Anna has plans for her life. This fall, she will be heading off to medical school, well on her way to becoming a doctor. But first, she and her besties head to Ireland to celebrate. Nowhere did her future plans even include serious dating, let alone becoming mated to a man who can turn into a freaking beast with wings. Nor did she reckon with being sucked through a portal onto another planet … planet while on her way home from a great night out.
Yet from the very first time her new mate touches her, Anna wonders if this could be the real deal – as in: the big L. The only problem is, her mate says his kind do not love; they protect, they pleasure, and they provide.
Can Anna really kiss goodbye to all her plans for the future, and agree to spend the rest of her existence without love?
Publisher’s Note: This steamy paranormal romance, while the third in the Alcyran Chronicles series, can be read and enjoyed as a standalone.

A really good shifter romance with an alien twist.
Anna was on a fun reward vacation with her two best friends one minute and the next they were chased through a portal into a strange new world by a monster. D’Vorak was just trying to save his race on his home planet by fulfilling a task of bringing back three women when he realized that one of the women was his long hoped for mate. While D’Vorak admits he was consumed by the mating call of Anna, he knows that he could’ve handled her abduction much better than he did. Now, he can only hope that she will forgive him and begin to love him as he loves her.
This is the third book in the Alcyran Chronicles and can be read on its own but it is so much better when read in the order it was written.

At least Physically! Cuz He says His kind don’t DO LOVE…
Well… She’ll see about THAT,
or She’ll find a Way BACK to Her own Planet!
Cuz, She can’t live without being “Loved by the Beast” in Reality!
I absolutely LOVE the Anya’s Writing & the way Her series’ are interwoven together… She brings ALL Her characters together & allows their Lives & Worlds to overlap so seamlessly… it’s truly amazing! Each book in each series truly STANDS ALONE, & yet SomeHow, many also interconnect, & even overlap to keep adding new dimensions & layers providing more & MORE fabulous details about wonderful character that just engage our greedy minds!!
Take a chance, One-Click “Loved by the Beast” by Anya Summers; it offers not only that forbidden peek inside an exclusive lifestyle, where Power is Exchanged… It also provides a bit of a Getaway from Reality, where ANYTHING GOES, & I do mean Anything!!
Plus, Anya Summers is one of those Rare, Coveted 5 STAR Authors; the one’s I SAVE that Coveted Rating for, because they’re Books/Items Outshine, Outclass, & Outperform their competition… They’ one’s who’ve given me something MORE! The Anya Summers has won that Distinction for “Loved by the Beast!” Kudos, Ms. Summers, for your Stellar works!!!!
This book, contains BDSM elements, & is intended for readers over 18; if that’s not your type of Reading Genre, please don’t dip your toes into this book, as you won’t enjoy it. Plus, leaving an unfavorable review, because it’s not your cup of tea, is unfair to the author. That said, you know what to Expect… So Enjoy an excellent Read!

I just love Anya Summers, even writting sci-fiction, which is not my favorite genre.
The sex scenes are amazingly hot, meaning really burning hot.
Finally the three friends get together and having an happy ending for all of them is great.
Really enjoyed it.

In this book we meet Anna and D’Vorak. Anna is looking for a bit of fun before she really starts buckling down in med school. D’Vorak is looking to break a pact that was made long ago. What neither planned on was meeting the one person who could change their life forever. At first look neither can believe what is going on both for different reasons of course. D’Vorak can’t believe he has finally found his mate. Anna because there is a winged man flying above her and her friends. Will they come out of this finding something no someone they never imagined would be there just for them or will outside forces make sure that never happens?
This is an amazing story by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. This book is part of a series but each book can be read as a stand alone. I would however recommend reading the entire series. This book will have you on a thrill ride you won’t want to get off of. I would highly recommended it to anyone and everyone.
Loved By The Beast by Anya Summers is a wonderful story to read.This is book number three in this wonderful series that I have loved reading from the very begining. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about shifters, Sci-Fi, erotic and paranormal romances in their stories.

This is the 3rd book in the Alcyran Chronicles and like the other two can be read as a standalone but i would reccomend that you read all 3 as they are absolutely fantastic and all the characters are amazing and memorable and it helps that these paranormal romances are filled with steamy scenes that will have you blushing.
D’Vorak the King of the Gula took it upon himself to find the 3 human woman that are fortold to change the future…… the mission wasnt a success….he lost 2 of the women….but how was he to focus when he found his mate…..and there was no way he was letting her get away…he has waited for centuries to find her…..

