I was given an ARC in the exchange for an honest review. 

If you love when the romance is the main plot of a book with some dragon elements, this is the book for you. 

Personally, this book wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. I absolutely loved the forbidden romance aspect. The tension between the two main characters was great. I loved the writing style. 

But somewhere along the way, I realized I may have mis-interpreted the premise. I was expecting more dragons and fighting. There was some, but as stated, not what I was expecting. I never fully got engrossed in the story. 

The author’s writing style is fantastic and I loved how she wrote, but the storyline just wasn’t for me. I still plan on reading the second book, just to see how things resolve. I’m also expecting there will be more action scenes, considering how it ended.
