Book Review

It’s been quite a while since the last book in this series was published, and I was glad to see there is another story now. The fascinating world of dragon shifters and sorcerers and its royal dragon shifter family is as interesting as ever, and with the dragon king, Brian, and his brothers still looking for the missing and/or kidnapped dragons, there is plenty of action and suspense to keep me happy. Characters from the first two books are back, but the focus is on Brian’s brother, Nicholas, and the “lost dragon” he has been drawn to.

What Nicholas finds when they finally determine the exact location of the small dragon they have set out to rescue is pretty shocking. Nicholas is ready to burn all the perpetrators to a cinder, but his need to make sure the enslaved guy is safe wins out and the first thing he does is return the rescued captive’s dragon’s eye to him – that way he will finally be free.  

Tommy was born as a slave, has never had any reason to trust another dragon, and when he holds his dragon’s eye for the very first time, he can feel its power. Since he has no idea what to do now that he is free and has no education or money to help him survive, he hesitantly accepts Nicholas’s offer to come back to the royal house with him.

What follows is a very sweet romance, and even though both men know they are mates, building trust is hard. For one, Nicholas and Tommy are total strangers, and Tommy has always been disappointed and treated badly by others. Then there is the fact that Brian appoints Nicholas as Tommy’s guardian – meaning Nicholas is in charge of Tommy’s training as a dragon. Finding out all about being a dragon and learning to fight is not exactly easy…

‘Dragon’s Breath’ is about finding out who you really are, finding a home, and learning about skills and abilities that can be difficult to deal with. If you like rescued shifters, supernaturals who have to figure out who they are and what they want in life, and if you're looking for an entertaining, sweet read, then you will probably like this novella.
