review 1: This was the first story in a new series and I was so excited when I saw that it was about dragons and men in kilts. Yummo!When rumor comes to the chieftain of the clan of a dragon near one of the northern towns, he sends his son Ian to check it out. Ian has doubts of a real dragon and thinks the people are more than likely just trying to make an excuse to avoid the annual tax. He doesn't really care though and is more than happy to be sent away because it allows him to avoid the other duty his father has planned for him- marriage to the daughter of another clan for political purposes. Ian knows its his duty to his clan to strengthen the relations between clans, but he dreads the whole idea and it is his biggest secret why. He doesn't care for females. So off he goes... more to hunt for a dragon.The rumors are not hard to track down and it is then that he encounters another who is also following the rumors. Roarke is another stranger claiming to be a dragon hunter. Ian is drawn to Roarke and decides to tag along with the hunter to search for the supposed dragon. Roarke has his own reasons for hunting the dragon and Ian is soon caught up in something he could have never imagined.I really enjoyed the fantasy-feel to the story and the clean story line. The surprise was welcome and I enjoyed the new world of dragons that were introduced in this story. The highlander backdrop is a lesser element than the fantasy portion. Roarke and Ian were likeable heroes that I was truly rooting for. Now, I'm looking forward to more stories in this new series.
review 2: The combination of dragons and men in kilts had me rushing to buy this book, curious what kind of story Charlie Richards would come up with for the beginning of this new series. Let me tell you, based on what I have read here, it will be a good one! Set in a medieval-feeling Scotland-like environment, this story about a chieftain's second son and the dragon shifter he meets and falls for is a great mix between fairy tale and very hot paranormal story. A great start for this new series!Ian is a man with responsibilities. As the second son of a clan chieftain, his purpose in life is to get married to gain his clan an alliance that will strengthen its position. Never mind that he isn’t interested in women, his father has decided for him and it Is his job to obey. Or is it? When Ian is sent to a remote village to check the rumors about a dragon terrorizing them, and meets said dragon and his pursuer, Ian's world changes. He is very attracted to Roark, but he cannot let his personal preference get in the way of his duty. So, he sets off for home.Roark knows Ian is his "asda", the one he wants to bond with for life, the second he sets eyes on the human. He doesn’t get why Ian seems resistant, but when Ian explains about his responsibilities, he sort of understands. In theory. So he lets him go. Except another dragon is so enchanted with Ian they're far less noble and go after him. That, of course, is not acceptable and Roark's possessiveness (and beginning love) compel him to go after Ian to protect him. And thank God he does!I really liked reading this tale of two very different realities clashing then melding together. This world is a promising one and I'm looking forward to the next installments. If you like the atmosphere of fantasy-like adventures and fairy tale-like endings, if you enjoy reading about men from different cultures clashing then learning to live together, and if you're looking for a fun, hot read, you will probably enjoy this novella as much as I did. less
