The story wasn’t bad. It seemed to drag at times and repeat itself. Very steamy scenes that will leave you blushing. Violet transforms into a queen as she collects her protectors. I enjoyed the different species of shifters that were introduced through the story as well.
Long may queen violet reign and may her reign be long and fruitful. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the domme queen and her men. It looks like 5 sexy men will get the ride of their life and I can’t wait to meet them all. I also can’t wait for more sexy time with violet .
I think it’s safe to say that I don’t think I’ve ever ‘read’ anything quite like this!
The story is interesting and looks like further additions to the series will be equally so.
AND I love the fact that Violet is the character who seems to take her pleasure from whomever she chooses. Sexual liberation abounds.
Let me first talk about the overall book. This was Scarlett’s first RH book and I think she did a good job with setting up the relationships and world for this series. I will say it is very similar to another series, but I think she made it different enough for me so its not a huge problem. I think the sexiness/BDSM aspect helps distinguish between the series. I have to say I fell for Elliott and Kaleo when reading the book and that changed after listening to the audiobook. I would recommend the book and am interested to see how it changes now that it will be cowritten with Loxley Savage. Great job on the book, Scarlett!
In terms of the audiobook, I unfortunately didn’t love it as much as I had hoped I would . I thought Ashley did a great job for her portrayal of Violet and I would have given her a 4 star review if she only did Violet’s voice. It was her male character narration that made it difficult for me to enjoy this audiobook. I think her voice for Elliott was good and ok for Ronan but Kaleo’s voice really made it hurt to listen. Its not how I heard Kaleo in my head and it made me want to fast forward when it was his turn. I don’t mean to be harsh, its my honest feeling when listening. I will definitely continue to read this series but I unfortunately won’t listen to another one if Ashley keeps her voice the same for Kaleo.
This is the first book in A Throne of Blood Series. This is a very steamy erotic reverse-harem fantasy romance! Earbuds required! Queen Violet’s quest is captivating, suspenseful, and hot! The story is well written, with multiple POVs from Violet and her protectors, Ronan, Kaleo and Elliot. Violet is a strong and dominant woman. The world building is well developed, and interesting. The storyline has really steamy scenes MF, MMF, MMMF, and MM. I would love to listen to the next book in the Series to know what happens next. Ashley Taylor did an amazing and outstanding job with the narration. All characters were easy to distinguish. The quality audio is perfect. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily written this review.
Ohhhhhhh ok. Do not listen to this one without headphones!!!! No. Seriously. I mean it. It is just, wow. Hot. Its my first m/m, m/m/f book and I just loved it. There is a story in amongst all the hotness, and it actually is rather good. The world that is built is great and I like the differences from the lore others use. I liked the characters and I really care what happens to them.
Being honest the English female voice grated on me to start with, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to listen all the way through. But then the American voice kicked in and I was blown away. This was the same narrator. I’ve never heard such good changes between accents. Its my first time listening to Ashley Taylor, this performance is just brilliant and really brought the book to life. I will definitely listen to her again.
I really enjoyed the main character. It was hard at first to figure out what was going on in the story but it soon made sense and turned into a good murder mystery. Lots of supernatural characters which is always fun. The ending wasn’t a horrible cliffhanger but more of a “oh boy, what’s going to happen next!” which I prefer when ending a book in a series. Lots of hot RH steamy scenes but more MM than I realized was going to happen. Either way the author did a great job on the scenes. This was told from multiple characters views so I was shocked there was only one narrator. She did an outstanding job performing this audiobook. Very impressed with it all.
Oh My Wow! Amazing!
I’m not normally one to read paranormal type books but sometimes they catch my interest and this book is one of the best i’ve read. It ends a bit on a cliff hanger because nothing is quite resolved, but Violet has formed her – I wanna say army, but they are so much more than that. I am sure the next book will lead them into the battle that must take place for Violet to Reign as Queen. Violet is such a strong heroine, she rarely lets down her defenses, and she pushes forward through all of the pain and grief. This book is heavy on the sex scenes but still has a strong plot, it also has BDSM, MM, ana MFM Scenes.
The Audio by Ashley Taylor was amazing. There were many different accents, English, Irish/Scottish, New York(ish), Midwestern, but they were all really well done, and none sounded overly played or fake. A very strong audio performance.
