The heroine of this series is fantastic. She is kind, brave, patient, plucky and funny.  She is willing to die for those she loves and wants to become queen and empress to improve lives.The hero appears in the first book to be irresponsible, thoughtless and lacking in honor.  He refuses to take up his duties as king or emperor unless he can have a mate he loves by his side.  Not very impressthatimpressive but he is good looking and a dragon so we overlook his faults.  Besides the heroine loves him and she is worth putting up with him.But in the second book he shows himself to be not merely irresponsible but completely without honor or conscience.  This is the last man who should be king as he cares about no one but himself. When he thinks his mate has been killed he goes on a murderous rampage to kill every man woman and child related to the 4 people who plotted her death.  When he is told there are riots in the city and that "Females are being ravaged in the gutters, younglings beaten within an inch of their lives, and innocent males strung up from the battlements."  He doesn't even care.As stated by others he gives his love's adopted son away because he doesn't desereve happiness with her gone.  When she is found to be alive he still sends the child away to almost certain death.  I guess it is only important that he himself be happy.This is the "hero" the author tries to palm off on us.  I hope she realizes that it takes more than good looks and power to be a hero but from this series it appears not.
