CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE! Queen Temair and her consorts have won the first battle but pockets of resistance still are around. Fyre Lord Miach and Rayne Lord Dathan go to the Fyre Lands to investigate the claims of abuse against men in a village. The sexual tension that simmers between them explodes and the men find a passion that will transform them in ways neither will expect.

I love this series and was thrilled to see a short story featuring the hot Fyre Lord Miach and the cool Rayne Lord Rathan. The author does a marvelous job creating a story that showcases how Miach finally admits that he needs Dathan just as much as he needs his Queen Temair. The simmering sexual tension between these two had me squirming in my seat, rooting for them to get naked and just do it. All this tension was going to make me combust while reading THE JOURNEY. The writing was tight, the action was fast paced and the main characters were well rounded. I really do not want to give away too much as it was a short sixty-plus page story.

The story centers on Fyre Lord Miach and Rayne Lord Dathan as they travel to the Fyre lands to investigate an abuse charge against the men there. While on their way home, Miach finally admits to himself he needs and wants Dathan and the passion that simmers between them explodes as he finally gives in and finds that loving Dathan is so much more than he thought. These two characters are pure alpha male hotness. I love the dynamics of Temair and her consorts and the relationships that build between the men. Dathan has wanted Miach since the first time he met him and Miach struggled with his feelings for the Rayne Lord. The struggle that Miach felt was one I enjoyed as this strong alpha male tried to reconcile his feelings for Dathan and for Temair. The author gets right into the heart of Miach’s dilemma and delivers a hot story that will satisfy the reader’s desire to see if they finally get together.

If you haven’t read the series, The Queens of Mareb, I highly suggest you get right to it. I do suggest you read them in order (TEMAIR'S FYRE, TEMAIR'S RAYNE, TEMAIR'S AIRE and TEMAIR'S EARTH) first to understand fully the relationship Miach and Dathan formed. THE QUEENS OF MAREB: THE JOURNEY is a wonderful short story that will leave you breathless and eager for more stories centered on Queen Temair and her hunky consorts. I am really hoping the author revisits this wonderful world in the future. I just can to get enough of Temair and her consorts.

This is an objective review and is not an endorsement of this book.
