Reviews for The Last Vhalgenn
Duty to king and country has shaped Raik’s life since birth, but to protect them, she must perform a ritual that betrays all she holds sacred.
The Vhalgenn is a warrior, bedmate, soulmate, companion, and friend. Trusted by the king. Hated by the queen. To save the newborn prince, the Vhalgenn will risk her position, her honor, and death itself to honor the Old Ways. But when she takes the newborn prince to the queen’s homeland for a ritual blessing, she discovers a betrayal so deep the kingdom — and her heart — might never recover.
This fantasy features a strong heroine, and was originally part of the 2008 EPIC eBook Award Finalist anthology A Time To… Volume 1 – The Best of The Lorelei Signal, from Wolfsinger Publications, which is now out of print. The strong female character possesses nobility, honor, and courage, and is a role model for women. The book is dedicated to all women warriors, whatever their battle, and is written by a female US Navy Veteran.

This is a strange yet entertaining book. It has treachery, loyalty, jealousy and love all in this short story. This would be a great read for when you have little time to spare but would like some great reading entertainment. Kayelle Allen has written another enjoyable tale to read.

The Last Vhalgenn is an exciting and engrossing story of love, betrayal, and doing what must be done, despite the consequences. It captures the ideals of duty, honor and love and embraces them, turning them into a beautifully knit sequence of events that you are unable to stop following.
Reviews for Trailing Kaiwulf
Travel to a godforsaken planet on the outskirts of space. Check. Hold intrusive military goons at bay. Check. Find an invisible man in a different dimension. Check. Finish out the vacation TRAIL yanked you back from to do it? Easier said than done. Yanked back from their first vacation in ages, Jee and Dane get handed a top priority mission. The pay is better than they’ve earned before as agents for the Trace, Rescue, and Identification League. After this, they might not need jobs. They’re the best there is, and the item, person, or secret hasn’t been invented that these two can’t recover. Until now. After all, how do you find an invisible man in another dimension? The archaeologist in charge can’t afford this fee, and neither can the military. So the real question is who — or what — is behind the request to trail Kaiwulf?

I like the way Ms. Allen has melded all of the various genres this book contains into a single novel. There are surprises which are continually popping up especially when you consider the relationship between Wulf and Luc, a pair of guys who previously have been adversaries. I found this book to be a page turner because of this.

Wulf is set in Ms. Allen’s wonderful Tarthian Empire. Full of wonderful characters, places and a world building that leaves you breathless. I am in total awe of Ms. Allen’s writing style as she creates a world that had me on the edge of my seat as Luc and Wulf fell in love and found them learning to trust one another. I loved the dynamics between Wulf and Luc as well as other characters that play a major part in Wulf.

In Wulf, Kayelle Allen has created a brand new universe of exotic aliens, modern technologies, and age old familiarities. A unique blend of the old and new that slips the reader unobtrusively into a passionate future of infinite possibilities where even what seems to be an impossible relationship can turn into a romance that lives forever.

The first thing that struck me about this book is the vivid descriptions that Ms. Allen uses. You will feel as if you are right next to the characters experiences their wants, needs, pains and desires. The interaction between Saint-Cyr and Wulf are natural and fluid. The male on male action is sexy and sensuous, with the tension between them building like a slow burn to ignite toward the end. Ms. Allen has a wonderful flair and unique voice. If you like m/m, then you will love Wulf.

While her previous two books were male/female interactions, this one is a male/male love story. It is nice if you know her former books as you meet some of the characters again. For example, you meet a young Senthys going through his teenager years, which is really cool and fun.
Reviews for Alitus (Tales of the Chosen)
Life gets complicated when the empress orders Alitus to find out if a friend’s lover is having an affair. Especially since the affair is with Alitus. Passion. Submission. Loyalty. A Chosen bares his heart forever.
Alitus lives in a world full of political intrigue, and he is supremely alone. As a Better, an enhanced human, he can touch no one — his pheromones are addictive. He keeps his affair with Wulf secret, because Wulf belongs to another, a powerful man allied with the empress. When the man asks the empress to investigate whether Wulf is having an affair, Wulf’s relationship with Alitus could be exposed. Complicating matters, the empress reveals her immortality, and requires Alitus to prove his loyalty. Her test will throw him straight into Wulf’s arms, right in front of the empress and Wulf’s lover. Hiding what they are to each other has taken discipline and denial. Now, it will take a miracle.
