*voluntarily and honestly reviewed the ARC I received from IndieSage PR*

LOOOVED this latest installment in the Blood of the Drakon series. Ezra has always been an interesting character from the first book because he was a water drakon with his own island, and the hermit mentality to pair well with his one-man adventures involving treasure and artifacts under the sea. Like, he's every mermaid's dream. And I enjoyed Sam a lot! It was almost hilarious though with how often he had to save her from getting hypothermia, like... yikes. It's almost like the gods gave her that one thing because of how hot and passionate she was about everything else. This was a lighter read to me, it felt like. More laughter, more feel-good vibes. It almost scares me with what Nic may have to deal with lol. An overall enjoyable, beautiful feel-good-yes-please story that I won't be getting over anytime soon.

I was really excited for the third installment in the Blood of the Drakon series. I fell in love with Tarrant in book two and the brief glimpses of Ezra, the water drakon, captured my interest and had me breathlessly anticipating this one. I was disappointed to find that Drakon's Plunder fell flat for me.

Here's what I did like. I enjoyed Sam Bellamy, our archeologist. She has a passion for her job and in myths and legends, and to find out that perhaps there's truth to the myths? Perfection! The Knights of the Dragon subplot also plays a huge role throughout the series and it adds a good dose of tension.

Here's what didn't work for me. If you've read some of my other reviews, you'll know I'm not a fan of insta-love. I like angst-ridden, push/pull storylines where the characters have to work for their connection. This book was definitely insta-love. Ezra and Sam don't have time to really talk or develop a connection before falling for each other, and I didn't believe in them as a couple. I was hoping the plot would push forward, but it didn't happen for me.

I think anyone who enjoys insta-love would definitely find this much to their liking! Unfortunately, it just didn't work for me.

Drakon's Plunder by N.J. Walters is Book 3 of the Blood of the Drakon Series. 

Honestly, if you haven’t read any of this series yet, then I don’t know what you are thinking...but you are seriously missing out. Ummm hello, drakons...dragons? Need I say more? SMH, just go pick up the books and get to reading. You won’t be disappointed! 

Picking up where the last book left off, we are swept up into a hell of a story. Walters is one brilliant writer and this read is a true display of her abilities. Alpha drakon-shifters, their feisty females, and a realistic world combined with an action-packed storyline makes Drakon’s Plunder one spectacular read.     
 
An ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review of which this is both honest and completely voluntary.

Drakon's Plunder is book 3 in the Blood of the Drakon series and while each book focuses on a separate couple, there is an overarching plot line that is best read from the beginning. So, I do suggest you read these books in order.

Ezra is a water Drakon and the 3rd brother we meet in the series. He lives alone on an isolated island off the coast of Maine. Sam is an archeologist who has been hired by the Knights of the Dragon to find 'something'. They aren't very clear about what 'it' might be. The Knights are responsible for the murder of Sam's mentor, so she plays along with their plan, knowing she plans to steal whatever they find. She has a unique ability to identify artifacts with connections to folklore and mythology. When she finds a mysterious book, she knows its important. She manages to escape and Ezra finds her. He also finds he would quite like to keep her.

All of the drakons are pretty isolated and Ezra is no exception. But, when he finds Sam, he starts to feel a pull he has never felt before. Having just witnessed 2 of his brothers find their mates, he is more in tune with the idea. He is also aware that his brother's mates have unique talents like Sam.

I enjoyed the action and adventure of this story. Sam's job as an archeologist is interesting and her absconding with the artifact the Knights want leads to a manhunt. The Knights are still a bit odd to me. They are a very factioned group and while they are working towards the same goal, they certainly are NOT working together. Its all power struggles and pissing contests. It makes it a bit difficult at times to really take them seriously as a villainous group. However, none of that really mattered because I was so caught up in the budding romance of Ezra and Sam! The romance is my favorite part of this series. Yes, they are fated mates, and there is some instant attraction, but all of them are intelligent people and they don't just swoon right away. Some people hate the fated mates trope, but I adore it and I think this series would be acceptable even to those who don't love the trope.

The climax and plot are pretty predictable but it didn't deter from my enjoyment of the story overall. If you like secret societies, dragon shifters, and fated mates, you will enjoy Drakon's Plunder!

