Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Dark Realms. Dark Anti heroes. Dark Fantasies.

Kyra was almost 20 when she read her first romance. From Norsemen to Regency and Romcom to Dubcon, tales of love and adventure filled a void in her she didn’t know existed.

She’s always been a writer in her head but didn't actually do it for a very long time. Its only recently that she’s started to tell stories in the genres she loves most – which at the moment are very ‘why choose’!!

She grew up in South New Jersey and now lives with her husband and two kids near London in the UK.

Join us in the Portal to the Dark Realm, Kyra's private Facebook readers' group, because she is literally ALWAYS online unless she's asleep - much to her husband's annoyance! And she loves interacting with people on social media.

She's also on Instagram, Goodreads, Twitter and trying TikTok so follow for all the up-to-date info on release dates, exclusive content and other general awesomeness from the Dark Brothers' world - where the road to happily ever after might be rough, but its well worth the journey!!

    I found myself binge reading this lol! Kyra Alessy is truly an addictive author to read. If you like Reverse Harems with a damsel-to-fighter FMC with a well built world, and a good plot with spice then look no further!

    The whole storyline was just brilliant. I’m usually good at guessing what’s going to happen in books but this one had me thrown off a lot and not guess correctly. I absolutely love it when that happens! It makes the book all that much sweeter.

    You meet Lara who is a timid slave girl who has had the worst of luck in life, until she meets the two Brothers who happen by her master’s stable that she works in. The different personalities between them was great. One cocky and smiley and the other being dark and forlorn.

    They end up taking her from her situation and can’t seem to have enough of her. Come to find out that there is a THIRD Brother in that unit. You thought Viktor was the dark and forlorn one? Nope! Kane was the darkest but I have always loved characters like that.

    The Brothers feel a closeness to Lana and later in the book you realize why. Talk about shocker! I wasn’t expecting that. I think this author did an amazing job pulling things together and making this story addicting and wanting more.

    The only reason I gave it 4 stars was for the fact that I felt like some details could have been added. I’m a lover of details. I want some moments drawn out. Especially love scenes and how it makes them all feel or perhaps what they are thinking about it. It could just be that that’s the author’s writing style and this was the first book of theirs I’ve read that I’m not used to it.

    Either way, this book was great and I would recommend anyone and everyone to read it!

    *received free copy for honest review.

    I honestly have mixed feelings. Seggs (avoiding this refusing to post) should always be consensual, even if it's dubious consent. The scene where they bond with each other was not consensual no matter that Lana enjoyed the pleasure. Sure, the relationship works out but I hated that scene. The way Kane treats her is also disgusting. I don't care if a person has past trauma - making it to adulthood most of us do. Treating people like trash just makes that person exactly as bad as the people who hurt them. The relationship does improve. I'm a bit sad at how Lana was healed. Here's hoping the girl in the tower is the mfc of the next book.

    Personally, I love the whole Dark Brothers universe. This story introduces another trio who ultimately, end up meeting their 4th, an unusual circumstance.

    Lana was sold as a slave by her stepfather after her mother died. She managed to exist until she's almost raped by her owner's son and saved by two Dark Brothers. They are convinced of her value, but convincing their third takes some doing.

    The interesting back story is that all three brothers are connected by an evil man and their own dark histories. Eventually, though, even Lana draws the notice and interest of the evil and powerful man. To explain what happens would be to give far too much away, however.

    The story is well-paced, the characters interesting, and the Dark Brothers in particular, are hot and spicy. If sexy, dark romance is not your thing, don't read. There is nothing more irritating than to read a review by someone who is offended by exactly what kind of story it is. As for me, I give it 5 stars for not only being well-written, but sexy and spicy as all get out!

    Exciting, sexy, thrilling and entertaining second book in Lana's story. There is romance, adventure, and danger. The characters are distinct and dynamic. This has an amazing storyline that is very gripping.

    Reviewed in Australia on May 30, 2022

    Lana is almost thankful when a pair of men save her from the unwanted attention of her master’s son. Almost. She knows they are ruthless mercenaries—stone-cold killers who fight under the banner of the Dark Army—and now they own her. What could the ruffian’s possibly want with her? Nothing good, she is certain, especially if their leering gazes are anything to go by. Meeting Kane—the leader of this unit of brothers-in-arms—send chills down her spine. He is hard and cruel. Yet over time she warms to her new masters, as they do to her, giving rise to passions she never could have dreamed of.

    Alessy has written another superb tale in the Dark Brothers series. Her fantasy world is like something out of the dark ages with monstrous villains, virtuous maidens, and magic woven through a rich tapestry. This book can be read standalone, but I suggest starting with the first one to gain a better sense of the setting. I fell in love with Lana’s three guys early on. They may be rough around the edges, but they have hearts of gold that melt for their girl. They are loyal to each other and fiercely protective of Lana—not that she needs it. With hidden powers of her own, she is no damsel in distress by any means.

    If you enjoyed Sold to Serve, I highly recommend giving this second book a go. If you haven’t started this series yet, and fantasy reverse harem is your jam, then what are you waiting for? I promise you won’t be disappointed.

    This is a medieval ‘why choose’ romp, with 3 men for the heroine, which is very high in spice. It has some interesting world building that builds on the first book, although you don’t have to have read it. HEA at the end.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2021

    I've finally found another author aside from Debbie Cassidy that can write smutty reverse harem without treating the plot part as if it's meant to be a running joke. Kyra Alessy writes well, heavy on the smut, with a good build up on the plot, though perhaps weaker on the world building. That's OK, though, because the fact that I can actually get invested in the plot makes up for it.

    I enjoyed the story here of the Lana and the three Brothers bound by goals of revenge. The foreshadowing is great, and the way that all the elements introduced eventually tie to each other is supremely satisfying.

    Will enjoy reading more from this author!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The story continues...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2022

    We first met Viktor, Kane, and Sorin towards the end of 'Sold to Serve', and this is their story.
    Lana, sold into slavery after the death of her mother, a wealthy freewoman, has been abused and mistreated often by the snivelling coward that is her master's son. When two travelling Dark Brothers decide to step in and purchase her for themselves, her life changes irrevocably. Sorin and Viktor, while occasionally hard and unyielding, very quickly become the ones Lana trusts and relies on the most. Kane, however, is an uncompromising PITA, and for most of the book you'll want to boot him up his rear end.
    Lana is not the only victim in this book, and it's one of the things I enjoy about Kyra Alessy's books. The women, while generally physically weaker, have an inner strength that helps to see them to the end. The men, although physically strong, have vulnerabilities that they eventually share with the FMC. These characters are flawed, but they also experience growth, which is what every reader hopes for in a book.
