3013Alexis Donovan is a woman whose dream of falling in love with the perfect men has been dashed because of her infertile status. Still recovering from a war that almost destroyed the world, humans have fought to rebuild and have once again opened their shields to outside visitors. As a liaison officer for alien races that are visiting Earth, Alexis does her best to ignore what she can never have, but when she is put in charge of four visiting alien warriors, her entire world changes…

Dragons Warriors from Arcadia, Xavier and Galan Tesera and their best friends Thorn and Brydan Volis, have been curious about Earth ever since they helped the humans defeat their enemy years ago. As commanders of their own space vessel they travel the galaxies searching out the unknown, but in their hearts they know they will never truly be satisfied without a mate by their side.

When the four Dragon Warriors land on Earth they are instantly enamored with the sharp-tongued liaison who ignites a burning passion in their hearts, and know that she is the mate they have been searching for who will complete their souls. Will Alexis take a chance on four alien warriors or will the fear of leaving everything she has ever known destroy her chance of finding true love?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

If you want to immerse yourself into a book that has a lot of sex then this is definitely the book for you.  I love erotica in books, don’t get me wrong, but that is all this story seemed to be about, there was very little to the plot and the story was lacking depth.  I must add though that the erotic and intimate scenes were written well, there was just way too many of them.

Alexis is a non fertile female, thus she is not desired to be in a bonded relationship with a pair of men.  She has given up hope of ever having a loving relationship when the 4 Arcadian Dragon Warriors come to visit earth and vow to claim her as their mate.  The 4 warriors take her by surprise when they decide to mate with her, she can’t believe that they would want her.  The 4 Large Dragon Warriors make her feel wanted, loved and treasured.  They will do anything to make her happy and protect her with their lives.  The story really evolves around the 5 of the main characters and thier feelings for one another.

I wish the author would have given us more action and expanded on the story more and developed the characters so that you could actually relate somewhat to them.  It seemed like it was just sex scene after sex scene because their were 4 men and one female.  The erotic scenes were way too long sometimes and I wound up skipping through them sometimes.  I would say that about 80% of the book was erotica and 20% was an actual story.  This had so much potential to be so much more than what it actually was.  I have read the other Arcadian Dragon Shifter novels by this author and was looking forward to this being on par with them.  This book didn’t even come close.

Heat level -4

Plot – 2

Character Development – 2

If you like reading menage, hot steamy sex scenes and little else then you would really enjoy this book, if you want to read a story that will capture your imagination and draw you in, then maybe this is not the right book for you.
