review 1: Setting: Wicked Little Things (Morgan’s here now gone later magic shop); Kaden’s neglected house, where he slept tucked in against his gold hoard; Tess’ apartment;Theme: hope after thinking all is lost; love; Characters:Tess McGarry: kicked out of house when a teen; makes her way through with odd jobs and dream of singing – has been part of various bands that lasted 6 months or so; between bands now; stops in Morgan La Fay’s shop, and Morgan ‘feels’ her spirit, and matches her to Kaden – giving her a job to return the necklace to him;Kaden St. George: dragon warrior; on his world, hunters had attacked (after many of their kind already killed), and he was pulled through a portal to earth, thinking his family was all killed; he resolved to not care, to simply... more hide from the hunters, protecting his horde; Morgan Le Fay: a couple of hundreds of years earlier, she had tried to get Kaden to go home – at his family’s request, but he believed all dead, and would not respond – so she took his dragyn-ka, necklace/symbol of himself that he would one day give to his chosen dragoness; when she meets Tess, she can ‘feel’ Tess is the woman & future dragoness for him; so she tasks her with returning the necklace, while informing hunters where he is – pushing him into defending her;Summary:A sweet simple story of two who are a bit lost… (one more than the other)… who feel a connection when first meet… he claims her as his (the dragyn-kp necklace will not come off of her), she feels safe with him… though she takes off when the hunters show up, he tracks her down … and moves in…And they make love – and she feels complete – and he knows the transformation has begun, but does not warn her… he is trying to keep his heart out of it… and after a few weeks when she makes it clear she is not a possession, she has the right to make choices for herself, and shares her dreams of singing, he makes sweet love to her, takes the necklace when she sleeps (thinking that will stop her from changing to dragon), and leaves…But she is having none of that – and returns to his house, where hunters have been waiting… they take her hostage, he comes in dragon form to rescue her, he is hurt by their arrows… and in anger, she changes to dragons, and stomps them, and burns them… and he wakes up in her arms, in his world (Morgan showed up to open the portal)… ahhhhMemorable scenes:Wicked Little Things – was tough to resist. What did a place like that carry? Elegant whips? Golden handcuffs? … deals in the magical, the maligned and them isunderstood.
review 2: This was an enjoyable story. I liked this story and thought it was pretty good, including a little bit of a plot to bring some interest and some hot sex scenes (which makes any story better). I would have given it a 3.5 stars if possible but liked it enough to bump it up to 4 rather than down to 3. I actually listened to the audio version of this story and I wasn't thrilled with the way the narrator sounded when doing the hero's voice but it wasn't bad enough to ruin it. If you read the story then no worries! :) less
