I had such high hopes for this book with it's amazing cover and interesting storyline, but the first paragraph should have clued me in. When the story opens, the hero is washing and drying his dishes. I personally love a domestic man, but that is a strange and boring way to begin a book about an alpha hero.
I kept reading and the author did suck you into having feelings for both the characters. Everything was going quite well until the writer decided to suddenly dump all the hero's secret backstory onto the heroine at once. Not only that, but the heroine was okey-dokey with him being an immortal dragon. There was no angst, no hesitation. It just was not realistic at all.
Immediately following the unveiling of the secret, they have sex. It seemed rushed, but I kept reading until I found the most glaring error I think I have ever stumbled upon. I just do not see how the writer and editor missed this. While the girl was giving the guy a blow job, he was whispering in her ear. No, he was not in dragon form at the time. That actually could be physically possible. But unless he had a magic spine....
I HATE to give up on a book. I will keep going through almost anything. But right after they had sex for the first time, they each professed their love for each other. Ok. The secrets are all out, they've had sex, they are in love and know it, the hero has the financial and magical means to get the heroine out of her dilemma....why keep reading?
So I stopped. This would have been an ok short story but there just seemed no reason to go on.
This review was from a free arc from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Rated Unfinished
