Jumping away from lycan shifters, Alicia Montgomery is back with a new series and better yet the prequel is FREE! If nothing else, check out this romance with dragons for FREE and fall in love with Alicia like I did. Doing it a little differently, this blog post won’t be that long. I’m giving it a 5 star rating and explaining my thoughts below. I truly cannot wait to see where she takes us on this journey. I love dragons, always have, and am ready for this new adventure.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This story is a short read but packed in a lot of back story and history to lay ground work for the series. I still think you could read the first, when it releases and not be lost (no I haven’t read it… yet), but it is great Alicia gave us this. We meet Hank and Riva who are unlikely people to win at the game of love.
Hank is the CEO and heir to the Blackstone empire. He is broody, grumpy, and I felt miserable. He is going through the motions to keep his family empire alive, but it is costing him so much in return. Knowing he needs an heir to take over, he finds a way to marry for convenience. Little does he know that the marriage will be anything but convenient.
Riva comes home to have her world turned upside down. She doesn’t know what to do but plans to do the only thing she can; save her family. Deciding her own fate, she walks in blind to a marriage to save her father and his legacy. What she doesn’t plan on is feelings to get in the way.
The conflict in this story was perfect in my opinion to solidify the love and reality of the marriage. It crescendos and peaks delivering an ending that warms your heart.
I found this story moved quickly along the timeline. What I liked about it was while quick-moving, I wasn’t lost and had my questions answered. While she did end the story beautifully, Alicia left me wanting more and dropped so many delicious bread crumbs for me to follow with this new series.
Stalk Alicia and tell her I said hi:
