Susannah Scott's second book continues the saga of a group of dragon shifters who own and operate the opulent Crown Jewel Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.Dragon Lieutenant, Leo Ryan is every woman's dream man and casino hostess, Tee has been dreaming about the two of them together for quite some time. But Leo keeps sending Tee mixed signals. Like a long, intense kiss followed by a warning from Leo that they can never be together. The problem is, although Tee doesn't know it, that Leo is a shape-shifting dragon in need of a mate to restore his waning dragon form to full vigor. Tee doesn't wear his mark, the mark that would signify that Tee is his true mate. If Leo and Tee choose to be together without a mate's mark, Leo dragon will not survive.Tee is a Paiute Native American who has chosen to live off-reservation in order to earn enough money to improve the reservation's school. Her father is Chief of the tribe. His more traditional views are being challenged by more progressive tribe members. There is growing disagreement between the two factions that could prove dangerous for Tee. Leo vows to protect her.This book is as satisfying as the first book, "The Luck of the Dragon". The contrast between the glizt and glamour (and excesses) of Las Vegas and the beauty of Tee's desert home is striking. The characters are well-developed. Leo and Tee are engaging. Old secrets test them, enemies plot to destroy them, but they stand strong. The love scenes are believable (and steamy). They are placed thoughtfully within the storyline, not just thrown in to draw your attention away from the lack of storyline as in other books I've read. The plot moves along well and holds the reader's interest. I was never tempted to skip to the end to escape tedious story-telling. I enjoyed reading this book so much, I bought a second copy and gave it as a gift. This book is a winner. I hope you try it.
