BLURB:

Kipling doesn’t regret murdering his Alpha. Anything is better than continuing to live as a roughskin, subjected to brutal pit fights and abuse day after day. But constantly running for his life, always looking over his shoulder, and having nowhere to call home isn’t much better.

When he finds an abandoned cabin in the mountains, it seems the ideal place to hide until his pack gives up the search. All he needs is supplies, and a quick trip into town should take care of that. Instead of supplies, however, he encounters Tori, who seems like everything Kipling has ever wanted—and far too good to be true.

And if Tori’s not a trap then he, and his beautiful dragons, are just one more obstacle to be taken down by Kipling’s pack.

REVIEW:

I love the shifter sexiness and intrigue in this book. Kipling is a wolf shifter who is on the run after killing his pack Alpha. As a roughskin, he has been forced to fight for spectators and kill other wolves. Since he’s been used and abused for so long, his only desire is survival. However, when Kiplig finds a place to hide out, he ends up meeting Torri, a man who sees Kipling’s beauty and treats him like a person. Kipling has never been kissed and loved in a gentle manner, so his relationship with Torri is very new and exciting. Though he believes he can never stop running, Torri takes Kipling in, introducing him to his sexy and rambunctious dragon shifters. Kipling adores having Torri as his lover and protector, but when his former pack catches up to him, his fairytale life is threatened.

This book was a pleasant surprise. Though I’ve only read book one in the series, I didn’t feel like I missed anything from not reading the books that came in between. The romance between Kipling and Torri is hot, but my favorite part of the story was the dragon shifters. Despite being dangerous and liking to play rough, they were sweet and cute like puppies. Even in their human form, the dragons seemed more like pets—wanting to touch and play with Kipling, but having to be reminded about their manners. Though the polyamory scenes between Kipling, Torri and the dragon shifters are non-graphic and mostly narrated, I still loved the picture that the author paints—domestic bliss with the addition of Torri’s frisky dragon friends. I also liked the intrigue and was pleased with the happy ending. I recommend this book to anyone who loves M/M shifter fantasy with polyamory and romance.
