I thought the premise of this book was right up my alley, and I was very excited to read it. However, I felt very disconnected from all of the characters for the entire book, which left the reading experience feeling flat and boring. The point of view switched between three characters which, while necessary for the plot, was a bit hard to follow. I also was super turned off whenever the dragon was in play, because things turned somewhat sexual with Marina, who is a human at the time. It bordered on gross, because after all, he is still an animal. I can understand that she loved him (in her own way) and he loved her (in a very animal-like way), but sexual innuendo was too much for me as a reader. I felt like it went too far.

All in all, it just wasn't the right book for me. I think a love triangle between a man, woman, and dragon is a fascinating plot, but perhaps just not something I should read. Lots of positive reviews for this book, so I think it's just me.

He Walks in Dreams by Darcy Carson, a good first book in the series. A cursed prince and a lost princess with an amoral sorceress seeking the death of both, what could go wrong...

This is the first book I've read by the author. I enjoyed the plot - princess goes undercover as her servant for the trip to her betrothed (whom she has never met), everyone but her is killed. She is rescued by a dragon. The dragon is a man who has been cursed. I also really enjoyed the characters and the world building. It is a combination of fantasy and romance. It was a little heavy in the sex for me.

Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley for my eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A princess and a cursed prince. By day he is a dragon and by night he is human again. A quick and entertaining romantic adventure.

Princess Marina Hersher's caravan is attacked and she is rescued by a dragon. The red dragon, Narud, cares for her during the day and a man, Duran, cares for her during the night. Marina is clothed in a servant's garb and gives the name of her servant, Stav. Neither the man nor the dragon know their guest is really a princess. Duran is a prince but his identity is kept secret also. He must figure out the riddle to break the curse placed on him by an evil sorceress.

The story reads a bit like a young adult novel but it is more of an adult novel. There is 1 love scene but the scene is not overly graphic and a few other scenes involving kissing. I am really not big on the fantasy genre but I really liked this a lot. I will certainly read more by this author. I started reading and it sucked me in and I hated when I had to stop for whatever reason.

This was a pretty good book. The story was well paced. The main character was really exciting to follow on her adventure. I hadn’t read this author before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was not disappointed!

I enjoyed this book. Well written and full of adventure. The characters are enthralling and very easily suck you into the story. I definitely recommend checking it out!

This story has good bones, but definitely felt like a debut that is in desperate need of a developmental editor. It's a diamond in the rough that needs a LOT of polishing. I looked to see if this was a debut author and was surprised to see she has several books out.
