Book Description: Marilyn Carrington has been hurt by everyone who has ever claimed to love her. Now, she only trusts herself and her .45 caliber pistol. When the sexiest man she has ever seen walks into the bar where she works, she stays clear of him, ignoring his advances, but when he takes the hint and leaves her alone, she finds herself missing him. Marilyn finds she doesn’t care about the danger she senses around him; she wants to know the feeling of love again. Marilyn’s only problem now is whether Showken is really ready for her.
Showken Draglen is known for being a playboy. Loving his freedom, he has never committed to a woman, and doesn’t ever plan to. But when he sees Marilyn, he will do whatever it takes to have her. Unused to rejection, he becomes even more determined to win her. But deep down Showken knows that when she finds out what he truly is, she will run, leaving him with the only option he knows, using his power.
Book Description: Reseda Fire is no ordinary woman. She holds a secret that was forced upon her. Living a double life, she catches the sight of the famous Prince Layern. Instantly drawn to him, she fights the need for more, understanding her life is not the only one she must protect. When Reseda is given the choice between love or freedom, the unthinkable happens.
Prince Layern is no longer celibate, and enjoys each day with a new lady. While on a visit with his brothers, looking for females, he spots Reseda. Her red hair excites him and he wants her in his bed. When she flees, it only encourages him in the chase. Soon, Layern finds out Reseda is more than what he has expected, and that he is now caught up in a fight he knew nothing about. Will Prince Layern betray Reseda, or follow tradition among the Draglen Brothers?
I picked up the first book sometime last year. I thought it was a pretty cool premise to have a book about ten siblings and all dragons. How could you not love something like that? Right? Right! The first book kind of initiates you into the whole world of the Draglen brothers. It gives you a quick glimpse of who's who and what's what. The story itself was steamy enough to keep me reading.
Draken was pretty rude and obnoxious and I loved every second of it. But he turned around, like most men do in these kinds of stories and everything was just fine. Cess was not putting up with his shenanigans no matter how big and mean he was. I applaud you Cess!
In the second book Showken really surprised me. I thought he would be a nasty piece of work, but he turned out to be a bit of a beggar. Say WHAT??? Not only did he do a lot of begging in this book, he bribed his woman with cupcakes, and what he does with those cupcakes.. Mmmmm.... I found Mari a little annoying at times, but that is just a personal thing. The book itself was a bit repetitive for my tastes, but the heat in it was worth the read.
In the third book, Layern went hog wild now that he decides that he no longer wants to be celibate (ahem.. as if) and ends up running into Reseda. She knows who he is but needs to steer clear of him. Just like the other two brothers, he ends up finding out who she is and what she is up to. This book was different from the two above and I think it had more emotional elements to it. Layern goes against the grain, if you will, and he gets himself into a bit of a bind. Reseda, finally gets her "say" and gets the home and family she always wished for.
I am not going to give these books my usual 4 to 5 star ratings because they do need some work. I think with some good editing and clean up, these books can be really awesome!
3.5 stars
Until next time!
