Dragon Lover by Donna Grant

Dragon Kings series #5. Spin off of the Dark King series. Paranormal Dagon shifter romance novella. Technically can be read as a stand-alone but many names and situations are mentioned though not really relevant to this specific story.

Kendrick is a Dragon King. As a dragon shifter, he is patrolling and protecting a mountain range when an unseen enemy attacks. Kendrick fights to protect and follows the attacking enemy across the forbidden threshold. He finds himself in the land of elves which the dragons didn’t know existed. He finds they are fighting the same unseen enemy so he decides to stay to find out if the elves have more information that will help them both. 

Esha is a Ranger of the elves. A warrior and protector. She has never seen a dragon before and realizes that if they collaborate, they may get further in defeating the enemy. 

Kendrick and Esha establish a truce and go to the local leader with a plan. As they work together and get to know each other an attraction grows. Can a relationship exist between an elf and a dragon shifter?

A quick and “fated” romance with the odds against the couple. Of course, barriers and opposition must be considered. 

I found Kendrick’s accent to be distracting since I read this story in the printed form. If I had listened to an audiobook, it would have been just his voice. 

“I’d really like to know why we can no’.”

“I donna intend to.” “It doesna…”

I enjoyed the romance and the couple working together to beat the enemy both known and hidden. 

Gripping and adventurous.

The 1001 Dark Nights stories are from the author’s world and only one piece of a whole. 

My rating is for this short story alone and ignores the tendrils not fully explained or missing.  

I received a copy of this from NetGalley.
