Blurb: After a decade of living under the iron rule of a sorcerer, dragon shifter, Duncan Moore finally has his chance for freedom. With his former master dead, all Duncan has to do is steal the very thing that has been holding him captive all these years, his dragon’s eye. The stone holds his magic and his dragon self and without it, he can never go home again.
What should be an easy theft turns complicated when he finds that someone has beat him to the eye and he has no idea where it could be. To add to things he suddenly finds himself teamed up with the dead sorcerers’ son, Trent. For years Duncan has longed for Trent, but had never dared act on his desires. Then one night of passion between the men changes everything and Duncan realizes that he could lose something far more valuable than his dragon’s eye, he could lose Trent.
Will Duncan be able to save them both? Or will he have to make the ultimate sacrifice?

Review: The dragon element is always quite enough to draw me into reading a book. In this little story, we have dragons and sorcerers in their eternal fight for dominance.
Duncan has been captured and a slave to a powerful and cruel sorcerer; he’s been patiently waiting and silently hating the decade he’s been a prisoner to the sorcerer’s whims. Finally, his slave master dies and Duncan must take possession of his essence in order to be truly free and not fear another cruel master. Unfortunately, his Dragon’s Eye is not where it should be and in order to find it he must put faith and trust at the most unlikely person, his dead master’s son, Trent.
I liked this story, it was not bad at all, and the grounds in which the characters stood were quite solid. Their passion was lovely, even though the dominance showed came a bit at odds with how we first see Duncan at the beginning of the this tale. Honestly though I wanted, more and this story had all the premises for that. I was a bit disappointed that the dragon didn’t fight, I was a bit disappointed that there was no show of real power from the shifters and that the only shifting occurred when Duncan had to fly back home. Also if I dig deeper there were some loops and holes there when Trent had to fight his uncle, I mean if I was Adam, I wouldn’t have left the Dragon’s Eye behind since every Dragon’s Eye meant more power for the Sorcerer. And if you add in there the typos that ran throughout the text, then a bit of frustration might have hit me at one point or other, but as I said, I’m bias when it comes to dragon tales and while this was not the masterpiece or the intense read it could be I sill liked it and enjoyed the couple and their HEA.
If you’re like me, if you have a thing for lovely dragons and their quest for love, then you might enjoy this story as well. J
