Cora is on the run from some loan sharks and runs to the only person she can think of — her dead brother’s best friend Stig.  Unknown to Cora, Stig is a dragon.  A dragon who’s about to enter his breeding cycle.  But Cora doesn’t have any other place to go, and Stig can’t kick her out.

 

For a novella, I found the characters to be surprisingly complete.  The world of dragons was well explained, not leaving the reader with tons of unanswered questions.  The author has done a wonderful job of giving us enough information without becoming too blah, blah, blah about it.

 

My biggest complaint is that there wasn’t enough of this book.  I wanted to know more about Stig and Cora and their life together.  Another chapter, an epilogue, just give me more!  Lolita Lopez has created a world that I look forward to visiting again and again.

 

Do you like shifters?  With feathers or fur or scales?

This is Ash’s book and I’ve been so excited to read it. I even read it in book form and that’s saying a lot because I see much better in ebook format. I loved this story so much because I’ve been intrigued by Ash and I felt a little sorry for him after Jace’s book. I desperately wanted him to have his HEA and he certainly got it! He saw Josie across the park and knew right then that he had to have her, that she was different. Oh, he fought for about two seconds, stupid boy! They were kindred souls despite their vast differences.

They start their relationship quickly and no holds barred. Sex starts soon and continues very frequently, thank god! There was good hot sex in this book. I enjoyed the fact that even though she was submissive, she still had a backbone and didn’t let Ash walk all over her. I hope somehow she writes a book about Brittney, Ash’s sister. I’d like to read about her. I’m kind of sad that this is supposedly the end of the trilogy. I enjoyed it and this is my favorite story of the three.

Reilly is one of the Jennings of Blackwater and this is his story. He had a one night stand with Lucy, who is the best friend of his brother’s girlfriend. The morning after ends badly and the two part ways. Reilly tries to contact her but she avoids him. Lucy has been hurt before and refuses to be hurt again. Two months later, she has a positive pregnancy test and has to tell Reilly. His reaction is one of shock but he accepts this and the rest of the story is their getting to know each other.

I’m a big fan of this series. I like family sagas and unexpected pregnancies in love stories. I wish the relationship would’ve had more time to build but this is a novella series. The love scenes were hot as hell. They always are with Anne Rainey though. I enjoyed this and look forward to the next one.
