4.5 wicked stars! I loved this short romance. There was plenty of action and romance to keep you on your toes, and yet you don't feel rushed. Agrius and Eione are perfect for one another, both stubborn but perfectly matched! I look forward to reading the rest of this spinoff series!

I'm not even sure what I just read It was a quick sexy read, that was very confusing. But hey not bad

Another heart warming heart melting romance. I loved unveiling this story Eione is a strong woman with a heart of gold. Agrius is a fine example of a centaur. These two really balanced one another.Ms. Slate writes with a lot of emotion and gives you warm fuzzies. I'm so thankful that I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. If you love centaurs, strong women and action with your romance then grab your own. I cannot wait for the next story, I am loving this series.

I have loved this series from the very beginning so this didn't disappoint me. I was drawn into Eione and Agrius's story from their intense first meeting. From history they are to be mortal enemies, however something has drawn the two together. Where they destined to be? What is the outcome? Is something bigger in the works? I guess you have to read this to find out.

With the same action and well-rounded characters as her full length novels, this novella spin-off will hook you from the very first page and keep you on the edge of your seat until the end.The main characters, Agrius and Eione, were first seen in Earth Borne where, despite their short appearance, caught my attention and left me wondering about their story.In Romeo & Juliet fashion, these destined lovers are not simply from warring families, but warring *races*. Caught up in the threat of war [...]

I'm a huge fan of the Halcyon Romance Series and super excited that the Lords of Thessaly are getting their stories told because after reading Earth Borne I wondered what was going to come of Thereus' brothers. Now they are going to have their stories told. Rachael kicks off with Agrius. Eione is a strong compassionate woman and she finds herself on the path of a future she wants nothing to do with. Luck must be on her side when Agrius crosses her path because she is soon set on a new path. How [...]

I loved both of the characters in this book exactly as they are, both of them show their deep loyalty, protectiveness and love for all those around them. The way all of the characters are written makes you feel like you know them and would want to find out more about their past and future.This book could be read alone or read as a continuation of a series as there is enough information into the history if you have never read the other books but if you have read the others it's a reminder of what [...]

A Special and Different Kind of Love StoryAgrius (a centaur) and Eione (a huntress) both of noble birth but each born to waring people. Eione hunts to secretly feed her people without her family knowing till the day she finds her game is also a man. Agrius finds himself shot while trying to do something to save his brother. The captivating young woman is his life mate but he can't have her because it would cause a war. Then she asks for his help offering to take him to what he seeks if he helps [...]

This novella is my first exposure to the works of Rachael Slate and I found it entertaining and sweet. Agribusiness and Eione make a wonderful pair and this author brought them to life swiftly. The storyline moved along great and stirred the yearning for a good resolution for the characters. A very easy and delightful read I would recommend to PNR fans. There are steamy scenes so this should be read by adult audiences. Agris portrayed the definition of gentlemanly restraint and respectfulness to [...]

Wicked Lord of Thessaly by Rachael Slate is a sweet PNR romance. Lady Eione is a Lapith Princess, Lord Agruis is a centaur Prince and the two races do not get along. While hunting Eione shoots Agruis with her bow and arrow. Shocked to discover she has injured a centaur, she quickly decides she must hide and help save him from execution. This begins our story of this forbidden love. This was a very good book and I recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

An enchanting tale full of adventure, discord and mythical creatures. The love story is woven amidst a intricate plot line that will ensue the readers full attention until the last word. The romance is both heartwarming and spicy and the characters are interesting and lovable.A wholehearted recommendation for any reader who wants a whole new experience from the PNR genre.I received a free copy and voluntarily reviewed.

Despite the fact that I hadn't read the books prior to this one in the series, I truly enjoyed this book. It shows that love can overcome obstacles despite how deadly the obstacle can be. The reader will not be confused but I could see where reading the others could make this book more enjoyable. I plan to go back and read the rest of the series.

I got this novella free for signing up for the authors newsletter. This is the age old battle of centaurs against humans, caused by the gods fighting. It's a well put together novella with violence, sex, and the desire for peace.

Short book of 105 pages that can be read at one sitting , I enjoyed this book and will have looked into getting the rest of the series which I just did. I am going to enjoy reading these books together.

Great story with strong characters. I liked how devoted Agrius was right from the start and Eione was kick-butt awesome! Think this is my first centaur book 😊

Eione is trapped, her family who rule the land do not look after their townsfolk, so Eione takes it on herself to hunt and feed them. One morning as she goes to finish off the deer she hit, she is surprised to find a centaur there instead. Agrius is instantly drawn to Eione's strengths. He believes her to be his mate, but is determined to do right by her, including blessings from their opposing families. When she is promised in marriage to another she begs him to help her escape. As they flee ft [...]

Could this bonding be true? 5 GOLD ARROWSThe Fates have brought us together. The gods have passed favor over us. What a CENTAURRIFIC story!! I ABSO-SHIFTING-LUTELY love, Love, LOVE it! I adored Agrius right from the start, while Eione had me intrigued & curious to see what she would do or say next! She certainly is a feisty one! And the lake scene?? WHEW! Obviously there wasn't any fish around because they would have all been steamed or boiled! In true Rachael fashion, she had me intrigued, [...]

Every tale I read by this author I always say, at that particular time, "That's the best one". I really should add "so far" to that sentence. She gets me every single time.I so enjoyed this story of Eione and Agrius. It has everything I have come to expect from Rachael Slate - action, adventure, heartstring-tugging love, crackingly well written, humour, a strong leading lady and a male who can handle her in all senses (in this case, the most personable Centaur you've ever met), and oh, such pass [...]

An excellent read! The third book in this series is a suspenseful yet passionate tale of Agruis and Eione. On the verge of a war between the gods, Agruis must save and claim his mate before the Lyssa drives him mad. Eione must leave the shackles of her home life and the restrictions placed on her to be truly free. Will she follow her heart? This story will leave you craving more. A truly excellent and inspiring tale of the gods and their mechanizations.

I really enjoyed this story. The story quickly grabbed my attention and kept me turning the pages I enjoyed the characters and the story being told. The author has done an wonderful job of blending mythology and romance. I look forward to reading more in the series. i received a copy of this manuscript from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Another book in the Halcyon series. Wicked Agrius finds his way into Eione's lands and heart. "Two souls born to separate races and destined to become one." Enjoy! This book has been provided by the author with no expectations and that in no way influences my review.
