4 Star review

“The Destroyer is a great pretender. His power is to be feared. He is seduction incarnate, and all will follow him into battle without knowing the truth. He will destroy humanity, so the Drakan will starve and be forced to feed on the weakest of our own race. If the Destroyer comes to power, then this shall come to pass.”

Rena Drake had no choice to become an enforcer of her kind. She is a Drakan. She cleans up the mess her dragon brethren make to help keep their kind hidden from the humans. When a rogue Drakan begins killings their own, Rena has little choice in doing what needs to be done, even if it means going into another clans territory, which could cost her her life. Then her world is rocked when her aunt tells her of the prophecy. She is the one who needs to find the Destroyer and defeat him. In the end her choices will affect everyone.

“There will be a child born of two descendants, whose power is greater than all who have come before him. A child to rule all, to make peace with the gods as his forefathers failed to do, and return us to our homeland.”

“But there are two sides to every prophecy, Rena- the light and the dark. One side gives hope, but the other delivers despair.”

What Rena wasn’t expecting was Special Agent Noah Ford to come into her life. There is no denying the chemistry between them but Rena is confused as to why her powers don’t work on him. He seems to know an awful lot about her for someone who is careful to keep her existence scarce. When he offers to assist her and protect her she begins to realize there is more to him than meets the eye.  The pull they feel towards each other makes no sense to her but Noah seems to understand and he refuses to let her in on his secret.

“No matter what you’re feeling right now or what happens in the future I want you to know how much I want you. I’ve dreamed of you,” he said, running his finger down the slope of my cheek. “and from now on you’re mine.”

“Excuse me?” I said, ire raise at his presumptuousness. “I don’t belong to anyone but myself.”

“Not anymore. And just as you belong to me, I belong to you as well. Your body burns for me just as mine burns for you. I know it goes against every part of your nature, but I want nothing more than to protect you. And to love you.”

Unfortunately for Rena, all clues are pointing to Julian as the possible Destroyer. Julian is the very powerful leader of the Belgae clan. When she meets up with him, her inner dragon goes berserk with want and need. When they kiss, the blue mating fire engulfs them. The thing is the blue mating fire is a phenomenon that hasn’t been seen since their races banishment.  She is shocked that her enemy is destined to be her mate and she knows her clan would never approve of this.  But her dragon craves him, needs him and she has these feelings she cannot fight, try as she may. *insert smoking hot sex on the ceiling* 

“I’ll be forever grateful to the gods for choosing you for my lifemate, but love has no place in the midst of battle. I’m sorry that you have been burdened with such an emotion towards me.”

Rena is torn between her need to two very different men and she must choose either watch her people’s dream of returning home turn to ask or kill the one destined to be her mate.

“I’ll give you the time you need to get things straightened out with your clan. But if you take too long I will come after you. You are my lifemate. We belong together. And I will not live without you.”

Liliana Hart created such beautiful, magical creatures with the dragons disguised as humans. The chemistry the characters have with each other. Poor Rena was caught in the middles of two gorgeous but very different men. Although she was never able to fully explore things with Noah, there is something there between them. The sex scenes with Julian and Rena WOW, be sure to have a fire extinguisher ready. 

I loved that this had dragons in it. I have to admit, I am used to reading about witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves, angels and fairies and the dragons were a breath of fresh air for me. I look forward to seeing where Rena ends up.

A fantastic story with heartache, suspense, romance and the shock factor a wonderful read!
