Dragon Guardians Keon and Ice have a lot to worry about. From the foreign soldiers out there trying to steal their dragons to the fact that Ice’s Elemental Ops team is in-house and trying to help out, the two of them are having a hard time settling into their new life together.

When members of Ice’s team start bonding with the other dragons, Keon’s first reaction is panic. The guys seem like good men, but these dragons are his life. Can he and Ice keep everyone safe, even from themselves?

 

Book Review

The second volume of this increasingly cute series about a team of secretive elemental operatives stumbling on a group of dragons and their Guardian was even more fun than the fist book. Ice has definitively decided to stay on with Keon and his clutch of dragons, but he needs help to defy their enemies who are after the dragons and their eggs as potential “biological weapons”. And I just bet if dragons existed that is exactly what part of humankind would be after! And so this story about fairy tale creatures set in the framework of a modern-day adventure continues.

Ice has gone from an unemotional secret operative to a caring dragon Guardian who is quickly bonding with “his” dragon baby as well as his human partner Keon. He is still slightly baffled by all that has happened but is beginning to not just adjust to the new situation, but to actively like it. He is fierce when it comes to the defense of the dragons and Keon, but knows they need help. And since he trusts his team, he calls them in –with somewhat unexpected consequences.

Keon is a little overwhelmed by the idea of other people around him. He has been alone with the dragons for a very, very long time but he is relieved to be able to share his burden. Not that this is easy for him since he is super protective of them, and not all of Ice’s team mates have an easy time of it, nor do the dragons who want to bond with them.

I loved the addition of the other team members to the group. Each has an interesting “elemental” ability, and I look forward to more being revealed as this series develops. If you like the idea of men with elemental powers combining their abilities with mystical dragons, if you enjoy stories where hardened men become protective of (currently) helpless creatures and release their softer hearts, and if you’re looking for an imaginative read that is fun and full of paranormal and fantastical discoveries, then you will probably like this short story.
