Lust: A Dark Fantasy Paranormal Rejected Mates to Lovers Romance (Ryze Book 1) Kindle Edition

by N. Isabelle Blanco (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars 245 ratings
★★★★★ “There is passion and war. Destruction and devastation. Good gods and bad guys. I loved every second of it. I can not wait to dive into the next book and see what is going to happen next.”

------

In a world where an unrequited mating unleashes a lethal force that consumes its victims, Ismini's life hangs in the balance, trapped between the love she craves and the death that looms.

Abruptly taken from her normal existence on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Ismini Harrovnian is thrust into a reality where dimensions beyond her wildest dreams intertwine, and where gods reign with both power and anguish.

An ancient promise binds her fate—a promise made by Dyletri, the God of Lust, who lost the woman he loved eons ago. In his grief-fueled desperation, he agreed to sacrifice Ismini in the distant future.

As Ismini grapples with her new reality, she is confronted by a shocking revelation—she carries a mysterious illness that defies all explanation. But what she believes to be a rare ailment is something far more deadly. She is mated to none other than Dyletri himself, the very deity who plans to end her life to reunite with his lost love.

Dyletri, once resolute in his determination to fulfill his promise, begins to show signs of the same illness that grips Ismini. As the lines between captor and captive blur, they find themselves united by a bond that defies reason and challenges the very fabric of their worlds.

Can they overcome the barriers of their circumstances and find a way to thwart the impending sacrifice? Or will their burgeoning love lead them down a path of devastation?

This is a spicy, fated mates dark fantasy/ paranormal romance with a flawed anti-hero, a strong heroine, and is the first in a massive world-building series that features a complex cast of characters. This series explores mature themes that might not be for everyone, and every book gets darker than the last. Only suitable for readers 18+. Although this book ends in a cliffhanger, this couple's story is resolved, and each book in the series features a brand new couple.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic new world 🌍
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 September 2022

    Oooooh it has been too long since I have read a fantasy/paranormal romance that has really interested me so when I picked up Lust I really had my fingers crossed.  I has taken me what feels like forever to get back into the paranormal world but now that I have I am so super excited.  It is a steamy erotic romance, that will make you fall into a fantasy world of mystical fated mates.

    Lust is book 1 in the Ryze series.  The story centres around a group of Gods yes, your heard it right Gods otherwise known as Dirty talking sex on legs!

    Dyletri, the God of Lust has locked away his powers for close to 14,000 years.  A deal with the Fates to bring back his beloved requires a sacrifice.  An innocent. But what he could never expect is to discover how important this human who was so insignificant to him in one moment could actually turn out to be the key to his survival.

    Ismini, our heroine is resigned.  She has never had an easy life so sacrificing herself for a God to regain the woman he loves should be easy.  Except her feelings for this God make that anything but.  She has an inner core of strength and determination and will not be deterred from her path.

    They are both determined to fight what they are feeling.  Dyletri can hardly believe what he is feeling after being convinced he has loved another for so long.  Ismini will not let her feelings get in the way of what she has been told is her destiny.  These characters are so good together, their personalities mesh as well as their bodies (ooh la la!!).  But what was a real surprise were the side characters.  Ismini’s friends where a hoot and a half I loved the strength and love they showed for Ismini in her time of need, there was no leaving her side.  As for the other Gods, OMG I cannot wait to read their stories.  Everything single one seems to be very complex and deep, plus they all sound uber HOTT!!  Roll on the next book♥️📚

    4.0 out of 5 stars Complex plot and characters
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 September 2022
    This book is way outside my usual read and took me some time to get into to it. But then it proved to be an extremely hot read. The book surrounds mythical ancient gods and an event that happened 14000 years ago. Dyletri the god of lust lost the love of his life Dimithinia after she went on a murderous rampage killing virgins. The gods showed their anger by sending a huge tsunami, killing her and thousands of others. Dyletri is told he can get her back, but only if he sacrifices an innocent person who has not yet been born.

    Fast forward and Ismini knows that she was born to be sacrificed. Now Dyletri and Ismini are getting to know each other, in the sure knowledge that Dyletri must honour is promise to sacrifice her. It's clear that the chemistry between them is off the charts and Dyletri is doubts his ability to carry out the sacrifice. Things get more complicated when they both finally give in to what they feel and they "mate".

    This was defininatly a complex plot with complex characters which was difficult to keep track off and a lot of complicated terminology but overall I look forward to reading more.

