⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This gets 5 beautiful stars for the reasons below. I’m going to be revamping my reviews, so this looks a bit different, but rest assured, you will still get the same details I have always provided.
We have already established my love of dragons so its only natural that I read the second installment in Alicia’s series. It has dragons, lions, bears, and wolves (oh my) LOL. One thing I’ve enjoyed so far is even though Matthew & Jason and Catherine & Christina are twins, they are uniquely them. I like the banter in this story along with the push and pull. Alicia provides a uniqueness so that even though everyone is finding a mate, it is individualized and never the same. Even from her previous series.
This story was a cute read for me. I found the stubbornness of both characters to be funny at times. Other times, you wanted to smack their heads together. Jason and Christina are definitely the twins that want to deny, deny, deny. They fought till the end neither one wanting to admit the truth.
Jason was the more outgoing twin. He was the one to cause trouble. That said, I liked how he would do anything for his brother, no questions asked. When the one thing he’s asked to do leads him to find his mate, he freaks. I had to chuckle at Jason’s dialogue with his dragon. It was like he kept giving pep talks as to why a mate was the BAD idea. When he finally pulled his head from his rear, he fought to win his mate’s heart.
Christina is definitely the stubborn sister. She has an agenda and refuses to let a mate stop her. I liked how Alicia captured vulnerability. She was guarded and scared. When she learned the truth, how she reacted, reflected her stubborn traits. I liked how different she was, yet how similar her and Catherine were. There are also so many secrets she refuses to tell. I feel like Christina’s job was her rebellion from growing up like she did. When revenge becomes something she can taste, she will have an internal war going on. One thing I would have like to have more clarity on was did her sister know or not? I’m assuming so, but I was confused if she did.
Alicia has a unique way of mating the love birds in this series. I like it A LOT! It’s the first dragon series I’ve read that has them mate in this way. KUDOS Alicia!
Overall this one has more humor and stubbornness than the first. There is also a clear development of a larger plot that will unfold during this series (well I hope it will). It has me anxious to see how it all plays out.
This story for me laid a lot of framework for the bigger plot, well at least what I think it’s going to be. It was a fun read for me and wasn’t as suspenseful. I like that it broke up some of the tension with humor. Their reluctance and unyielding ability to accept each other as mates made for a fun read for me.
