A Mate to Embrace

Dragons of Mount Aterna, Book 4

By: Riley Storm

Narrated by: Meghan Kelly

She ran from him once before. Now fate is giving them a second chance.

Grace Atkinson is back in her hometown, Five Peaks. A place she swore she’d never set foot in again. The only reason she’s back is to attend her ex-husband’s funeral. Not because of any leftover feelings, not for that jerk, but simply out of respect. The last thing she wanted while there, was to run into Braz. He’s still just as tall, just as handsome, and looking just as good in a suit. And he’s still the reason she left in the first place.

He had to see her. Dragon shifter Braz Aterna has gone five long years, waiting for this opportunity, and now he has it. He’s not going to screw it up. Again. Things are going to go differently this time. While Five Peaks has changed some, time hasn’t altered the dragon shifter’s feelings for her. Now if he can just get her to stick around for a bit longer.

Braz knows it will take something big to show Grace he’s the one. Like his deepest secret. What he truly is. It won’t be that easy though, because while Grace’s ex may be dead, his sins are most certainly not buried. They have come back to haunt Grace with a vengeance - but she has an angry dragon shifter on her side. Braz is going to do whatever it takes to keep her safe, and show Grace that they are meant to be together.

Will that be enough for the woman he would call his mate?

Slow

This is the 4th book in this series, the books have been ok but this one not so much. It was slow moving, the romance was not romantic at all, and the story went nowhere fast. Eventually there was some action near the end. I felt nothing for the characters. The female love interest was apathetic the whole book then suddenly she was in love which I didn’t get. She totally blew off the guy the whole book, although she was willing to have sex with him but told him to leave right after. It was pretty harsh.

The narrator has this way of portraying the internal dialogue by getting up close to the mic which was breathy, loud and odd. Let’s just say, there is way too much internal dialogue.

It was a struggle to finish this book, even with something else to do. It would have been a DNF except I didn’t have the time to pick out another book to read.

I would not recommend this book and I won’t be going further in this series.
