The Enchanted Flute

Length
Naughty Nibble
When a beautiful enchantress awakens from her slumber to soul-stirring music, she reveals herself to the gifted, gorgeous flutist playing nearby. Lanai is at once attracted to Arye and moved by his melodies. After a sizzling night of sex, the enchantress realizes she’s fallen in love for the first time.

Lanai offers her love to the Arye, a man that has never loved anything more than his flute.  Although, the enchantress could use magic to win his heart, she wants him to love her on his own. Heartbroken and bitter, she casts a powerful spell over the flutist instrument that causes listeners to act out whatever emotion Ayre is feeling at the moment and disappears.

Unable to control his thoughts and fearful of harming his adoring audience, Ayre now only plays his enchanted flute when he is alone.  Angry and determined, he spends his time searching for Lanai.  Years go by and Ayre begins to give up hope that he will ever find the woman that consumes his thoughts and fuels his lustful desires.  When he finally stumbles across the enchantress, Ayre is torn between fury and desire…or is it love?

The Enchanted Flute Review
by Book Fairy
3.5/5 Whips in the Backseat
 
Lanai and Ayre's souls united for one night of love that leaves them both tortured and angry for a long time to come in The Enchanted Flute.
 
The story takes place in some other time and in some other place that we get very few details about. The beauty of the lake where Lanai and Ayre first meet is briefly described, but the intense love scene that followed made up for the lack of lake description.  
 
I liked that Ayre gave up playing his flute, which was supposed to be the one thing that he loved above anyone or anything to protect the people who were directly affected by the emotion he was feeling when he played. I thought Lanai could have used a little more back bone, she gave up kinda easy on the man that was supposed to have been the first man she ever loved, but I liked that she got even by cursing his beloved flute. You go girl!
 
I felt that the story was a little rushed and lacked some detail, but since it is a very short book its understandable. The Enchanted Flute would be great for an afternoon quickie.  It had a feel good ending and a very hot sexy love scene. I give it a 3.5

4/5 Whips by Terry Kate

And I will tell you why - IT WAS TOO SHORT!  Adrianne Brennan builds this fabulous and captivating world and then only gives us 60 pages of it!  I kid you not, at least 10 times I looked up to compare the page I was on to the 60 page count down and was so sad about how close I was coming to the end.  I loved the two main characters and wanted more then just the tease and tidbits of their past together.  This is a hot M/M and just a fabulous futuristic story.  

There is such a complex society within the book that often I felt I was speeding past it with no way to slow the train down.  I realize that having a complete story in such a limited page count is no easy feat and this was one of the most successful I have ever read.

Adrianne Brennan is a truly impressive author who I hope and pray will go back to this story and make it 3 to 4 times longer.  Please ma'am I want some more!   This is a worthwhile read even if it left me ready to go a little Misery on the author.  I am not often a fan of futuristic and this is amongst my favorites I have read.
