Dragon Actually by G A Aiken

Dragon Actually (Dragon Kin, #1)

by G.A. Aiken

It’s not always easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear—a lot—or else salute. It’s true that Annwyl has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother’s soldiers without pausing for breath. But just once it would be nice to be able to really talk to a man, the way she can talk to Fearghus the Destroyer.

Too bad that Fearghus is a dragon, of the large, scaly, and deadly type. With him, Annwyl feels safe—a far cry from the feelings aroused by the hard-bodied, arrogant knight Fearghus has arranged to help train her for battle. With her days spent fighting a man who fills her with fierce, heady desire, and her nights spent in the company of a magical creature who could smite a village just by exhaling, Annwyl is sure life couldn't get any stranger.

She’s wrong . . . 

And just wait until you meet the rest of the family . . .

It took me a while to get this book read and I hate that it was because the heroine annoyed me. She's strong, her name is freaking Annwyl the Bloody but she yelled a lot and she acted like a child for a lot of this book and I wasn't a fan of that. I wish she could have been strong without being annoying. I am intrigued with reading the other books in this series but this wasn't a strong start to the series for me. The romance was started off great but the longer Fearghus didn't tell Annwyl the truth, the more I wanted to junk punch him. Still, the world that Aiken created for these characters is an interesting one and I will probably jump in on the other books.

Full review to come.
