A dormant dragon shifter, and an empath found their true way overcoming deception and deadly Elysians enemies. Strong emotions, suspense, heated passion, violence and lot of action. Liked Pandora’s inner struggle, the fierce battles against the evil Elysian and the snippets about other couples.
I’m confused. I realize that’s not the best way to start a book review, but that’s the primary feeling I have now that I’ve finished this book. And I slept on it to make sense out of what happened!
First of all, character development, descriptions, and storytelling are just as good as any others in this series. I enjoy the world Laxmi Hariharan has created and I like the continuity offered by the reappearance of characters from other books.
My confusion stems from the actions of Pandora. Wait. What? No, wait. WHAT?!? What was she trying to accomplish? What was she thinking? Why didn’t she foresee what would happen? I don’t know how to answer any of those questions. Despite the HEA (I think) wtf? I don’t know what else to say.
I’m not a big fan of contemporary but this series it’s just what I want, her characters are so involved. So believable that you have to have the next one. Really enjoy this I hope she continues to write this text book because there’s a lot more characters I want to read about.
It is a very well written paranormal romance that draws you in from the beginning. The relationship takes place on the psychic and physical plane and you get an intimate look at both Rage and Pandora and really understand their motivations and their feelings. Maybe it is a little rushed but that’s my opinion mostly because I prefer slow burn romances… Like previous books I really liked this one to.
A Dragon shifter you say and a Elysian that can read minds. What a blast. Both in a prison one way or another. Pandora was made to bond with the dragon Rage, so her brother would not be killed, but what happened was beyond the boundaries of what she thought. Oh my, what love goes along with this tale. Effortless and cohesive writing. A continuing story with a flowing storyline. I loved it! I received a complimentary copy of this book.
Wow just wow. Loved Rage. The tortured soul he has and the pain he has suffered. Ugh I just wanted to hug him and make him better. I couldn’t connect with pandora like the other books. I liked her more as she realized despite the bad intentions to begin with she had changed course and sought out to protect rage for he was her true mate. But she was in a crappy position. Wow Vance. Can’t believe it. But I can see he never betrayed anyone despite what his mission was. Poor Serena. I hope In one of the books indira and Caleb get their happy ending. Because I have seen that none of them have their own book. Not sure how I felt with the connection to the Sian web. I get not all Elysians are bad but it’s still feels like the bad guys won a little. Idk. Can’t wait for vances book.
This was a great story and was very entertaining. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between the hero and heroine is sizzling hot. I would recommend this to anyone that loves a great love story.
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
Dora, an empath, and Rage, a dragon who cannot shift, find themselves as prisoners. Their captors want to use Dora to bond with Rage on the physic plane to save her brother. There is a lot of push and pull attraction that in the end leads them to their happily ever after.
Wow! Great paranormals ! Loved it; waiting for more!
Again, Laxmi Hariharan has written another book that is fantastic! You get swept away by all the drama and excitement, it keeps you turning the pages until you realise your finished!
I love all the characters, and the way the author always brings in the characters from all the other books she’s written.
The storyline will grip you from the start and not let you go until the end.
Take a look at this book and give the series a go, you won’t regret it

Rage and Pandora’s story was intense, both of them suffering being held against their wills and for totally different reasons, Pandora is a empath and feeds the web emotions. Rage is a dragon who can’t turn from his human form to his dragon form. She helps him release his beast under the duress of her brother’s life.