    Ok so I’ve just finished book 4 and need to finally leave a review.
    Firstly wow…this series is fantastic. The plot and storytelling with all the characters and weaving of old myths and legends is amazing. The authors ability to link them all in is so clever. Her writing style is excellent.
    I honestly had to slow down my reading to absorb it all and at time re read paragraphs. The footnotes help with the old terms and wording. I seriously hope this series never ends for a while. So many characters and stories to tell, its so addictive. Definitely 5 stars 🌟 plus!!!!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2022
    This book was just...magnificent for me.

    To be honest I was excited to read it, since I read the blurb and couldn't wait enough to get my hands on it 😁!

    It had everything that I ever wanted - possessive males (looking like an actual Gods 😍), fated mates, love, sexy and erotic times and a lot more stuff a person can imagine.

    For me Diletry and Ismini were not only the perfect couple, they were also the perfect beginning for a beautiful series. I loved all the other gods that had cameo appearances within the story and to be honest...I can't wait for all of their stories to be revealed, all together with their mates.

    I hope that I will have the chance to read them very very soon 😎.

    What a thrilling exciting world Ms. Blanco has created.
    Gods, goddesses, creations and humans.
    Good and evil and who will ultimately win.
    Dyletri is the god of lust. Being that entails more than just instilling lust in his clients.
    One just client needs to get pregnant which her husband cannot do.
    Dyletri is called upon to do that for them and from here starts a freaking snowball from hell.
    Everything spirals out of control and Dyletri let’s his feelings override reality.
    He is a good man (god). Caring, kind and loyal to a fault.
    He’s also possessive, dominant and sexy as sin.
    Ismini is a strong lady. She has known her destiny since childhood.
    Accepted it not liking it but will sacrifice herself for the greater good.
    She sassy and feisty. Gives as good as she gets.
    Even knowing what fate has in store for her she still doesn’t rollover and just submit.
    Her and Dyletri’s chemistry is instant, chemistry not love, this is not an instalove romance.
    The lust they immediately have for one another is absolutely hot!
    Btw he doesn’t instigate this intense feelings just so you don’t think he manipulates her.
    Their passion is undeniable and intense.
    Both trying to fight it but to no avail which leads to some sexy sizzling scenes.
    I loved this couple along with all the secondary characters.
    Ismini’s best friends are amazing and made for some laugh at loud times.
    And all of Dyletri’s friends are intriguing and each has a story of their own.
    Just hopefully the author will write.
    I throughly enjoyed every minute of reading this book.
    And I’m absolutely looking forward to more from this completed universe and the characters in it.
    **4.5 stars**

    To know your fate and except it for what it is? What would you do ? That’s a hard question that ismini has had to live with and dealt with it .. or has she ? THis was a great paranormal read with great characters -gods ? What’s not to love.

    An amazing paranormal read, a very unique plot.
    Dyletry, the God of Fertility, made a vow after the death of his lover. He put aside his powers and made a promise to kill a new soul in exchange for the chance to let his lover live again.
    After waiting thousands of years, the time comes, a girl named Ismini is to the sacrifice. But Dyletry is confused, he feels a strong attraction and deep lust for her, also he’s now seen all her memories and her life.....Can he go ahead with his plan? Is that really what he wants?
    Ismini has always known her fate. She was to be sacrificed so a God could be reunited with his one true love again. The fates were set, to go against them would bring universal destruction. So Ismini excepted her lot.
    Until she meets the man who has haunted her dreams, she’s waited for him and now they’ve met, and can’t help feeling strongly attracted to him. Can there be more for them?
    The story was captivating and as it continued, enthralling. The characters were very well thought out and developed. Isimini was a heroine who had terrific strengths...taking her life for what it was, no sad sacks, or sulks, she tried to see the best out come of everything, and had plenty of grit.
    A real page turner, fast paced and highly entertaining. A great read!

    Diletry è il dio della lussuria, si è innamorato di Dimithina, un'umana uccisa durante la grande alluvione. Dopo 14.000 anni, può farla tornare in vita, uccidendo Ismini, una donna innocente. Durante il loro primo incontro, scatta una forte passione, che però entrambi cercano di negare, a causa del destino legato alle loro azioni. Una serie di eventi cambia totalmente quello in cui credevano e li porta più vicini a capire di essere inseparabili. Background fantasy originale, trama narrata bene tramite i punti di vista di vari personaggi. Ho dato solo quattro stelle, perché in alcuni punti la storia diventa un po' aggrovigliata a causa dell'inserimento di altri dei, ma nel complesso una piacevole lettura.
