The Protector by Abigail Owen
5.0
4.5 stars
I have to say this latest book in the Fire’s Edge series happens to be my favorite so far. As a female dragon shifter Lyndi Chandali has been taught that she is really not all that useful except as a political pawn. Rather than wallowing in her fate, she decides to make a worthwhile life for herself by fighting alongside her enforcer brother and taking in orphaned dragons and providing them a home. Because she knew she could never be a true mate, Lyndi never allowed her attraction to the beta enforcer Levi Rowtag ever come to light. They have known each other for centuries and have always circled around one another. Levi always felt the connection between them but due to multiple misunderstandings throughout the years the only feeling he felt from Lyndi was contempt. Even though he believed she hated him, he always felt the need to protect her. But circumstances have now changed, Levi had to make a decision between duty to his king and a chance to finally claim his mate.
Like in the previous three books a lot happens in this book, almost too much, there were so many moments that had me at the edge of my seat. What I really loved about this book was the devotion Levi felt towards Lyndi and her orphans. When the two finally revealed how they felt towards each other, you could feel the connection between the two. I adored all of the orphaned dragons, they did provide some comic relief at times. And it was wonderful catching up with some of the characters in the previous books.
All in all a wonderful read! And with the way this book ended, I am now anxiously awaiting for Rune’s story!
