"TEARS OF A DRAGON is so different from most books..."
When two goons kidnap her intent on killing her, Khalia
Peterson ends up throwing herself into the river and
landing in a sand dune. Not exactly what she was expecting --
to say the least but then what in her life had ever been
expected? Before she had time to collect her wits, more
goons attacked her except these were of a different variety
altogether and very much more dangerous because they were
dragons. Actually they were very BIG dragons. After being
rescued by her very own knight in shining dragon man,
Damien Bloodragon, her life changes and for a long time she
isn't sure of if it is for the better or the worse. Damien knew the minute the amulet Khalia wore had been
activated and from the first it had been his duty to find
and protect her at all costs. She was his princess and his
future queen. He didn't have a choice in protecting her but
he did in loving her or maybe not since the heart doesn't
listen to the mind. He didn't expect to admire her spirit,
or desire her body, or love her for all she was but he did
however it wasn't that simple. There were people in Atar, the land she was to rule,
that didn't want her to rule. They didn't even want her to
live. Khalia and Damien set out to find her a place where
she would be protected until the traitors were found out
and until she went out of "season". While on their trip,
their desire towards each other became more fierce with
each passing day and the danger Khalia was in grew by leaps
and bounds. Khalia had to take the throne -- for her own
safety, for Damien's piece of mind, and for Atar but could
Damien just give her up to another? TEARS OF A DRAGON is so different from most books you
read especially those with dragons in it. The sexual
chemistry between Khalia and Damien makes you hunger for
some heat of your own just reading it. Their chemistry is
so real and inviting. Khalia's spirit makes for a strong
woman with a mind of her own to match her gorgeous and
flawless body. Damien strikes you as the drop-dead-gorgeous
type that you wonder if he is too good to be true and in
this case absolutely not. Damien is everything you want in
a hero; strong, loving, sensitive, and in love with the
heroine. I applaud Ms. Anjou's imagination in weaving this
web of fantasy for us and I, for one, can not wait for the
next in the series.
