Taken By The Dragon by Aria Winter, Jessica Grayson
5.0
I don’t read a lot of paranormal or shifter romance, but I couldn’t put this down.
I saw the synopsis in one of my Facebook reader groups and I was intrigued so I grabbed it on KU. The actual writing style is a little different than I’m used to - different descriptors and such [stav anyone?], but it was truly entertaining.
Both of our MCs were interesting, well written characters that I understood. Things did come together fairly easily. I was hoping for a little more action in the climactic moment. But that said, I did truly enjoy it.
The whole story is a play on multiple tropes put together in a way to make it interesting and different. According to my reader group there is another book from the early 2010s with a similar premise, but I haven’t read it. Frankly, the synopsis didn’t seem as interesting to me. But this is all hearsay. It doesn’t matter to me if someone else had a similar idea - frankly, there is no such thing as a completely new romance anymore. It’s all about how the story is told. How the tropes weave in and out of each other and how well the author tells the story. Well, these two authors tell a wonderfully interesting story. So interested that I was up all night reading this book and its immediately available sequel. And I have no regrets!
