Okay! I admit it... I thought this book might fall into the rather full genre of paranormal romance with no plot but lots of sexy time. Whoo! I was pleasantly surprised. The author does a great job of minor world building, mythology, and introducting warring factions.Stig Wyvern served and deployed with Cora Cardenas's older brother over sea. Coming home, he establishes himself in a gorgeous home safe with old magic, and surrounded by forests. One night when he is about to start an agonizing cycle in which he has to keep himself locked away from others, Cora bangs on his front door. Due to poor choices made by her brother before his death, Cora has herself in a tangled mess and is running for her life. Keeping his attraction under control with codes of honor (you don't sleep with a friend's kid sister), Stig finds himself housing Cora in the guestroom while he locks himself in the basement during his dragon cycle.Drawn by curiosity and a very lusty dream, Cora creeps down and eventually finds Stig's secrets and becomes entrapped in his world. Due to a centuries old feud between Knights and Dragons that started with a forbidden love, the Knights are hot on the trails of Stig and using Cora as bait.This story was a very fun romp and I enjoyed that storyline and action that kept the story moving quickly until the end. I enjoyed both Stig's and Cora's characters and their love for each other. Looking forward to the next in the series.Note: Thank you to Netgalley.com and Forever (Grand Central Publishing)for providing me with this book for review.
