Denying the Dragon

Rate this book
When Taurian’s clan contacts them, Karla knows that her time with Taurian is coming to an end. He doesn’t need her any longer, and even though he still seems keen to make things permanent between them, she’s not sure she’s up to the commitment.

Taurian expected his desire for Karla to fade once he as back with his clan. Instead, it only intensifies. He’s determined to convince her to be his mate—despite his clan having a mate already picked out for him.

But there may be no time for love and mating, when Taurian’s enemy is still after them.

Denying the Dragon is Part 5 in the Dragon Ruins serial, set in a small outback town in modern day Australia. It begins with Waking the Dragon. The 6th and final part will be out soon.

About the author

Rinelle Grey

61 books182 followers
Rinelle Grey is no stranger to alternate lifestyles. She grew up in a variety of different homes, including a riverside shack with no electricity or running water, and even a tent. She and her sister spent their childhood chasing goats, climbing trees, eating peas and corn out of their mother’s vegetable garden, and occasionally rushing to get their correspondence school work in on time. Despite the difficulties of this lifestyle, she wouldn’t swap it for all the luxuries in the world (though she is rather fond of her running hot water and indoor plumbing now!)

She met her husband in ‘Family Therapy’, an elective they were both taking as part of their psychology degrees. It took several years for them to get together, in fact, their roleplaying characters got together before they did!

They married on the beach at sunrise in 2002, two months after Rinelle popped the question.

Although she had always loved to write, it wasn’t until her daughter was about eighteen months old that Rinelle started writing seriously. Probably not the best stage in terms of having spare time! And time only became scarcer when her daughter gave up her day sleep six months later. But by then, Rinelle had well and truly caught the writing bug, finding time somehow to continue with her passion. Her fast typing speed learnt from spending way too much time chatting on IRC, and the investment in an iPad when they came out, helped immensely.

Rinelle now lives on acreage with her husband and homeschooled daughter. In her spare time, she sells stock photography through an online site to support her family, and is hoping that writing will be able to add to that.

She loves to receive e-mails at rinelle@rinellegrey.com, or follow her on facebook or twitter.

The contact from Karla’s friend and work mate from the library came as a surprise to Karla – her request they meet at the library a bigger one. But when Karla and Taurian arrived, Taurian immediately smelled a dragon’s presence. Warning Karla to be cautious, he had all his senses on alert; his shock on seeing Kyrian, a member of the Rian clan was immense.

When Taurian, Karla and Kyrian entered the cave where Taurian’s clan waited, Karla had no idea what to expect. Neither for that matter did Taurian. He had been out of contact with his fellow dragons for so long, he no longer knew the members. But the immediate distrust of the human in Prince Taurian’s company set them all on edge.

Karla had thought that the Mesmer bond would fade once Taurian was back with his clan – but there was no time to think about their future with the worry of Taurian’s biggest enemy still around. Ultrima was a danger they had to overcome. But could they? The Rian clan needed to rid themselves of this strong and rebellious dragon if it was to have a future…what would be the outcome for Karla?

Denying the Dragon by Aussie author Rinelle Grey is the 5th in the Dragon Ruins series, with one more to follow before it finishes. A great, light hearted fantasy set in outback Australia where we find humans and dragons together, sometimes happily, most times not so much. I’m really enjoying the series and have no hesitation in recommending them all.

With thanks to the author for my copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Denying the Dragon

After Karla and the gang save Taurain they all go back to her dad's house and try to get some sleep. And out of nowhere she gets a phone call asking her to meet with her school friend about the clan. Taurain finally finds out that he has family and his brother's and sisters are still in mesmer sleep and need to be woken up. He and Karla and the gang actually get to meet them at their new lair. They expect him to mate with another dragon right away, but that is not what he wants. He wants to mate with Karla, but she can see that this is what needs to be done. All of a sudden, Ultrima shows up and he has brought extra dragons with him for a battle. What will happen next? I love this series and can't wait for the next book.

Waiting in the balance to see if Taurians decision will stay or if fate will step in. Darn that force of change to satisfy a clan....I enjoyed this book immensely.
