This first book in a new shifter series is certainly unique. It is, to a certain extent, a historical which takes place in modern times. The characters posses all the modern conveniences but adhere to regency mores.
Cas is the best friend of the dragon prince. A Duke with a reputation he is more than he appears. Saphir is the former Captain of the King’s Guard. When the King summons him to request a favor it puts Saphir on a collision course with Cas. There is intrigue and danger afoot as well as a slow developing romance.
The beginning of the book moved at a fairly slow pace. I was unsure if I was going to continue with the book. But since I am normally a fan of these authors I figured I’d stick with it a bit longer. Eventually things picked up and the story got exciting, tense, and made for an entertaining read.
Several aspects of the suspense plot were pretty obvious from the beginning. I was kind of shocked that Cas and the others didn’t cotton on to them earlier. The crisis moment was tense (and yet strangely amusing) and the ending of the book was sweet. There’s a curious scene which is the segue into the next book. Intriguing enough that I will definitely check out book two.
