Sometimes your greatest fears bring you where you need to be, no matter how hard the road is.

Victoria

I was stupid. Scared and stupid when I followed the racist leader of the anti-Zmaj into the desert. We were exiled from the rest of the human survivors but hey, at least I was getting away from the huge and intimidating, dragon-like Zmaj warriors. A plus right?

Then I was kidnapped by alien space pirates, stolen from the planet and forced to be their slave. Now I'm scared and alone, but I'm surviving. Somehow. I would never in a million years have imagined missing the desert hell-hole Tajss, the ruined planet that became humanity's home after our generation ship crashed. But I do miss it.

When the pirates finally return to Tajss, a hint of the one thing I've denied myself blossoms. Hope. There are other humans here. Others like me. Could I escape?

Before I can act on the idea I'm kidnapped. Again.

This time it's not the creepy space pirates. No, it's worse. This time it's one of the primitive, domineering alien-dragons. He's massive and scarier than any pirate. He steals me from them and makes off into the desert with me.

I'm scared and confused to discover that the man I thought was a brutish alien is actually confident and kind. The way the light shimmers on his scales is utterly fascinating and he's dedicated to taking care of me. The longer I’m with him the less I'm worried about surviving. Now I have to worry about losing my heart to a Zmaj.

Lothor

The moment I see her my inner dragon decides. She's perfect and she has to be mine.

I've been alone for so long. I don't know how to talk to her, I don't understand her language, and I barely remember my own. I haven't spoken to another in longer than I can remember.

Somehow I have to make her understand that I'm not dangerous. I'm her protector. I'll stand for her against every enemy. I'll care for her and even though I can't speak to her, my actions will win her over. In time. As long as I can carve out enough of it and defeat every threat that fate has in store for us.

She'll learn to love me, eventually, because she is the one. The one I'm fated to find, the one my dragon has claimed. My treasure.

              USA Today bestselling author Miranda Martin writes fantasy and scifi romance featuring heroes with out-of-this-world anatomy that readers call 'larger than life' and smart heroines destined to save the world. As a little girl, she would sneak off with her nose in a book, dreaming of magical realms. Today she brings those fantasies to life and adores every fan who chooses to live in them for a while.

              Though born and raised in southern Virginia, Miranda Martin is a veteran who's traveled to places like Korea, Hawaii, and good 'ole Texas. She's since settled in Kansas, the heart of America, with her husband and daughters, a cat, and wishes for a pet dragon or unicorn. When she's not writing, you can still find her tucked away somewhere with a warm blanket and her nose in a book.

              Although all of the books in this series are standalone stories, it is helpful to have read at least the first book to understand things a little more. This being said; the world building is so great, you can almost feel the heat of the two suns and the grit of sand everywhere!

              This story is a real roller coaster of adventure and drama! Poor Victoria! If she didn’t have bad luck, she wouldn’t have any luck! The girl was kidnapped three times! Holy crap! What a story! The trials and tribulations of this couple are enormous, but, as expected, this book ends with a happily ever after. I also enjoy the reappearance of characters from previous books as it adds to the continuity and richness of the stories.

              Of course I still have questions I would love to see answered in upcoming books:
              Didn’t any children survive the crash landing?
              What are the humans using for clothes (we know clothing wears out, especially under such harsh conditions)?
              Are there any other settlements of humans or Zmaj?

              I can’t wait to read the next book in this series! I couldn’t put this book down until the end!

              The series takes a bit of a different turn with this story. Lothar is a totally new character without any ties to any of the groups we already know about. Victoria was one of the people that followed Gershom into exile. But she was kidnapped by the Zzlo.
              The story takes place over a couple years. It is based mostly on their relationship, although the Zzlo play a big part in it. Towards the end of the book we meet up with some of the members of the Order and even later a couple of people from the Dome City.
              I was sort of expecting a story about a member of the Order so I was thrown off at first. Once I got past my expectations I read the story quickly. Victoria isn't portrayed as the strong female character that is usually in this series but not everyone can be the same. The one thing that stood out to me was that there wasn't any meteor showers mentioned. I figured that would be something that would have happened toward the end of their time together but maybe the timeline was different than I thought.
              Even though this could be read as a stand-alone, I suggest that you read the rest of the series to understand some of the things about the planet and the people.
              I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I did borrow it through KU also.

              I love this series. It's just as hot as the planet!
              Lothor has his shelf of special things, a broken mirror, a smooth, white ribbon, A hair clip he knows these things are important to him he just can't remember why.
              Victoria knew leaving with Gershom’s group was the worst thing she ever done. Now she is on a Zzlo slave ship cooking and cleaning with no idea where she is.
              Victoria is a tough woman, she has to be with what has happened to her after the humans have crashed on Tajss. She and the rest of the humans were on a generation ship heading to a planet that she and her generation were never meant to see. When the ship crashed on a planet so dangerous that even the heat can kill them.
              I feel in love with this series from the get-go and now we are 16 books in and it's still going strong. I need more!

              Fear and anxiety is real. I love how the author brought the female character to life through a relatable story for so many women.
              Parental abuse and the anxiety it caused her in later years. How the support and patience of her draon man allows her to let go and learn she can trust again. It's very cathartic and has some steamy love scenes. Absolutely recommend reading the entire series.

              So I found this book rambling a lot. And then when I got to the end, it just sort of left you hanging. If there was a second book in the series I'm not even sure if I would read it. I am not saying that the author is a bad writer, she does have very good descriptions of what is occurring. I am thinking that a few chapters or paiges for that matter could have been left on the editors floor.
