Emergence

by Kim Knox

She just wanted to forget. What she gets is her destiny. Life as Jaime Dalton knows it is almost over. Come morning, she—the forbidden offspring of a human and a gryphon—will be owned body and soul by the First Dragon, ruler of the mythoi. He will control everything. What she wears, what she eats, when she sleeps. And with whom. Determined to have a final fling, she seeks out the comfort of a stranger’s arms. Except he turns out to be “stranger” than he first appears. Kaden Rhodes knows what it’s like to be owned. Before he follows his orders to escort Jaime to the same fate, he can’t resist joining her in one last act of defiance. Before the night is over, though, he finds she has inched her way under his skin. Their connection is hot, fast, completely irresistible…and they’re playing with fire. Discovery will render them useless to the First Dragon. And those marked useless end up dead. This title contains wild sex, dark violence and irascible dragons who shift into brooding men. Oh, and the utter perversion of mythology.

I was surprised by how much I liked this novella, I wish it was a bit longer and I had more time with Kaden and Jaime. He's a latent mythoid of unknown origin and she's a griffin, they are not meant to be and can't be together. She belongs to the dragon lord of the British Isles. If she mates she loses her power to find energy. The author builds a complex world and the relationship between the characters at a good pace. Never boring. Kaden has a good mix of mystery, vulnerability and strength. Jamie is a perfect match for him. Sexy love sense, not too steamy but good enough.

Interesting premise, but nothing that stood out. But not a bad read.