Since I caught the second one from this author in this series I thought why not another one. I enjoyed this conception on this finding it interesting so in I went. This one had quite abit of adventure starting with Sam and the trouble she finds herself into. Revenge can lead to trouble, some would view it as justice,either way it usually turns out crazy. She then crosses paths with Ezra which was a good thing for her. Another thing I like about this series each one is different on what and where they are., but all Drakons though. How they get on with their mate is the fine part also of the reading of the tale. Sam is not ordinary though either so combined with the danger this was one exciting adventure with heat.

4.5 Stars!

From the start it becomes apparent Sam did the right thing by wanting to exact her revenge despite putting her life on the line. Thank goodness Ezra steps in when he does. What they learn about this item she steals is frightening. In the meantime, the Knights are intent on finding her. Now that Ezra has her, he intends on protecting her and keeping her. Strangely enough, Sam feels the same way. She is in mortal danger but she would do anything to keep the Knights away from Ezra. Can they keep each other safe?

Suspense and mystery take a front seat in this story more so than in the rest of the series. But the love between Sam and Ezra is steamy and passionate. It's good to see that the other brothers and their mates are always in the background with their support. I have enjoyed all three books in this series. Ms. Walter's writing is addictive and compelling. Nic's insight into his life shows that his life isn't the party he makes it out be and I can't wait to read his story. I just hope it's not the end of the series.

Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for allowing me to review this great story.

A dissenting opinion.
Once again, here I am giving a house-published paranormal author only an "okay" review for a popular series book. This entry was poorly plotted, relied on insta-love to develop the romance, moved the overarching series plot forward an infinitesimal degree, didn't even do a MINIMUM of research on salvage operations and archaeology to liven up the details, and was all-around so boring I nearly stopped three different times. I mean, I was even yawning through the copious sex scenes and this author is well known for her erotica offerings. I kept thinking it HAD to get better. Yeah, no.

I think my reading notes say it all. I hate that this seems so harsh, but here are my real-time impressions. And I quote (myself, and occasionally the actual book):

* Bit of an info dump at the beginning. Why can't this kind of thing be handled more organically, like in a conversation?
* So the trained and respected archaeologist is suddenly going to turn thief? The first tentative step into TSTL Land.
* Insta-lust on both parts.
* I hate woe-is-me, crying girls. Especially with strangers.
* That is some purple prose.
* We are just now told about her loneliness. So be sure to pile it on thick to justify why she would hop into bed with a man she has barely spoken with.
* Ugh ("He groaned and the sound vibrated all the way to her toes, making them curl.")
* This is so cheesy. ("Because nothing short of a nuclear blast could make him leave this bed.")
* What adult woman wants to be treated like an infant?
* Ugh. (crying AGAIN because her mentor died A YEAR AGO!)
* What a lack of originality.
* Very repetitive.
* Ya think? ("She should be worried about unprotected sex, about a potential pregnancy, but that was the least of her worries. But still..."Should we be using condoms?")
* And wouldn't the next logical question of a four thousand year old drakon be, 'How many children DO you have?' ("You won't get pregnant unless i want you to. Now that was a useful skill. "You're sure?" Not that she didn't believe him, but was one heck of thing to take on faith. Then she laughed. Considering everything else she'd taken on faith since they met, this one was actually lower on the list of crazy.")
* Really lazy. Author couldn't do a minimum of research to add a dash of specificity (regarding the salvage treasures that Ezra had on display).
* Even this is not descriptive enough. Also I am very bored with the plot. (regarding Ezra's affinity with the ocean).
* Plot hole. Wouldn't they have followed the news on the wreck regarding survivors?
* This author is fond of telling us what the characters are thinking and then acting it out. Lends to the repetitiveness. 
* At 92% the author tosses out teaser threads not mentioned before to make you go on to the next book. In this book, all they did was take care of a henchman.
* Even the epilogue is repetitive.

There is a lot of sex wrapped around a thin, barely there plot. This will certainly appeal to some people. In the positives column, this is a third book in the series, and I didn't have any trouble following the world building. Enough details were introduced at the right times to give me the information I needed when I needed it. Alpha possessiveness is on display, and that is very popular, too.

Regardless, this book currently has a 4.6/5.0 rating on Amazon. In my opinion, this book does not live up to that hype. But clearly I am a minority.

