About this ebook

BOOK ONE 

In order to pay for her father’s life-saving cancer treatment, Holly Anderson offers herself up as a sacrifice and sells the vial of dragon’s blood. In return, she will try to bear a Scottish dragon-shifter a child. While the dragonman assigned to her is kind, Holly can’t stop looking at his twin brother. It’s going to take everything she has to sleep with her assigned dragonman. If she breaks the sacrifice contract and follows her heart, she’ll go to jail and not be able to take care of her father. 

Even though he’s not ready to settle down, Fraser MacKenzie supports his twin brother’s choice to take a female sacrifice to help repopulate the clan. Yet as Fraser gets to know the lass, his dragon starts demanding something he can’t have—his brother’s sacrifice. 

Holly and Fraser fight the pull between them, but one stolen kiss will change everything. Will they risk breaking the law and betraying Fraser’s twin? Or, will they find a way out of the sacrifice contract and live their own happily ever after?

Ratings and reviews

I could not stand the leading lady, if you can call her that. Being a strong woman is one thing but she was rude, disrespectful and obnoxious. It's very hard to enjoy a book when you can't stand one of the main characters. She couldn't even get through a so called mind shattering sexual experience without arguing through the whole thing. Honestly, I didn't want to finish the book.

The book was enjoyable. I am American and some of the wording was a bit weird to me, but it was fine. The only con was I do think the male was too immature. I prefer my males to be alpha and behave as a man should.

A fairly good plot. But definitely not the best shifter-romance ever. It contains plenty of lust but lacks actual romance. I'm not planning on buying the rest of the series.
