“When you feel his allure, you will submit to his will.”Venai men have a power over women: they can compel our behavior. We don’t know where it comes from or how it works, but when we obey, we feel an otherworldly bliss. They call it allure.My blossoming ceremony, when I officially become a woman and experience allure for the first time, is supposed to be a celebration. Instead, it turns into a … celebration. Instead, it turns into a nightmare. Allure doesn’t work on me like normal women. It does something terrible, and when I can’t take it anymore, I run.
Defying a man’s allure could ruin me. People will call me a shrike. They’ll cast me out – or do much worse. Needing protection, I turn to the notoriously seductive Sir Cassian. He was there at my blossoming, and I could sense he was different too.
His help comes at a cost, one I find myself eager to pay: his dominance and passion unleash the bliss I’ve always craved. However, his desire to help me leads us down a dangerous road. Someone out there knows the truth about allure, and will kill to keep it secret.
Cassian and I can’t hide forever. To save our love, we’ll have to fight, even if that means paying the ultimate cost…

Inara is a caring and lovely young woman, a tiny bit past her childhood. Tonight she will take part in her “blossoming”. At this ceremony, she will leave behind her childhood, move into adulthood and possibly choose a husband who will stimulate her desire by applying the use of his male “Allure”. She is frightened by her feelings, and not yet ready to choose a permanent mate. Cassian is a handsome and virile knight who is ready for a wife. Will it be Inara?
This story is quite different than I expected. It is enthralling, alluring, and enticing. It is an adventure filled with submission, discipline, secrets, adventure, curiosity and deep human caring, and I LOVED it.
A dark fantasy read in a different time. Where men ruled and dominated over the women with the the power of Allure. Where women had no will of their own. Only to please and follow the dires on their men.
Inara the youngest daughter in the family seemed to be amune to the allure spell. That’s when she knew she was different.
Cassias finds himself allured by Inara and her defiant ways and takes great pleasure in inflicting painful pleasures. This is a times quite dark evil read about the dominance of man over women.
This read does prove in the strength of love acceptance and we all have secrets and living your best life.
This was such an interesting story for me to read. What a wild concept that men send out an allure, a wave of sensual emotion and women respond to it. It is supposed to comfort and bring ease.
As with all things, it affects people differently and I really enjoyed this story. Inara and Sir Cassian take a different road and find themselves in all sorts of trials and tribulations. I hope there is more to their story and how they change the world.
I read and reviewed a copy of this book.
Interesting story that had me glued too my kindle. I absolutely love Cassian and Inara’s story. Inara is a strong character and Cassian will make you swoon. Together they are explosive. Really good read with enjoyable characters.

In 8919 post ancients, women are to be owned by men. Their “Allure” helps them choose their mate. Inara is ready for her blossoming ceremony (which is slightly like a coming of age party) to find a partner/owner. The knight, Sir Cassian, is a well known player but finally is ready to take a wife. He wants Inara, but is there another reason he craves her to be his? She is different than the other woman but does not know why. Can Cassian help her find out what makes her different? This is a fantasy, romantic suspense with bdsm and a slave/master atmosphere. If you like your alpha’s dominant and love a good fantasy book this is for you! It kept my interest throughout. Told in dual POV