Having read Drakon’s Promise and Drakon’s Prey, I was keeping an eye out for the next book in the series, Drakon’s Plunder. So, imagine my delight when I saw it on Netgalley! This is a series I have read and loved and, just like with the first two books, the cover stands out. That slight smile and peek at his tattoo? Purrrrrrr! Plus, I’ve been waiting for Ezra’s story and and delighted that his is next in line! I jumped at the chance and received an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

And, honestly, I liked it! This story picks up right where Drakon's Prey left off. Darius and Sarah are on the run, Tarrant and Valeriya are in the Pacific Northwest, and Ezra is off the coast of Maine doing his water drakon thing. The Knights of the Dragon are looking for Darius, but don’t know about the rest of the family. They also have a crew exploring a shipwreck off the coast of Maine, looking for relics, and when you have Knights so close to Ezra, you know action will ensue. Much like Sarah and Valeriya, the heroine of this story, Sam, has a superpower sense that ties her to the Drakon’s story. In this instance, it is an awareness of supernatural artifacts and much of the plot is related to keeping artifacts safe and away from the Knights. 

As for the story itself, the plot and pacing for this book are much slower than the other two. Aside from two real action scenes, the plot is mostly Ezra and Sam realizing the depths of their affection. And, even then, it feels a bit stilted. First off, Sam is way too okay with having been essentially kidnapped and while she questions and eventually comes to grips with having no way off the island, it was very unemotional. Then Ezra and Sam fall into bed very quickly – and very often. But, aside from his Dragon wanting to be close to her, we have very little in the way of conversation or shared experiences to bond them. And, even the bedroom stuff seems stilted or heavily one sided since he is repeatedly trying to set his lust aside and think about her needs – they hardly seem to be on the same level of interests in the bedroom stuff. Don’t get me wrong, the scenes are sweetly hawt, particularly that bathroom scene, but the internal reminders that he needs to do something besides bang get a bit tiresome and awkward. The story moves very quickly over a matter of days. But, there is no witty banter between Sam and Ezra and I really wonder what draws them to each other. Everything is just a rushed “I love you” and “We’re together forever!” without the courtship and solid basis to build that future with. 

In general, though, I would say the writing is top notch – clearly this is an author that has spent a considerable amount of time writing about shifters. There is a lot of detail to the environment, the settings, and secondary characters are all well developed. You have a clear mental picture of the setting and a general idea of how the characters will behave, based on their personality’s development and descriptions.

The only reason I am giving this book 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 is because it felt like a transitional novel. The first book set up the good guys, the bad guys, and the general conflict. The second book saw that conflict come to a head. But, this one didn’t really have a lot of forward momentum. In fact, it opens it up the possibility of more than 4 books in the series – a number I had assumed based on the number of brothers. I don’t see how the 4th book will wrap up all the conflict and storylines, though, if it does, it will be one whopper of a fantastic book and I can’t wait to read it!!! No, but really. Gimme gimme gimme!

A suspenseful, paranormal romance that's a definite must read! Drakon's Plunder is the third book in the exciting Blood of the Drakon series, and things are getting more serious, complicated, and a whole lot hotter! With the unique storyline, complex characters you can't help but love, humor, angst, intense situations, and intriguing twists, this emotional roller-coaster of a story will have you turning the pages faster to see what happens next. A fantastic book, and addition to this excellent series! 

Ezra and his brothers have been trying to hide their true identities, while simultaneously searching for any information on The Knights of the Dragon, the elusive group that hunts and captures Drakon's for their blood. When Ezra's brother calls with details about the head of the group attempting to salvage a shipwreck near the island where he lives, a ship that had supposedly been carrying items that were important to the group, he decides to check it out. 

Ezra never thought he'd find a woman trying to escape the salvage boat, especially one that he feels unexpectedly protective towards. When her life is in danger, he does what he has to in order to protect her, even though he still doesn't know if she's working with the Knights or not. When it becomes clear that Sam had an ulterior motive for working on the boat, as well as stealing the artifacts that were recovered from the shipwreck, Ezra finally allows himself to acknowledge what his dragon already knows, that she's the one for them, and he's not letting Sam go. 

Even with danger all around them, will Ezra and Sam be able to keep their attractions towards one another in check, or will the explosive chemistry between them be too much to contain? Knowing that she has to leave in order to keep Ezra safe, can Sam give in to her desire to be with him without getting her heart broken? Can Ezra convince Sam that they are safer and stronger together, and that he's not letting her go? Can Ezra keep them safe while trying to keep Sam hidden from the Knights, as well as keep his secret? You'll have to read it to find out! 

If you haven't read this series, I suggest that you start from the beginning. You'll get to read fantastic stories, learn about each brother and couple, and the dynamics between the Drakon's and the Knights. You won't be disappointed! 

