I'm not generally one that goes outside of vampires in my paranormal reading, but I thought I'd give this one a try. It wasn't all I was expecting, but it wasn't bad.
I was down with the dragon shifters but the fact that they were actually aliens who had escaped to Earth. Even better was the fact that their alien nemesis' were on earth searching them out in an attempt to destroy them. It gave the story a little-added twist. But what kept me turning the pages on this one was our hero Jax.
Jax and his brother were raised with Tierney by her father after they escaped to earth. Childhood friends, Jax and Tierney were always together, but when Jax was forced from Tierney's home to that of his father he came back to Tierney years later changed. He knew he had feelings for Tierney (and vice versa) but he didn't think he was good enough for her...even if he knew that she was his soul mate.
Jax was the perfect angsty, tortured hero. I loved him when he was pushing Tierney away because I knew how much it hurt him. You knew who and what he wanted but he had a lot of emotional issues he needed to fight through in order to realize he could have what he wanted.
If you're a lover of paranormal shifter romances, DRACONES AWAKENING is one you want to check out. For this reader, who doesn't normally go for this kind of story, I was left intrigued and want to see what happens next..especially with the alliance with the wolves.
