Love Bites More by Tl Clark

This is definitely one of my top 5 favorite books of the year so far! I did read this as a standalone as my first book by this author, and I feel like I followed along just fine because there is plenty of background given. I was so blown away by this book though, I am going back to pick up all the previous books related to this one and probably a few more because this author is AMAZING. The story flows flawlessly, the details are provided with such art that it paints a beautifully vivid picture, and you’re instantly transported to a completely different world. Do yourself a favor and pick up this magnificently spicy, fantasy love adventure, you won’t regret it!

This is part of the Darkness & Light Duology and the Love Bites series. I’ve not read any of the previous books but feel this is okay to read as a standalone as key information was given and the central story appeared unique to these characters. 

If you are not into books which feature more than two people in a relationship, this is not the book for you.  

I enjoyed the world which was built around the characters, it was easy to fall into alongside the characters. The characters themselves are well-constructed, the mannerisms matching the personalities and actions. They’re strong characters with possessive streaks in them and the added element of forbidden love heightens the chemistry between them. 

I admit I was a little apprehensive prior to reading as sometimes the multi-way love dynamic can fall a bit flat, but it worked well here and you can’t help but root for their happiness.

Pryderi, Elan and Arwyn have known each other their whole lives, they have grown up together and become Watchers together and keep their clan safe together, they also made an oath in their youth which at the time seemed the right thing to do, but as they have grown up, their feelings towards each other are no longer the same. Pryderi has found his soul mate and after coming back from his honeymoon, the three find that things aren’t the same between them, but they try and put that right by having a guys night in, complete with the illicit food, drink and music they have to keep hidden away, thanks to the clan not appreciating it. 

 

Although they are both happy for Pryderi, Elan and Arwyn are struggling with their feelings for each other, they feel things which they shouldn’t and know it, but still they can’t bring themselves to do anything about it and risk hurting the other or their friendship, it is what they value above all else, but that is becoming harder to maintain and it is causing both of them to become antsy and withdrawn, this leads their friends to worry about them. 

 

Meanwhile, Pryderi’s mate has travelled to another clan and has brought someone back with her, a new male from a widely different life and when he is introduced to theirs, it is a bit of a culture shock to say the least, not to mention that he has been used to hiding himself away in more ways than one. Elan is chosen to show him the ropes and slowly help him integrate into clan life, but neither can deny that they are attracted to the other and Arwyn is feeling a little left out, so he decides to spend some time with the exotic new male and again, the two cannot deny their attraction to each other and this complicates things. 

 

Will Elan, Arwyn and this new spicy male finally bring down the barriers and allow them to experience the things they long for the most, or will those barriers break down and destroy the lives they have built for themselves forever? This is a fantasy romance with foul language and spicy content throughout which will leave you breathless as the thoughts and feelings whirling around these Elinefae and their way of life and leave you wanting to find out what happens next.

 I found this to be a book full of adventure, magic, fantasy, steaminess and some elinaefae fun. The characters are complex and complicated. They are well-written. This is a male triad that is trying to form itself into a new relationship. The story line is intriguing. It pulled me in from the beginning with its broody mood and everyone trying to figure Elin out. It’s a well-written stand-alone that is part of the elinfae duology series.

It has been a bit since I have read previous books in this world. This is a nice story that incorporates characters from the previous stories but could also be read as a stand alone. I had met the main characters of this story previously but knew little about them. I kind of wish there was more to their individual stories other than watching, eating and time spent in the Den of Sin. There really wasn’t too much else until the third came Into play. I was slightly disappointed as I was expecting another great story in this world filled different characters. I did not feel much of a connection between the two Watchers but I did with their respective partner. 

Overall This did not hold up to what I was expecting. It is an okay story without a lot of angst or action and not my favorite of the series. It was nice seeing the old characters and their familiars again.

This book is a part of the Darkness & Light Duology, but it can absolutely be read as a stand alone book. The characters are very well defined and the author makes sure to include information for the readers to assure they can follow along with the story without having read other books. She isn't limited in her use of "cuss words" which, lets face it, sometimes just make the story that much more relatable. Her world building is out of this world. I want to get lost here and become one with the story. I highly recommend this story.

I am just in seventh heaven as this is one of my most favorite authors. I love paranormal romances and this did not disappoint. I really like the way the author is able to build a world and bring the characters to life. I really felt as though I was right in the middle of the action. There was also a great balance of drama and adventure mixed in with the romance. As I have said before this is one of  my most favorite genres. I really like how there was a sort of forbidden love with a wonderous outcome. I like how everything just really fell into place and the chemistry between the characters really just added to the story. I look forward to reading much more from this author in the future.

 An interesting story about the strength of love. Friends Elan and Arwyn soon find that friendship may just be the beginning of what they want. When Hassan enters their world things begin to change. Emotions play a big role in this book and you are taken on a ride full of ups and downs. There is no stopping fate and   these three men learn to   follow their hearts. It was nice to see the way that their relationship grows and deepens. Each man has a distinct personality and together they are something that no one can tear apart.   Theirs is a fast-paced story full of a good mix of emotion and action.

This is a fantastic tale! I have read love stories involving three people and it can be difficult to find a balance. This book handles the different emotions and tensions very well! Rather than cause drama for drama’s sake, the emotions of these characters are raw, genuine, and they all have fantastic depth. I personally love the theme of fated mates and this author has such a unique take on it! Absolutely wonderful read!

Fated mates 

The third book in the Darkness & Light Duology series has suspense, action, drama, steam, magic and adventure. The author recaps certain specifics such as who the ElineFae are, which would allow this book to be read as a stand-alone. With a male triad relationship this is slightly different to the first two books but just as engaging. The imagery is really well done and the author creates a very impressive world. Recommend.
