BLURB

Deadly secrets. Hidden enemies. Colliding histories.

She’s supposed to be dead.

For Rowan Valor, faking her own death is a regular necessity. How else would an immortal dragon manage to live in a place like Manhattan for close to three hundred years? But changing her identity leaves the community center she founded vulnerable, and for the sake of the children, she must find a way to undo the damage.

He’s leading a new life.

Human detective Nick Grandstaff entered law enforcement to escape his violent roots. But closing the door on his past has resulted in an unnatural obsession with his work. Perhaps it’s for the best that his longest relationship has been with his dog. What woman would choose to be with someone with such a dark and tangled history?

To have a future together, both must face their past.

When Nick investigates a case that leads him to Rowan’s door, their passionate connection promises to heal old wounds and grant them both the once-in-a-lifetime love they deserve. But fighting a common enemy entangles them in the dangerous supernatural underworld of Manhattan where power is shifting, and unbeknownst to Rowan, a former ally has become a deadly enemy.

CHRISTINA’S FOUR STAR REVIEW

I’m honestly not even sure how this series has managed to slip through my fingers. That being said, I have to also admit that this is the first time I’ve heard of this author (hangs head in shame). Only to find out that she writes the EXACT genre I pine over. Seriously…this is just becoming more and more embarrassing by the second.

Although this is the third installment of the series, and as someone who hasn’t read the previous books, it felt as though this could be read as a standalone. The author does a great job filling in the spaces that a new reader (such as myself) won’t feel as though they’ve missed anything in relation to the supporting characters.

Rowan is a dragon. Ok, she’s obviously more than just a dragon. In fact, she’s the only female dragon of her family living on Earth and not in the other realm Paragon. She’s beautiful, kind, caring and is pissed. Why? Because someone is trying to purchase land that would destroy everything she loves. So what better way than to get even, right? Except getting even only sparks a chain of events that will change her life….for eternity.

Nick is a NYPD detective. In fact, he’s one of the best who’s recently been awarded for his heroism. He’s a handsome, attentive and caring man, so when his partner asked him to cover a security detail shift for him, it was no big deal. That is until something comes up missing from the home he was charged to protect and he can’t remember a thing about what happened. That’s totally not like him and everything seems…off. Especially when he can’t get a certain woman off the brain.

This book has many qualities that I look for in a book. Obviously the chemistry between Rowan and Nick is scorching, but it was also the mystery of finding out the “who dun it” aspect of the story. We’re introduced to multiple paranormal beings and the drama keeps us on our toes.

I’m happy to admit that I’m extremely intrigued now and can’t wait to see what the next book will bring. Bring on those DRAGONS!!!!!!
