I found the third book of this series to be very disappointing and forgettable. From the description of the book I was expecting this to be her steamiest one yet what with the two brothers and the piano tutor. You might go into this expecting some great menage a trois scenes, or at the very least two competing lovers. But Brooks doesn't go for this and instead falls back on her same exact formula. Instead of having an interesting rivalry between the brothers, Tychar and Trag come across as petulant and immature. They fight and bicker and for some unexplained reason Kyra chooses Tychar over Trag when the brothers are very similar in looks and personality. Overall the novel was flat and formulaic. I couldn't wait for the book to be over. Thankfully it wasn't that long.

I really liked the first two books in this series but Rogue is very dry and almost boring. The sex, of course, is spectacular.
This story revolves around a lizard queen (with scales and a tail) and her people on Darconia (a world very far from Earth and in the future). The lizards obviously live in a desert environment very like Egypt. The queen recruits a piano teacher from Earth to teach the princess to play. However, this isn't her main reason for brining a single female to Darconia.
The queen is a collector of exotic species and has many slaves. She has gotten it in her head to breed one of these species. You see, the queen is some kind of amphibian and her most desireable slaves are mammals. Therefore no offspring. The other dilemma is that the cat slaves must be excited in order to "grow" and the queen just doesn't do it for them so no sex with the cats for the queen. Hence the subterfuge of a piano teacher for her child.
It's an ok novel just not very exciting.
