Ross McCord will do anything to fulfill his mother's dying wish...protect family above all else. He does his best, keeping their sheep herd healthy and strong as he watches over his crippled father, Achaius, and his pretty but dim sister, Skena. When Chieftain Goth notices Skena's beauty, he demands to use her as a bride-price to complete an alliance with a neighboring clan. Attempting to keep his sister from being heartbroken, Ross embarks on a dangerous mission to earn a boon from Chieftain Goth. He heads north in search of a secret way for his chieftain's warriors to attack the clan who took in Goth's son, Ian. Much to Ross's distress, he's captured by the brawny redhead, Ziethman. He expects to be killed for trespassing, but Ziethman offers a much more pleasurable form of...interrogation. Experiencing sensations he's never imagined, Ross finds himself craving the other man's touch. When Ross learns that Ziethman is more than a man, and is in fact a dragon, can he accept the male's differences and the help he offers, or will it be too much, sending him running back to his clan to fulfill his mission?

Sheri’s Thoughts

Dragons, men who find themselves liking men for the first time, and a loyalty to family make for a quick and entertaining tale. I found myself rooting for Ziethman, who’s seen as a bit of a troublemaker and someone who can’t be trusted with important tasks. Ross on the other hand is a very responsible, very on task human, even going so far as traveling outside his comfort zone to keep his sister from a forced marriage.

I’ll admit that this one wasn’t as good as the others in the series for me. They’re all short, but this one felt like the relationship was way more rushed than it needed to be. The others seemed to focus on the relationship between the dragon and their human mates. This one seemed to focus on Ziethman and his struggles to prove his worth to his brethren.

I enjoyed the dragon fights and the confrontations with humans, but I really wished for more of the romance between Ross and his dragon. I will look forward to more in the series, and hope that they return to the previous romance I’ve come to expect from this series.
