Rurik Barinov is a rich club who also happens to be a dragon shifter. Charlotte MacQueen is a biochemist who also happens to be the baby sister of the head of the “Brotherhood” a secret organization of supernatural hunters. Just to be clear not a lot of trust exists between dragon shifters and the Brotherhood. When Rurik and Charlotte meet sparks fly. I really enjoy the Romeo and Juliet story line. I’m more of a historical romance reader but I love this series. This is a stand alone novel so you do not have to have read Grigori or Mikhail’s books. I’m a fan of Lauren Smith. I really enjoy how she writes her characters. Her characters actually communicate so time is not wasted on misunderstandings between the main characters. I received an ARC in exchange of an honest review.

Can a fierce dragon shifter and a woman close to the Brotherhood who hunts them ever attract? Not usually but in this paranormal story filled with suspense, conflicted emotions and intense feelings, it is possible. Rurik, the protector of his family of dragon shifters, is also the strongest and fiercest in battle. Charlotte McQueen, sister of the Brotherhood leader, travels to Russia to prove to her brothers she deserves to be one of them. Meeting up with Rurik, turns her upside down because of the intense attraction which quickly spirals out of control. There are many forces at work in this story and it will keep you turning the pages to see what the outcome will be. Lauren Smith takes you through this third book in the Brothers of Ash and Fire series as only she can do... With great characters and descriptions that take you into another world!
