My Review:
The characters in this story are great. I love how you really get an in depth look at their lives and what they face on a daily basis. Donovan really humanizes the shifters in this novella, making them even more approachable and understandable to us humans. They were great up until this point in the series, now they’re unforgettable. Tristan’s dragon is absolutely priceless now that we’re getting to know him on so many levels. He had me in stitches more than once. Also, the love between the characters shines through (even in the hot & racy bedroom scenes). That said, readers really do need to read this series in order so that they get to know the characters. Characters do continue to grow and become more complexly developed throughout the story but to fully understand the who’s who & what’s what you do need to read the entire series.
This novella was excitingly action packed and filled with all the explosive heat and chemistry that we’ve come to know and love from these dragonmen. It was a fantastic addition to the series and a must read for all those who enjoy dragons, or shifters in general.
