"Ms. McKay delivers!"
Adrianne Harris is the sole survivor of an airplane crash;
what is amazing is she was found in the burning plane
without any burn marks on her. Because she was the only
survivor of the plane crash the FBI believes that she had
something to do with it. She does not know why she did not
burn or how she mentally stopped the airplane from crashing
into the airport, but knows enough not to say anything to
the FBI. With the help of Nikki, her best friend and
roommate, she is able to get out of the hospital without
the press or the FBI finding out. The Dragoons are an all but dead race of aliens, who can
look human but are dragons; each with their own special
ability. There are only thirteen males left, or so they
thought until the plane crash; Adrianne projected a huge
mental signal while stopping the plane from crashing and
protecting herself. While she thinks she is dreaming she is
contacted by Navarre who tells her who she is, the last
queen Erifydal. Unfortunately, that same signal was
received by the Hunter whose sole reason for being is to
eradicate the Dragoons. Adrianne and Nikki will have to survive attacks by the
Hunter and his hounds while also trying to elude the FBI.
Navarre and the Dragoons arrive in time to rescue Adrianne
and Nikki, and she is amazed that he looks just like he did
in her "dream". He is also speaking to her in head. Navarre
and the Dragoons are sworn to protect Adrianne, since she
is their Queen; while doing so they also teach her about
their history and her special abilities. Adrianne is
worried that she will not be able to live up to what they
expect from her and their constant coddling of her is
driving her crazy. While Adrianne is doing all of this, her friend Nikki has
been having a little fun with a different Dragoon, Quince,
who has been protecting her. Will Adrianne be able to do
all that the Dragoon want of her? Will Nikki be able to
keep the FBI away from Adrianne without drawing too much
attention to herself? Will they all be able to survive
another attack from the Hunter and his hounds? I loved this book for several reasons; Christine McKay has
written a believable story in that the heroine did not just
accept everything that happens, but we get to see her
slowly do so. The second story line with her friend Nikki,
who is a bit unconventional, adds another level and some
fun, as does the ship. All the characters have some depth
to them even the "bad" guys. I will have to admit I was
interested in learning more about the FBI agent Cliverson,
and wouldn't mind seeing him in another story. Ms. McKay
is right on the money with this paranormal romance and
truly delivers!
