I found it a really boring, the male love interest was such an asshole and the female lead acted dumb as bricks. It was also a slow pace book and I found it never truly caught my attention, I would just ignore this book whenever I thought of opening it up. It's kind of upsetting because it cost me a...

It started off with a rather inert telly prologue that nevertheless had a cool premise--this novel is a mixture of historical (Georgian England) and paranormal (shape-shifters into dragons) romance, and does have some imaginative elements.
