I really enjoyed the first Novel then Short Novella in this series, and loved this one even more. The characters the author created were likeable and the story of Briec and Talaith's was consuming and unbearable to put down. I absolutely loved the witty sarcastic banter between the two, the action was great, the humor will have you laughing out loud. The secondary character's have a depth in each novel that I really enjoy, and the overall plot line in the series is well written and rolls great from one book to the next. I loved the addition of Talaith's long lost daughter to her and Briec's life. I look forward to reading the rest of the Novella's and Novels in this series and highly recommend this book as well as the series itself. Although I have seen it stated that it can read as a stand alone Novel, I would highly recommend any reader to go back and read the first book Dragon Actually, as well as the Novella Chains and Flames just so you get the whole back story which I believe will make for a better overall reading experience.
