she was born. A true Caper, who never left for any reason except a few short trips beyond the causeway, the idea of being far from her roots never enticed her away... Now, she is raising four children, surrounded by extended family and lots of pets. When Mira isn't writing she is cooking, painting or wanting to be writing.
Happy Reading, and if you can, leave a review. She loves hearing from her readers!

NOT EVERYTHING IS AS IT SEEMS
I enjoyed this sci-fi fantasy tale that will have two warring tribes of people, the Wood Lords, and the Willow Kye. The feud has been long-going, and while the Wood Lords hold power over the Willow Kye, a greater battle will take place. When you read the story, you will learn about what started the feuding, about the prophecies to come, and yes, it does end on a happy note.
“Harmony was a welcomed goal for everyone. The dye had set on the pages of their destiny.”
Newly King Iver had wanted Princess Illayda since he first saw her years ago when he was a border guard. Knowing her propensity for doing her own thing, like hunting, he will allow a group of me to chase her from her land, across the river onto his land and then for her to be captured by his guards. When a Willow Kye member crosses to Wood Lord's land, they become a slave to the King.
Illayda has been unhappy with her brother Kovan’s lack of leadership in hunting and replenishing the stores of their people, refusing to listen to anyone, and so she hunts in secret. She loves her people and wants to help them up with winter fast approaching. But this finally hunt will lead to her capture by their enemy, and now she is to be the slave of the new King.
The story is full of mystery, suspense, secrets, danger, feuding tribes, and foretold prophecy. Iver will handfast with Illayda and then on the full moon marry her, and she will become his Queen. Many of the things to come from their union are positive but must fall in place as foreseen. Not everything is black and white, and eventually, it all works out in the end. Even King Iver tries to offer a chance for a treaty and Chief Kovo instead insults Iver and Illayda.
“Willow’s words made Illayda’s entire life come into a clear focus. It was like she found the missing pieces of herself, she always felt was gone.”
While the story does have several sex scenes, it also has several discipline scenes, which are harsh and sometimes done while angry. This is a dystopian world; it isn’t a modern day or even historical. There are some gruesome events, but they are not actually detailed, left more to the imagination. The story is very heavy on the control of the King, the submission of Illayda, and the power exchange in their relationship.

At times I thought the men were to dominating, borderline abusive! The first ceremony I flip out when the slave was joining in. I personally felt that the slave being there was an insult to the future queen considering she was the kings sex partner. Other than that it was a good book.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Illayda chafes at the restrictions placed on women in her tribe. She is to be married, but she isn't sure of that either. When she goes out hunting secretly, she is driven over the border to another tribe's territory by men paid to do so by King Iver of the Wood Lords. Per the agreement between the tribes, she is taken as a slave. Of course, she doesn't find things much better in her new tribe. She is treated as a slave and is beaten, sometimes in anger, by King Iver. Eventually, they figure things out and love is found.
I enjoyed the book. I do want to warn potential readers that the discipline is, at times, harsh. Please do not buy or read if that bothers you.

I can’t stand books where rape and chauvinism are romanticized. Couldn't even read until 30%. I seriously don't recommend.
