SUNSINGER by Robyn Bachar is book three in the Cy'ren
Rising
trilogy. It's an erotic sci fi romance, but I feel like
it
failed at all three genres. I enjoyed the sci fi part of
the book the best. For a Samhain-published book, the sex
was tamer than I expected, and also fewer sex scenes than
I
anticipated. There is M/F, M/M, and M/F/M action in this
story.
Lord Degalen Fairren is the sole survivor of the Sunsinger
massacre. A rival house is trying to take over all the
other houses including Galen's, and Galen is forced to
make
an alliance with House Morningstar. He offers to mate
with
Lady Andelynn Harrow, one of House Morningstar's daughters
who had no expectations of marrying due to her terrible
secret. Virginal Galen has his own secret of why he has
not mated yet. Galen and Andee end up pulling a third
into
their relationship- Malcom, a slave who is an IT guru, who
accesses computers to help their in their fight against
the
evil rival house trying to take over using a deadly
bioweapon.
The romance between the three felt underdeveloped and
rushed. I couldn't buy into the love so quickly professed
between any of them. While it wasn't insta-love (which I
positively despise), their tumble into seemed far too
rapid
and without much basis. Their love was also told to me
rather than shown by character behavior, so it felt
artificial.
Conflict resolution between characters was too easy and
felt too pat. I did some have difficulty following
portions of the story, presumably because significant
world
building had gone on in books one and two. SUNSINGER can
be
read as a standalone, but I think reading the books in
order would probably explain some of the questions I had
that were not answered.
Her desire unites them. Her secret could destroy them all.
Cy’ren Rising, Book 3
The lord.
The sole survivor of the Sunsinger massacre, Lord Degalen
Fairren spends his days reading tales of the family he
never
knew. When a rival house threatens to enslave Cyprena,
Galen
is forced to pull his nose out of his books and enter into
an alliance with House Morningstar, and a dangerous
mission
to save his world.
The assassin.
Lady Andelynn Harrow isn’t House Morningstar’s eldest or
prettiest daughter, but she is the deadliest. After her
father’s murder, Andee must defend her new house and
mate—the shy, reluctant Galen—but every battle risks
revealing her terrible secret.
The slave.
Malcolm gets his first taste of freedom when the Cy’ren
recruit him to locate the cure to a deadly virus—and feels
the burn of desire for Galen, the lord he can never have,
and for Andee, who awakens memories of a long-lost first
love.
The danger they face fuels the heat between them, but with
Cyprena’s fate hanging in the balance, the race to find
the
cure could come with devastating costs.
Warning: Contains a blushing, virgin lord, a sexy geek,
and
an empathic assassin who always brings lube on a mission.