Violet is a half shifter half vampire. Her existence is forbidden. No one in their supernatural world was allowed to cross breeds. But she is more than that. She is Daughter to a King, and now that her father has been killed she is the New Queen of the shadow world. The books starts off with her mother being murdered. Until this point Violet did not know who she truly was, she only knows that her existence must be hidden. She swears to avenge her mother’s murder and sets off to find out who had her killed. Along the way Violet must find her protectors as they will be her shield and armour in battle.
Violet Sinclair, finds her life in turmoil. Her mother’s murder, takes her from a happy go lucky girl to a girl on the run. Along with her three chosen protectors, sworn to protect and serve they set out to find the answers she needs to take her rightful place in her new world, Queen of the Shadow lands.
This new series The Throne of Blood is steamy, hot Reverse Harem with BDSM, M/M, MFM scenes plus shifters and vampires.
The narrator Ashley Taylor did a fantastic job with the different accents and dialects.
This is a fair and honest review can’t wait to hear more.
Great Audible Listen 4.5 SmokingHotStars!
The Queen’s Protectors
A Throne of Blood, Book 1
By: Scarlett Snow
Narrated by: Ashley Taylor
This is one smoking hot listen! It is an enjoyable and entertaining story. Great for anyone who likes a some kinky BDSM included in their paranormal romance stories. Scarlet Snow created this great imaginative world of shifters and vampires. The storylines and the world dynamics of the shifters are interesting. The story is fast paced and sucks you right in. It starts with Violet, a hybrid, who is part shifter and part vampire, finding her mother murdered. She then learns of who she really is, she was a princess under a protective spell by her Mother the Queen. With her mother’s death she is now the Queen. Ronan her long time protector and lover has known this day was coming and Violet will no longer be just hers. Violet sets out determined to find out who murdered her mother and finds her other protectors along the way, Kaleo and Elliot. I loved the chemistry between Victoria and her protectors, also loved how the three men accepted each other in the RH type relationship, Alpha, Beta, Omega. It is great to have a story where the lead female is a determined, strong willed and minded person and a kind hearted one. This story offers drama, action, twists, a bit of suspense and some great hot scenes, some are polyamorous and include MF, MFM & MM action. Scarlett Snow, thank you for this great story, looking forward to your next one!!
I listened to the Audible edition performed by Ashley Taylor. She is an excellent voice performer and storyteller. She brings the characters to life, gives each their own voice and personality, does a great job with the accents too! Thanks for another great and entertaining listen.
OMFG this was so freaking amazing, Scarlett Snow has done a brillant job at writing a story that just sucks you in and leaves you wanting more. I loved this from the beginning and didn’t want it to end.
The Queens Protectors has a brillant story with amazing world building, I got a really good understanding of the world they lived in. The characters are strong and very loveable.
I loved that this book focuses of getting to know Violet and her protectors along with the role they all play and how their connection/bond forms and brings them together, and OMG does the BDSM, MM and MMF get hot and steamy and sooo freaking good.
Violet is a true Domme and the One True Queen, she is strong and protective of those she considers hers.
Ronan is a vampire and also the Alpha of Violet’s protectors, he also likes to know everything that is happening so he can be prepared.
Kaleo is a shifter who has been waiting a long time to meet Violet and become one of her protectors.
Elliot is an Omega wolf who is full of life and loves donuts (he is my favourite, he is just so cute).
I am excited to read the next book in the series to see what happens next.
Just wow! Scarlett’s Reverse Harem Nobel blew me away! Her story was dark and sexy. The characters were unique and I felt like I knew them all personally. The story itself was intriguing and so very sexy! Left me wanting more!
So HOT!! This is not your average Sunday RH read (he he). This is for grown-ups who appreciate steamy sex scenes and dominance and don’t mind a little M on M action. There’s a plot here, people, don’t get me wrong. This isn’t smut. Ms. Snow has done a wonderful job with the characters and maintaining a believable plot while weaving 5 sex scenes (I think). I appreciate that she didn’t make a ridiculously large RH ratio of 1 woman to 6 men or more. Because let’s be honest, there’s no way to please all of them at once. I look forward to where the series goes from here.
