Silla is an apothecary and healer halfway through her
journeyman trial on the way to becoming a Master healer for
the High Temple of Our Lady of Light, where she was trained.
She is still innocent even though she has had a hard life
and has been on the road five years helping those in need.
Sir Broderick, Brodie, is a Dragon Knight who despite his
youthful appearance is a strategist and engineer as well.
He is bonded to Phelan, an experienced dragon on the Dragon
Council. They are stationed at a Border Lair along Silla's
route to protect Draconia from the skith, giant venomous
snake-like creatures, from neighbor Skithdron. Silla comes
to Phelan's aid when he is hurt by a skith and she and
Brodie experience an instant attraction to each other. When
Brodie learns that Silla can hear Phelan talk he believes
she is his wife to be shared with Geoff, the knight of
Phelan's mate, Qwila.
THE DRAGON HEALER by BIANCA D'ARC is part of her fantasy
romance series DRAGON KNIGHTS. The first line of the
book is
hard for me to get past. It seems bitter or dismissive in a
story that is about magical creatures in a mythical land.
Further into the book I realize the line is more
matter-of-fact than anything else. The writing is not equal
to the story. Everything is over explained and redundant,
but the story is interesting despite the way it is written.
The chemistry between Silla and her knights is palpable.
The sex scenes are steamy and graphic. The world that is
built by D'Arc is tailor made for their menage a trois. I
find myself wanting more of that world, something fully
fleshed out, something more than just a vignette.
If you want to read something quick, passionate with a
little fantasy, THE DRAGON HEALER is your book. If you want
something
with more substance look elsewhere.
What’s better than a knight sweeping you off your feet? Two
knights.
Silla is a healer riding circuit on the border, helping
those in need. When she hears the pained cries of a dragon
in distress, she comes to his aid, using most of her
precious supplies to help the badly injured creature.
The dragon’s knight, Brodie, is fascinated by the woman—the
miracle worker—who has come to help his friend. She is both
beautiful and kind hearted and he quickly realizes she is
his destined mate. And if she is Brodie’s mate, she is
Geoff’s as well, for Brodie’s dragon was mated to Geoff’s
dragon many years ago.
Geoff doesn’t believe in the tales of love at first sight
among knights, but he knows that when either he or Brodie
finds a wife, they will share her. Hearing about the
dragon’s injury, Geoff and his dragon race to help, only to
find the dragon on the mend and Brodie in bed with the most
stunning woman Geoff has ever seen.
Love at first sight turns out to be real and it strikes them
all as they come together and realize that no matter what
the obstacles, they are meant to be together. Silla is the
missing link that will join their lives and make them a true
Lair family.
Warning: Knights like to get frisky and these two are no
exception. Beware the passion, playfulness, a bit of bondage
and a whole lot of three-way loving with a tiny bit of
exhibitionism thrown in for good measure.
