Synopsis

Once mated, these shifters will do anything to protect the women they love!An uninhibited woman to match his untamed soul. That would be this dragon's ideal wife. Dragon-shifter Lord Vladan is not like his noble brothers. Adopted into their family after a mining accident killed his parents, he is every bit as titled as his new brothers, and every bit as welcome into the fold. Yet he can't help but feel the pull of his commoner past. He loves his family, and will always do as duty demands, but a part of him still yearns to shift into dragon form and run free in the wild. It is a side he indulges every chance he gets. This is how he knows his bride will be the most wild of creatures, for he wants passion, not perfection.Surely the gods are mistaken when they bind him to the most refined, reserved, frustratingly perfect creature in the universe.
Polished, dignified and reserved in all things. That is a true noble. Lady Clara of the Redding, a living statue of perfection, has been raised a true Redde noblewoman. She has been taught to never show emotion, to never raise her voice, to touch as little as possible, and to never act wildly or rashly.According to her people's custom, the new generation cannot begin until the current one is settled. She is the last of her siblings without a husband and her pregnant sisters will remain in stasis until she's married.After Clara denies all suitable males on her home world, her parents are left with one choice--send her to a primitive place where several alien noblemen await mates. The men hardly appear picky about their choices, and her parents think it a perfect arrangement for a reluctant bride.

Goodreads review by Jane on November 19, 2015

This was ok, but it didn’t delight me. Light on plot. I think I would have liked more interesting relationship development. Clara is sent to a place where she will be matched with a husband. Vlad likes her from the start. He treats her nicely and she likes him back. The main conflict is that they are......more

Goodreads review by Laura on March 04, 2023

I picked this book up for an escape, and the author delivered. Apart from the deus-ex-machina-style ending, the story had a lot more going for it than similar novels. I recommend for anyone looking for a light read that subverts genre tropes. Comparing this book to other shifter romances, I would say......more

Goodreads review by Patricia on May 17, 2021

This is a truly, intriguing dragon shifter romance has a very interesting “opposite attractions” theme that really caught my attention & it is a splendid addition to the series. It can easily stand on its own even though there are some character crossovers, it does basically run concurrently with th......more

This author knows how to write and I get sucked in every single time. I know not to start one of these books before bed because I will not sleep, yet I make this mistake every time. I absolutely love these books! This is a must read! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntari......more
