Blurb: By the King’s Command… Daimyo Akihiro Shimada didn’t have the hatred for humans that many of his kind did. It was a known fact that humans were weak. Every dragon knew that. When the king commands him to take a human as a mate, Akihiro is instantly smitten with Isei but fully aware that he must treat his mate with gentle care, even if his gut instincts say otherwise.

Isei Hironaka is a second son. He has no chance of ever being anything more than he is until he is forced to impersonate his brother at the King’s coronation ceremony. When the new king orders him to mate with a dragon, Isei is positive his ruse will be discovered. Mating to strengthen the bond between clan and clutch is one thing.

Staying mated is an all together different story, especially when those around Akihiro and Isei believe dragons and humans have no business falling in love and they will do everything within their power to keep them apart.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: I loved this book. However, I was seriously pissed at Akihiro for the way he treated his mate as if he was a simple-minded human that needed to out in a room away from harm and not allowed out. He shouldn’t have listened to others trying to tell him what was best for his mate he should have known himself. I was glad he finally came to senses before he lost Isei for good.

I felt so sorry for Isei and how he was treated by different people in his new home. He should have told his mate about the different ideas he had instead of thinking he wasn’t good enough to speak his mind. Loved all the details throughout.

Intense and heart wrenching this story grabs hold from the beginning and doesn’t let go until the very end. The battle scenes were short and fierce. Very glad things worked out well in the end. Fantastic read.

Highly recommended.
