"Her Dragon to Slay" By: Julia Mills
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
A story of soul-mates, with humans, dragonshifters, hunters
and magic. Definitely not your traditional love story! Dragonshifters are men and dragons who occupy the same space
with the dragon being called forward when needed. It is an ancient way of
concealing dragons from human eyes. Rayne is a dragonshifter and an incredibly
hot one at that and carries the mark of the dragon. Whilst flying through the
skies in their dragon form, he is pulled by his dragon to Kyndel, a curvaceous,
sassy human woman. She is his mate and she will complete him. Rayne saves her
from attack by a human and hunters that leaves him injured and weakened. Rayne is the commander of his unit and is incredibly strong
and instantly wants to protect Kyndel from harm. Kyndel on the other hand is
fiercely independent, confident, tough and certainly doesn't take any messing
from people. Together sparks fly as they are instantly drawn to each other. Julia Mills is a very descriptive author. The passages are
beautifully written, describing in great detail their first encounter and the
time they first spend together. There is a contrast in the styles of writing
depending on the POV, with the language used for Rayne older in style and
Kyndel modern. This represents the fact that Rayne comes from an ancient line
that is full of tradition, whereas Kyndel is very much a modern day woman.
Julia Mills manages to blend this together perfectly. This book takes it's time in moving through the story as it
explores the emotions and reactions of Kyndel and Rayne to their first meeting
and the immediate attraction they feel towards each other. When they come
together, it is incredibly hot and they certainly have stamina! Character exploration is the driving force of this book but
equally it has a great story. Once Kyndel comes to the same realisation as
Rayne that they are meant for each other and she realises that she completely
trusts him, the plot picks up in pace with the pack of hunters hunting him and
Kyndel down. There are lots of twists and turns that keep you interested to the
very end and with lots more dragonshifters searching for their mates, there is
lots of scope to explore in future books.
