From the moment I tapped the icon on for Waking the Dragon in my Kindle app 'til the very end I was completely captivated. There's a gristly murder case with dead girls popping up everywhere and an impressively strong reporter with the drive and determination to figure out what the local enforcement has not. That would be Moira Cade. She has connections in high places and a foot in both the human and Morgon territories. 
 Kol Moonring is relegated the lovely task of keeping Moira safe. Captain of the Morgon Guard, he is everything he should be. Powerful, dominating, and fiercely in control. I gotta say the push/pull between these two is amazing. Neither will bend in their fierceness and both want the same outcome. 
 "You want to be possessed, but not controlled. You want to be protected, but not smothered. You want to be dominated, but only in one way." 
 Moira and Kol are going down as one of my all time favorite couples. It's the words shared between them throughout Waking the Dragon that has truly moved me to highlight with abandon. 
 "Tragedy changes us all, Moira. We get to choose how much. Some survive with a few bumps and bruises. Others wear their scars forever and build walls to block the world out." 
 "Life was too short to waste, harboring bitterness against family and cherishing loneliness like it was his own precious pet. Life was too short to waste on ambition alone, pretending it was enough for me. I wanted more. I wanted Kol. I wanted...love." 
 In all sincerity, it's Cross' best book to date in this reviewers humble opinion. Waking the Dragon had everything a good read needs to become great: action, adventure, love, lust, fight, determination and mind blowing tension that leads to an explosive coupling. 
 "I'm burning for you, Moira. An inferno flares inside every time you come near me." He traced his tongue over my bottom lip. "I won't go up in flames alone." He ground out the words. "You're going to burn with me." 
 What more can I say? I loved it.
