Betrothed to the Dragon by Kara Lockharte

Betrothed to the Dragon (Dragon Lovers, #1)

by Kara Lockharte

I’m engaged to a stranger, a man—dragon. If I don’t marry him, I’m as good as dead.

I’ve been hiding all my life.

Unlike the rest of my once powerful family, I have no magic.

The immortal monster that ate them all, still hunts me.

And my grandmother thinks that the only way to save me from the monster is to marry me to another monster: a dragon.

Only this monster is perfection in human form: all rippling golden muscle and more gorgeous than anyone who shifts into a scaled monstrous beast has a right to be. His magic calls me, his heat enthralls me and my mind melts at the touch of his inhumanely hot hands on my skin.

There is no way I can marry him.
I know what he truly wants: access to my family’s power.

But I have no magic, no power of my own.

He thinks he knows what he’s getting with me.

I don’t play those games.

It’s better to run from a monster, than to marry one.

I’m no dragon’s treasure.

Even if my heart wishes otherwise.

I've been getting a kick out of reading about the world of dragons! They've definitely become a new fave to read about in the shapeshifter world. Betrothed to a Dragon was a great starting point for the Lick of Fire series and after devouring this one, I'm beyond eager for the next couple!

This was a first time read from Kara Lockharte and I'm hooked on her words. I love the characters dialogue, it was relatable and definitely the way I talk among friends when we're all hanging out.

I was so fascinated by the world building especially since it's so new to me. This will be the second dragon series that I've read and I love noting the differences between the two. There's definitely some new elements and other out of this world characters that I'm dying to learn about like the shen.

I got the sense that we'll still have plenty to learn about Hunter and Sophie especially since she's still adapting to everything she's learn in such a short amount of time.

Brava, Kara and absolutely can't wait to read more about these dragons!
