Smell the stinking truth right under their up-turned noses.I’ll soon turn twenty-five, but my life has been one big, dangerous … turn twenty-five, but my life has been one big, dangerous deception. I was born into a destiny I never chose, and a war I never asked for. But the biggest secret of all is running through my veins, hidden deep within my bones. A slumbering beast, that’s only now beginning to awaken.
And right when it feels like my sanity is starting to slip, she appears. Fiery, seductive, and holding an envelope that’s about to smash my life to pieces.
I never wanted a love story. But the last thing I expected was a tragedy.

This is the first book in a series that I voluntarily received for an honest review. First of all SPOILER it is a cliff hanger, the story just stops. But I will say that there was so much story packed into this book. Daniel has no idea what is in store for him within the next few days. The first of story is vague and mysterious that I had all kinds of thoughts running through my mind of what was going to happen and WOW when you did find out it was nothing that I expected. He has many choices and decisions to make with the next few weeks. Natasha has always know what she is and what she has trained for, yet when it is time for her assignment it is not at all what she expected.
The characters are full of mystery and personality that you just want to read more about them. So much mystery with in the book it really peeks your interest as to who is who and what is happening or going to happen. I really liked this book and look forward to the next one in the series to find out what happens next!
Personal opinion of the story. I know every author has their own directive as how a story goes or how things should be in their story so this is in no way saying I did not like the story. I find it odd that the Dragons and humans never talk to each other. By not communicating with each other it seemed as if they were two different beings not one.. Also they seem to have no history of how dragons came to be so long ago. I guess reading so many shifter books I have in my own mind how things work. These things in no way diminished the story, this author just has another view of shifters.
I received this book in exchange for a fair review. Daniel is an office executive for his father and then he turns twenty five and his life is turned upside down. A very good book, well written with fully developed characters. The only thing I didn’t like was the ending. It just felt kind of rushed. I hope more is written about Daniel, Natasha, and the secret dragon society.
A fantastic story!
I adored the characters in this story. Daniel and Natasha are a perfect match in every way. It was fun watching them explore their new feelings.
Daniel always felt like he never fit in, something was missing in his life. He never understood why? Until a family secret is revealed.
Natasha is sent to bring Daniel back to his father.
The connection to Natasha is strange at first for Daniel. He’s never felt such a strong connection to anyone before. Natasha makes his heart beat faster and makes him feel alive. Her touch calms and soothes his inner beast.
The spark they feel when they first meet is nothing compared to the fire that burns bright and reaches their very soul when they’re together. This adventure is just starting. I can’t wait for the next one in this series!
“I voluntarily received this arc book for an honest review”
This is the first story I have read that the dragon’s first change is around 25 years old. Different and it does make for some excitement. Good story, I liked it. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
I really felt bad for the shock that Daniel went through. I loved that the families around him including Natasha were so supportive and loving. I liked that both Daniel and Natasha were strong alone and great together.
I received an ARC and am leaving my honest and voluntary review.
First book in a four book series.
The back cover made it sound really interesting. Let’s see shall we? …..
Natasha has a destiny to fulfil, and since being left at an orphanage as a baby, she’s worked hard to make the people who brought her up proud. And now she’s gets a chance to repay them. And she won’t let them down….. She has always know her origins, she’s aware of who and what she is, and being an assassin for an organisation that hunts rogue dragons is her life work.
Daniel turns 25 this weekend, and his father is throwing him a birthday celebration that will last all weekend!! But to be honest, that’s not what Daniel wants, all he wants is to be left alone …. to live his life his way ….. but that’s not going to happen for the most eligible bachelor in town. Called to the family home, Daniel grits his teeth and heads home.
Natasha and Daniel’s first meeting doesn’t really go to plan, as they both pull up in their own cars, both are preoccupied with their own thoughts….
Daniel is home, but under pressure from the family. He wants to say hi, then go as soon as he’s can, but that changes when a gorgeous woman literally falls into his arms. The night may have a little merit now.
Natasha is a guest. She literally falls into his arms (she trips whilst wearing too high a heel) after that encounter they bump into each other a few more times, he’s fascinated with her, she’s not really interested, she thinks he’s a pompous idiot.
But it all that changes after a dance he insists on and a passionate kiss!!
The twists keep coming, in the form of the bombshell Daniel’s father relays to him….. he’s not his real father, and he’s a dragon shifter, and your best friends are really your brothers …. oh and lovely young lady you’ve been getting close to, she’s a shifter too, and she’s here to help you….. but Daniel wasn’t aware he was a dragon shifter. And it’s strange, but the shifters never worried Daniel, what really pisses him off is the fact his father hid the truth from him, and Daniel can’t forgive the man that brought him up.
It’s a good story, a little short, and maybe a little more content and less sex would have been nice, plot is pretty good. Although it made me frown that Daniel didn’t have issues with shifters being around, but had issues with his father not being in his life (he went for 25 years believing the man he grew up with was his father) Characters are well written, the only issue I have the story, it felt a little rushed (maybe less sex and more story) especially towards the end. If this is a prequel, then it’s ok, but if this is the first book, I hope more thought is given to the amount of pages sex will occupy.
Oh …… And the ending !!!!
