Fantasy Romance
Millionaire Garion Gold is the last Drakkon alive on earth, but he doesn’t have to be. His blood holds the power to transform at will or alter any descendant of the ancients. He doesn’t have to live his life alone, hiding from those who seek his blood, secluded in a villa in the mountains of Norway. He can rule the sky with his kind, but the cost to humans is too high. So he remains a man, alone in the clouds, giving up flight and fire for a nobler purpose. He’s suspended in both worlds, belonging to neither, an outcast with a price on his head that has cost others their lives.
Never again.
Helen White will never forget the Gold Drakkon that burned her family to ashes and set her path toward a purpose. To find and kill him before he turns any more Drakkon. But he isn’t the monster she’d prepared herself for. He’s six feet five inches of pure, golden muscle and built like he could lift that hammer from the ground with a tug. He’s mystery and radiance draped in sunshine or starlight. A man whose kiss sets music to the stars and whose truest heart is revealed in his gentleness with the most delicate of creatures; his cat. What will losing her heart to her sworn enemy cost her? And when a life-altering truth is revealed, what will stop her from killing him?
Uncaged Review: Helena watched her family be torched by a Gold Drakkon, and all her life she’s been training as part The Bane, the group of people wanting to kill the last remaining Drakkon, but the reasons are not as they seem. When Helena finally finds him, he’s nothing like she thought he would be and resisting him will be hard. When the truth comes out of what happened and why The Bane want the Gold Drakkon, Garion, is not as she’s been led to believe her whole life. Her brother Jacob and her will be in grave danger.
There was a lot of action, romance, murder and mystery in this book, and the book goes at a good pace. I did feel a little let down at the end, it seemed like a strange place to end the book. I felt it should have had one more chapter or an epilogue, but it sort of left me hanging. Not a cliffhanger by any means, but maybe I just wanted things tied up with a nice bow. This is a great read in the fantasy romance genre.
