Claiming His Dragon
Bella Barwin
SciFi Romance
Ordered by my clan to choose a mate from the Drag’gon ambassadors, I expect cold negotiations and a strategic pairing…
Then I see her.
Elegant. Spirited. With eyes that challenge and lips made for defiance. She awakens something deep inside me—something primal.
But she’s royalty, and royalty doesn’t follow orders or submits. Not even to a hardened starship commander like me.
But I have ways of teaching obedience—lessons I’ll impress upon her slowly, thoroughly.
Until she learns. Not all cages are cold. Not all chains are visible. And love? Love can be the most exquisite restraint of all.
Uncaged Review: This is a very different scifi that I’ve read in the past. This is an erotic book, but it has substance. Ahn’Ric is the commander of his ship, and needs Cassandra to be an ambassador for a planet to negotiate a deal to mine their minerals that his race needs to begin a new planet home for his people. Cassandra is a Drag’gon, her main form is a beautiful dragon, but she can also take form of a human or a A’Llurian, which is Ahn’Ric’s race. Drag’gons are known as the best negotiators and the A’Llurian counsel wants Ahn’Ric to wed a Drag’gon. He chooses Cassandra, but Cassandra has been abused by a former A’Llurian boss and feels like all she needs to do is get the job done, get paid and get away from being hired by this race.
There is a lot of really good moments, but this is not a book for just anyone. There is a lot of sex and plenty of BDSM involved, which is something that is normal for the A’Llurian race. Ahn’Ric will have to earn Cassandra’s trust to achieve his goal of mating. Athough Ahn’Ric’s discipline is a bit tough to take at times, he also shows a side of tenderness towards Cassandra that almost redeems him. This is a good start to a series, and the author gives enough information to give the reader a good handle on this world without getting repetitive or slowing down the story. Looking forward to the next book.
