Blurb:
He spent more than a thousand years imprisoned in hell…
Drake is an ancient dragon shifter, one of the most powerful beings in existence, but a millennium trapped in utter darkness has left him ill-equipped for modern society. If it wasn’t for Victoria, the sweet female brave enough to befriend him, he’d be lost. She’s smart and gorgeous and everything he never dared dream of during his years of agonizing loneliness. He may not have anything to offer her, but one thing he knows for sure: he’d die to keep her safe.
Only to fall into the heaven of her touch.
Victoria is a wolf shifter, healer of the Stavros pack. She’s seen a lot, but she’s never met anybody quite like Drake, the fiery, fascinating shifter who can blaze through the skies unseen by mere mortals. He’s lost, dangerous, and the last male she should fall in love with, but the more time she spends helping him navigate modern life, the deeper—and hotter—their connection becomes. She’s thrilled when they finally locate his family, but reuniting with his people plunges them both into unimaginable danger. It’s a race against the clock trying to figure out who wants them dead and who they can trust, especially when the threat is closer than they ever imagined.
My Review:
After being trapped for a millennium in utter darkness, Drake is ill equipped for modern society and only Victoria has kept him from being lost and he die to keep her safe from the betrayer that is determined to destroy his family in this thrilling paranormal romance.
Spine tingling excitement and danger keeps the adrenaline pumping in this fast paced and smooth flowing plot. The author brings the story to life with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and the characters are strong, compelling and bewitches the reader right from the beginning and ensures that the readers want to know more.
Drake and Victoria’s attraction to each other leaps off the pages with vibrant intensity and the reader can’t help but get caught up in their romance as they try to work through quite a few obstacles, the main one being Drake’s need to prove himself worthy enough for his female, to be able to provide for her and protect her. Drake also captures the heart and admiration of the reader being that he survived what had to be a horrendous existence and came out sane and that he has no memory of who he is or where he came from. Victoria is a strong wolf and a perfect mate for Drake – excuse me while I shed a few tears that he is off the market.
When Drake is finally reunited with his family, they are plunged into some unimaginable danger from another dragon clan, but that’s not all they have to watch out for because someone is determined to bring down Drake’s entire family and if they let a few demons loose… well that all for the better according to them. I feel in love with the Stavros pack in the first book and I must say that the author has introduced lots more fascinating characters that I can’t wait to get to know better.