Lifting the curse of the Clovis
—>>> Review Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars – The third book in this series does not disappoint with D’Vorak, a gargoyle shifter and king of the Gula in the alien realm. Anna finds herself mated to D’Vorak but wishes to also be back with her two best friends and her life on Earth. For D’Vorak, finding a mate after three centuries was a blessing for him and his people. Now if only he can lift the curse which has plagued his kind, his life would be perfect…as long as Anna remains by his side. Enthralled by the creative writing I have read thus far!
Third book in this series which finally brings all 3 friends back together. This is Anna’s story about her entry into her new life. I think this has been my favourite in this series & as it’s a different genre than what this author normally writes & it feels like she’s hitting her groove. This story flowed well, it had great characters & a story that provided interesting twists & turns. I enjoyed the feistiness of Anna but just loved D’Vorak try & work out why his mate isn’t enamoured with the changes that have happened in her life. With all of the characters & potential stories to come, I’m hoping that this isn’t the end of this series.
Action packed, emotionally thrilling, sexy and engaging adventure filled with mystery, passion, intriguing charters and very entertaining reading from beginning to end. An enjoyable reading experience that was a great summer read.
This is the third installment of the story about three friends who are pulled into another world while on vacation in Dublin. This story is about Anna and D’Vorak, the pre-med student and the king of the Gula (gargoyles). It’s not necessary to read these in order but everything makes more sense if you do. The character development was good for a book of this length. I found myself feeling as if I was there with them. Definitely a good read.

I have to say i have mixed feelings about this one! The story was good, it had some action but too much sex and not enough romance. The h couldn’t seem to make up her mind about her feelings! The H was all alpha! The premise of alternative world is a great idea!

Loved the book it was great the story was well written and the characters were interesting. Anna has to decide wether her mate is worth losing everything that she has worked hard for, just to be with D’vorak that says he cannot love, but he is there to please her, protect her and tend to all her needs .
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

A thrilling third book in ‘The Alcyran Chronicles’ series and it is a gripping one! Exciting storyline of suspense, witches, aliens, action, drama, twists and turns, and so much more. Amazing and strong characters (D’Vorak is dominant and Anna is feisty but sweet); fated mates with off the charts, intense, and potent, chemistry. This book is guaranteed to leave you wanting more. Definitely recommended!

This was the third book in the “Alcyran Chronicles” series and I was absolutely hooked from the very beginning with the great character and plot development that I couldn’t put this book down until I finished reading the very last page!
I have been waiting for this third book in this series and it did not disappoint. The Gula are not as backwards as the rest of the planet supposes. In fact they are probably the most advanced Clan of all. It was the Gula King that started this whole adventure when he chased the girls into the portal. (Why did he do that. Now that would be telling.) He realizes that one of the girls is his mate before they fall through the portal and upon arriving on the other end he captures her and takes her back to his castle. A series of events occur due primarily to what I consider non-communication between the parties. In the end it all works out, the three girls are reunited and all is sort of well. I am hoping there is a fourthl novel that ties up what happens to the Clovis and Drao Clans.

Anna, with her two other friends on vacation in Dublin. As they’re walking home from a bar, this Winged creature chases them down the street and into an hour wait which leaves them into a wall wall that leads to another planet. What is that in a warm hole they are in another world and unbeknownst to her, the wing creature is still chasing her because he has now found out that she is his mate. Considering it took a long time over a century for him to find his mate he is in hot pursuit. She is now running which was really kind of weird considering she stated that she knew several different martial arts but didn’t use it on him strange but true. As the tale goes on, she has considered to be in his mate, Kinda, sorta, maybe, eeh.
This story continues with extremely nice steamy scenes, irresistible portal which other and coming to terms with reality good bad and indifferent. Loved it. Great characters. A standalone book with a nice HEA and hopefully there is a fourth book. A lot of things occurred you had to keep up but it was a really nice ride.

This is Anna story
Moira, Gemma and Anna ,besties on vacation transport to different world.
Anna is captured by a beast that she’s terrified but curious about. D’Vorak is a King. His surprise to find his Mate is almost explosive. Nobody in his kingdom had a Mate in hundreds years.
Anna, so curious,scared and so attracted to this giant beast who can transform to human form too. Will she finally accept her role as Queen? Did she lost her girlfriends ?
It’s a lot of steam coming from this book, and also love,protection and understanding.
Don’t want to miss as Anna and D’Vorak learn how to navigate in this new life together.
