This is the second book in this series set in Mystic Springs about dragon shifters and those they love. These are quite short reads but they pack a punch and the standard of both writing and editing makes them a dream to read.This series has the longest title- Dragon Shifters of Derkesthai Academy , but don't let that put you off. Set amongst magical creatures the author makes it all feel very current and relevant to situations happening in the world today. In this book the story centres on Noah a dragon shifter working in the American special forces but his mission goes badly wrong and he's captured by an enemy. Barely escaping with his life he rushes home to his wife April , an oracle but it looks as if danger is already heading to Mystic Springs. April has the gift of sight but what she sees will tear her and Noah apart! All April has ever wanted is time and love with her dragon but it looks as if that time has finally ran out!This book follows on from To Have And To Hold and I seriously recommend reading that book first if possible. This is a standalone but characters from the previous book do appear here and it just adds something to the fun. Set in a world of dragon mages , magic and hordes this author has truly brought something unique to the paranormal table. This book features a happily married couple! Yes I know it's a shocking premise and so unlike so many other romances out there. Instead of tracking the meeting and subsequent romantic journey of the hero and heroine we are treated to grown ups battling to keep their marriage and relationship alive! I haven't read any other paranormal romances quite like this and genuinely applaud the author for this unusual approach.A compelling story with strong characters that surely finally deserve to be a normal happy family? World building that keeps the readers interest and even a school for magic that hopefully will churn out heroes and heroines for other stories. Yes I enjoyed it and will definitely seek out other books by Ms Lucas.
