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.
