Blurb: Tallis Hynes knows he is different, but a dragon?

After being kidnapped from his apartment during the night and locked in a cell with two strangers claiming to be his lost brothers, he is mercilessly exposed to secrets that had been withheld all his life. Unfortunately, their enemies want the power they possess, and won’t stop until they get it, at any cost.

Zhett Rhiodan, chaos dragon by birth and fierce warrior of the Khoronian race, is on a mission to find the four lost Hynesin heirs and return them to the king of Khorone. Like everything in his life, his mission is complicated when he locates three of the four brothers and learns Tallis is his mate.

When the threat to the heirs makes an appearance, the entire mission is at risk for failure. Can Zhett keep his mate safe when all hell breaks loose? Or will the Khoronian people fall into the hands of evil?

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

Tallis wakes up in the middle of his kidnapping. He tries to fight them off when they inject him with something that knocks him out. When he wakes again up two men that look similar to him start telling about his past and that he is truly a dragon. Finally rescue happens and the man who whisks him away turns out to be his mate, Zhett.

Zhett has been sent by the ruler of his people to locate the lost heirs to the thorn. When he find them on Earth he also learns the youngest heir is his mate.

The attraction and pull are intense between the two men right from the start. And it never lets up. Even as Zhett teaches Tallis what he needs to know about being a dragon shifter they keep distracting each other with their need. As this is all going on the enemies who hunt the heirs are still on the loose, Tallis’ brother are still trying to get him back, and few other little mishaps along the way.

This book was just plain fun to read. It was well written and fast paced. The action never stops or lags. Whether it was the hot and steamy sex scenes, or the action scenes, or anything else, everything just kept moving along steadily. I loved Tallis. He was just so damn funny and sexy. Zhett was everything one would want in a big and bad warrior.

Together the two made a kickass team. And I loved the little bomb dropped at the end.

I look forward to reading more in this series. It looks like it will be very entertaining.
