Blurb: Two men. One wants to be whole again. One redefines the meaning of being whole.
Upon learning from his son that his chieftain plans to force his daughter to wed a stranger, Achaius McCord flees with his family. In order to escape, he spends hours clinging to a dragon’s neck, aggravating his weakened thigh muscles. He spends the first few days in his new home flat on his back, and when he finally regains his feet, he’s constantly asked if he needs help…with everything.
All Achaius wants is for everyone to stop coddling him. While he knows he’s no longer in his prime, he’s not an invalid. Then, he learns the true reason everyone is being so nice. He is what the dragons call an asda, a human capable of bonding with a dragon, affording them status and companionship. Having lived as a cripple for nearly a decade, Achaius knows he’s looked down on and pitied by his fellowmen.
Why would anyone want him as their companion?

Review: Each book in the Highland Dragons collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.
Achaius is Ross’s father and an asda. He is an old man who had a life time of growing up crippled. He comes off as a sore and a bit cranky to all. When they came to live with Ross and the dragons he had not handled flying and walking the countryside very well. It had made his leg stiff. Then all the dragons keep asking him if he needed help. Turns out they were courting him. However there is one dragon who has his interest peaked and doesn’t treat him like he is half a man.
Curzon wants Achaius but he doesn’t think that he would be interested in a half-breed. Things are about to get real interesting.
The thing with this series is that the ending always leaves you hanging a bit. You know that the Curzon and Achaius want each other but you never hear what happens next. However for me it doesn’t take away from the story at all. I have such a blast reading Charlie’s stories. They are so damn entertaining.
The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives. I had a blast reading this story. This story is perfect for when you are trying to take a break. There is a bit of a serious tone to them, but there is a lot of humor in them that I love. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book.
