Once upon a time, humankind ruled the world while lycans and vampires lived in secret. This is no longer that time. Rae Blood Day–the culmination of my training. The day I find out my fate. I will not cry. I will not beg. I will remain calm. Emotions are for the weak, and I am not weak. My name is Rae and I will survive this. But I never expected him to call my name… Kylan Someone wants to … and I will survive this.
But I never expected him to call my name…
Kylan
Someone wants to frame me for immortal insanity? Be my guest, darling.
I’ll just pick a fighter as my bait, a consort with a hint of defiance.
And when the culprit attempts to bite, I’ll be the one who bites back.
Because no one touches what’s mine, including the fiery redhead at my side.
Welcome to Kylan City.
I dare you all to come out and play.
****
Oh, no. This wasn’t good. I couldn’t afford for Kylan to be interested, not with immortality dancing at my fingertips.
You can’t want me, I thought. But how did I convey that?
I… I…
Do something!
My jaw clenched in frustration, not knowing how to stop this–him. His grip on my chin tightened painfully, his growl vibrating my chest. It took me too long to realize why, to realize what I’d done.
His tongue was trapped between my teeth.
I’d just bitten him.
I’d just bitten a royal vampire.
And not just any royal vampire, but Kylan, the oldest royal in existence.

Love this book, Kylan is a jerk, twisted , sick (aka vampire) even after taking Rae away from her chance at the immortality games. Of course he treats her terrible like the peice of meat the vampires expect. But something happens when Roe fights against Kylan and he can’t get enough of her. She changes his world. Their story is so very diferent from Darius and Juliet but that makes this book even better. Another hit for me and ready for what comes next.
Another amazing book in the Blood Alliance Series by Lexi C. Foss!!! I love all of her books!!! Such a steamy romance between Kylan and Rae!!! I love my vampires!!! Read and enjoy!!!
This one, it grabbed me in the first chapter and didn’t let me go……I was up until 2 am, wasn’t able to put it down!!
Rae, she was so innocent, as much as possible with the way she grew up. Not to be a spoiler but I literally flinched when she met Kylan, my mind went to a dark place.
Kylan, I was on the fence about him for a lot of the story, for such an ancient being he doesn’t seem to know himself well……just gonna say she was a wake up call for him.
The building story arc from the first book has me hooked, I will be stalking Amazon to make sure I don’t miss book three. Mark of a great story when you want more as soon as you finish. And I definitely want more!!!
Rae has finally made it to the end of her training-Blood Day. After losing his harem, Kylan is there to choose a replacement. Spotting Rae, she seems to be just the right one he needs. Defiant and a fighter, not to mention a biter.
I’m such a fickle person. I realised this today when I changed my mind as to which Foss world is my favourite. When I read and reviewed Son of Chaos I was actually determined that that was or is my favourite series. But here comes the fickle part. I’ve totally changed my tune. This book, not the series, but this book is now my absolute favourite.
What a world this author can build. Not only that but such complex characters along with a tightly packed storyline. From the minute I started reading I didn’t want to put the book down. You forget that the outside world exists.
Kylan & Rae are a couple that works. The sexual chemistry between them is breathtaking. You are being pushed and pulled between lust & hatred. It’s a real yo-yo of emotions.
It’s intriguing, suspenseful and intoxicating and I truly cant wait for more from this world. Roll on the next book. Highly, highly recommend!
This was my first book by Lexi, although is it book 2 in this series and I hadn’t read the first I took a chance hoping it could be read as a standalone without having missed too much from the first book – I’m a big PNR fan and this vampire / lycan world blurb had me itching to read it.
What I wasn’t expecting was to be absolutely blown away with this story – I can’t begin to tell you just how much I loved this and how immersed I was in the story line!! Is it too early to say this is going to be one of my top reads for 2019??
This is not your usual ‘fluffy and nice’ vampire world, excuse the pun, but this one has a bite to it, its a bit dark and nasty, but its absolutely delicious!! Set in a world where the vampires and lycans have ruled over the humans for the last 100 years or so, there is a queen and there are royal vampires and lycans who have their own territories. Humans are classed as property, they have no rights and are sorted according to their attributes. 12 of the top humans per year can compete for immortal status. Rules are to be followed, failure to do so will probably result in your death.
