Lady Alia Autumn hopes to encounter her soulmate after years
of attending meeting days. Her family is close to declaring
her matchless, and with the approach of her sixth year,
there may be no other opportunities for her.
Lady Riann Summer-Night’s program has helped even the odds
by making it possible for those of lower status to attend
meeting day gatherings. Lowborns Jaesin Park and his
bond-brother, Matty, have arrived at the well-to-do inn with
hopes of making a connection. With emotions running high,
only time and chance will determine if the odds are in Alia
and Jaesin’s favor.
The Lady’s Lowborn Lover
takes readers familiar with the Kegin series back to the
universe where the Keen (and others) live, love, interact,
and trade. The Kielan are psychics, one of three humanoid
races represented on the Council of Worlds along with the
Keen and Wolkin. The complexity of Kielan society is based
on class structure and their psi abilities. Reading this
story, I could appreciate the time and skill Brenna Lyons
utilizes in bringing the Kielan to vivid life through her
characters and their meeting day. Jaesin and Alia’s story
is exquisite, intense and erotic while yanking ever so
sweetly at the heartstrings. The writing refuses to allow
you to escape the urgency of their need, the deep-seated
hunger to find their soulmate that is crucial to Kielan
society. The obstacles in meeting a soulmate made me
question if whether the Kielan are their own worst saboteurs
for various reasons. The willingness to break through the
barriers demonstrates that, despite their gifts, they are
still afflicted with human foibles, whether emotional,
physical or mental. Ms. Lyons incorporates the magical
beauty of romance in every sentence, as each scene recalls
candid clarity in the quality of her writing through
gesture, expression, caress and spoken word. There is no
place she is unwilling to take her imagination whenever the
alien worlds she’s created are at the forefront ready to
take flight. |
