If I understand correctly, then it might be that you want something along the lines below.
In[164]:=
y[x_] := y /. First[Solve[c - (y/(d - x*y^b))*x*y^(b - 1) == 1, y]]
In[166]:= Integrate[x*y[x], {x, 0, a},
Assumptions -> {a > 0, 1 > b > 0, c > 0, d > 0}]
During evaluation of In[166]:= Solve::ifun:Inverse functions are being used by Solve, so some solutions may not be found; use Reduce for complete solution information. >>
Out[166]= ConditionalExpression[(a^2*
b*((-1 + c)/a)^(1/b)*(d/c)^(1/b))/(-1 + 2*b), b > 1/2]
