Sometimes it takes a crisis to appreciate a good man…
When Aldric first meets Lito, he considers the man a nuisance. As a dragon keeper for the kingdom of Corancia, he has more important tasks than answering an artist’s numerous questions about dragons.
Lito travelled to Corancia so he could observe dragons firsthand for his paintings, and he’s full of questions about the magnificent creatures. His questions aren’t merely for his art; however, they arise from his deep love of dragons. When he overhears a plot by his own kingdom to eliminate the animals, he has to choose between his loyalty and his beloved dragons.
Working to prevent the extermination of dragons throws Aldric and Lito together. Lust is in the air, and if they’re lucky, they could end up with a happily ever after.
REVIEW:
The Dragon Keeper is a fantasy/romance set in the northern kingdom of Corancia where dragons and humans live side by side. Humans and dragons have developed a symbiotic relationship where the humans provide shelter for dragons and the dragons help protect the kingdom against enemies. It has become a very useful arrangement as the dragon population has exploded so there are no more caves for them to live in, the humans provide them with shelter. The dragons are quirky, sometimes demanding yet require very careful handling. The northern king appointed a dragon keeper, someone who knows dragons and what they need. Aldric has recently been promoted to dragon keeper in Corancia after having worked as an assistant to his grandfather for fifteen years.
Whereas the northern kingdoms love and protect their dragons the southern kingdoms have eliminated every dragon! Now the southerners are planning to expand dragon eradication to rid the world of all dragons simply because they neither understand nor the respect the majestic creatures. Lito is a southern artist, unlike his countrymen Lito is endlessly fascinated with dragons. As he has never seen a dragon Lito travels to the north, so he can sketch, draw and paint the dragons.
Lito arrives in Corancia and meets Aldric to request permission to sit with the dragons. Aldric reluctantly agrees to Lito sitting with the dragons but his patience is sorely tested with the never-ending questions! In the beginning Aldric is less than enthusiastic to have Lito underfoot every day always asking questions, sketching and drawing his beloved dragons.
The more Lito learns about dragons the more he falls in love with them. As he is so calm and quiet the dragons unexpectedly learn to trust him very quickly and when Aldric notices this he begins to look at Lito differently. This is when things change between the men and their mutual love of dragons draws them closer, when Lito faces danger with Aldric and the other northerners it seals the deal as far as Aldric is concerned.
I recommend The Dragon Keeper to all dragon/fantasy/m/m romance lovers. It’s a short, entertaining read with a bit of everything to keep you entertained.
