Dragon Actually by G. A. Aiken



Genre: Paranormal Romance; Dragons, Magic, Witches
Sub Genre: Romantic Fantasy
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: It’s not always easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear – a lot – or else salute. It’s true that Annwyl has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother’s soldiers without pausing for breath. But just once it would be nice to be able to really talk to a man, the way she can talk to Fearghus the Destroyer. Too bad that Fearghus is a dragon, of the large, scaly, and deadly type. With him, Annwyl feels safe – a far cry from the feelings aroused by the hard-bodied, arrogant knight Fearghus has arranged to help train her for battle. With her days spent fighting a man who fills her with fierce, heady desire, and her nights spent in the company of a magical creature who could smite a village just by exhaling, Annwyl is sure life couldn’t get any stranger. She’s wrong… [And just wait until you meet the rest of the family…]

This is the first book in the Dragon Kin series. It is the story starts with Annwyl fighting for her life at the mouth of Fearghus’ cave. He takes her in and helps to heal her from her wounds. Over the course of many conversations and training their relationship grows. The dynamic between these two is one that catches you from the start. They are both stubborn and strong willed. It is such a great mix. I really enjoyed this story. What was even better was at the end there was a short story about Fearghus’ parents and their claiming. Which only added more depth to the magical world that G. A. Aiken has created. I loved both stories and can’t wait to read the second book in this series About a Dragon.
