Great story. Took a little bit to get into. It’s best if you read the rest in order. Dragons, trolls, and evil creatures. Action and sex. A woman who thinks she knows what’s best for the guy. The man just wants a chance to show the woman how good they could be together.

What an absolutely fantastic story! I was so worried that Lyndi would be left out in the cold when the dust settled, but the author outdid herself with this tale of love and perseverance. I love how there were so many pivotal changes for the Huracan dragons. Each one caused me to hold my breath until the crisis was over while I anxiously continued reading to see what the next turn of the page would bring. This book made me fall in love with this group even more and I can’t wait to see what new dangerous and exciting things the author brings their way next. They might have to hold a continent together, but if they stay strong as a group I just know they will all find the HEA that Levi and Lyndi have found. This book, and it’s wonderful surprises, are a perfect example of why this author is one of my one-click favorites, and I look forward to reading the next story she brings to life.

This is the fourth book in Owen's Fire Edge series. I don't see this as a stand alone although for the romance it is but if you don't read the previous books you're missing rich world building. There is a crossover series Inferno Rising which this book in particular begins to weave threads for what looks to be an exciting conclusion.

The Protector tells the story of Lyndi a rare female born dragon and Levi. Levi has recognized her from the moment he met her centuries ago as his, Lyndi has fought the attraction because as a female born dragon she can't have children and doesn't Levi to settle for less than she thinks he could have, not realizing he has known that she is all he needs since he met her.

This is a very sweet (with a lot of heat ) story of their journey toward a happy ever after.
