Dragon Actually - Dragon Kin, Bk 1
Author: G. A. Aiken
It's not always easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear -a lot- or else salute. It's true that Annwyl has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother's soldiers without pausing for breath.

Well when I saw this book was receieving a solid 5* and it was about dragons, I immediately went to Borders and bought it.

I have to say that the first part of the book was OK but I kept vacillating between "this isn't a 5...hardly a 4 sometimes, and I wasn't planning on getting the next book." But by the time "Chains and Flames" finished things up it was definitely a 5* and I *absolutely* will be buying the next book!

SPOILER/HINT: Don't speed read this book! The first part has some "moments" that related to the last part. ("Chains and Flames") While you will pick up the major connections, it was the little moments that made it special! =)

Cheers! And Happy Reading! =)

Fantasy/Paranormal romance. Annwyl is the leader of a rebellion bent on overthrowing her brother Lorcan's reign. She is saved by the dragon, Feargus the Terrible, after a particularly bad skirmish. He is amused and curious about this fierce human woman who is also known as Annwyl the Bloody. Feargus teaches her to fight, in his human form, but doesn't tell her he's the Dragon. Annwyl is attracted to the man, but can't betray her Dragon. This is a fun, erotic tale, full of action, romance, great characters, and loads of family dysfunction. The book also contains a Novella featuring the romance of Feargus' parents, Rhiannon, the Dragon Queen, and her mate, Bercelak the Vengeful. Not as good as Annwyl and Feagus' story, but still very good. Loved the book.

Arrogant dragons who seriously annoy their ladies-of-choice... Who knew? This series of Shelley Laurenston's is frequently fall out of your chair funny...

Correct order is not extremely important, but you will be missing some of the subplots if you read them out of order. Of course, that gives you an excuse to read them again...

You can guess a dragon named Fearghus the Destroyer and a human princess/leader of the Rebellion named Annwyl the Bloody would have a lot to talk about...

Even witches have bad days, but being rescued by an extremely arrogant dragon from being hanged/burned? Definitely a new low... [This is a re-release of The Distressing Damsel.:]

This book was cute! It kept reminding me of Naomi Novik's "His Majesty's Dragon" except Aiken's is a romance. Novik's is just a wonderful story about a dragon and man, but with more "ahh" factors. Definitely recommend Aiken's for someone that enjoys humor and romance.
