Lord of Rage Jill Monroe 9780373618682 Books Reviews

When her parents' death spell throws Princess Breena to safety, she ends up on Oberon's doorstep, and discovers her Dream Warrior in the flesh. Breena is sure that Oberon is destined to be her champion and help her gain revenge against the evil sorcerer who killed her parents and murdered or enslaved the people of her kingdom. Breena is a Dreamwalker who has lived for the passion that she and Oberon have shared in their dreams. While those dreams form an instant connection between the pair when they finally meet in the flesh, they also prove to be a double edged sword for Breena, for as much as Oberon desires her, he is equally resentful and suspicious of the nighttime trysts which have left him aching.

I don't think I have read anything by Monroe before, but I really really liked Lord of Rage, I would say probably even 4.5 stars worth. All of the books in this Royal House of Shadows four-author-four-book continuity have had a fairy tale for inspiration, but while the basic story here starts with Goldilocks and the three bears with the twist that leading man is a Berserker and has a mystical connection to a bear spirit, Monroe peppers her story with all kinds of fairy tale references which add an additional element of fun to the tale.

I liked that Oberon was just as fleshed out as Breena, his back story is interesting and Monroe does a really good job giving both of her characters some depth, and even with the dream connection - which adds a bit of steam early on - I like that Monroe backs off, develops their relationship, and gives Breena and Oberon obstacles to overcome in order to win their happily ever after.

On a side note, one thing that really struck about Breena's back story was the reality of being a princess living only to make a match that will aid her kingdom, trying to be as quiet and unobjectionable as possible throughout her teen years so as not to close off any potential alliances, and being told that once she is safely wed she will at last get to be the person she was meant to be - I find the Disney sparkly gowned princess fantasy more appealing. But while sparkles are nice, there is nothing better than a princess who decides to rescue herself and I really liked that once Breena determines that Oberon isn't going to fight her battle for her, Brena sets out to become her own champion.

I read the four books in the Royal House of Shadows series completely out of order - the third one first, then part of the first one, then the last, and finally this one which was supposed to be second - but I don't think that dampened my enjoyment one iota. My only issue? Now I am having a hard time deciding which book I liked best, Lord of Rage or Nalini Singh's Lord of the Abyss, which I also really enjoyed. I think that Lord of Rage wins though because, unlike Lord of the Abyss which is the final book in the series, Monroe's second place story had the advantage of no expectations for a wrap up.

For readers who are wondering if they can pick and choose which of the Royal House of Shadows stories to read, all of the books have done a good enough job restating the rules of the series, and haven't really relied on events in other books. So that they all work just fine as stand alone reads, in case you'd like to give one or two of these fairy tale inspired romances a try.
Lord of the Vampires is the second book in the ROYAL HOUSE OF SHADOWS series. This series consists of 4 books written by 4 different authors. The first book "Lord of the Vampires" is written by Gena Showalter, the third book, "Lord of the Wolfyn" is written by Jessica Andersen and the fourth book which concludes the series, "Lord of the Abyss" is written by Nalini Singh.
The premise of the series is about an evil sorcerer that has killed the king and queen of the magical world, Elden. Before the King and Queen died, they used their combined magic to cast a spell upon their 4 children to save them. The king filled them with a burning need for vengeance; while the queen cast them from the castle to safety.
Breena is the second eldest child of the King and Queen of Elden. Being the only daughter and the princess of the castle, Breena lived a very sheltered life. She was protected from all of the violence and from men. Breena was to have an arranged marriage to a man of her father's choosing. The few things she knew of life outside the castle, she learned from her three brothers. Breena dreams of a warrior every night while she sleeps and she yearns to feel loved and touched by her warrior. After the spell her parents cast to save her and her brothers lives, Breena finds herself alone in the woods. She comes upon a cabin and goes inside to find shelter and food.

Osborn lives in solitary and trusts no one. Osborn is a berserker and he has the spirit of ber within him. He is raising his two younger brothers alone after his family and all of their village were slaughtered. Osborn and his brothers are now the last Berserkers know to exist and live in seclusion. The vampires that attacked his village wore the colors of Elden soldiers so Osborn hates everything and everyone from Elden and wants revenge. He dreams of a beautiful woman at night that makes him feel content and things he has never felt before. While out hunting one day, Osborn and his two brothers return home to find Breena, asleep in Osborn's bed. Osborn immediately realizes that this is the woman he's been dreaming of, and while he yearns for her, he does not trust her. He thinks Breena has manipulated his feelings in the dreams. Breena tells him what little she remembers of what happened to her and tells him she needs a warrior to help her reclaim her home. While Osborn wants to help her, he refuses to put his brothers lives on the line and bring danger to their doorstep.

I really enjoyed the relationship between Osborn and Breena. It was about Osborn letting himself trust what was happening between he and Breena. Breena struck a deal with Osborn for him to train her how to fight and protect herself since he was not willing to be her warrior. While Breena once lived the life of a sheltered princess, she became a true warrior princess. She fought to reclaim her memories and she fought to gain Osborn's love and trust, as well as kick some bad guy ass. Osborn was every bit the tortured hero. He had a hard time letting go of his painful past and seeing what could be between him and Breena. While they both wanted each other and felt a deep connection to the other, their relationship had a slow buildup.

Another part I loved about this book was Osborn's younger brothers. Osborn kept them sheltered and protected and did not like to speak of their family. They were two well mannered and sweet young men who were curious for any information or stories Osborn would give them about their people and their past. They loved having Breena around and they told Osborn they "wanted to keep her." Breena also taught Osborn to be more open with his brothers as the book went along and that he needed to teach them and train them in the way of the Berserkers.

This is my favorite book in the series so far. I cannot wait for Breena to finally be reunited with her three brothers and for the final showdown with the Blood Sorcerer to go down.
I chose this rating because there was just something missing. I did not see the endings as Isatisfying. I am used to reading stories by Laurann Dinner, Lora Leigh, Nalini Singh, Maya Banks, Diana Gabaldon, and NJ Walters and other great writers. This is the first book by Jill Monroe I have read and I am a little disappointed. So 4 stars is my choice. I hope the next book I read by Jill Monroe will have more impact and emotion. As I said, good story but just missing something. Perhaps what I missed was the ability of the author to emerse the reader in the story, to get the reader involved and make us care, the mark of a great author.
