4-4.5 starsThis was a very good story. I liked Morgan, Ladon and Eben and the story was interesting and engaging.Morgan is a mage. She's taking care of her younger sisters and brother since the rest of their family was killed. She's captured by a bad mage and ends up being thrown in to a cage with Ladon. She recognizes him as a Dragon in man form and tries to help him. When she gives him her blood to heal him she thinks she's giving her life to save him. She ends up very surprised when she wakes up next to him later and he wont let her go.Ladon is a young Dragon (only about 200 years old) and is just getting ready to go in to his first molt (his transition into adult status). He's betrayed by someone in his family and sold in to captivity but the last thing he expects is to find his mate in the cage with him. He's astounded that the mate is also human but he can't mistake the connection he feels to her that proves she was meant to be his. When she saves him, he saves her in return.Morgan and Ladon don't get much time to know each other as Ladon is almost immediately going in to his molt. He has time to fly them to his lair and then he goes to get help to keep her safe while his transformation occurs. He goes to Eben...who is the oldest of the Dragons and unmated. He convinces Eben to come with him and help him. Eben goes, not expecting to find his mate and Ladon's are the same.I have to admit at this point I felt a little bad for Morgan. She feels the connection to Ladon but she feels she has to leave to go save her siblings. Everything happens so fast they don't really get a chance to know each other at all before his molt starts. When Eben shows and recognizes her as is mate he doesn't even say hi...he pretty much just jumps her (not that she minds for long). Fortunately, because of the way the dragon mating goes, it forms a mystical connection between her and the 2 Dragons which makes them relive all of each other's memories and have a mental connection when they can all speak to each other. This mating connection of course kicks up the emotional connections too so it ends up being an insta-love situation (but with the mystical mating connection it works for me). My only real complaint about this book is that I wish there had been more character/relationship building in the beginning...I think if there had been more of that I would have given this story 5 stars instead of 4.After the mating is complete, Ladon and Eben realize they must go save Morgan's siblings. They save her family but when they do they realize just how bad the evil mages are getting and decide something must be done. They go to the Dragon Council and convince the Dragon warriors to help. All this and they still have to find out who betrayed Ladon as well. There's not much in the way of action lulls and I had a hard time putting this book down because I just had to see what happened next. It all comes together very well and I liked how the story ended (especially the final action scene where Morgan gets engage in a little magical fighting). The epilogue sets things up for the next book in the series which I'll definitely bet reading when it comes out.Overall this was a really good story. I really liked all three of the characters and found the story to be engaging and very enjoyable. I'd recommend this book. Thumbs up! :D
