Book Blurb

Adam Rivers is still getting used to life as being the only human mated to a dragon in an enemy nest. His lover, dragon warrior Novik Grey, is always accommodating, even if there are others who want to see Adam gone.

After Novik rescues a friend of Adam's, tension in the nest rises, and the humans are considering going to war against the dragons. This is enough to cause a lot of stress and anxiety throughout the dragons, and Adam doesn't want to complain, even when a few people come a little too close, sound a little too threatening. Adam wants to take some of the load off of Novik's shoulders by handling this himself, by proving that he doesn't always have to rely on Novik to save him.

When the dragons get together and form a plot to get Adam out of the nest, without his or Novik's permission, Adam might just be a little in over his head.

 

Book Review

This second book in the ‘Dragon Hearts’ series gives a closer look at the dragon society, as well as the fate of the humans living with them, rather than in their own village. The events begin right where the first book ended, and you should definitely read that one first, or you’ll miss all the background and things mentioned in this review will be spoilers. One thing I really liked was the fact Norvik, the head dragon warrior, and Adam, the human he rescued, are the main characters in this volume as well. Their relationship is still pretty new, and I enjoyed seeing them grow together. At the same time, Adam’s best friend Jason, who was rescued with him, gets a few spots in the limelight, and it was good to see things from his perspective. I look forward to seeing more!

Adam has come far since Norvik rescued him, but he is still struggling with the idea of being the mate of a powerful warrior. It means that, essentially, he is not allowed to do anything, and that bothers him. He does not want to be “the woman” in the relationship, but it doesn’t look as though he is getting a choice. When Adam gets harassed by a few dragons and one particular guy seems to have it in for him, Adam tries to deal with it on his own – with truly disastrous consequences.

Norvik is very happy to be mated, and does anything and everything he can think of to make Adam feel welcome and loved. He more than tolerates Adam’s ideas of wanting to help Jason with his chores, despite what other dragons think. Norvik just wants to see Adam happy. And when Adam vanishes, Norvik goes after him with single-minded determination. What he discovers at the end of the book made me drop my jaw, and while Norvik doesn’t yet tell Adam, I am sure Adam will have the same reaction once he finds out.

If you like stories about dragons and their human mates, if you want to know more about Norvik and Adam adapting to their new life, and if you’re looking for a read that is fun, hot, and offers a few surprises, then you will probably like this novella.
