"A lovely book that is part fantasy and part historical romance. The romance is sweet, the story plot is suspensful and exciting and the characters are lovely, especially Lane, with his long dark hair. (e)"
"I loved the hero in this one. Zane was perfect: started as a bad boy and selfish (which fitted with his personna in The Smoke Thief), but when he came to care for the heroine he was super protective, tender, sweet, seductive and caring. Couldn't find a fault with him:) And if I didn't love him enough, the ending assured that I did!
Zane and Amalia are searching for the Draumr diamond: a stone that has magical abilities where the drakon are concerned. Lia has been having some very terrifying dreams for years; dreams that her family is destroyed by the man she loves. The source of all evil, is the Draumr. Zane has been asked by the drakon, to bring them the diamond, for a hefty price. Lia plans to get to it before he does and realizes its power. As they get nearer to the diamond, their attraction gets stronger and stronger, until they can't deny it any longer. However, there can't be any future for the two of them, since Lia's family will never accept a mere mortal as her husband. Their heartache, passion and love was so vibrant for me, I almost cried for them. Great couple with great chemistry. I just couldn't get enough of them.
If I have one tiny-miny complain, is that the romance took the backseat in the first half, as opposed to the adventure. But other than that, it was great. And did I already say I loved Zane?
I'm not sure whether I want to go on with the rest of the series however. Reviews for the next one are not so good it seems. Decisions, decisions..."
"This was the second in the Drakon series. Although I do like the writing style of Shana Abe, something about this book just didn't do it for me. I didn't find it nearly as good as the first - Smoke Thief. This is about Zane and Lia. They were not very interesting characters like the first book. Most of the book is about them traveling to different places on thier way to find Draumr. It was to say the least, boring. I had a hard time getting through to the end which was quite uneventful. It left more questions then it answered. I am dearly hoping her next book will be better than this one was."
