Argan’s honor as a Preor warrior made him defend her. Liquid Knot’s heart demanded she save him. Liquid Knot—hacker extraordinaire—has made mistakes in her life, but none so big as getting an alien warrior sentenced to death. His head is on the chopping block and the Preor leader is determined to follow the letter of the law. Now, there’s only one thing she can do to prevent his death: claim the … death: claim the sun-colored, sexy, delicious winged male as her mate.
Argan sen Izz’bara does not regret defending Liquid Knot—his dragon’s heart would not allow him to remain silent—he regrets that she condemns herself to a mating in name only. Yet as they spend time together, it becomes clear there is more than friendship between them. Attraction. Passion. Need. Argan did not experience the Knowing the first time he met Liquid Knot so there is no way they could be mates. Right?
Before the question can be answered, someone in the shadows makes his displeasure known. Argan was supposed to die. Now his enemy is intent on destroying Argan and Lily both.
Can he save her from a rampaging Preor again? Or will he fail her just as he has failed so many?

Argan is book ten in the Dragons of Preor series by Celia Kyle as Erin Tate.
Argan is a Preor male. He has been jailed for threatening a Master to protect a female. His fate is set, until the damsel comes to his rescue.
Liquid Knot aka Lily is a human female who is a tech genius. She’s been working for the Preor’s for some time now and in this story she does the rescuing.
Our couple, Argan and Lily, boy do they have a lot of sexual tension and HOT moments; before they do finally seal the deal at the end of the book. Oh boy, was that a fire cracking moment. I do want to point out that the author did have a sex scene on the beach and that was not for me. I cringed; because if you’ve been on a beach you know sand gets in places you don’t want it. It’s not a place to explore those urges.
I adored the ship, which is now Penelope, who has taken on a mind of it’s own. It’s fun and a little disconcerting, but more on the fun side since she’s more like a human female with attitude.
I had a lot of fun with this one. I loved our couples banter and how they helped each other. I loved the change up were a female does the rescuing and claiming instead of the other way around. It was great! We also get a new element introduced in this book, wrist cuffs. These cuffs tie two people together who are not mates or don’t have the Knowing. It was interesting to have this change.
Argan was fun read.
Rated: 4 Stars
Liquid Knot is one complex lady and this is her chance to make sure that her mistakes don’t end up hurting others. In the end, it may be her greatest sacrifice and happiness. I have really liked Liquid Knot in all the past glimpses she has had in previous books. Her spirit and snark have been wonderful. In Argan, we get to see what and why she is the way she is. We get to see Argan build Lily up and cherish her for her beauty and brains. This was a wonderful story of two broken halves knitting into a spectacular new whole.
great addition to the series
I love the story but I’m conflicted. I was so excited to finally get to read Liquid Knot’s story because she was such a bad ash, I just knew her book would blow the others out of the Preor Tower. She and Argon finally get close by circumstances that are less than optimal, but I was still all about #TeamLiquidKnot. The sabotage that kept happening was intense. I had a problem with the one dude being on the crashing thing and then the resolution, because that just didn’t make sense. I’m talking in circles so I don’t give the story away. Buy the book! The other thing that I had trouble with was what happened to Lily. Like I want to believe that Penelope upgraded her on the sly, I really hope that this is what we discover in future books, because Liquid is so phenomenal, I hate to think of her diminished, and that leads to the question of who is physically doing the surgery. . . like that’s a whole other level of head game. I did love the romance between Argon and Liquid, it builds slowly and oh my lanta, can they all not be such ashes about it. So rude. I expected Liquid to mess with them each individually electronically, but maybe that is something else that I can look forward to? Once again, Celia Kyle has written a wonderful, multi-layered story that I read way too fast, I only gave it 4 stars because of the diminishing of one of my favorite characters ever, but you should read it and decide for yourself, if in a future story I am mollified by some returning awesomeness for my favorite hacker, then I’ll return and amend this rating.
