Lion Mistress Series by R.A. Steffan

Favian just wants a quiet life in the temple, serving the gods and, if he's lucky, finding the kind of companionship that society wanted to deny him, as a man who loved other men. He never asked to be stalked by a scruffy, itinerant lion-shifter who seems intent on driving him to madness by being so... so... infuriating. But when his young sister goes missing from their village in the middle of the night, Favian will discover Ithric's true colors, and very possibly, his own... moreFavian just wants a quiet life in the temple, serving the gods and, if he's lucky, finding the kind of companionship that society wanted to deny him, as a man who loved other men.

But when his young sister goes missing from their village in the middle of the night, Favian will discover Ithric's true colors, and very possibly, his own. Too bad the pair of them can't seem to have a simple conversation without it turning into a pitched battle. The Lion Mistress: Book 0 is a short series prequel. It contains graphic M/M sex, but does NOT contain a HEA, or even a HFN. For that, you'll need to read The Lion Mistress: Book 1 (available Nov. 30th), in which our heroes finally get themselves sorted out with the help of some much-needed outside assistance. Available only through the author's website: http://www.lionmistress.com/. less

The sex is not particularly vanilla, and some of it is between two men who love each other. If any of these three facts made you go, “Eww,” then you probably wouldn't enjoy this book. less

It clocks in at over 300,000 words, and the ending is HEA.A special note for reverse harem lovers: I had never heard the term "reverse harem" when I wrote this series. It was always conceived as a poly romance story, just like The Horse Mistress. That said, it features one amazing woman who ends up with three adoring men at the end, and she is the glue that holds the four of them together.The pace is medium burn, and the books contain explicit sex with strong LGBT content. If you dislike M/M, you’ll dislike this series. less
