Captured in space. Imprisoned. Sold to the highest bidder. But my biggest problem is the bossy, aggravating, impossible, alien who’s supposed to rescue me. The bossy alien I kissed. That might have been a mistake.Kadir is dangerous. I’ve seen him fight and his body is littered with scars. He’s a soldier. A warrior. And when he loses control, he turns into a big scary dragon and breathes fire.… when he loses control, he turns into a big scary dragon and breathes fire.
Everyone’s terrified of him. I’m not. No, call me the biggest fool in the galaxy, because I’m attracted to the big jerk.

When I first met the small human I was sent to rescue, she punched me in the jaw.
And broke her wrist in the process. Irrational woman.
Then she insists that the two of us set out immediately to find her missing friend.
No, what I have to do is get Alice Hernandez to safety.
She’s soft, yet she’s strong.
Fragile, yet so brave.
She’s everything I’ve never known I wanted.
Everything I can’t let myself have.
When the scientists tortured me, they broke me. And when Alice finds out the truth about the fearsome, raging dragon inside me, I will lose her.more
I loved Alice’s sass and grit. If you like reading about strong female characters and strong males who can be vulnerable as well, this is a must-read alien romance!
ps: so um… First is kind of like really bad, but surely I’m not the only one hoping he’ll get his happily after eventually…
I could not put it down! If you love Alpha male dragon shifters who are powerful, obsessive, and relentless in protecting their mate, you will love this book. We meet a dragon shifter who is called First, but he has also named himself Kadir. He has been woken up after one-thousand years stasis to help in a special mission. As part of this mission he must see Alice, a human, to safety from forced captivity. Though not instant, they feel an attraction for each other but each attribute it to a normal physical reaction. If they ONLY knew that there’s nothing normal about what they feel and that surviving will entail facing poweful forces seeking to destroy them. I loved this book, it had action, betrayal, lots of lust and true mates loving. Cant wait for the next one! Lee Savino
love the Draekons
This is another steamy read with endearing characters and an intriguing storyline. I love the Draekons and I am happy that this is the first book in this series because that means that there will be more books to read about them. I can’t wait to read the next book.
This is a spinoff from Lee Savino and Lili Zander’s Draekon world. Only now, instead of being on the prison planet, we are out in the galaxy at large. We’re still dealing with the bad, evil scientists, and aliens who want to hurt the Draekon and human women.
Alice is a human who was supposed to go to the Zorahn homeworld, but she and the 9 other women on the ship she was on got sidetracked, and the women were all sold. She and another woman were sold to scientists who experimented on them and tortured them. But now, the scientists have sold her and her friend on, and now she’s been left, naked and tied up, in the streets of an alien market town.
The rebels need someone who can rescue the missing women. So, they pull out their secret weapon. Five of the original Draekon. These are the guys who set the standard for all the rest. There is no one better than them. They are only known by their numbers, Second-Sixth. Second is sent out after Alice. What no one knows is that he has given himself a name, Kadir.
I really liked Kadir. It made me mad that the rebels treated him as they did, because it made them no better than the bad guys. They acted like he was a nuclear bomb that was about to go off, even though they only spent all of about 5 minutes with him. He has his job to do, and his duty, and he’s going to go out and do it. He really is a good male. He has a really good heart, and even though he’s done horrible things and he can still do horrible things, that’s not who he really is and not who he really wants to be.
Alice is fierce AF. Her introduction to Kadir comes when he tries to rescue her and she punches him right in the jaw. I mean, she looked at him and realized how big she was, but she wasn’t going to stop fighting, so she fought him. She broke her wrist, but she stayed true to herself, and she stayed true to herself through the whole book. That is truly awesome.
This is quite possibly my favorite Draekon book! I loved, loved, loved Kadir and Alice. They were so well written, compelling, and super hot together. His intensity and her compassion and loyalty to him were intense. The book moved quickly, was a page turner, and really set up the entire series well. Lili Zander and Lee Savino have another great series on their hands and I cant wait for the rest of the series. Can I say loved it one more time!
Received an ARC and this is my honest review.
Holy moly this was outstanding and so exciting I couldn’t get enough I devored every word. I loved loved Kadir and Alice they were so full of life, passion and humor, bossiness and let’s not forget stubborn and fierce. It was so descriptive you can feel and see it all and so cool it gives you goosebumps. The writing is fantastic with characters that I adore and love and I’m so looking forward to the next one YAY!!!!!
I loved this one! Katir and Alice’s story is packed with action and a huge dose of humour. It’s also got it’s emotional moments & I have a bit of a soft spot for this gruff dragon. Can’t wait for the next book in this series. Definitely recommend
