Description
He’s one of the last of a powerful but vanishing bloodline . . .
Grigori Barinov is the eldest in an ancient line of dragon shifters and the guardian of his family’s lands and fortune. Sworn to protect their history and magic, he won’t rest until he neutralizes any threat to their existence. When he discovers that an ancient manuscript which exposes his family and their dragon lineage has fallen into a mortal woman’s hands, he knows he must get the book back by any means necessary. If that means seducing a nosy American woman with an intoxicating scent, he is more than willing to carry her off to his palatial home deep in the heart of Russia.
She’s the one woman who could expose him to the world . . .
Madelyn Haynes has never fit in. As an adopted child, she grew up in a loving home but never felt as though she belonged. Plagued by mysterious dreams she’s had of a silver scaled beast ever since she was a little girl, she is convinced dragons are real. While in Russia working on her PhD in mythology in order to escape the ridicule from fellow professors, she unexpectedly crosses paths with the sexy and dominating Grigori, and after just one night with the man whose eyes seem to burn, she starts to change inside. Isolated in the Russian wilderness Grigori calls home, Madelyn can’t help but fall under his sensual spell, yet something deep inside her calls out that she can’t trust him. She has to show the world dragons are real to salvage academic reputation, even if it means costing her the heart of the dragon she’s falling in love with.

This story kept me turning pages. Madelyn was a sweet, determined woman with a sketchy past. She has her fears but kept going anyway. I loved that, despite her misconceptions, she was willing to believe the unbelievable. Grigori was the protector of the family secrets as well as the eldest of the Barinov brothers. His soft heart as well as his fierce protectiveness for family and Madelyn, made him a hero for me to adore. There is plenty of action to keep the story moving, and I look forward to the rest of the brothers. I highly recommend this story.
I received this story as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.