Preor warrior, Argan has been imprisoned for attacking the engineering master. The only company he has, is the hologram image the spaceship’s artificial intelligence has been given. She is a disturbingly sexy female called Penelope and is a lot like her creator, the human tech genius Lily King, known to most by her hacker handle “Liquid Knot”.
Lily is determined to get Argan out of the trouble he is in because of her. The brave warrior was protecting her (maybe a little too enthusiastically) from verbal abuse.
She has what she thinks is a good plan, she just hopes he will agree.
Our heroine has a secret that only a very select few know and it has made her very useful. It’s also why she was permitted to work with the aliens when they came to Earth.
This is an exciting and spicy Sci-Fi romance that is part of a series. It has fabulous, amusing characters and a little danger. You could read it on it’s own but will enjoy much more if you have read at least the first in series.
Great fun.
Finally! Argan ties the Liquid Knot
Been a while since we’ve visited with the dragons of Preor, who seek mates on Earth isn order to save their species. This is Book 10 in the series, and all our old favorites return – War Master Taulan and his War Mistress, Lana Coburn; Penelope, their sentient ship; and those lovably literal minded Preor dragon men. Just like Argan – so loyal, so disciplined, so endearingly clueless about the human females they bond to. Argan is old, severely scarred and disfigured, and ready to return to Preor and take his final flight – if the War Master spares his life. He’s imprisoned for threatening the Engineering Master because he verbally abused and threatened Liquid Knot – nom de hacker of Lily the computer wizard responsible for Penelope’s upgraded functions and snarky personality. Liquid Knot also repurposed a training platform into a Preor resort destination – without permission – hence the Engineering Master’s tirade, Argan’s challenge, and the Warmaster’s current dilemma. Liquid Knot is devastated. Argan came to her defense, and for that he will die. She does the only thing she can to fix it – She claims Argan as her mate according to Preor law and Earth treaty. The legal challenge to this action are the simplest to overcome. And when, as time and Preor tech demonstrate there’s more to Argan and Lily’s mating than expedience, the mayhem and madness that follows is life-changing and love-affirming. Sorting it all out saves Lily and Argan’s lives and cements their bond with the Knowing: it’s their HEA. It also saves the War Master from being sent by War Mistress Lana to sleep in the house of a canine. Some thing never change…
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
It was a great book!
It started as a way to save Argan’s life.
Now, Liquid knot or Lily is starting to have feelings toward Argan.
When Argan met Liquid Knot, he did not experience the Knowing.
So how come he has these feelings toward her?
Are they mates or not ?
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Knowingly knotted
The long anticipated return of the Preor dragons will make you want to take flight. Liquid Knot is back to her usual brashness and sarcasm when she rescues Argan from death or languishing in the brig. Through many failed attempts on their lives, they survive and thrive finding their way to each other, a return of honor, and a love never ending. I hope this is not the end of the Preor dragon tales. So many still need to find their mates and experience the knowing.
A great story that kept me glued till the end but I just needed a bit more clarification.
I really loved this but without going back to read book 8 Brukr, (which I did) I could not remember much about Liquid Knot aka Lily.
Loved the different way this story was portrayed and how things went a different path for these two.
Argan, oh my, what a real true sweetheart, so honourable and caring in his behaviour towards Lily. I disliked the Preor attitude about his scars, they were earned in battle.
Lily is such a total boon to the Preor, that with everything that happened, I think they have lost one hell of a source. I really hope Lily retains her computer/hacking abilities and is able to continue what she was doing, especially in regards to the Pol Mutation problem.
Some of these bigots deserve to get some payback too.
Not sure why Taulan was such a prick in this book with his behaviour, he felt very negative and anti Argan to me. I also feel I am lacking a solid reason for why the bad guy (no name given) did what he did. I do not remember him or his brother.
Loved how Penelope is behaving and it will be fun to see how that develops.
I was kindly given this book for an honest review but read it through Kindle Unlimited.