This story was a dark, gritty and original reverse harem. A strong FMC that knows exactly what she wants and isn’t afraid to make it happen. Loved the different POV’s from our main characters. Lots of world building with plenty of leads to expand. The twists keep coming and leave you with doors open wide for future installments. Be warned- this wild ride won’t be for everyone. I was pushed thru my comfort zone on multiple occasions…it was comparable to a train wreck, and kept you from looking away. Bravo for bring something new to the table!
If you are into m/m, m/m/f, m/m/f/m and shifters, this book is for you! Violet is an amazing Domme, yet sweet too. Her protectors are amazing and have their jobs cut out for them. Elliott and his playful nature is definitely my favorite. This was definitely a good start to the series and I can’t wait to read more.
I loved this book… It had drama, humor and super hot scenes.. I like how the characters interact and bonded…. I like the bdsm scene it has as well as the m/m scenes.. Got a lqbtq vibe.. Very good read
The Queen’s Protectors by Scarlett Snow are the first book that I have read by this author and I practically devoured this book. The author introduces us to intense drama, steamy scenes, and some deliciously amazing characters. Violet is a vampire/shifter hybrid. Her mother has just been murdered, and now Violet is ushered into assuming her mother’s role and finding her true place as Queen. But it won’t be easy. With the demise of her mother, the spell of protection will soon fade from around Violet and assassins will be on the prowl looking for her to end her life. Now she must find her protectors and stay a step ahead of those who wish to see her dead and their dark secrets kept from the light. This should be fun…
The Queen’s Protectors are a steamy reverse harem that will have you panting for more. Violet and the men that she begins to claim to make the pages heat up non-stop! Right from the beginning, I was hit with danger and drama as Violet comes up her mother mere seconds after her death. The author keeps me in a whirlwind of emotions with this book. I feel Violet’s pain and anger at the destruction of her mother’s life, but then I’m cast from side to side with how quickly Violet shoves the loss away and loses herself in the hedonism of her claiming her men and enjoying them. I’m delighted with the quick balance that the men strike up within themselves. I am pleased that there is no infighting and one trying to one-up the others to claim the Alpha position. I applaud Violet for making it plain from the beginning that all will get equal attention.
The only thing that I don’t like about this book is being left in the dark about a couple of situations. LOL! I want to know what happened!! I’m sure that one scene will come back to be fully played out in another book, but I was hoping that the author would follow up with the Kitsune. Other than that I am pleased to say that this book has been well edited and has few to no editorial errors.
I am more than eager for more of Violet, her men and to learn what happens next in their story. I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. If you love a good steamy reverse harem paranormal romance then this book is a must read! With alternating chapters on each character, you’ll be more than pleased with this steamy novel.
Aaahhhhh… Finally I got my greedy little hands on this gem. I’ve been anticipating this book for a while and the author did not disappoint. I love love love this book so hard. It was everything and more than the author promised. I’m currently suffering through a severe book hangover. I don’t know how I’ll survive until the next book. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go take an ice bath and eat lots of chocolate. I’m practically steaming my windows up by reading the scorching hot scenes. *sigh*
I highly recommend you one click this hot book.
I loved this book. The characters, the story… The was a tale well woven, and definitely fit for a queen. Won’t lie, Scarlett Snow’s boys made me want to plug them from the pages and keep them for myself.
Also… That book had some seriously hot scenes and I can recommend it SO MUCH if you’re into RH /MM / and MMFM books. It was just really well done… Making you squirm only a little. 😉
“Indeed I wasn’t able to save my mother, but ….. if I can’t avenge her.”
Well, Violet sure is. From sinfully wicked New York club to Italy’s lush, decadent ballroom, Violet is burning with the need to avenge her mother’s death. She will stop at nothing to take back that throne that was denied to her and unravel the identity of her mother’s killer. To get through all of this, she must enlist the help of her protectors and find the others to fulfill her destiny.
The author and her brand of writing is new to me, and as I read through this book, I know that this is another series I’ll be looking forward to. Violet is a clear dominant figure in this story, but this is not to say that the guys; Ronan, Kaleo and Elliot are not strong type either. Their relationship with each other is well balanced which makes for good chemistry that is very evident in the book. This is one dark and steamy read you can sink your teeth into and love every moment of it.
