About the Book:

I’ve been kidnapped and sold by Devon more times than I can count.

But it doesn’t change the feelings I have for him, because each time he sold me to one sister and then the other, he did so for a reason that had everything to do with saving his kind.

Yes, his kind as in… dragon shifters.

And the dragon shifters are a dying species.

Now Devon has made his feelings clear for me and he’s taken me under his wing, so to speak.

Together, we face a problem—how to defend the dragons from the humans who want nothing more than to wipe them out.

The only problem? Well, there are a few:

The full-blooded dragons don’t want to fight, the shifter-dragons don’t want me involved in their business (namely because I’m human), and Devon still isn’t telling me everything.

It’s those secrets that make me begin to realize that maybe these blossoming feelings we obviously share should be nothing more than pleasant dreams that can never be…

My Review:

Selena’s captor is alluring and isn't all that he appears. There is a secret hiding within Devon. While Selena wants to believe he's a good person, she can't help but think about everything he's done in their short time together.

Book 1, The Good Daughter, ended with Selena being sold back to one of her sisters and tossed in a tower. Her savior came swooping in, all scales, talons, and wings. Just as she thought, Devon was hiding something back in book 1, but now he decides to reveal his secret…after he rescues her and flies her to safety.

Selena and Devon are on opposite sides of a very real problem. He’s a dragon shifter bent on making humans pay. She’s a human and, while she doesn’t condone the human violence against dragons, she also doesn’t agree with arbitrary destruction of humans. Unsure of where to go from there, Devon and Selena have some serious decisions to make. Their chemistry may not be enough to unite them.

Selena is a strong heroine and as much as I'd like to praise Devon as a great hero, he continues to do some pretty sketchy things in The Dragon Protector. He redeems himself at first but his and Selena’s views don’t align. The misalignment causes tension between the two of them, and between Selena and Devon’s clan.

I enjoyed every single thing about this story. The setting is simple yet perfect for the story being told. The characters are three-dimensional, interesting, and written well. I'm excited to see where these two extraordinary authors take us next.

I was provided this book to read.