It is Rae’s time to partake in Blood Day when their fate is decided, she is hoping to compete in the Immortal Cup hoping her scores are enough to get her through. What she doesn’t want is to attract the attention of the oldest royal vampire Kylan, reknown for his harsh and brutal ways, but that’s exactly what happens when he picks her for his hareem. It seems Kylan brings out the worst in her, where she should be subserviant and passive, she is strong and determined and a fighter.
The world that has been created here has been brilliantly done and very easy to understand, ruled by different royals in different areas with some fabulous political moves going on and jostling for power. Humans now have no rights and are at the bottom of the food chain. Bred for food and service, totally powerless and under control.
Kylan is drawn to Rae and her strong will and determination, she is a challenge to him and he is determined to have her, mind, body, soul and heart. Kylan is fickle and not what I was expecting, he is controlling and can be cruel and sadistic but was also surprising in his manner with Rae, caring for her when his bretheren would have punished her. He is alluring and charming but does not let anyone get close to him, he relies on himself only showing no weakness.
Rae is a fighter, determined not to let Kylan break her, but she is slowly consumed by him, drawn to him, hating yet wanting him, yet she doesn’t fear him.
Kylan is being set up, being made to look like he is going insane due to his age, someone is plotting against him and he plans to use Rae as bait in order to draw out whoever it is. Kylan loves the fight in Rae and is determined to posess her in any way he can. The banter, the chemistry, the sexual push and pull between these two is absolutely delicious. There’s dirty talking and very hot steamy sexy scenes!
The story really captivated me in a way I just wasn’t expecting – I was immersed in this world oblivous to anything else around me, I was hooked!!! Brilliantly written, intriguing, stimulating, breath taking and so very full of emotions that I was not expecting to find!!
So after I finished reading this I immediately went and got book 1 (another review coming) and then did a re-read on this one – I can’t remember the last time I did that!! This really did tick all my boxes and then some. I can’t recommend this enough, seriously, if I could give it more than 5 stars I would, and that doesn’t happen often for me. I am very impatiently waiting for more in this series. I’ll just go read this again while I wait!!
Brilliant just absolutely Brilliant.This author leaves me stumped after every book i read not knowing what book i like the best,as the story that she drags you into consumes you whole and gets you into her mind and the story that your are reading, it doesn’t let you go until you have devoured the whole book,then it leaves you wanting so much more.
I flipping loved this story about Royal Vampire Kylan and Rae,it was a hard sell to start with as i wasn’t sure if i loved Kylan or hated him,but you need to read this to find out why that is.Rae is a feisty human that has been sold to Rylan as his consort and the chemistry between this couple was hot, smoking hot.
This story leads us into more of the Blood Alliance world and what is happening, it’s intriguing and will blow your mind with how everything is unfolding,it kept me guessing at every turn where i couldn’t put this down,it’s fast flowing with events that you don’t see coming at all.This is a world where you can lose yourself in and me for one i never want this to end,this is how this author makes me feel,sheer brilliance.
I absolutely loved this second book in this series,i can’t get enough of this world that Lexi is bringing me into,it’s enthralling,mind blowing with heat lots of heat.Five huge massive sexy stars.
Royally Bitten is the latest installment in the Blood Alliance saga by the wonderfully talented Lexi C. Foss. This highly addictive paranormal romance is complex, creative and absolutely exhilarating!
This enthralling tale begins on Blood Day. A day where humankind are auctioned off as slaves to the vampires and the lycans. A select few are spared this life by being chosen for immortality. Rae is one of those lucky few until she manages to capture the interest of Kylan, the oldest royal vampire. One who is rumored to be insane when his harem is found dead. Now with Rae as his chosen consort, he can use her as bait to lure out those who are scheming his demise. But somewhere along the way, lines get crossed, feelings begin to develop and an unbreakable bond is formed.
Royally Bitten is an unforgettable tale of tragedy, survival and deep devotion. It’s a well written novel that transports you to another time and place and immerses you so thoroughly into the personalities, feelings and lives of the characters that you never want it to end.
Royally Bitten’s is amazing, unique and has great characters! The minute I started reading this book, I was drawn in and could not put it down. I absolutely loved Kylan and the way he cared for Rae. This series is awesome, and I can’t wait to read the next book.
I love a strong, feisty woman. But I also adore it when the woman realizes that it’s okay to lean on others, it’s okay not to be strong all the time. It’s okay to fall in love, sometimes with what appears on the surface to be the wrong guy.
