Goodreads rating: 3.89 - 7062 ratings
My rating: 2.5
Setting: United Kingdom
First line/s: "Melanie Hall sat in the reception area of the Manchester Dragon Affairs Office, tapping her finger against her arm, and wishing they'd hurry the hell up."
My comments: (The interesting concept here is that a dragon lives INSIDE the shifter, not that the dragon and the person are one in the same.) The narrator changed voices a lot, depending on the person he was speaking for, but he made Tristan's dragon sound like an imbecile. Very offputting. You got to know the two protagonists' characteristics pretty well, but all the others were pretty flat. I woldn've also liked a bit more description of the setting. Yes, there were steamy parts, but there was a lot otf talking, thinking, discussion about the same things over and over again. It did seem to go on and on, there were absolutely no surprises, and everything seemed....well, flat. Even the actufaal shape shifting couldn've used a lot more description. Oh well, I did not expect much.
Goodreads synopsis: In exchange for a vial of dragon’s blood to save her brother’s life, Melanie Hall offers herself up as a sacrifice to one of the British dragon-shifter clans. Being a sacrifice means signing a contract to live with the dragon-shifters for six months to try to conceive a child. Her assigned dragonman, however, is anything but easy. He’s tall, broody, and alpha to the core. There’s only one problem—he hates humans.
Due to human dragon hunters killing his mother, Tristan MacLeod despises humans. Unfortunately, his clan is in desperate need of offspring to repopulate their numbers and it’s his turn to service a human female. Despite his plans to have sex with her and walk away, his inner dragon has other ideas. The curvy human female tempts his inner beast like no other.
NOTE: This is the entire first story arc of the Stonefire Dragons, complete with a HEA and no cliffhangers.
