Book Description
Prince Crux is in a bind.
When the Dragon King commands Crux find a proper mate, his days of carefree bachelorhood are over. One trip to a psychic matchmaker and he's on the path to his destiny. But it all comes screeching to a halt when he meets a human woman who lights his inner fire and makes him yearn.
She's got a pair of roller skates and an attitude.
Courtney is supposed to be putting the shambles of her life back together. Getting abducted by aliens isn't part of the plan. Neither is getting rescued by a scorchingly hot dragon that makes her think of an impossible future. But they have no chance together if they can't first escape a planet full of monsters intent on their destruction.
My Review
Courtney is abducted by aliens but the space craft she's on crashes on an alien planet so she has to use what she has on hand, her roller skates to knock out one of the aliens so she can escape from the craft and onto the planet. She finds herself not equipped to keep herself safe on this planet because of the monsters who would kill her but Crux is there and tries to make her see that she would be safer with him until they can get off the planet.
Prince Crux is a dragon shifter who finds himself trapped on the same planet as Courtney. As he tries to find a way to communicate with his family and get them both off this planet, they find themselves getting closer. Crux is also looking for his mate before his father finds a female for him to mate with. At first he doesn't think Courtney could be his mate because she's human and he always believed when he met the right female to be his mate, she would be his own race but as these two spend time together and get closer, he knows he might be wrong because it's feeling more and more like Courtney is his mate.
Once they are safe, they find themselves in even more danger when someone double crosses Crux and there's a twist in this story that I never saw coming. I love a good twist that makes the story double back around and go in a totally different direction.
I really liked the ending although I would have liked a bit more story about what happened next with them. Maybe an epilogue or something would have been nice.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