I strongly recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

Review: Drakon's Plunder and Blood of the Drakon series the is one of those books you discover like Ezra's Treasure! Ezra is a four thousand-year-old half human/ half dragon.  Sam is an archaeologist with the ability to find mystical artifacts. Sam is looking to avenge her mentor's murder with a secret society, Knights of the Dragon's, that believe in dragons. She is with an expedition to recover artifacts from a ship that sunk in the 1800's. Sam steals an artifact and looks to escape, but the Knights are on to her. In her efforts to escape, she is injured and saved by Ezra.   

Set in a contemporary setting, this Paranormal Romance is hot as Sam and Ezra! The story and characters are unique.  The story of the Drakon's is different than most, as the story deals with secret societies and dragon shifters. The book is well written with lots of action. I am so excited about this series and can't wait to read more! I read Drakon's Plunder as a standalone with no issues, except wanting to know more about the Drakons! If you hadn't guessed, I loved this book.
** Voluntarily reviewed from an advanced copy **

This is the third installment to this series and it doesn't disappoint. I mean, how can it be disappointing when you've got a sexy water Drakon who turns out to be a damsel in distress' savor? Right?!!!

Sam Bellamy is out for revenge. Why? Because she believes that the Knights killed her father figure and she's willing to do anything to make them pay. Including taking an artifact that possess an evil element while sailing in the ocean. You can imagine how her escape wouldn't be easy. Yet she's saved by Ezra.

Ezra is the hot and sexy brother that's a water Drakon. When he sets out to see what the Knights boat is up to, he ends up rescuing Sam and is immediately drawn to her. To say that he's alpha is a bit of an understatement. When he finds out that the Knights are after Sam, his over protectiveness kicks in to high gear.

This story reads much like the first two in my opinion. Like the way the story starts, how quickly the love interests fall for each other, etc. But it works. Hey, if you have a formula that works, stick with it, right? As you can guess, the chemistry between Ezra and Sam is instantaneous and super hot. That being said, Ezra wasn't my favorite brother even though I enjoyed this book. Let's see if Nic can be "that" brother...

Drakon's Plunder is book three in the Blood of the Drakon Series by N.J. Walters. It also is my favorite so far. Ms. Walters creates a dragon world that is vivid and original with Ezra’s island and ocean setting. Again, she has given not just a strong alpha male drakon, Ezra Easton, but also an independent, talented, hardy and resilient female in Sam Bellamy. Like the previous books in the series, Sam has a gift of her own while Ezra can be overprotective to the point of being overbearing. Thant’s a drakon for you.

When the plot is focused on the action and suspense, the story is top-notched. The personal relationship between Ezra and Sam was hot too but had some odd timing. I will admit liking the search for the artifact and the danger from the Knights best. Still paranormal fans will want to read Drakon's Plunder if for no other reason than its uniquely wonderful Water Drakon.

An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley.

This third installment of the drakon series left me captivated again with the world shrouded in mystery and danger that this author has created.

The story picks up where Drakon’s Prey left off only it’s now told through the 3rd brother, Ezra’s point of view. Being a water drakon, Ezra lives comfortably, if lonely and secluded, on a private island off the coast of Maine. When his brother calls him with a warning to be extra cautious, as a research vessel owned by the Knights of the Dragon is salvaging close by, Ezra heads out to find out what exactly all the fuss is about.

Meanwhile, Sam Bellamy, the archaeologist on board the research vessel has snuck away from the rest of the crew and smuggles a book found in the wreckage. After the Knights murdered her mentor and friend, Sam has sworn to get justice. And if the only way to hit a secret and powerful group like the Knights, where it hurts, is to keep their hands off the strange book she found, she plans to destroy it.

Things don’t go exactly according to plan when Dexter discovers Sam trying to sneak off with the book. Lucky for Sam, Ezra, having watched everything from a safe distance, rocks the boat and in the chaos that follows the sinking ship, spirits Sam away to his home.

While trying to stay off the Knights’ radar and accustom herself to a life on the run, Sam learns exactly what drives the Knights and discovers a connection unrivaled by any other that bounds her to Ezra.

What I loved about it:
Each brother so far has been pretty well described, each with their own quirks and personality traits. Ezra, however, had always remained a little more aloof and distant. There was something about him that always stayed just out of reach so I was dying to read his book and I straight up fell in love with him. Unlike his other brothers, Ezra is a less suspicious sort. His approach to Sam was endearing and although cautious, he trusted his instinct when it came to her.

