Elemental Lovers Book One
Across the centuries, the Nikari, a race of vicious elemental mages, have built an empire, bringing an entire continent to its knees. The course of history seems set... until one innocent Andari mage changes everything and claims a greater prize—the heart of the Nikari emperor.
Behnivyr ‘Ivy’ Erethe knows his duty is to wed another Andari Pure-Blood. Craving one moment of freedom before his loveless bonding, he escapes his father’s suffocating protection and goes to a masquerade ball, only to unexpectedly meet a mysterious Nikari named Kris. Kris makes Ivy ache with a need he barely dares to acknowledge. One kiss, one dance—and Ivy’s life changes forever. Unbeknownst to Ivy, Kris is actually Kristelien Fezenda, the Nikari emperor. Forced to make a difficult choice, Ivy picks love over duty and becomes Kris’s concubine.
Poorly prepared for the whirlwind of emotion Ivy summons inside him, Kris now faces the hardest battle of his life. In a ruthless world where all weakness is exploited, where allies become enemies in the blink of an eye, where love can mean death, he will have to defeat more than his own personal demons to breach the rift between him and Ivy.

Enjoyed this book, and eager for book two in this series. Kris and Ivy have a somewhat predictable romance, but there are sufficient interesting, unexpected twists and turns to keep it from being boring. The world-building moves along, and it's very easy to see the characters and the places they inhabit. I think I want my own nightwolf, of course. If you like fantasy and M/M, this book is for you.Product details

Beyond the Rift Elemental Lovers Book 1 edition by Alana Ankh Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Ivy is Andari royalty, a prince who has led a sheltered life and is being basically pawned off to a Lord for the status the union will bring. Longing for just a taste of freedom before he is shackled to a loveless union, he sneaks out one night and attends a local fair where he meets a Nikari that stirs something inside Ivy he is required to keep bound until he is bonded. Of course his father’s come looking for him, but not before Ivy has his first dance, his first kiss.
Kris is ill prepared for the feelings Ivy stirs in him. As the Nikari emperor it would not be in his best interest to bond with an Andari, but don’t we always want what we can’t have? The Nikari emperor can have whatever, and whomever he pleases though. Kris sets an elaborate stage disguised as a masquerade ball, inviting Ivy and his father’s of course, all in an effort to get the man that has already captured his heart, into his bed.
Against all odds and almost everyones wishes, Ivy becomes Kris’s concubine, and eventually his bound concubine, yes there is a difference. But the relationship is not without its difficulties. Ivy is Andari for starters, and this does not make the Nikari people happy at all, especially Kris’s cousin slash brother (can’t even get into that, you’ll have to read the book) and uncle. And the same can be said for Ivy’s people where the Nikari emperor is concerned. But the attraction, the connection and the love that Ivy and Kris share is palpable and real and they are determined to make a life together.
I absolutely loved the elemental magic and the rifts between worlds that the Nikari and their Nightwolves use to travel and fight. There are words and languages used in the story that are unique to this story, but the Author starts the book out with a glossary of terms and an explanation of this world she has created so you would be hard pressed not to understand what is going on or what is being said. Ivy starts out as a sheltered, naïve and innocent young man that wants nothing more than to be loved and appreciated. And he finds that love and appreciation in the last place anyone would have thought, the arms of the enemy. Kris wants someone to see him, the man that he is and the man that he wants to be, and Ivy truly sees him. It was beautiful watching them grow as individuals and as a couple throughout the book.
Kris’s beloved Nighwolfe, Attcha, almost stole the book. Overbearing and fiercely loyal, the nightwolves are companions to the Nikari and watch over them, travel the Rift with them. Attcha is immediately drawn to Ivy and just as protective of him as he is of Kris. It’s very much like a spirit animal sort of relationship, which blends perfectly with the root of this story, this world being based in magic.
I think this story will appeal to many readers, it is rich with content and unexpected plot twists. The romance is passionate and electric, while being innocent and tender when needed. The storyline and the world Ankh has written here are very original as well, fresh and enticing. Full of magic, danger, suspense, romance and an underlying threat, a battle for Nikari that is just beginning. I’m very excited to see where the next book, Fractured Souls, takes these characters and their peoples.
* I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review through http//mmgoodbookreviews.wordpress.com *
Fantasy is not my usual genre. The book read smoothly. The characters were well developed. I found the storyline a little contrived, not a fatal flaw for the erotica genre. I look forward to reading other books by this author.
This was a wonderful read. With a twisting plot and characters who draw you right in. Fantasy, mystery and romance rolling together beautifully.
I rarely write reviews, but this time I have to say something.
Pros The book is written well. The characterizations were good and I like the plot.
Cons Firstly, PLEASE STOP WITH THE INSTALOVE! There is no reason for a character to go from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds. Let the love blossom, so readers can enjoy a realistic tale for a change. No need to rush.
Next, You could definitely change all the pronouns for the MC Ivy from he and him she and her, and the story wouldn't change.
Why? because Alana, (the writer) basically wrote a straight romance. Ivy is a girl, and the way he's treated is feminine. (Not as a effeminate man, but a full out woman). He's regarded as lovely with jewels in his hair. At one point he tells the Emperor's mother he "doesn't spread his legs for just anyone."
The majority of M/M novels are written by women and that's great, but come one; if you want a straight romance then write it that way. Don't take the same straight relationship dynamics and switch out the woman for a man. It's not authentic.
My opinion is that these two cons greatly kept this book from being fantastic. Right now I'll label Beyond the Rift as "cliche."
I have read hundreds of books and it is always refreshing to read a well written, well thought out fantasy I simply loved the characters Kris and Ivy...and oh yeah the night wolves. I am looking forward to the next book(s) in the Elemental Lovers series.
This was an interesting and enjoyable read...Ivy was just so caring and loving ... I was a little confused on the plot because it was so many players...but the night wolves stole the show.. what interesting creatures...the world the author created was just wonderful... I look forward to reading the next book...
I loved this story from start to finish. Alana Ankh has created a whole new world that is filled with magic and is very compelling. When Ivy and Kris meet they are not supposed to have a connection to each other because they come from different races and have a different set of cultural norms however despite these superficial differences they can't stop thinking about each other. When Kris devises a way to get Ivy with him again it works and Ivy becomes Kris's concubine; flouting the wishes of his parents and breaking a betrothal. Ivy and Kris have a kind of whirlwind romance that has political repercussions for Kris. This story has love at first sight, fights both physical and verbal, societal pressure, and two men that fight through all of that nonsense to make a real life together.
Enjoyed this book, and eager for book two in this series. Kris and Ivy have a somewhat predictable romance, but there are sufficient interesting, unexpected twists and turns to keep it from being boring. The world-building moves along, and it's very easy to see the characters and the places they inhabit. I think I want my own nightwolf, of course. If you like fantasy and M/M, this book is for you.
