I liked this new series by Ms. Van, it is different from her other series. The Elite Dragons are made up of 4 sets of brothers (3 in each set) that have been chemically altered over a span of years. This has made their scences (spelling?)  and strength more powerful and through training has expanded their brain's capacity to 80% instead of 10%. They are tasked with going over the border in Wyoming (where their secret base is) to Canada to rescue 3 women from illeagal organ harvesters but it turns out there are 4 women. The 4th woman was almost dead from hypothermia and the leader of the Dragons Coulter, and his brothers Trace and Corbin immediately feel a connection to her and decide to try and persuade her to stay once she is better. I liked the way the characters are fleshed out and of course that there are 3 hot, sexy, hot men going after one woman, thats always entertaining in a story. The thing I really didn't like, and don't like about any of Ms. Van's stories is her constant use of the "c" word for a womans genital. I actually said the word in my previous review so apparantly you can't. Anyway there are other much less crude ways to refer to it, sheath (which was used once in this story), the p word (I don't feel like having to write another reveiw in case that isn't allowed), channel and  sex to name a few. I just finished 4 books by another author and she didn't use the c word once and there were many, many hot love scenes. And before that I read a 350 page novel with 5 shifters and one mate that was smokin and again no c word mentioned. So anyway, just sayin. Other than that the only thing I felt was not in character was that the guys (80% brain capacitiy) didn't pick up on who the bad guys were on their base, I did right away. Ms. Van, keep on getting better with each story and I will keep buying them. I do wish your stories were a lot longer, I would be willing to pay more if they were. I definately recommend this story to fans of menage stories with a paranormal and suspense twist. Enjoy! p.s. Hurry with the next story in this series!
