Marcus is
searching for his friend in a small and remote village only
to find out that Antoine and his mate both have suffered
violent deaths at the hands of invaders. Their daughter,
Lia, is the village smith, taking on the job after the
murder of her husband. Marcus makes Lia the offer he
intended for her father. Intrigued and with nothing keeping
her in the village, she accepts, only to be immediately
claimed by Marcus as his mate. From then on, things just
keep getting better and better now that Lia finally has a
man that can match her in every way.
I plunged right into the straightforward narrative of
Dragonlord and was charmed by Marcus and Lia. The
uninhibited and earthy nature of Dragonfolk is part and
parcel to the story. Passion rages hot and heavy between
Marcus and Lia at all times, yet there’s wonderful warmth
between them, romance and instant acceptance. The plot is
simple and engaging with a small roster of characters that
also add sparkle to every scene. Viola Grace sprinkles in
her usual touches of sly, witty humor that always adds spice
to her writing. Dragonlord might be part of
the Tarot series but it definitely shines on its own as a
wickedly fun tale. |
