This was a great final addition to the series. I am not sure where my original review went but this was a awesome series and this final installment was no different. Polly and Doc Gilbert are quite the interesting pair. I hope we see more from this world at a later time.
I was gifted an ARC in return of an honest review.
I received an ARC and I am leaving a voluntary review.
He likes her, she likes him, but neither one of them will let on to the other this is the feelings they have. Partly stubborn, partly because of what lies between them.
Gilbert is a handsome scientist as well as a king’s guard for his clan. He is also running out of time to find something very very important to his clan. Although Gilbert knows certain things about the Dragon Queen, he has a few things to learn about her. Moving in next to her, watching her, working on that cure for his king, and hiding his feelings for her is taking up all of his time. He doesn’t mind though, and lately his thoughts of her are much more along the lines of ‘mine’ than ever before. What he is about to learn is how true and deep his feelings will run for her.
Polly has never lived up to her mother’s standards, she is too big, too this and too that. Nothing she does is ever good enough. But Polly loves her mom, the only parent she knows. The secrets her mother are hiding really should have been told to Polly. Frustration takes over. Her neighbor is hot, and Polly has harbored feelings for him for a while. He is a dragon shifter, he is hot, and apparently he isn’t into women who are virgins and being with her. Yes they are friends, but she wants and dreams of a lot more, especially lately. How will she get him to realize what is right in front of him?
Daily walks together, a start for them. There is something different about today’s walk. Polly is frustrated and upset, again from her mother. Gilbert is itching to tell Polly some of his secrets, but knows he really can’t. Feelings they both do not want to discuss is an angry tide between them. Here is where the walk today is different…..a possible kidnapping of Polly. Gilbert jumps into action, Polly is wanting to kick butt. She doesn’t really have the chance, but there is now a threat to Gilbert’s Queen Dragon’s life….this is NOT good. He is going to have to protect her, and he is going to have to tell her what he knows, and it may hurt.
Back at Polly’s friends/employer’s house, Gilbert and the other dragon shifters (from books 1-4) are gathering. Shane and Gilbert go off to talk, while Polly plays with Shane (her boss’) kid and talking to his mate. Gilbert is told that with this new threat he has to come clean with Polly, it is to help save all of their lives. There is also a secret that Gilbert is going to have to tell her that really Polly’s mom needed to tell her. This discussion does not go well. Polly at first laughs, then she gets angry. Gilbert understands but can’t handle her avoiding him. Once she has met her father, the one she didn’t know she had, and learns of the other things that are going to change her life completely, she has learned to face this and believe what is being told to her. She is going to have to rely on Gilbert.
There is another location change, and now the little emperor happens upon Polly. She is aware of who he is, and what he does is nothing short of a miracle. Now Polly gets to see who she really is, and Gilbert is there with her when she does. This is amazing, and now their feelings can no longer be hiding from one another. A lot of pressures have been placed on Polly’s shoulders once the secrets Gilbert was holding were shared. As well as more attempts at kidnapping and making sure Polly and Gilbert are unable to meet deadlines and give what needs to be given to stop the curse. They allow their love for one another to show, and they also get a chance to prove their feelings before saying the words to one another. They are mates for life. Both willing to allow this, both fighting the battle together, and both getting to see all the good and bad things they are about to go through with one another. It was not an easy road, and right up until the very end it looks as if they are not going to see anything good or happy at all, but there are a few surprises that happen, including Polly’s mom and dad reuniting, the curse is broken, and best of all Gilbert and Polly are finally getting their happy ever after!
