I'm a mother of two. I grew up loving to read and I started out with The Nancy Drew books. I later started reading Stephen King and Danielle Steele, and got my love of shifters from authors on Facebook and the Twilight Series.
I live in Franklin, IN and love reading, writing, and spending time with my family. I plan on writing more books that keep you captivated and on your toes.

Straight to the point.

I quick read, but again another enjoyable paranormal romance from April Lynn Baker.
This is basically an introduction to a new series "The Appalachian Dragons" and it's definitely a series I am looking forward to reading.
A couple of strong determined characters Angel and Jace who find what other's expect from them is not what they personally want, but once they bump into each other it looks as though things may change.
An enticing read wanting me to grab the next book in the series immediately.
Cannot wait to get into everything this series offers.
If you grab the book please leave a review for let author and other reader's.

I usually don't give a 3 star rating to books, but this one was a little to fast paced for my liking. Everyone involved accepts all the happenings with no story line, or questions asked.

Jace is a dragon shifter who moves to the Appalachian Mountains in Maine, wanting to be alone and live a more normal life away from the responsibilities that come with being the King. He gives that all up to his twin brother. But then he finds a wounded woman who turns out to be his mate.

Angel Leery is a lawyer who has been married to a man she thought she loved until the abuse started and she found out that he was in illegal dealings with the mob. She decides to run from him and moves to Maine, while on her way to her new life she is in a bad car accident and is rescued by a very handsome Jace. She accepts right away that he is a dragon shifter and jumps his bones right then and there.

prologue

I know it’s a prologue, but it’s 10 minutes, over and done by chapter 8. Could have been an amazing story on its own if padded out etc, it’s really just a story synopsis
