Blurb:  Tia Brooks left her home in Marcus Deleon’s wolf pack out of duty to her own people. As the last female dragon shape shifter, it falls on her to reestablish the species. Her escort, Loren Cole, is taking her to the dragons’ king: Bryn. Tia barely remembers Bryn at all from their time as drakelings, and she certainly never saw Loren before he showed up at Marcus’. Preservation of their kind means mating, which shouldn’t be a problem…except she doesn’t want to be a queen.

When a figure from Loren’s past attempts to quench all chances of their survival, Bryn and Loren chase the enemy into the depths of the earth, desperate to reach Tia before it’s too late

Review:  I haven’t read many stories with dragon shifters so I was pleasantly surprised with this find. I will start off by saying I got a little confused at first and it felt like part of another series, not a first book. So, I did a little research and found it is actually a spin-off of the Dark Reign series. After the first few chapters, it stands alone pretty well. Personally, I wish books that are spun from others series would say so in the front and have reading order and series numbers where they are easy to find.

This book is about Tia, the last female dragon shifter that has been in hiding and Bryn the king of the remaining dragon shifters and his consort and captain of the guards Loren. The story is good, but I found it a little confusing. I can’t say much about why I feel this way without giving spoilers. There was a little mystery but it came and went very fast. I wish it had unfolded much more slowly even if it made the book longer. 

I really loved all the characters. Each held their own personality well. I found the sex very hot. I will warn you that the shifters do shift during sex and have sex in shifted forms. I actually loved this. I found it different and hot.

 

If you’re looking for something different to read and like dragon shifters, mmf ménage, Kings, reluctant queens, and very hot sex with shifted shifters this is for you!
