By far the best bundle I have purchased on Amazon. This is the first time I've read G.A. Aiken but it definitely won't be the last.  These books have everything you need, really cool story lines, badass characters, strong female characters that are more than just their looks, sexy heroes who are dragon shifters, and steamy, steamy love scenes...oh and war, blood and guts.  First off...this bundle is not in order.  It doesn't include the first two books in the series but after reading all these books I don't really feel the need to go back and read the first two.  Anyway...don't start with the first book, start with:What a Dragon Should Know (#2 in the bundle, #3 in the series).  This is the story of Gwenveael the Handsome and Dagmar Reinholdt, The Beast of the Northlands.  Gwenveael is sent on a mission to the Northlands to question Dagmar on what she knows about saving Queen Annwyl's babies (these names are a nightmare, but the story is well worth it).  Gwenveael doesn't want to do it but can't turn down Annwyl's request and so sets off to what he thinks will be a boring and easy meet with The Beast, Dagmar.  But Dagmar is anything but easy.  This story is by far the funnies in the bundle.  There were times I had to hold back laughter in the middle of the night so I wouldn't wake my husband and baby.Last Dragon Standing (#3 in the bundle, #4 in the series).  This book is about Ragnar the Cunning and Keita the Vicious.  Keita is cunning, beautiful and has a secret she wants no one to know.  Ragnar has to take her back to the Southlands.  A task he really doesn't want to deal with.  The scrapes Keita gets Ragnar in are funny, and you really get to know more of the other characters in this book. You also get a lot of background on the secondary characters which helps to understand whats happening in the last two books.The Dragon Who Loved Me (#1 in the bundle, #5 in the series) is the story of Rhona and Vigholf, Ragnar's brother.  This was a fun story, but he romance kind of takes a back seat to the main event of the books, which is the war going on between the Southlands and the Irons.  It was good, but I liked the first two better.  They were a bit more lighthearted and fun.  This one is all seriousness and bloody battles.How to Drive a Dragon Crazy (#4 in the bundle, #6 in the series) is the story of Eibhear and Izzy.  After reading all the books I was really looking forward to reading Izzy's and Eibhear's story.  I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in the romance though.  The book as a whole is really good.  You get more into the characters and war, but the romance takes a backseat to everything else.As a whole this is an awesome bundle to read.  The books are really engaging and you really get into what is going on.  The books are long though and take a lot out of you.  Don't start unless you have a lot of time to commit.  The names in the books drove me crazy.  I couldn't pronounce any of them.  But its worth getting to know all the characters and reading how they interact with each other.  The stories are bloody. I actually recommended my husband read them because I know he would like the battle scenes.  Oh and the love scenes are really steamy and sometimes funny. ;)  G.A. Aiken is a master storyteller and I really enjoyed delving into the dragon series.  I totally recommend this bundle.  You get a lot of story for your money! ;)
