First of all, I can't say I really like this book, nor can I say I didn't really like it. It was kind of an in-between thing. I don't think I would ever read it again if given the chance but I would still want to read on throughout the series. I think the only reason I didn't fall in love with this book was because I didn't like Tai Dawson. She was too stubborn and wouldn't give Darien a chance even though he did everything to please her.
However, other than the problem with one of the protagonists (because I loved Darien), I love this book. I have always wanted to read a dragon shifter romance novel because dragons are amazingly... wow. They're powerful, majestic creatures that rule and triumphs over the sky. And since I love romance, you get an amazing novel when you mix the two together!

I thought this was a well-written, fast paced, original story. I liked Darien, and I thought Tai was realistic, if a little two-dimensional.
My biggest problem is that the book ended with too many loose ends. Too many things were left hanging, which was actually the same problem I had with Jenkins's other book I read, Vala: Agendas. I felt she came to the end of one story thread and just stopped. Kind of abruptly, actually.
As an editor for another publishing house and a published author myself, I would have asked her to tie up all the ends - What is going on with the Inero Dragons? What about Ashley? What's going on there? Is Tai going to ever feel part of the family? Why introduce the Alex "conflict" and never resolve it?
There are just too many open questions. I wish she'd "finished" the story.

My thoughts
Cover: I'm loving it. Yes it is not published by a big publisher and maye the cover is cover abusted out there, but this is exactly how I pictured Tai and Darien. On of my new beloved fictional couples
Book: I signed up for the tour of book two after i found i could read book 1. I took a leap of faith.I could have hated these books.Happy to have read it.
We see Tai, a young lady, around 18 years of age living on a small island in Oceina territory.Wondering why dragons are following her since the age of 13 ish or at least she thinks they are following her in daily routine of life.Her mom tells her that she's been chosen as a sacrifice to the grear oceina dragon. Sacrifices are not uncommon. But is this really a sacrifice?
The writing was easy to follow and not too simplistic like a certain book i read this year.The world building was good but got confused a bit. It is a modern world.They have cell phones but the writing gave me old world, Medieval feel.
It has a dual narration . Tai and Darien POV. But this darien's story.
Darien around the same age as Tai in years. Not human years. He's a dragon, the youngest son of the Oceina lord and touched.What do you think that is?? Water is his element. The element of Oceina. Very kind but the oddball in the family. Members of the family despise him for what he's done. It was not his fault. His birth
Tai was not a kick butting girl. Just a normal girl in and a wall flower in her eyes and can't seem to understand why Darien sees in her.I quite liked her bit bitchy towards Darien but she falls for Darien in the end.
The romance was great. It was real.I was happy they supported each other in the end. It was more adult than YA . New adult.
Felt the loss , the pain of losing a loved one. Politically involved.Enemy caused. A neighboring tribe, a different species. The Inero, FIRE. But are they the real enemy
I quite liked it. Love shifters, love dragons, LOVE dragon shifters.I immediately began reading book two
I was given a review copy by the author

Once upon a time the Great Lord created dragons to protect mankind. 4 types of dragons. 4 different elements
