Review: I have always loved reading a good paranormal romance especially when the main characters are men. There is just something about the different world they come from even if they are technically just living in the boonies away from the humans. I have not come across that many where it involved dragon shifters so when I come across them I am jumping for joy. This author is new to me and I was quite fascinated with the world they gave me.
Now Jason was born into a family that were total asshats. His sire is a judgmental prick who doesn’t like other types of shifters. His dam is a meek little twit that doesn’t stand up for her children. The only brother who is decent is Jacob. The others are total asses although Jared is slowly changing his tune. Jason knows he has a mate, but he has been running from him. He was told the only way to be was meek and follow all orders. However that was not the way he wanted. Michel has other ideas.
Michel has been searching for his mate for some time, only he had no idea why he couldn’t find him. That is until he walks into a diner and spots him. He has to find a way to get around Jason’s fears to help he realize that their mating was going to happen.
Now I realize that this author is new but there were some issues that should have been caught right off the bat. Sentences or words used that either didn’t make sense or were in the wrong spot. Also way too many POVs put into their story.
Jason definitely comes off weak and the fact that he ran from his mate for way to long, shows that he needs to be smacked upside the head a few times. Jason deserves to get his ass kicked by his mate that is for sure, but Michel is not that type of mate.
Other than those issues I had a lot of fun reading it and can’t wait to get the next book. It has a serious tone to it but there is a bit of humor that makes it even better. I also loved Michel’s supportive behavior and protective behavior with Jason. I do love a good mating.
I enjoyed reading this and would recommend it.
