Tempted by the Fae by Cassidy K. O’Connor is such an awesome story to read. This is book number one in this awesome start to a brand new series writn by a brand new author for me to read. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about erotic, sweet and paranormal romances in their stories as much as I do.

The blending of modern and antiquated traditions.
This is a fantasy tale of Keara a coming of age Fae who is faced with some decisions. Will she accept a life mate or is there something else she wants. What she does is join the Laochra Gra and now must help men find their soulmates to keep them safe from the Lianhan Shee. There is lots of fun and a magical goodness in the story and it is a rather sexy tale. You will also find humor and sadness with some interesting twists and turn. This is the first book in the series. It is beginning to develop into a splendid Irish feeling tale. Hope you check it out. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
This is book one in The Love’s Protector series. Meet Keara, she lives in Ireland with her faery clan. As she awaits her coming of age ceremony where she is to pick her mate she begins to wonder if this is all she wants for her life. What if she could do more? What of she could be part of the Laochra Gra? The Laochra Gra are faery women that protect the human men from evil called Lianhan Shee. I found the book entertaining to read but the story line did not have a smooth flow. It’s the first of the series and I found it interesting enough to want to carry on with the series. After all, in this book, it is the women that seem to have all the power. Enjoy!

3.5 Tempting Stars
This is my first story by Cassidy that I’ve read. I enjoyed her writing style and her characters but I’m not so sure I enjoyed the storyline. So let me get to that….it’s basically about a woman who is about to come of age. She’s still pure and at her coming of age party, she gets to chose a mate and procreate etc. But here’s where it gets a bit dicey….she witnesses something in the small village close to where she lives which is sensual and forbidden by her clan until she comes of age. She follows this group around until the finally introduce themselves. Now she’s leaving the clan and becoming a part of their warriors.
In order to save future human males from their enemy, they have to hypnotise them to give pleasure and then when they find their mates, set them free with no memory of these events! Now essentially I know this falls under the paranormal genre and they are attempting to protect these men from their enemy, but to me it just sounds like forced sexual slavery for men, even though it is mentioned that the men wouldn’t participate if they felt uncomfortable. I’m not sure I’m sold on this but I will attempt this next book and hope it’s better.

I don’t know what I expected from Tempted by the Fae but it wasn’t what I got. I got a story of women who don’t fit in in their clans working for a goddess to fight what amounts to an evil succubus preying on men and stealing them from their true love. I don’t really understand how it all works butt hope it is explained more fully or becomes more apparent in future installments. Meanwhile it is a sexy tale of female empowerment that is well worth the read.
The great plot was well written and the characters were so well developed that as I turned each page the chemistry between the characters kept me totally hooked until the very last page!

It was very entertaining book. Great storyline with interesting characters.
Whimsical Irish tale. It was definitely enjoyable.

Tempted by the Fae is the first book in The Love’s Protector Series and is a good start to this new series.
The storyline is interesting and original, with the women of the village helping the men to find their soul mate and protect them from the Lianhan Shee who would enslave them until they die. Keara, who lives in Ireland with her faery clan and is strong-willed, decides to join the women.

Too Much and Not Enough World Building
This is the first installment of a series that looks to be like a bunch of quick reads, each book a short novella. The book’s pacing felt rushed to me, like the author was trying to cram what should have been a novel-length story into a novella. It is a complex world that she has created, but it isn’t fully fleshed-out and is at times confusing; perhaps later books go into more depth. The book, unfortunately, had the major pitfall that I see so often in novellas—and frankly, it drives me a little crazy as a voracious reader—the prodigious information dump, or in this case, information dumps. I really wish that authors just took the time to let certain details unfold rather than dumping it all at once—or letting us see and learn from an actual scene, not just telling us. And of course, in this case, while there were these data dumps, not nearly enough information was provided for the reader to not have some confusion about the world. A double-edged sword, for sure!
The book is also surprisingly steamy. I really shouldn’t be surprised, as I have read a few books by this author. But still, I found the sexual encounter that happens within the very first few pages to be a bit jarring. I also felt like the dialogue wasn’t realistic at all everywhere, especially when the heroine meets the woman and starts talking with the woman involved with the sexual encounter, I know this is a novella, but it seemed like the central dilemma just dropped out of nowhere. All in all, I found this to be a disappointing book.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
This is a totally different take on anything I’ve read bout the fae. Keara doesn’t fit the mold of all the young fae women in her village. Upon coming of age, the women choose their mates from the available fae men. During their life up to this point their chastity is protected and they know nothing about sex until their husbands deign to decide what to teach them. Keara holds to her conviction that she will not marry, that there is more to life than just the village and having babies. This was an interesting story and the clan she ends up with takes their studies on how to seduce a man seriously. Their mission is to connect men with their fated mates and teach them how to keep their women happy. I really liked this story and want to see more of Keara’s missions now that she has graduated.

What will Keara do?! Be a part of her clan by choosing a mate or look into what the other has to offer. Her story is just beginning…

A choice. Join a group helping human men find their mates, or pick a mate she doesn’t love. Keara doesn’t want to choose a mate. There is no one that she has any feelings for. Then she learns about a group of women who train human men how to pleasure women, and hook them up with their mate. If the human man is found by Lianhann Shee she can control them and enslave them until they wither away and die. If they find their mate they are safe from her. Now she has to start her training in pleasure.
Superb
This is the story of Keara who is a fae. She is about to come of age to choose her lifelong mate. Only she comes upon another clan with a different purpose for their women. This is an interesting twist. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I wasn’t sure where this story was headed, I am a huge fan of Cassidy O’Connor and have greatly enjoyed many of her other stories. This is a well told, steamy tale and as an intro to a new series, I look forward to the next story to see how all develops.

Well I can say that this was definitely not what I expected. However it was a great book to read.
Keara is a fae and is at the age where she needs to choose a mate. However, she does not feel like she is ready to settle day. One day she ventures to the human realm with her friends and sees something that changes her fate. She learns that there is another clan out there that helps humans find their soulmate. The way they go about that is different. Once she has made her decision she embarks on a journey of self discovery. She learns the art of seduction at this new clan. She also tries new things. There is a sizzling heat level throughout the book. You do get a better understanding of Keara as the book progresses. Once she has mastered the techniques she is shown she is about to be sent on her first mission. This will be an adventure you do not want to miss. I would like to see how this will go.

The book is a good sweet paranormal romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story is an enjoyable sweet romance read.

Good story about someone who feels like they never fit in and what happens when she finds there is another way to live. Add in lots of magic and a magical destiny and you have a very good story.
I found the start of this series to be rather disappointing. The idea that men had to be trained, like dogs, to please a woman, was unsettling to me (and that it was THEIR job to do JUST that, and cater to the woman’s every whim – wrong!). The idea that men, if left to their own devices would go around like dogs in heat acting like an a$$ just unimpressed me. The one redeeming quality was the idea of matching men with their mates before a rival Fae group killed them off. However, the lack of mention of a counter-point group for the female population did not sit well.
I did not care for Keara’s character. She was too self-indulgent for my liking to be able to see what would truly benefit another person. I did, however, like the relationship between she and her training partner, Callie. (I really liked Callie, would like her to get more time.)
