Wow! Another winner from S.E. Smith! I'm a little late to the party for this release but I finally made it and so glad I did! After reading a few of the reviews, I admit I was a little hesitant about purchasing this book but I'm so glad I ignored the bad reviews. I realize that everyone is entitled to their opinion, as am I, but I failed to see any merit to the criticisms made by several reviewers. I am not a professional reviewer but I am an avid reader and have been for the last 60 years. I know what I like, what I love and most definitely, what I don't and I LOVED this book! I've read every single release in the Dragon Lords of Valdier, Dragonlings of Valdier, Curizan Warriors, Sarafin Warriors and Magic New Mexico Series and have loved them all. This is an exciting, imaginative, humorous, heartwarming, well crafted and well written book. The dialogue is well executed, flows beautifully and at times, laugh out loud funny. Yes, this book has a great plot but it's the magnificent characters that totally stole my heart. They are captivating, intriguing, endearing, well developed, larger than life, sexy as sin and outrageously funny. They literally explode from the pages and capture your heart. I snickered, snorted, giggled and guffawed throughout the majority of the book but I also shed a few tears as well. But then, all of Smith's books have that effect on me and this one was no exception. If an author can tug on my heartstrings and make me cry while simultaneously warming my heart with healing love and laughter, she has most certainly succeeded in delivering an entertaining read. Isn't that what we all look for in a great read? To be truly entertained? And this book is divinely entertaining! Sure, maybe there were a few minor editing errors but so what? We all make typos and I noticed quite a few in the reviews making the criticisms. Hey, we're all human - I hope! lol... With an author who has a standard for excellence and proven track record like S.E. Smith, a few irrelevant errors should not be used to judge the overall quality of the story. Had there been tons of them, I could understand but there were only a few very minor mistakes. So my advice, ignore the bad reviews and read this book. I sincerely believe you will never regret your decision to read this one. If you enjoy Smith's extraordinary talent, exceptional skill, unique style, incredible worlds and fascinating characters, then you will surely love this book just as much as I did. What didn't I like about this book? Not a darn thing! What did I love about this book? Everything! Would I recommend this book? You bet and I am! So, buckle up my lovelies and prepare to be entertained with this enchanting story of another Sarafin Warrior finding his mate!
