DRAGONSWORN is book 28 in Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series. When a dragon meets a warrior princess of the underworld, magic happens. Falcyn has the key to saving Medea's gravely ill parents sets out to get what she needs. When Medea winds up helping Falcyn with a family problem of his own, a sudden attraction gives way to deeper feelings. The cheeky one-liners and sexual tension as Medea and Falcyn battle villains -- both ethereal and corporeal -- make DRAGONSWORN so delightfully satisfying and entertaining.

Although opposites can attract, some of my favorite romances are those that have a hero and heroine who are an equal match. Falcyn may be a badass super sexy dragon, but Medea descended from warriors and has proven herself as a fearless warrior in her own right. Because they are both hardcore fighters and have both experienced tragedy, they get each other on a bone-deep level which only adds to the intensity of their natural chemistry. The importance of family is yet another thing that Medea and Falcyn have in common and highly value -- especially the bond between parent and child. The amusing and teasing banter quickly turns into something much greater binding Falcyn and Medea together. I hate alphahole male characters, so I like that Falcyn treats Medea with respect and never makes the mistake of underestimating her.

In DRAGONSWORN, the journey matters as much as the destination. If you must undertake a perilous mission, it's a good idea to take a few resilient companions who know how to survive at all cost. Whether it's BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, or the Suicide Squad crew, I love stories like DRAGONSWORN in which an unlikely group of heroes works together to thwart evildoers. Medea, Falcyn, Urian, Brogan, Blaise, and Shadow make a formidable team and I look forward to reading more about all of them in future books. The chemistry between the group is just as important, and just as delightful, as the chemistry between Medea and Falcyn.

DRAGONSWORN is a delectable romance between two paranormal powerhouses, with characters who cover the spectrum including the divine, deadly, and the dastardly. These are two of my favorite characters, and I'm so happy that Sherrilyn Kenyon has given them the love and story that these feisty, fierce, and fabulous characters deserve and demand.
