About this eBook

A high-flying fantasy “packed with bold adventure and sizzling sensuality”—first in the series by the New York Times bestselling author (RT Book Reviews).
 
It’s not always easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear—a lot—or else salute. It’s true that Annwyl has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother’s soldiers without pausing for breath. But just once it would be nice to be able to really talk to a man, the way she can talk to Fearghus the Destroyer.

Too bad that Fearghus is a dragon, of the large, scaly, and deadly type. With him, Annwyl feels safe—a far cry from the feelings aroused by the hard-bodied, arrogant knight Fearghus has arranged to help train her for battle. With her days spent fighting a man who fills her with fierce, heady desire, and her nights spent in the company of a magical creature who could smite a village just by exhaling, Annwyl is sure life couldn't get any stranger.

She’s wrong . . . 

And just wait until you meet the rest of the family . . .

Ratings and reviews

well, all I can say is this is not your usual fantasy novel. If you like the sex scenes in GOT then you'll like this. Seriously, if I wanted to read pork then I would. You screwed the pooch as well as the dragon on this one.

Excellent concept and spice. Weak writing, and use of certain words gets icky and repetitive after a while. First half is much better than the second.

Very cute :) the writing isn't the best in the world but the banter between the characters is funny, I have to give a book at least 4 stars if it makes me burst out laughing.
