Meet the Beteferoce brothers: five dragon shifters, each with a strong elemental power. And each with a fierce desire to find his soul mate… He said he was flying on a silver dragon. He called me “Markus-meine.” Who would know all that? Who? And how? SWAT cop and dragon shifter Mark Beteferoce had–and lost–a soul mate. He’s finally at the point where he can get through the days without … the days without thinking about what used to be…until he tastes Quincy O’Brien’s doughnuts and takes him home to play.
Quincy O’Brien is a gifted baker, but at night he dreams of soaring through the sky on dragonback and being topped by the perfect Dom. Mark satisfies the kinky urges Quincy has only explored in his subconscious, pushing his limits and caring for him afterward.
From the start, their connection was more than sexual. It’s known; it’s familiar somehow. And it’s slowly driving Mark insane. What shouldn’t be possible most certainly is, and the bond between himself and Quincy runs deeper than either of them could ever have realized.

Sean Michael is a creative genius as it relates to writing BDSM and in this case primarily Dominance and Bondage. I don’t usually read paranormal/shifting stories but I do read the full range of work by Sean Michael. All work by this author is not alike mastery of applying shifting power in relationships is nearly unparalleled.
This story has so many themes yet the ‘magick’ isn’t recognized until well into the book. We have a muscled SWAT cop who has been in his job for fifteen years and we don’t know much about before that time. When he meets baker Quincy, Mark is immediately drawn to the young man, unlike anything he has felt in many years. Why? He doesn’t really know. Quincy knows why he is attracted to Mark. He is ripe for a man, for a relationship and Mark is just his type. When Quincy dreams and talks in his sleep, speaking words from Marks distant past, Mark immediately responds almost violently, believing that he has been set up, that someone is playing a cruel joke.
Do you believe in reincarnation of any kind? This story carries out the Carina Press Romance Promise with the sizzling encounters that are the trademark of kink stories of Sean Michael. In addition, we have magick, perhaps reincarnation, and a family of flying dragon shifters. The sex is smoking hot and absolutely NSFW; the journey to HEA spellbinding.

Angie –
I have read every book in this series and I am just in love with it! I usually only read about wolf shifters but when this series came out I jumped on it because I love most of the author’s work. You do not have to read the previous books in the series, but I think you would understand Mark more if you did. Mark is a cop who goes with another officer who frequents Quincy’s bakery. Mark loves the raisin doughnuts and keeps going back for them and glimpses of Quincy. Quincy knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to say it or ask for it. When Mark and Quincy come together it is magic! I don’t want to give away anything because I hate spoilers. Just know I laughed and cried and loved it from beginning to end. Low on angst and heavy on sex and lovey dovey mushy stuff. For some reason, I had thought this was the last book in the series, but it is not and I am so flipping happy! Can’t wait for the next book.

Review Born of Air is book four in the Dragon Soul series and it’s everything I have come to expect from Sean Michael! This is Mark’s story of finding his soul mate-reinvented!
Mark is a dragon and a cop. He comes into a bakery for some doughnuts and meets Quincy. He is strangely drawn to him-and even though his raisin doughnuts are epic, it’s Quincy himself. There are instant sparks and Mark and Quincy agree to a little fun!
When Quincy is dreaming of flying on a silver dragon and is talking in his sleep, Mark takes notice! He calls out Markus-meine and Mark is immediately taken back to his former soul mate who was killed. Mark freaks out immediately believing Quincy has set him up. After a bit of investigating, and stalker-ish behavior, Mark realizes the connection they share is more than just sex. He has a familiarity that he can’t rationalize. But he knows what he feels. Now to figure out where Quincy stands with all this and his feelings. He has to believe the impossible has happened!
I have enjoyed this series from the beginning. I loved Mark rediscovering his time-tested soul mate and I loved their journey. Yes, it is very heavy on sex-all the books have been so I knew what to expect! I love the loving touches and the endearing connection between these two. It was an interesting story and kept me intrigued throughout!
Another great entry, and I am looking forward to the last Beteferoce brother to get his story!
