Aiken and Mel never thought they would see each other again. Fate, and a brewing war with a vampire army, had other plans. After the love of his life walked away, powerful half-human, half-dragon Aiken French isn’t about to risk his emotions on a woman ever again. It doesn’t matter that his Drakon beast wholeheartedly disagrees, or that his powers of telekinesis are suffering as a result. He … as a result. He can’t live through that kind of heartbreak again. But with a long-buried vampire stirring, he might not have a choice.
Bounty hunter Mel Kane never wanted a preordained future–she will be in control of her life, not some Drakon beast who supposedly selects her mate for her. She had to leave, even if it just about killed her. But if she’s going to decide her own future, she’ll need to stay alive long enough to see it, which means trusting Aiken with her life, even though she couldn’t trust him with her heart.
With war on the horizon, Aiken and Mel must track down the rogue vampire behind it all. Temptation leads them back into each other’s arms, but even fate isn’t a sure thing when faced with a legion of the undead determined to kill them all.

Tempt the Dragon is a wildly passionate and heart-pounding masterpiece that is sure to leave you begging for more! Nothing prepared me for the genius of this mesmerizing and intoxicating story. It knocked me off my feet from the very beginning and never let me regain my balance. This is truly a journey that requires unfathomable courage, enduring heart, and a strong will. What you find within these pages is not easy, and you will fight to keep your heart intact.
Aiken is living a shadow of a life. He pushes forward each day only hoping to see to another sunrise and hoping to regain some semblance of peace and contentment. When he finds his heart in the most unlikely of places, he is forced to relive his past and come to terms with his future. Melody is not ready to see much less talk to Aiken. He is everything she ran from in order to protect her heart. Now, they are both drawn into a deadly plot that promises nothing but pain and heartache. When they are forced to make a choice about their future, will they walk away for good, or will hope prove too hard to leave behind with a fight?
My heart hurt for these two incredible characters. Aiken and Melody didn’t deserve to be put through the pain they endured for years, but they had to work through their fear and insecurities in a very meaningful way. They had to settle their past in order to figure out if they had a future at all. While they had no issues fighting in the battle against evil, they balked when it came to being together in order to protect their heart. Past pain was a huge hindrance to any shred of happiness for either of them. Working through that pain and not letting the other run was a huge task that neither wanted but both needed. Sometimes we have to risk everything in order to gain everything we need. The risk has to equal the goal.
A.C. Arthur is a sensational author who is a wicked creator of the most sensual, highly emotional, and deeply touching stories I have ever read. She is a genius at weaving a blistering and unrelenting journey of two broken and hurting characters who need to surrender to their heart and live by hope. I am never disappointed whenever I am able to dive into one of her incredible books. They are a soothing balm to my soul and a sweet challenge to my heart. Don’t miss out on her fabulous stories of gentle love, uncompromising hope, and unfailing faith in our fellow humans.
This ended up being a good read. I wasn’t impressed with the typical, I don’t need a man, I can do it by myself attitude in the beginning of the story. But then Aiken and Mel ended up showing why they work well together. The story was packed with action, suspense, teamwork, with red hot passion. This was the third book in this series, but AC did a good job of keeping you on your toes, and rooting. I would recommend this book.
Aiken and Mel are the 3rd couple to get a book in the Legion Series. The characters are awesome, great word building, steamy, romantic, page turner, easy to read, lots of action, entertaining, funny and a second chance at romance.
Aiken and Mel are dragon shifters and met again after parting ways 80 years ago. They are both tracking down a vampire shifter named Duncan that has been entrusted to release elder vampires from their graves that are to take over the world. Mel and Aiken and The Legion are having no part of that.
Aiken and Mel are both on assignment and in the same complex when Aiken spots movement along the wall and a scent that that old so familiar that he recognizes. He reaches into the wall and pulls out Mel his mate who accepts her chameleon side of being a dragon but wants no part of being a dragon. Mel has issues because her parents brought her to the US and left her when she was only 4 years old with no explanation about her dragon side. Aiken also has issues that he is dealing with when he killed fellow dragon shifters who were up to no good and children were also killed in the process.
They are both dealing with issues from their past can the two dragon shifters come together to defeat the Duncan and his minions and find their way back to a second chance in the mating game?
Kudos to AC on another great paranormal book. I love her style of writing her paranormal books are totally awesome. You don’t want miss this great book.
I sure hope that A.C. Arthur writes about Magnums who is Steele’s brother, Reese and Ziva.
