I hate when an MMC takes it upon himself to decide what his love interest does or does not deserve/need/want - and that's exactly what happens here.
There were other small things about the writing itself that lacked finese. In the first chapter Wren is referenced as the older sister in at least three different wordings/phrases in at least 6 different sentences/paragraphs.
Very solid idea, but I didn't love the execution. I almost liked the time before they acknowledged they were mates more than the time after they did - and that doesn't seem like it should be the case....more

I can't say why I liked. I just did. This is extremely slow with a huge helping of "not like other girls", but sometimes I like that. And in this caseI can't say why I liked. I just did.

The writing, the characters, the romance is all on point as is to be expected from Kathryn Moon. I didn't love this as much as I was hoping to, however I am absolutely still invested and want to read more from this world.
I am not a historical romance reader, and this is absolutely a historical romance with dragon shifters and a different take on omegaverse. I didn't care for the political and high society parts. And there wouldn't have been a plot without those parts. I would have had no problem reading about Ronson and Mairwen in the castle the whole book.
There is explicit sex, but the flavor of it was more romantic and soft, and the language used was more poetic. The scene of their first night together when Mairwen explores Ronson was magical. I really liked how quickly Ronson was on Mairwen's side and interested in learning every detail about her he could. Their dynamic was flirty and sexy and simply wonderful....more

It didn't make sense to treat their mate bond as a secret when she knew about shifters. And there was no need to see Gaby in "reporter" mode to figure out their relationship.
I'm sure other people will like and love this so do give it a try....more

This was alright, and (sort of) unfortunately I was invested enough to finish the series. I found the story to be convoluted. The characters seemed to luck into answers and solutions instead of by being smart or cunning. I'm still not entirely clear on why the bad guy did what he did. It also wasn't made clear why the guys were so into Raven from the start because there was no magical or fated mate bond. The sex scenes were fine, but a couple happened at really odd times and therefore were very unsexy. This would have worked better for me as three books. I'm not sure I'd read another paranormal/fantasy series from this author....more
