The Reluctant Lord by Michelle M. Pillow

4.0

Lady Clara is from a planet where emotions are repressed (think Vulcan from Star Trek). She has a humongous amount of brothers and sisters. Her sisters are pregnant but cannot give birth until the last of their generation, Clara, is mated. She has sent off every suitor sent to her and as a last resort she is sent to meet the Dragon Princes and Lords.

Lord Vladan, adopted son and Ealdorman Honorary of the Draig. His parents were killed in a mining accident. He loves his brothers, but still feels more commoner than Lord, he yearns to shift and run free and wild. And that is what he wants in a wife, passion not perfection.

Lady Clara was hard to like at first, all that ice princess exterior. However, when you met her parents you kind of see how she ended up that way. I loved the get out clause her mother came up with!!! (You'll need to read it to find out what. Vladan is so down to earth, happy with his friends and family, no matter what their station. He takes is duties, and their safety, seriously.

Now to read Riona's story - really need to find out what happened to her!!!!
