Fire and Fang #3
Game of Captives
Falling in love with the enemy is never a good idea, especially when you’re in the middle of a war.
After her coronation, Queen Syla Moonmark must lead her people against the stormers and their dragon allies to drive them out of the kingdom. That would be easier if she’d managed to bring home the rare magical components that would allow the rebuilding of the sky shielder that was sabotaged early in the war. Without that protection, keeping dragons away from her people’s islands is impossible.
As she battles the kingdom’s enemies, worries about usurpers, and learns what it means to be bonded to the persnickety red dragon, Wreylith, Syla plans to capture and interrogate the dragon rider, Captain Vorik. By questioning him, she might learn where the crucial shielder components are—and how to get them.
The problem is that Vorik is charming, handsome, talented, and keeps saving her life. She might even be falling in love with him.
To make matters worse, Vorikhas orders to capture Syla.
If she can’t outmaneuver him, she could end up in an enemy camp, being tortured and interrogated for secrets with the power to destroy her entire kingdom.

Too much filler
Too many scenes that weren't necessary for the plot and just acted as filler to make page count. Didn't really solve anything except to prove no matter how much skill was miraculously gained it still wasn't enough to find peace

Another great installment
I’m going to assume this series continues. I need to know Syla gets her throne back and Voric gets to stay with her. They are the obvious solution to the problem, and I rely on Ms. Buroker to give me the happy ending I need.