Enter Rae. She’s all that and more. Feisty, tenacious, determined to prevail despite her predicament as a human in a world where vampires and lycans rule. She gives as good as she gets, and I, for one, cheered her from the sidelines.
Enter Kylan…. oh my. What can I say? At times he drove me crazy, at others I wanted to clap him upside the head, but …. send ice for my burning loins. This vamp is HOT. And boy did he meet his match in Rae.
I adore Lexi C. Foss’s writing style, but there’s something about the Blood Alliance series that hits the spot with me. I can’t wait for the next in the series.
Put aside everything you think you know about vampires, lycan’s and humans. Grab a glass of wine and enough snacks to see you through because once you pick this up, you won’t be able to put it down.
You’re welcome!
I’m off to take a few deep breaths….
In a world where Vampires and Lycans rule, humans are food, servants and have no true rights.
It’s Blood Day, the day when Rae will learn her fate after years of training, yearning for a chance at Immortality. Kylan is the oldest royal among the vampires and is drawn to the feisty human that dared to bite him. Dancing in an unexpected game Kylan and Rae have undeniable chemistry.
This is a dark paranormal romance, there are no flowers and champagne at every turn. Lexi has done a masterful job at weaving this beautiful, dark, dangerous, and deadly world of the Blood Alliance. I can’t get enough of this new world!
I loved Royally Bitten and am totally loving this series, where even an alpha Royal vampire at the top of the food chain needs a challenge in his life. The human girl, Raelyn he selects for his harem on Blood Day, gives Kylan just that…..and a whole lot more!
We heard a bit about Kylan in the previous book, Chastely Bitten, a Royal vampire gone bad having brutally murdered his whole harem. A vampire gone age mad? Or is there something else at stake? Kylan is one of the oldest vampires alive, with a brutal regime and harsh reputation to keep up. Rae, a lowly human but with high intelligence, beauty and skill has trained her whole life for a chance on Blood Day to win the ultimate prize – a chance at immortality. To fight against 11 other humans to be the best, to be worthy. When a cruel twist in the rules places her in Kylan’s sights, she must remain calm, quiet and invisible but he sees the fire in her eyes that hasn’t been broken by her severe training and he selects her and takes her place in the contest from her. She must comply or die, she’ll have to obey, but she’s determined he will never break her and take everything.
I absolutely loved the push and pull relationship between these two, the chemistry, the fire, the fight. Kylan has his own reasons for choosing her but as time goes on, the reasons starts to blur as Rae slowly breaks down his barriers and we start to see the real man underneath the mask he has to wear. It’s emotional too, my heart broke at times for Rae, but she is feisty and full of fire and vulnerability, I loved her character. This book is full of tension, twists and wicked betrayals as well as the steamiest, hottest, sexiest scenes this author has written to date. It’s dark, dangerous and brilliantly written with characters you both want to love and hate, in a world where although humans are simply food and entertainment, the smell of secret rebellion and change is in the air. I can’t get enough and am excited for the next instalment where we hopefully get to meet the lycans of this world.
Brilliant, highly recommended five stars
Steamy! A fiery sexy addition to the series that took me by surprise. I love the twists and turns the story took. I can’t wait for more of this series!
This is the newest addition in the Blood Alliance series and I loved this even more than the first one!
This is Rae and Kylan’s story and I’d like to start off by admitting that I had a bit of a love/hate thing going on for Kylan while reading this. If I’m being completely honest, he made me so freaking angry until I started to get to know him better and began to see where he was coming from. Rae is a strong willed human who comes to Kylan’s attention and interest and he wants everything from her. I loved how they challenged each other. There’s a bit of a mystery going on here since someone is targeting Kylan and he will do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of it.
I love how well this author creates a magical world filled with compelling characters that I fell in love with and I’m very much looking forward to reading much more from her in the future. I highly recommend reading this entire series to anyone.
I reviewed this for Reviews from the Heart.

Royally Bitten by Lexi C. Foss is the second book in the Blood Alliance Series. A series that is getting better and BETTER!
Rae is a fighter and is courageous. On Blood Day, she is hoping to be chosen to participate in the Immortal Cup. So, when ancient and royal vampire Kylan takes an interest in her as his consort and kisses her, she bites him.
Kylan is jaded and bored with his lot. After one sizzling bite with a defiant human, his animal instincts are intrigued.
Claiming Raelyn as his consort will change both their lives – Irrevocably.
This was an amazing read that was addicting and page-turning.
