Death has come to Vegas and he isn’t there to play the slots.
It is almost nice to see Dragos and Pia have ups and downs like any other married couple. Pia’s second pregnancy isn’t going as smoothly as her first. She has to take special shots to keep from losing the pregnancy and unlike regular wyr, she is suffering through this one. More like any other human woman, Pia suffers from swollen ankles, no coordination. a short temper and constant exhaustion. Pia and Dragos have been fighting over whether to induce the baby now that he has reached the point of being viable. Pia wants to give him more time, but Dragos hates seeing his mate suffer.
With everything going on, their arrival for Carling and Rune’s wedding isn’t going to end up being a romantic weekend away but no one expects to see Azrael, the Elder Races’ God of Death performing on the Vegas strip. He has been waiting for the Cuelebres to arrive.
That is because someone else is lurking about. Someone who has waited centuries to destroy the Dragon, and the chance to kidnap Dragos’s pregnant mate and make him suffer is simply too tempting to pass up.
Pia risks losing her baby without access to her shots. Dragos and the rest of the bridal party have very little time to find her before Death comes calling.
It has hard to believe this will be our last Pia and Dragos story. I was surprised how much I liked Dragos after reading Dragon Bound. He should have been way too dictatorial to be a good romantic lead, but as a dragon born at the creation of the world, it isn’t so unexpected for him to be used to snapping his fingers and expecting everyone to jump. I appreciated how he tried for Pia not be too overbearing.
Thea Harrison was one of the first authors that I was following who returned to a prior couple in the series. Usually paranormal romances only feature new hero and heroine, but with Lord’s Fall, she took us back to a Pia and Dragos centric story. I was excited and impressed that she would step out of the box like that and decide that they still had a story to tell and by God, they would have their chance. Since then, we have also gotten a chance to spend time with them in some short stories as they grew into their own family unit.
I wanted to read slow and make this one last, but I simply couldn’t put it down until I knew what was going to happen. It will be so hard to see Pia and Dragos bow out of the spotlight after this last curtain call. I still have so much I want to know them and Liam and Stinkpot, but I guess I will have to wait and see if they pop in for some future story like Stan Lee in a Marvel movie.
I know we can expect wonderful new stories and characters from Thea and I am excited to see where she takes us next.
Received a review copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
