This was an entertaining romance, with likeable leads and an intriguing society of dragons who masquerade as humans. While it was clear there have been previous books in the series -- and more saga yet to come -- the relationship between Kimber and Maricara stands nicely on its own. I enjoyed the details of the dragons' existence and especially delighted in her portrayal of the heroine *as* a dragon.

The book would have earned more stars from me had the plot been more complex and/or there had been more substance to the story of the characters' relationship. That said, Abe did a nice job of balancing the required tightrope of tension and attraction: providing valid external reasons for conflict between the two while portraying each as behaving in a way that justifies and validates the love of the other.
