Review: A great start to a new Urban Fantasy series from Lani Lynn Vale!Looking at the title and synopsis one would assume that this book is just another dragon shifter story.But, it isn't.In this world that the author has created, dragons exist and humans are aware of their existence.There are a special category of people known as the dragon riders, who bond with these dragons when they reach maturity.Keifer Vassago is the prince of the dragon riders.He runs into Blythe when trying to get his brother to come away from his fling's apartment.Both are instantly attracted to each other, but neither of them know the importance or the meaning of the connection between them.

The same day, Keifer loses his powers and Blythe sets her hair and panties on fire!Turns out, they are mates and since the process has begun, his powers have been transferred to Blythe.He takes Blythe away to their sanctuary for safety and slowly they begin to develop a relationship.Blythe forms a bond with Keifer's dragon and begins to learn how to control her powers.Throw in a sect of dragon-rider-haters, a crazy family and a scary prophecy, we get a fantastic romance with action,suspense and steam.

I loved the characters in this book.Blythe is such a feisty heroine.Some interactions between her and Keifer were downright hilarious!And the chemistry between them was well done!Keifer's family was also pretty awesome.The author has put in a lot of work into creating a unique and original world with a very interesting background and history.The dragons were also fascinating.My favorites were Declan and the three ice dragons!

My only gripe with the book is that I think the author could have spent more time developing the relationship between Keifer and Blythe.It felt a little rushed with all the things and distractions going around them.The ending scenes also had a lot of action packed into them.All in all, it was a great start for a completely unique fantasy series!Can't wait for the next book in the series! :D
