It gave a strong message against the racism towards people who are different from us - the Morgons were half-dragons, yes, but they were superior to humans despite them not abusing that fact. She even gave Lucius a run for his money when he was being too stubborn! The story wasn't focused only on romance, though. Lucius was a delicious hot Alpha male, one that takes no shit from people who try to harm what is his - be it his business, his family, or his woman - and Jess was a strong woman who wasn't afraid to speak her mind and defend equality between the species no matter how others treated her. She gave me sexy scenes that were enough to get my laptop scorched inside-out!She also gave me two wonderful main characters, full of flaws and deep personalities. But it was all good, because Cross doesn't disappoint.

It has the passion and the sexual tension - God knows how I managed to survive reading it without screaming, like I was the one needing to get laid instead of the characters. And Alphas, duh! So you can imagine my delight when I realized that this book had them all. I also loooove anything to do with dragons, and strong heroines. And once a dragon finds his mate, there's nothing anyone can do to keep them apart.I do love me some hot romance. But after a girls-night-out goes wrong in his club after which he saves her, Lucius can't deny his dragon wants this woman more than anything. Lucius is a Morgon and Jessen is a human, and their families are business rivals. However, Juliette Cross managed to prove she CAN do it!Lucius Nightwing and Jessen Cade are two creatures that could and should never be together. I have, but they usually come from authors I have tried before. Now this doesn't mean I haven't read such books before. While holding my stomach and rolling on the floor. 'Jessen, if you don't know it by now, my heart is already yours.' - Lucius NightwingIf someone had told me that it IS possible to have a good, complete story in only a bit more than 100 pages, with no prequel of said story anywhere to grab on, I would have laughed.
