Blurb: Adam Rivers is still getting used to life as being the only human mated to a dragon in an enemy nest. His lover, dragon warrior Novik Grey, is always accommodating, even if there are others who want to see Adam gone.

After Novik rescues a friend of Adam’s, tension in the nest rises, and the humans are considering going to war against the dragons. This is enough to cause a lot of stress and anxiety throughout the dragons, and Adam doesn’t want to complain, even when a few people come a little too close, sound a little too threatening. Adam wants to take some of the load off of Novik’s shoulders by handling this himself, by proving that he doesn’t always have to rely on Novik to save him.

When the dragons get together and form a plot to get Adam out of the nest, without his or Novik’s permission, Adam might just be a little in over his head.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.

At the start of the book Adam and his friend Jason are waiting for the return of Novik and some other dragons who went to the village to rescue Athy. When they get back everyone is happy for a time. At least until it is learned that the villagers are getting riled up to attack the dragons.

Now both dragons and the human servants are treating Adam and his friends like they have the plague.
The relationship between Adam and Novik has continued to strengthen. However the story was not all about them. There are also looks into other characters like Jason and Kraigan, and Blue and Lighting. These lead me to hope that they will have their own stories in the series.

Although this book was not as enjoyable as the first for me, I think it was also a way of preparing for the rest of the series. It explores other characters and also seems to give a possible story arc of the issue with the human village and the difference of opinion the dragons have with each other. It also dropped a couple of little bombshells off that I really want to get more answers on.

It was fast paced and well written, and with enough steamy moments to keep me happy without being too much. New characters and situations were introduced and have pulled my attention. So overall, I will be looking forward to more in this series.
