Description

Nothing was supposed to wake half dragon, half human Lucius from his Deep Sleep. Nothing. And yet something, or rather someone has. The unexpectedly attractive human not only touched him. She kissed him. Now Lucius is awake, and more powerful than he has ever been in his 4,000 years of existence. And once he finds out who led her to his cave, he’ll deal with his 300 years of hunger…

College professor Raine Carson spent her life obsessed with myths and legends. And now she’s woken one up. Only Lucius is nothing like anything she’s ever seen or read about in her history books. Because this man is part sexy badass and part terrifying…monster. Yet she wants him with a hunger like nothing she’s ever felt before.

Lucius used to be part of the Forgotten Brotherhood—a ruthless group of paranormal assassins. Now he’s unsure if his former Brothers are their allies…or enemies. All he knows is that someone is hunting him, and Raine is just as tangled up in this mess as he is. And he’ll protect her—even if it means unleashing his Dragon and all of its power.

    Such a fantastic book. Raine loves myths and urban legends, so imagine her surprise when a stone dragon she sees ends up coming to life…how fun is that, I know right? And then that dragon turns into a super hot guy…yes please. Lucius has been in a deep sleep of his kind that turns him to stone, and had no plans to wake up. He’s been asleep for hundreds of years, and is thousands of years old…so basically he is the very definition of older man. Because of her interest and job, she is really unfazed by what he is. Yeah when he first woke up she was trying to convince him she was not tasty to eat, and it was so funny. But other than that, she really does embrace what he is and not really fazed by it. After waking up, his memories slowly return to him, and he starts to remember who he really is, and the Forgotten Brotherhood, in his words the monsters sent to kill other monsters, aka the bogeyman for all paranormals. And then he is in pursuit to find out who used her as a pawn to wake him up. I think we all know when this Drakon goes on a hunt…it all gets very real. He is also more powerful than he was before he went to sleep, add in that he will protect his rare mate at all cost, you have a very dangerous assassin Drakon. Fantastic storyline, with some action, suspense, and twist. With great characters, she is chatty, quirky, and a ray of sunshine, a glasses 1/2 full kind of girl. I loved how they interacted with each other. He is very intense, calm, and very protective, so their interactions were quite entertaining. Safe read, mates. Epilogue and an hea. Next book please….always need more NJ Walters book crack.
