About the Book:

There’s a war on the horizon that I want nothing to do with.

So, in an attempt to call for peace between both sides, I host a peace talk and invite my sisters, the respective queens of Gaunt and Latran.

But that peace talk doesn’t go as planned.

After one sister kills the other, I realize this situation is far worse than I previously imagined.

Soon I’m taken prisoner by my surviving sister, Sylvia, as I learn she plans to overlord all three provinces.

And knowing Sylvia, she’ll do so with an iron fist.

Once my love, Devon—a dragon shifter, frees me, I have a choice to make: fly off with him to a place far away where we’ll both be safe or face a war that will devastate my homeland and possibly cost me my life.

My Review:

The Dragon’s Fight is the epic conclusion to the Dragon’s Birthright series. Selena and Devon were on opposite sides of a very real problem until Selena’s sister does something horrific that sets the stage for something catastrophic. Now, the two must decide if they join the war or flee.

Selena is a strong heroine and Devon finally turns around and I can hail him as a great hero. There was nothing easy about what went on in book 3. Horrifying actions spilled blood, war was waged, and sides were chosen. The Dragon’s Fight is filled with twists, turns, and surprises the reader will enjoy and not see coming.

I enjoyed everything about this story. The setting is simple yet perfect for the story being told. The characters are three-dimensional, interesting, and written well. I am sad to see the characters go but I’m awfully glad I got to meet them in the first place.

I was provided a copy of this book to read.

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.

About the Book:

Five years ago, I was banished from my father’s kingdom even though I was his favorite of his three daughters once upon a time.

Then my father lost his mind, and with no one else willing to take care of him, I took the responsibility upon myself.

We’ve been running ever since.

My two sisters, each queen of their own bordering territories, want ownership of my father’s lands, and they’ll stop at nothing to assume that ownership.

Even if it means killing my father and me.

Which is why we’ve been kidnapped by mercenaries.

But one man among the group of lewd mercenaries stands out…

Devon is withdrawn, quiet, and easily the leader of the pack, though no one seems to know him well.

When I’m entrusted into his care, I find myself fighting the natural attraction I feel towards him, fighting the stupid desire to paint him as anything other than a man being paid to deliver me to my death.

And yet, there’s something unearthly about Devon—something about how he appears to have super-human strength and speed, something about the detailed stories he tells around the campfire, vividly bringing to light the history of the noblest of creatures: the dragon.

Something that tells me maybe this man isn’t all he appears to be…

My Review:

Selena was banished five years prior for refusing to marry her father's choice for her when the time came. Now, Selena is on the run with her father, who's cognitive condition is in a constant state of declination. The Good Daughter begins with an emotional and heart-wrenching scene. The state of Uther hit me hard and drew on my own experiences caring for a loved one in his condition. My heart broke for Selena. 

Through their travels, Selena and Uther have managed to evade capture until they stop in one small village for rest and a meal. A band of mercenaries track and kidnap them, having been hired by one of Selena's sisters. What follows is a tale of deception and double-cross that has Selena twisted up in knots.

Her 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. 

Selena is a strong heroine and as much as I'd like to praise Devon has a great hero, he does some pretty sketchy things in The Good Daughter. I really hope he redeems himself, and in a spectacular fashion. 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 in book two.
