I received this book from the author.

Dragon shifters!!  YES PLEASE!!!

This was a great story about Rog and one of his unmated dragon brothers Hark.  They are flying through the countryside looking for food when Rog can FEEL his mate crying out for his help.

The brothers run to her rescue. Rog does everything he can to show his true self to Grace since he saw what an epic mistake it was for his brothers to hide their dragon side from the mates in previous books.    Hark finds it hilarious that his brother is dying wanting to be with his mate but also wanting to learn about her before taking it to the next level.  But Rog is STRUGGLING with his mating ritual needs.

Grace is a fierce woman who has been raising her family’s cattle for over 10 years alone without any help.  She is a scrappy woman who finds lost items from the apocalypse and makes good use of them.  When Rog and Hark appear she isn’t worried but also fears how she feels about Rog.

The group find some unexpected things in the mountain but also can’t deny the pull of the mating.  Enter Indra and Zeru who enter the call from Rog to help complete the mating…holy hot tamale!!  That was something fun to read!

The story of what they find in the mountain, Grace’s family, and the new dragons made me go hrmmmmm…I can’t wait to read more and see what happens with the new dragons.

The apocalypse had been and gone.
Those left banded together for survival, creating safety from the chaos.
They succeeded.

Faith wanted more, she wanted to live, to love, fly free. More than survival, Faith craved adventure. Leaving home, seeking a new life, all that ceased when she witnessed her sister being abducted-by dragons, creatures shrouded in myth. Determined to rescue her, Faith begins an adventure she never wants to end.
Dragon shifter Crag follows his heart, hunting for his fated mate. Once he finds her, Crag is determined to keep her safe, from all threats. Admitting he is a dragon shifter and involved in her sister’s kidnapping may be the end of them.
Until the interference of a race of dragons desperate for survival grasps their only chance, stealing Faith and drawing Crag along to save her.

Crag leaned over, snagging a little piece of pink cloth from the floor. Clenching his fist, he lifted it to his nose, the scent assaulting his nostrils. Inhaling, the spiciness pervaded his lungs, curling inside of him, clenching his gut. Snapping his eyes open, Crag breathed in the scent in again, savoring it. His dick twitched. Lowering his hand, he gazed at the delicate panties. The scent assuring him they belonged to his mate. Lifting them again to his nose, he took another deep sniff, enjoying the spicy bouquet and imprinting the scent of his mate forever onto his soul.
He turned at the gasp behind him. Hope, his brother’s mate looked at him in disgust.
“Is that necessary?”
His lips twitched. “Her scent is strongest in what she wore closest to her body.” He raised his brow, daring her to argue with him.
“Hmpf.” Hope shook her head and gestured for him to leave the room. “Just find my sister.”
Crag shoved the pink panties in his pocket. He didn’t need them, but he wanted them. Pleased with having something of his mate’s, he quirked a grin at Hope. Patting Hope on the head he turned and left. The growl from her was just a bit of icing on the cake. Crag shook his head passing Hope’s grandmother. The twitch of his lips the only sign of his amusement.

I received this book from the author for free off her webpage during a sale.

I love dragon stories!!  Totally love them.  This is the first story in a series, and I am stoked.  I will say I read book 3 first BUT you can totally read this in any order.  Anywho, that is just my little boo boo.

This book starts out and we meet hatchlings Ari, Crag, Hark, Rog, Juevatorj and Belisa.  They are coming out of the cave and immediately Ari feels pain.  His mother informs him that is his mate’s pain.  She sends Ari and Crag out to find the unknown mate.

Ari is a bit nervous because what is she isn’t really his mate?  He really has no clue except once he SEES Hope he knows she is the one for him.  He does make a slight Boo Boo annnnnnd welllllll he steals her. Now Now he does it to protect her buuuuut yeah…its prolly gonna cause issues later for him.

Hope is in pain when 2 men appear and help her injury.  She is drawn to Ari and doesn’t understand why.  But she is throwing all care to the wind and letting what may be happen because she has never felt this way with anyone from her family block.  We learn from Hope that people used to live alone but with the apocalypse they have started to form “Families” or “Blocks”

Poor Crag is not thrilled to be stuck with Ari and Hope all up in each other faces but then Ari starts the change and there is no stopping Hope from becoming a dragon.  AGAIN, Ari kiiinda should have had a talk with his mate because it is surely going to cause issues for him later.

I really enjoyed the introduction to the series.  It’s a great way to learn the characters and their personalities plus learn about the world.
