Review: Rurik by Lauren Smith


 






A dragon’s prisoner… or his deepest desire?

The fiercest of a royal line of Russian dragon shifters, Rurik Barinov spends most days defending his family’s homeland from rival clans. By night, sins of the flesh — drinking, dancing, and sex — keep his volatile warrior dragon in check. Barely.

With his choice of mortal women to bed, he has no interest in changing his bad-boy ways — until a creature of molten sex poured into a tiny red satin dress steps into his nightclub. A jagged edge of raw desire nicks the impenetrable armor around his heart.

Charlotte MacQueen has been told since childhood to stay in school, live a normal life. Leave the family business — hunting down dragons — to her brothers. But tonight, she’s shed her chemist’s lab coat and infiltrated enemy lines to bag a dragon of her own.

She never expected sexy, all-too-wicked Rurik Barinov to capture her, body and soul — the perfect weapon to use against her brothers. Or that she’d fall for the brave, battle-scarred dragon shifter who covets her heart like the most precious of jewels.

Twilight meets Games of Thrones in this hot new dragonshifter romance by USA Today Bestselling author Lauren Smith!

 REVIEW


 Another great book by Lauren Smith!

Rurik, the battle dragon from the Barinov family, was amazing! He’s so sexy, loyal and loves fiercely! When he meets Charlotte he feels an immediate pull to her, and soon understands she’s his true mate.

Charlotte was great too. She’s smart, and so full of life. When she meets Rurik she feels an instant attraction and knows he’s someone special. I loved their relationship and how she brought out Rurik’s softer side.

What made this book different from the rest in the series was that Rurik and Charlotte shouldn’t be together. He’s a dragon shifter and she’s the sister of the Brotherhood leader. The Brotherhood has hunted dragons and other creatures for centuries, trying to protect humans and keep an order. Although for the past 50 years they’ve lived in relative peace, they don’t trust or like each other. So we have a Romeo and Juliet type of situation that added a forbidden ingredient to this story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I enjoyed seeing Gregory, Mikhail and their mates too. I can’t get enough of these dragons!

This book had it all; suspense, action, romance, and a great couple. Highly recommend it to all paranormal romance fans.

4/5
