Her Dragon To Slay

Lots of sass and the patented cock of her eyebrow have gotten Kyndel through most anything life has thrown at her. But will her moxie help when her destiny falls at her feet on a long dark trip home from work? 

Over 100 years of honor and commitment to his ancient clan’s Guard have made Rayne the fearless leader all are proud to follow into battle. When the long foretold pull of his mate makes the calm, cool and collected Commander fall from the sky will he be able to save his mate from his enemies in time? 

The chemistry between this strong-willed curvy girl and fierce warrior makes all the difference in the world where nothing is as it seems. The existence of an ancient race of honor-clad, tradition-bound protectors might be hard to accept but now the dead are coming back to life and holding a knife to her neck. 

The Universe made her for him now it’s up to them to stay alive long enough to live happily ever after.

Her Dragon To Slay is book one in Dragon Guards series by Julia Mills. I love dragon shifter books, so I picked this one up. I enjoyed this dragon tale, but some of the writing put me off.

Kyndel, a human. I enjoyed her and the witty banter that she does with Rayne (mate) and the other Dragon Guardsman. She has some type of connection to plants and healing, which is not fully talked about, but mentioned. She’s on the feminine side, but not a wilting lily or damsel in distress.

Rayne, dragon shifter and commander of the Dragon Guard. I enjoyed his strong protective instincts for his mate and those he protects. He is a fearless leader.

The plot moves quickly as most insta-love books tend to do. We get a cast of very hot sexy dragon shifters, that I really would like to learn more about. Each have their own unique personalities and colorful dragons. I was concerned that the Hunters and Wizards the author gave us where/are to week to kill the dragons off, but the author threw in a much better evil villein that will give the Dragon Guardsman a run for their money. The sex is hot if not sometimes a little vanilla, but still good to read.

What put me off was how many times the author said “the Universe had made her, just for him”, “the Universe did not make mistakes” or that they are “1000lb dragons”. Ya I get it. I’m hoping that this is not a recurring theme throughout the books. The only other thing that distracted me was the long winded monolog’s going on in the characters heads. Maybe I’ll get use to this from the author. Only time will tell.

As first books go in a series Her Dragon To Slay was a descent start. We have an underlining plot that seams interesting and the Dragons are enjoyable.

REVIEW
In this book we have Kyndel she is a strong woman made that way by her grandmother after the death of her parents. After losing her grandmother Kyndel never forgot her grandmothers words and has lived by them. While walking home from the gym through a park one evening Kyndel knows someone is hurt she doesn’t see anyone at first however. Then out of no where a gorgeous man with the bluest eyes she has ever seen lands on the ground. He is severely hurt and Kynel can’t walk away. Something is pulling her to this man causing her to throw all caution aside. She takes him back to her place and puts healing herbs on his back. The tattoo on his back is like calling to her.
The man wakes the next day and has now told her everything about him. Kyndel doesn’t know what to believe but her faith and inner self says she can trust this man.
Rayne is the leader of the Dragon Guard and he lets Kyndel know the person he fought was actually after her.

Many things transpire and someone who the Dragons thought was one of them well lets just say it’s a shocker.
Read the book !!!

This book is well written, and If you are a Dragon shifter lover like myself then you are going to love this book.
Totally recommend it !!!!

So sweet!

A funny, delightful romp through dragon lore. A coming of age dragon slayer falls for a 400-year-old stone dragon in his human form. The only thing in their way, besides a terrifying ancient sky dragon, is each other. Highly recommended.

So, I downloaded this as it came up under some kind of monster porn, figuring it would be the same old shit, different day.   I was very pleasantly surprised.   First of all, this isn't erotica, at least not to me.  There's sex, but the explicit stuff happens off scene.  

 

The language was gorgeous, and while I don't read that much stuff about dragons, this seemed to be new to me.   Not even the caste system, or them being able to change to a human form, but rather the way it was all combined.   

 

Nevertheless, it takes what could be a cliche, forbidden romance between a dragon and a dragon slayer, and turns the whole concept on its head.   Beautiful!   And so well done.   I noticed one or two typos, but seeing as this is a self-published offering, it was surprisingly error-free.   Another kudos to the author for being so professional   

 

I know I very rarely give the freebies more than two stars, but this is getting a five.   I found myself more enthralled the more I read.   Lemme show you why underneath the cut.

 

 

 

This is a young adult novel I was granted access to by Netgalley – my thanks.

It's a classic idea: a much-bullied 12-year-old boy is whisked off from his down-trodden life to another world, where he can become a hero. Greg Hart is just that boy – and Myrrth is just that other world. He abruptly finds himself in the middle of a ring of wizards who have gone searching for him through the worlds. Well – searching for the mighty Greghart, prophesied to slay the dragon who will take the princess. Greg protests futilely that he would have trouble slaying a dragonfly, much less a dragon ("He'd be lucky to win a fight against one of the smaller girls at school") – particularly when he realizes there's a local bonafide dragonslayer called Greatheart – but no one listens: they are certain that the prophecy clearly points to him, and prophecies guide everyone's lives on Myrrth, and therefore a-slaying he will go.