I loved that there was no jerk-phase or pushing away from his feelings. He is probably the most sensitive of the bunch and I think that change of pace from the last two books helped ground this story. He is still all alpha and possessive and growly but also the one most accepting of finding something lasting with his mate.

There was some eluding of the Knights but it wasn’t so intense like in previous books. Sam and Ezra get some down time and touch on the more emotional part of their relationship, probably more so than any other couple in the series, so far.

I loved the little break we get from all things Knights and danger, and chasing and running. It’s still there is the background but it doesn’t overwhelm the story. We get to explore the drakons’ past and piece together important facts that will come into play in future books. *fingers crossed* The undercurrent of danger took a backseat to the romance in this book and being a romance junkie, this was right up my ally.

What I look forward to:
There are so many new questions to ponder for the next installment and I’m wondering which ones will get explained in Nic’s story, up next.

For starters, the idea that there might be more brothers out there somewhere, for these drakons, is exciting. Then there’s the necklace of drakon tears Ezra and Sam uncover in the wreckage, along with the creepy journal. The hint that there might by a drakon being held prisoner somewhere by the Russians and could the author being hinting that Victoria, Temple’s secretary, might actually be a double agent? But probably the most note worthy question I want answered is who are the Dragon Guard and what is their real motivation?

I can’t wait to find out!

This is Book 3 in the Blood of the Drakon’s series.  It can be read as a stand alone and you will understand what’s going on with no problems.  Sam is an archaeologist who specializes in ancient languages and mythology, especially ancient lore and magic.  She had been born with a 6th sense when it comes to finding ancient texts, paintings and things like that.  If other scholars made fun of it, then she went after it.  She’s on the boat, Integrity, to document items being salvaged from the Reliant which had sunk in the mid-1800’ss.  There’s an artifact that she steals before leaving the boat in the middle of the night.  This is when she meets Ezra.  There’s so much exciting and dangerous things going on in this book!  We learn about 4000 year old Drakons and how they begin.  It’s all really exciting things and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.  Now I’m off to buy Book 1 and 2 so I can catch up with the rest of the crew.   I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy that I received from Netgalley.

4.5 - "Never doubt your value." Stars!

We return to the Blood of the Drakon series, with the third book; Drakon’s Plunder finally giving us Ezra Easton’s story.

IMAGE.

I am abso-blooming-loving, this series. N. J Walters has really hit the mother-lode with the guys/drakons that these books are telling the stories of, and just like his brothers before him, I absolutely adored Ezra. Nothing gets my girly parts zinging more than an Alpha growly male, going all possessive over the woman destined to be his mate, and Ezra was all that and a bar of chocolate.

She was his. He’d found her in the ocean, plucked her from the sea. By the laws of maritime salvage, that meant she belonged to him now…

Once again the author managed to give the reader a really great love story between Ezra and Sam, another strong willed, sassy woman, not afraid to speak her mind, and do what she believes is the right thing. All the while their mutual enemy the Knights of the Dragon are still looking for clues as to whether there are further Drakon in existence and for ancient spells and curses to help them capture and use the Drakon for their blood.

It was rare for both sides of his nature-man and beast to be at peace. Sam gave him that.”

As with the last book I felt this part of the bigger story hardly moved along in the scheme of things, in fact there hasn’t been a huge amount of development around Karina Azarov, Herman Temple, and the whole Knights plot since the author set it all up in book one to be honest, a few bad guys may have died along the way, but nothing else of real note(yet). But after reading this one I have a feeling I know why, not that I can say as that would be a huge spoiler!

He’d bring ruin to the world before he’d let anyone take her from him…

That-said I still absolutely adored this book, there is involvement from the previous characters as well, so that keeps everything cohesive and current, and some of the banter between Ezra and his brothers bought a few giggles to the fore.

"I haven’t known you very long, but it feels like I’ve known you forever."

This isn’t a series you can just dip into, you definitely need to read it from the beginning, I also love that the author/publisher are keeping the break between releases small, it means that I am not spending the first few chapters of each book trying to recall everything that has happened previously. On that point I really hope that we don’t have to wait for the next book, Nicodemus Wilde, has been the most un-involved of the brothers up to this point in the story, so I cannot wait to get to know him better.

"You’re never leaving me. Not while I have blood in my body."

Drakon’s Plunder is book three in the Blood of the Drakon series by N.J. Walters.

