Not for me. Smut is definitely there, but the story and characters were so under developed! The actual smut honestly got boring and repetitive, along with the writing. 
Could have been good, but it was a big let down.

I wish there was more about the main character before being thrown into “dragons and sex”. The “amnesia” aspect was very frustrating, we get it, she has a concussion! But also, maybe wait until after the main symptoms of the concussion have passed before jumping into the smut. This aspect of the book really didn’t sit well.

This was okay …
Based on this read, I’m open to exploring more from this author and in this world …

I say just okay because, while I enjoyed the world and do think the author has a talent for world-building, I found other aspects implausible. For example, the MCs know each other for something like under 48 hours before they’re saying things like “she’s my heart and soul”, etc. I get instalove, but this was a bit heavy on the ‘insta’ part for me, I guess.

The characters were a little bland, they could do with some development, but likable.

A cute, quick read to keep me company at work and during workouts, so yes, I will likely explore more from the author, at least a bit.


3 stars.

Audio -
The narration was okay, not a narrator I’d specifically seek out, but not bad.

This was a very quick and smutty fated mates book. The storyline was there however personally I feel there could have been a lot more depth provided, longer to fall for one another and I would have loved if Naomi’s change was explored more.

Another great story from Krystal Shannan. Col is a dragon shifter from another world, Naomi is a lost and hurting photographer/journalist. Together can they find a new beginning, and a new life together. I can't wait for the next story in this new series.

A dragon intent on vengeance and a human woman in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is the first book in a new series by the amazing Krystal Shannon. An insta-love type story, I really enjoyed the characters. There was plenty of action, steamy bedroom antics and of course a twist I didn’t expect coming.

An adventurous book with lots of excitement and plenty of romance. One huge dragon hell bent on revenge. He’s chasing two other dragons who are murderers. What he didn’t expect when caught them was a small human woman lying unconscious in the snow. The story brings alien shifters to Earth and they are definitely not prepared for our world or the snow of an Alaskan winter. Action, romance and some hot soulmate action.

I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of the book.
