Week 33 Review: When a Dragon Falls

From Goodreads:

In a land of mist and magic, one dragon princess must test her wits against a ruthless and devious enemy . . .

Princess Lenushka of Norveshka prides herself on her courage. She's faced down the doubters who think a woman dragon shifter is worth less than a man. She will marry to secure the support of her nobles—and ensure she’ll hold the Norveshki throne. A battle-hardened soldier, she's prepared to destroy the Brotherhood of the Sun, who threaten all Aerthlan. But she can barely look at Bran Morris, the Raven. His dark, brooding beauty is off-limits for a princess who must wed for advantage. And he has far too many secrets of his own for Lennie to trust him with hers.

Bran's quest is for vengeance, against the Brotherhood monsters who killed his brother and abused his sisters. He can't dream about the sharp-eyed woman warrior whose memory haunts him, not even when she appears to rescue him from an unknown dragon shifter. But when Lennie and Bran discover they're Aerthlan's last defense against a powerful, murderous mastermind, they can no longer afford to deceive each other—or themselves. And when a dragon's passion is freed, anything is possible . . .

My Review:
Oh, this was another fun read in this series! I'm really enjoying the fact that we're getting the next generations' romances, that we saw a few of these characters as kids briefly, and now they're grown up and having adventures and love of their own! 

I had a great time reading Lennie and Bran's story! I really enjoyed getting to know the pair of them, because they shouldn't be together since she's the heir to the throne, and he serves the royals and is full of secrets, which wouldn't work. But the feelings were there, and I adored it! 

The Brotherhood of the Sun has been a threat to this world for a while. The current plots and plans have been pretty awful, and I had such a great time watching these characters face off against them, because they needed to be taken down!

There was much that conspired against them, but they persevered, which was so wonderful to read! It was a satisfying end to the the story, and I really enjoyed how it wrapped up! This was another couple who deserved to find their happiness together! 

This was another great read in this series, and I can't wait for whatever comes next!
