Review: More suspense than romance
Rating: 3 out of 5

Dragons did not become extinct. Instead, they chose to change into more familiar animals, birds mostly and in at least one case, into a human male, like Noah, who chose humankind for its music.Circumstances brig Noah the dragon and Izzy, a drug addict and thief together. In an effort to help Izzy, Noah contacts Lila, her sister, who immediately comes to her sister's side. When Izzy is killed, Lila woes revenge. Meanwhile, it is discovered that Noah's blood can heal and he becomes the target of a desperate sick millionaire.I found the romantic aspects of the book really awkward and about as romantic than a rock. All these clinical medical terms with no feelings attached is a turn off. The sex scenes do not add to the story nor do they convey the emotional feelings between the two protagonists.This being said, there is a lot to like about this book. The characters are nicely done. I really liked the dragon within the man and the slow transformation of Lila from hurt, and over aggressive woman to a softer settled woman. Noah, the dragon is different from your typical hero and you can almost feel the weight of time and experience behind his moves. The thriller/suspense parts of the book are gripping and the best part of the plot. Chose this book as a thriller and not as romance novel and you will not be disappointed.
