Hot Diggity Damn. I really wanted to give this four stars - what a bummer. A) Because I love dragons B) Because I want to read more from this author. Before I got intrigued by werewolves - dragons were my baby. Holy hell, I read the beast that was Eragon when I was 13. Christopher Paolini rocked my microscopic world. Dragon shapeshifter romance? Yes please! 
 Except... 
 Too much purple prose in the beginning. The author was using too many adjectives in her descriptions of buildings etc. Although I understand the meaning of every word thrown my way (and if I don't, I just look it up) - some writers fall into the trap of trying to sound too clever. Know your target audience. Less is more. Use long words to enhance your writing at times, but never let it define your prose. Readers always crave simplicity, so balance the two! Egos can be stroked later. 
 Oh god... 
 Repetitive use of "big guy" 
 sooooooo cringe. 
 I liked the love-making scenes, and Dragos is unashamedly possessive, jealous and dictatorial - whoppee, all the things I love in a guy (blatant sarcasm). However, he does give her a choice - you can stay with me or leave. And he explains some of his heightened behaviour is due to being Wyr - that supernatural "get-out-of-jail-free" card used to make guys amp out on testosterone but it's biologically programmed into him, so... 
 It can't be helped! 
 Whatever. I'm still returning to this author, because at parts I was transfixed and I liked some of her sassy dialogue. Yeah! 
 PS: (Every time I read the name Pia, I kept thinking of Pia Mia! :D)
