The Queen's Wings: Book 1 of The Emerging Queens Series

By: Jamie K. Schmidt

Narrated by: Erin Dameron-Hill

When the cult of humanity sacrificed a dragon queen, they crippled the breeding process. A female hasn’t been hatched or shape shifted in over 1,000 years.

Carolyn believes with all her heart that she will shift into a dragon. Everyone else thinks she’s crazy. Especially Reed, a sexy dragon, whose disdain for humans almost hides the magnetic attraction they have for each other.

However, when Carolyn manifests a breath weapon, she’s suddenly the new queen on the block. Reed’s not interested in sharing his mate with the other studs, even if the continuation of his species is at risk.

He wants the cult that killed his sister. Now, the cult needs Carolyn on their altar in order to make the curse permanent.

Reed will see them dead before that happens, because if the cult isn’t stopped, not only do the other female dragons remain human, but Reed will lose the only woman he’s ever loved.

A bit let down with the romance

Firstly, this was a very fun and funny story. The narrator mostly did a great job and I will listen to other books by her.

I would've adored the book if it wasn't for the H being emotionally distant the WHOLE book. The h never got any love or emotional support from the H. The h constantly tried to get the H to say he had some form of feelings for her and he disappointed her 99.9% of the book. She never knew how he felt and he was cold, colder and room temperature towards her most of the book.

I understand the H has lived for thousands of years in a society where males couldn't and shouldn't form any kind of attachment to females. I understand that, in his culture, it was always the female who 'pursued' the males and that romantic love wasn't part of the equation at all, ever. BUT, I needed more from him.

By the end I was still not really sure how the H feels about the h. She is crazy about him and he seems to kinda like her (maybe?).

So, as a romance novel, this was disappointing to me. As a fun read with magic and intrigue, it was a hit. I mostly read romance, so this was not what I wanted, but I still enjoyed tye book.