I’ve been enjoy this series. I like the drakons, half man, half dragon, who are solitary except for the occasional interactions they have between the four brothers. Once they meet their mate; their love is unrestrained, their passion is explosive, and they are unmatched in their protectiveness. 

Ezra I’ve wanted to meet him since the moment he was introduced. He’s a water darken and needs the sea. The man is a recluse, owns his on island, and a salvage company on the main land.

Sam’s an archaeologist and she has a specially gift for finding artifacts seeped in magic or myth. She took a job with the Knights, so she could get revenge for them killing her friend. 

Danger is every present throughout the story. We also get a little deeper into the workings of the Knights and their goals. Sam & Ezra’s relationship is fast. Their chemistry is fierce and fiery from the moment they meet. I liked these two together, but I was a little sad with how quickly their relationship went. I wanted a little more, push and pull, not a total in all at once. The other area of disappointment for me was in them sleeping together after only knowing each other for 6 hrs. With this being an insta-love story, you know that everything is going to be quick.

Drakon’s Plunder was a satisfactory read. It didn’t blow my mind, but I still enjoyed it. I'm curious about the fourth brother Nic and I'm looking forward to his story. This story can be read as a stand-a-lone, but the books are best read in order. 

*Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy provided by Entangled Publishing, LLC via NetGalley with the sole purpose of an honest review. All thoughts, comments and ratings are my own.

'Drakon's Plunder' by N.J. Walters is book Three in the "Blood of the Drakon" series. This is the story of Sam Bellamy (who is a women) and Ezra Easton (who is a dragon shiftier).  I have not yet read the other books, so for me this was a standalone book. Sam is trying to find information on the man/group that killed her mentor.  In doing that she had to go undercover to try to get information.  Doing so has placed her on a ship that now she is having to escape from.  When she in rescued by Ezra who find her unconscious.  Ezra is after the same people Sam is but at first he not sure if she is with the people that he and his fellow brothers are looking for.  But Ezra does know that he is attracted to her and 'his dragon' is not wanting him to hurt her.  Sam too is unsure at first if Ezra is a friend or foe.  But the soon learn what the other is about and Ezra trust her enough to let her into his secret of his dragon.  
I  so enjoyed this book that I want to go back and find the other!

Great fast paced romantic read! I really enjoyed this book and finished in the first sitting. The characters are well developed and the story doesn't lag. This has definitely made me decide to go look into the other books written by this author.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!! 
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I loved this book, so I bought it and the rest of the series to read!

The cover is beautiful and my favorite kind because it has both gorgeous beasts on the cover!

This is the 3rd book in the series, but it is the first one I’m reading.  I saw the book, and it intrigued me.  I didn’t know there were others at the time, but I do now and have bought them all.  I also had another reading friend tell me I would like these, and she was sooo right!  This book is for adults only due to the steamy content and violence.

N.J. creates a really unique and awesome world!  Wow, she had me from the start, and it is really cool!  I especially loved the difference between dragons and drakons.

I really liked Sam from the beginning because she is brave and fierce when it comes to people she cares about.  Ezra has a similar personality when it comes to his family.  He is not sure why, but he is drawn to Sam.  Sam is brilliant and makes some compelling arguments and hypotheses that represent it.  This book is action packed with all the trouble with the Knights.  I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series!

I highly recommend to any dragon or drakon lover because this book was awesome and action-packed!

These books just keep getting better and better.  Each time I think I found my new favorite couple, another book comes along and knocks the previous ones out of the top spot.  While these books can probably be read as a standalone novel, they are so good and keep building to something that you should completely start from book 1.

Sam is an archaeologist with the gift for finding magical artifacts.  It helps that her works tends to put her in their path, but even without her profession she would be drawn to them.  After her mentor was murdered, she was exposed to the very evil Knights of the Dragon, who are determined to hunt down these mythological beings and keep them in captivity for their blood’s gift of immortality.  While she doesn’t necessarily believe in dragons, she does believe that this organization has murderous plans and would appreciate some justice for her mentor.  On this path, however, she’s put herself alongside them, hunting for sunken treasure.

Ezra, who we met previously as one of the drakon brothers, had a very simple plan about sinking the Knights of the Dragon’s research vessel until he found a woman trying to steal something (and being shot for her efforts).  That, coupled with the undeniable draw he felt towards her meant he found himself nestling her in his covers before too long.  As usual, the Knights are up to no good and fate stepped in to align these two strong allies.  Oh, and they also kept another evil book out of the hands of the bad guys.
