The reclusive Ian barely participates in life, only doing so when his powers demand that he use them or pay the consequences. It seems that there’s not a single person on this planet who doesn’t want something from him, but the pain and suffering of others is nearly unbearable at times, leaving him no choice but to act.That is until Wink unwittingly walks into his life, completely unaware that … unaware that she’s stepped straight into the dragon’s den.
Wink is just trying to get home after a long day of work. Her plans for the evening do not include stumbling upon a man with blood on his hands hovering over a dead woman in her hallway.
There are three things that someone in Wink’s position should’ve done in that instance.
1. Slowly back away from the hot, bearded killer and run the other way.
2. Call the cops.
3. Not come back until the scene was safe.
Instead, she stops, takes a picture—drawing the man’s attention to her—and then takes off at the speed of a fat, blind and possibly intoxicated penguin.
Ian tries to let her go, but the moment that she runs, every single one of his predatory instincts surge to the surface and the hunt is on. Ian always catches his prey, this time is no different. What is different is that, for the first time in his life, he is consumed with the need to keep his catch.

I think Ian was my favorite dragon rider yet! He was humble and kind, although he didn’t see himself this way. He could be pretty abrupt and blunt in both his behavior and actions, however, he had the best of intentions and I only wish people knew that. I was so grateful to find that Wink saw him for who he really was. Their relationship grew organically and I was amazed at how smooth it was. With LLV’s classic flair for humor mixed with romance, this story turned out to be the best of the bunch.
What we get:
DRAGONS
a whole slew of new powers to learn about. Ian had incredible healing powers, meaning he could heal just about any physical hurt and take the pain onto himself. He could also see DNA, intuit thoughts, and read a situation with startling clarity
hot sex. I swear, this series has some insanely intense chemistry between its characters and I’ve loved every single moment of each scene
a power show. Watching the characters exhibit their talents was such a thrill. From Nikolai creating an illusion to Ian accurately reading Keifer’s twins to their shows of strength and perseverance, I was entertained and intrigued. I just want MORE!!
This story only got more and more complex and I’m extremely disappointed to find out that there are no more books in this series. I don’t feel like it got the proper closure or resolution. Ian found his long lost sister, Wink’s best friend was secretly a dragon rider, and the Purists are still out there. Is there a petition I can sign or create to get this author to pick this series back up? I NEED this series to continue!!
Dammit… These dragon books go by too quickly! I LOVE this series to pieces!! I can’t quite decide if Ian edges out Keifer (the Hero of book one) but he’s right up there with him, for sure.
Ian & Wink were great together. You could feel their chemistry straight through the kindle screen; not just the physical kind but the emotional one too. It was so genuine & playful & that sizzle factor… Boy howdy, it was panty-melting!
LOVED all of the surprises in this one! We got background on Jean Luc & his family, discovered a special connection between Mattie, Wink & Ian, more dragons came out to play, more special powers came to light (sorry, Keifer… you’re gonna be a busy daddy) & we got to learn more about Ian’s (& now Wink’s) powers, which was so frakin’ cool. (They’d be a pain to have sometimes but the good definitely outweighs the bad, as far as I’m concerned!)
As for Farrow… Ugh. That little douche brother of Keifer & Nikolai is getting on my last nerve. I can already smell the heartbreak that his mate will go through when they finally cross each other’s paths. Hopefully, the other mates will be there for her & help her put Farrow in his place & kick Macy to the curb! Then, the f*cking his brains out thing can commence. #AGirlCanDream
Cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in this series! My fingers are crossed that it’ll be Jean Luc & Mattie’s book!! 🙂
An entertaining, suspenseful, thrilling, and captivating journey to go on with Wink and Ian. I absolutely adore this series.
This is the third in Lani Lynn Vale’s dragon series, and yes, read the previous two books, this is not a stand alone! Ian knew that Wink was his mate, he just figured she would be better off without him, things have been getting more dangerous and why would he bring his mate into this? That is until fate steps in and lends a hand at making sure they touch. Now the wild ride is just beginning, can Ian keep her safe with all the chaos that is happening? When Ian gets a glimpse of something disturbing, how will Keifer take this information?
This was so action packed, it was amazing! There is quite a bit going on in this story, and if you are not careful you can get a bit lost. With a bit of drama, violence, some very steamy sexy times, and a bit of dragon antics this is a 5 star read.
I am really enjoying this series from Vale. Its different and fun! While Wink wasn’t my favorite heroine of the series, she was good. Ian was so intriguing in the previous books I couldn’t wait for his story and it didn’t disappoint!
The audiobooks are amazing! Kendall taylor and Mason Lloyd do a great job!
Never have been into super natural books or and thing with magic and shape shifting, but in true Lani fashion, she drew me in from the first paragraph. Love this series.
This has to be my favorite in the I like big Dragons series , loved everything about it the story , characters , relationships , the headings of the chapters always make me laugh and the SEX lets not forget about the hot sex scenes . If you haven’t read the first two books in the series I would highly suggest that you do even though this is a standalone you will enjoy this even more . I always found Ian’s character intriguing and mysterious was so happy his book was going to be the next , he was awesome ,very alpha stalkish , dirty talker , very selfless , and surprisingly funny as was his dragon . Loved Wink ( cool name by the way ) like all Lani Lynn Vale books her heroins are always relatable and freaking hilarious . They made the perfect couple super steamy , lots of chemistry , protectiveness , funny and really made for one another . It was great to see couples from past books and were they are at and can’t wait for Jean Lucs story you get to see a lot more of his character in this one , one person that has always annoyed me was Farrow such a turd but if anyone can make me like a character after being a major Dbag it would be this amazing author .
