Mikhail is a prince with a deadly secret. The dragons of the past have long since been dead but inside his body lies the first dragon spirit to exist in centuries. There is a catch, he was getting sicker and sicker each day that it was stuck inside his body. If something wasn't done quickly his kingdom may not have a future ruler. Needing a mate in order to set it free, he realized his dreams of love were never going to happen. Resigned to his fate, Mikhail does the only thing he can think of to save himself and his people. He agrees to the mating games. One person will win his heart...and his flame.
Riley Cooper is an omega geek with no prospects. His entire life stuck at The Academy had been for nothing and he couldn't wait to age out of the program so he could get a job and live in peace. The last thing he expected was to get an invitation to the Mating Games. When he is tricked into accepting the invitation he thinks his life is over. That is until he lays eyes on Prince Mikhail. For the first time in his life he had something worth fighting for.
Rating: 2.5 This was an odd story. It felt like whole parts of the book were missing. The pacing started out even and then started speeding ahead in fits and starts. Things were suddenly just there and other things were never explained. The concept was a good one but the execution was very uneven. I may try the next one in the series to see if the issues get worked out (I can do this risk free on Kindle Unlimited or I wouldn't try).
Love the cover and I love the concept, but I feel like this should have been at least twice as long as it is. It feels like huge sections are missing and everything was only surface deep. There's a whole huge world here that can be explored and I feel like we barely even touched the surface.