I love Rae’s defiance and fight. Her time in the snow made me smirk and giggle.
Kylan simply melts my heart with his actions and words.
I LOVED their relationship. He is jade and an ancient vampire. I love that as much as he thinks he getting to Rae, she’s chipping off pieces as well. He doesn’t even realize it.
I am addicted to this series. This story made my heart melt and swell. I am excited and impatient for the next installment.
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Royally bitten will bite you and hold on
Royally bitten is the next book in the Blood Alliance series and yes, we meet up with Darius and Juliet again in this one! But we meet Kylan, the Royal vampire best known for killing his entire harem and we meet his newest addition Rae, or as he likes to call her Raelyn!
Soooooo many surprise twists in this one, that I did not see coming but I absolutely adored the characters and the storyline and definitely plan to read more in this series when it becomes available As I got to the end I thought to myself I’d like to learn more about the Lycans and Rae’s friends from her past, Silas and Willow….and low and behold I believe the next story is called Regally Bitten and I’m getting some of my wishes come true.
A big thank you to Lexi for my advanced copy for which I leave my honest review and thank for allowing me into her wonderful paranormal world
Let me start by clarifying that I own every single one of Lexi’s books –
Her ability to weave a tale goes beyond the mundane to the realm of exceptional – Her stories easily transport the reader to another realm -Fully immersing them in an unparalleled world of magic and make believe
I hated closing that last page on Royally Bitten
Rae is my type of heroine – She has no intentions of lying down and “accepting” her fate – she will survive on HER terms the only way she knows how – one small biting battle at a time – Lawd I love her tenacity and innocence – and may the goddess help you if you get her hackles up
Kylan – if you read the first book in this series than you know Kylan might be suffering from insanity and even though he is a Royal he might just possibly maybe need to be put down – but, then again maybe not (NO I am not telling you to have to read it for yourself)
I will admit I was not his biggest fan through most of this story and he is still in my Makes me mad as H E L L yet Sexy as sin box –
Is he redeemable?
Can a Royal of his age truly see humans as more than pets and fodder for food and entertainment?
The Blood Alliance series is a post-apocalyptic paranormal series where humans are nothing more than food and Werewolves and Vampires rule
I am not sure why you are still here?
Go on get clicking!! This is one journey you won’t want to miss
Royally Bitten was great fun to read! Yeah, I’m a bit twisted but seriously, Lexi C. Foss is magic with her words and even this dark and foreboding world comes alive under her talent.
One feisty, smart and tenacious human, one dirty talking, ancient and arrogant Vamp, a harrowing world full of despair, death and little hope for humans, and a fast moving plot with lots of action and steam, come together in an awesome balance of light, dark, and cunning wit, to make one brilliantly fun read. Despite the darkness within or maybe because of it, I had a great time reading Rae and Kylan’s story. Bravo, Lexi! I can’t wait for more.
Once again Lexi C. Foss gives us another fantastic book written with wonderfully complex characters that you can’t help but fall in love with.
Royally Bitten welcomes us back into the Blood Alliance series to meet the royal Kylan and his consort Rae. Everyone believes Kylan to be possibly mad/crazy but things are not always what they seem. Rae has done everything she can to be ready for Blood Day selection, but when she unwittingly catches Kylan’s notice her worst fears seem to be her fate (or do they?). Darius and Juliet from Chastely Bitten make an appearance as well in this fantastic book. I loved watching Kylan and Rae challenge each other and themselves as we watch their love story unfold.
Lexi C. Foss just keeps getting better and better with every book I read. I can’t wait for book 3 when we get to play with the Lycans next!!
Royally Bitten returns us to the Blood Alliance world. This visit has us following one of the most ancient of the Vampires, Kylan. Blood Day presents a distraction from the humdrum, a game to play. That is until one female draws his attention.
Rae has worked hard to earn a right in the fight for immortality, Kylan’s interest is the last thing she wanted. But now she has it, what can she do?
Can she reign in her fierce, warrior spirit and be the subservient human she is “supposed to be?” Or is Kylan drawn to her because of that spirit? Will he foster it? Or stifle her and the heroine she could become?
This is definitely not a hearts and rainbows love story, but full of action, intrigue, twists, and turns. The ride keeps going from start to finish, and Lexi doesn’t disappoint. I loved the story, I enjoyed the characters. Even when I wanted to beat the hell out of Kylan for his thick-headed moments. I want so much more of this series!
