Only for those I love would I traipse into the merciless Northlands to risk life, limb, and my exquisite beauty. But do they appreciate it? Do they say, “Gwenvael the Handsome, you are the best among us–the most loved of all dragons?” No! For centuries my family has refused to acknowledge my magnificence as well as my innate humility. Yet for them, and because I am so chivalrous, I will brave … the worst this land has to offer.
So here I stand, waiting to broker an alliance with the one the Northlanders call The Beast. A being so fearful, the greatest warriors will only whisper its name. Yet I, Gwenvael, will courageously face down this terrifying. . .woman? It turns out the Beast, a.k.a. Dagmar Reinholdt, is a woman–one with steel-gray eyes and a shocking disregard for my good looks. Beneath her plain robes and prim spectacles lies a sensual creature waiting to be unleashed. Who better than a dragon to thaw out that icy demeanor?
And who better than a beast to finally tame a mighty dragon’s heart?

What A Dragon Should Know (Dragon Kin #3) by G.A. Aiken – I’ve gotten really attached to the characters in this series, and I hit a point where I was pretty sure that I would need to write a nasty letter to the author for killing my favorite character. So it took me longer to finish this than it should have because I refused to let anything bad …
This is a match made under Machiavelli’s star. Two shameless cynical calculating manipulative intriguers come together and recognize the other as their soulmate despite their differences and their respective agendas. I cannot think of Gwenvael or Dagmar as heroes; they are not the stuff that heroes are made of. Still, their antics, however …
I love Gwenvael, and seeing Dagmar take him down a couple of pegs. Hilarious book, wonderful to see that he was put with someone who isn’t your typical gorgeous blonde princess who is gorgeous but an airhead.
This book gave me all the fells. I laughed, I cried, and I was so happy.
Dagmar Reinholdt, the Beast of the Northlands sends a letter to Annwyl saying she has information about someone wanting to kill her unborn children. Annwyl sends Gwenvael the Handsome to investigate. Unfortunately the meeting doesn’t go well and he has to find a new way to …
Gwenvael the handsome and magnificent knows his family doesn’t believe he will be able to pull off meeting “The Beast” successfully, but Gwenvael has no doubt he will be able to charm “the beast” with his wit and intellect. Of course, Gwenvael doesn’t realize that the woman with the spectacles and most hideous dress before him is none other than …
So, we finally get to Gwenvael’s story. What I loved most about this book in comparison to the others, was all of the side stories going on. It didn’t pull focus from the main couple though as they were involved in everything going on around them. Gwenvael met his match in Dagmar, not only did she not fall for his little games, but she’s a strong …
Gwenval the Handsome has finally met his match in a brilliant Northerner nicknamed The Beast. With Dagmar “The Beast” Reinhold, nothing is as it seems. She hides a brilliant mind that runs the Reinhold family in secret.
I can’t imagine how the author actually dreamed up the perfect woman for Gwenval. It must have been very difficult.
I love this …
