Waking Tamara

by Beverly Ovalle

The apocalypse has been and gone.
Generations have passed.
The old world wakes up to a future they never imagined.

Indra answers a mating call and is plunged into his future. He’s drawn to a beauty frozen in the past. He wants more than a kiss when he wakes her. But he has to have patience.

Gazing into Indra’s eyes, Mara is instantly smitten. One surprise after another has her believing in fairy tales. But there are no princes in her story, only dragons.

Believing in dragons isn’t the hard part. Even becoming a dragon brings her more pleasure than she’d ever dreamed. But being told she’s becoming a parent without her consent.

Nope.

Indra has some groveling to do.

Beverly decided she had nothing to lose and since she'd always wanted to be an author sent it in and agonized for months waiting to hear back. Contract in hand she has never looked back.

Beverly has been obsessed with dragons and romance since she was a young girl, collecting dragon books and reading everything she could find on them even down to the care of real life dragons.

[Zelly Jordan · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I really like the idea of dragon shifters and the whole fantasy realm, I found this story to be incomplete and disjointed. It moved very fast which isn’t a bad thing in the least but it did so at the expense of description, continuity and character building. Explanations of the action/scenes were thin and could have been greatly expanded. As an example, in the first few chapters, there is no proper description as to what is happening with the passage of time, a very important aspect of the story and the reader is left slightly confused and trying to figure out what is going on. The characters could have been more fully fleshed out and there was a lack of world-building. I found this to be quite disconcerting and almost didn’t finish the book. However, I persevered and finished the story because despite these issues, I wanted to see what transpired. I would highly encourage the writer to expand and improve her writing skills because the basics of a good imagination is there but the execution isn’t up to par. On the positive side, the story outline is entertaining and inventive and I give the author high marks for the concept.
