After reading the synopsis I was hoping to really enjoy A Dragon to Tame the second book in Susan Kearney’s The Pendragon Legacy series. But I hate to say this book was a big disappointment. When you pick up a book; whether it’s Science Fiction, Western or Drama. When sexual tension is the undertone of moving a plot along, you know that the main characters will act upon it sooner or later. This is what we as readers hope for…But to have the characters’ desires, be the focus of saving an entire planet…I hate to say I couldn’t buy into it, which made this story unenjoyable, to say the least. With all the talent and skills that the two main characters had, I was hoping for a better ending.

Some readers may enjoy A Dragon to Tame, but I have to say this story wasn’t for me.

A wonderful futuristic romance with a splash of fantasy thrown in. Looking forward to more Pendragon series!

Hot and steamy works for this book. Susan did it again. Amazing plots, characters and adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamics of each character in this book. I am eager to read more.

This is a great book, that is action pack with romance and love between two people. I’m looking forward to read more from this author.

Reissue of Susan Kearney's Dragon to Tame is for readers who enjoy sexy human dragon relations and humans rescuing enslaved dragons.

this is the first book by this author that I've read. While this is book 2 in the series, the blurb sounded interesting & I was in the mood for some sci-fi romance so thought I'd give this book a try. There was sufficient back story provided that I didn't feel lost in either the world building or series plot but suspect that you may enjoy this book better if you did read the first since the h/h apparently have their first meet & interactions during that book and you might have a better feel for the characters personalities/motives going into this one. As it is, Rion has already decided his only course of action is to seduce Marisa into helping him (then almost immediately to kidnap her as time becomes of the essence) so that you are left with the impression of him as calculating Lothario cad (later in the book you do get some sense of his internal struggle between honor and the need to rescue his people). Meanwhile Marisa was inconsistent other than her attitude toward Rion would switch at any moment (like a swing in a storm) from one side to the other -- from burned from her divorce & wanting nothing to do with romance to all for the seduction, anger & fear at her kidnapping to want to hot & heavy, angry & hurt at apparent lies & secrets (which he had good reasons for) to he was her hero. I found it frustrating and difficult for me to care for them as a couple which in turned dragged the story. I did find the world building interesting, enjoyed the pace and amount of regular action & danger that they went through and the over all plot of the story. However I did have 2 issues with the end of the story which (in conjunction with me not connecting with the couple till late) resulted in an overall sense of the book being just ok for me. The 1st was how they "overcame" the enemy's control in order to initiate the rebellion -- while the idea/theory was interesting, the execution did not work for me; 2nd was that the immediate success of the rebellion and recovery

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

While this is book 2 in the series, you really don't need to read book one but it does make references to events in book 1. I actually thought that this book was much easier to understand than book 1.

I really had a hard time liking Rion to start with as he had so many secrets that he was keeping from Marisa. I really hated that he slept with Marisa and let her think that they could have a relationship when in his mind that would never happen.

As the book progressed, you can finally feel that Rion is seeing that Marisa is just more than a pawn that he can use to free his planet. Yet, while he finally realizes that he loves her, he still won't allow an offworlder as his wife.

There are a few twists in the story but I kind of suspected the identity of the traitor, and there was all the times that Rion and his father worked to change the history when they got their "flashes." Kind of interesting that in keeping his son safe, Rion's father allowed his planet to fall into enemy hands.

How funny the way that the only way to stop the pain when in dragonshape was Marisa's emotional state and that great sex was needed so often!

Loved the help that Merlin gave and the final appearance of Merlin was a surprise but I guess it should not have!!

Really looking forward to the next book in the series - now I am really hooked!

I received a copy of A Dragon to Tame by Susan Kearney from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was intrigued by the summary and really wanted to like this novel, but the storyline could have been pulled together better and the characters developed more (less flat). It was a struggle to continue reading several times (even during the steamy moments).

Unfortunately, this book just missed the mark for me.

Enjoyed this book. Wished I had read the first book or had a little more background on the world painted in this story but still was a very enjoyable sci-fi action romance. Will be looking for more.
