Dragons Of Preor; Volume One by Erin Tate by Celia Kyle My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A good value collection of books - the first three in the series:
#1 - Jarek - 3*
Dragon shifter and Prior Warrior Jarek sen Claron is 457 years old and is ready for his final flight into the skies. He has travelled to Earth as the War Master for the Prior third fleet and has decided that this will be his final assignment. He will help his fellow Preor to find human women as mates and will return home before the madness of loneliness takes over his mind. Everything changes the split second that he sees human Melissa, however, she was never registered as a mate hopeful and with the Knowing between them she should not be able to resist him, but she then does just that! Jarek really wants to giver her a choice but everything within him is screaming at him to just put her under his wing and mate her no matter what she says. However, he has some enemies circling him and so does not want to pull her into that situation. It seems that it is not popular among his kind that the son of a man who was a Preor mass murder should have a mate. Can he survive what is coming or will he die without having any more interaction with him?
This was an action-packed start to the series as Jarke fought for his life as those who were against him did everything in their power to rid the world of him. I felt very sorry for him as it is not great when the child has to pay for the sins of the father but I did find Melissa to be a very strange character. It seemed like she was very spoilt the way she kept running to the Ujal for help and their protection - something which jarred against the fact that she had had to be so strong and able to care for herself. I am just glad that she finally realised that fighting it was a pointless exercise and that her mate was being constantly severely injured as he tried to protect her and ensure that she was free of the men who were after him. Easy to read and understand, I would definitely read the next story in the series and just hope it was a bit more believable. Contains some explicit sexual content.
#2 - Taulan - 3*
Lana Cooper is really at rock bottom - she only has $100 left, has no job and her car has finally given up on her - all because of a guy. Her focus is on getting a job, but just the one walk along a beach changes everything - she ends up with a job but not what she thought - she is now the mate of a Preor dragon male. Taulan sen Pavon is anxious to return home to Preor as he feels he has to abandon his hopes to find a mate and go back in order to heal in the privacy of his aerie. He no longer feels worthy of a mate after his body was badly damaged in an explosion. But then he finds Lana and just her presence has initiated the Knowing for him. Can he live long enough to claim her and can she see past her father's prejudice in order to love him? There are still those Preor who despise the joining of humans and dragons and so will they both survive in order to find out if they have a future?
This was a dramatic story with plenty of twists and turns as they both fought both known and unknown forces in order to have the chance of a future together. I loved the way that they communicated and worked together as they came to know each other as well as the way that they overcame their problems. Contains some sexual content.
#3 - Kozav - 3*
Nurse Grace Hall is on duty when five Preor warriors are brought into the emergency room and the doctors do nothing. So Grace steps forward and because they look human she starts to work on them doing what she can to help. One warrior draws her attention with his teal coloured wings and pain glazed eyes has her torn between needing to touch him and healing him. When she finishes working on them she blacks out and knows nothing more. Kozav sen Aghin is the Primary Warrior of the Preor Third Fleet and is very weak when he wakes up on the battleship. Yes, he is healed but he feels as if something is wrong and then it hits him - he found his mate on Earth and she has been left behind to be alone and unprotected which is totally unacceptable. As he still carries guilt from the great conflict he is determined not to fail the curvaceous green-eyed woman who is his to cherish and protect. When someone attempts to take Grace from his life Kozav is prepared to do whatever it takes to get her back even if it means he has to kill one of his own kind. Can they have the future that they both want and deserve?
I liked this story which had lots of danger and drama involved right from the start. I loved the way that they had to settle into a relationship even though they both had the Knowing which was good to see. Grace was definitely sassy and took absolutely no prisoners which were great to see. Easy to read and very enjoyable. Contains explicit sexual content.
