The Blurb
Try a little dragon tenderness.
I am Glheanna the Decimator. I am a warrior. A soldier. I know no fear. No pain. No mercy. I do, however, know acute embarrassment! How could I not after getting dumped by a bastard dragon in front of my own troops? So I tuck tail and return to my cave, drowning my sorrows in ale—as is my family’s way. But instead of leaving me to my misery, I’ve been summoned to the Dragon Queen’s court.
As if my life wasn’t pathetic enough, Her Majesty now has me escorting the highborn Bram the Merciful through dangerous territories—not exactly the best use of my military training. And just so he can negotiate with enemy dragons instead of battling them? Honestly, what has my world come to? Then again…Bram is quite easy on the eyes. And the perfect distraction for what ails me. Perhaps I’m looking at all this the wrong way. Maybe there is a place for a little “mercy” in my life…

My Review
Once again I’m in love with this backstory Dragon Kin Series.
I love reading about how the older dragons got together. Bram and Ghleanna’s
story was especially good because revealed how such a benign dragon ended up
with a dragonwarrior and it introduced me to the the ocean dragons.
Other than it being funny, romantic, spicy, and all around fantastic,
I don’t have much to say about this novella. So good.
I purchased this book from Amazon.
I give this five out of five ax shaped chocolate bars.
Great review! Sounds like a fun series to get lost in... :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather. It's the best.
DeleteIt was fun seeing such opposites together. And that she was the more aggressive. Always interesting :)
ReplyDeleteIf I ever met G.A. Aiken I do believe I'd cry.
DeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteLol, Celestine. I know how you feel about fantasy.
