STORY BRIEF:
Talaith is a Nolwenn Witch. The goddess Arzhela took away most of her powers and forced her to marry an undesirable human and live in a village for sixteen years. The villagers attempt to kill Talaith because she's a witch. Shape-shifting dragon Briec sees this and rescues her. He wants to keep her as his lover until he tires of her. For much of the book she insults him and argues with him. He enjoys fighting with her. He likes her anger and resentment. The last half of the book involves gods and goddesses interacting with and using dragons, witches, and humans for various reasons.
REVIEWER'S OPINION (WITH MILD SPOILERS):
The story didn't thrill me. I wanted it to be over. It wasn't nearly as good as book 1 which was about Briec's dragon brother Fearghus falling in love with the human Annwyl. There were two major conflicts between Talaith and Briec. The first conflict was acceptable because Talaith was forced by a goddess to leave Briec to perform a task. But the task had poor plot development. Arzhela took away Talaith's powers and made her marry and live with an undesirable human for sixteen years. Then Arzhela restores Talaith's powers and forces Talaith to kill someone I'll call X. In my opinion Talaith could have been sent to kill X sixteen years earlier. Why wait? Why live without her powers and with this creep for sixteen years? That should have been explained, justified, or changed.
I also did not like the second conflict which was Talaith leaving Briec even though she loved him. Her reason was that he told her he wanted her until he tired of her, and she feared that she would have a broken heart later. This conflict (of breaking up with someone because you fear they will hurt you in the future) is overused in romance novels and ruined the book for me. I can sometimes accept it, but not this time. Other plot developments among the characters were ok.

I've read the following books by G.A. Aiken (aka Shelly Laurenston).
3 stars. Chains & Flames (prequel) (in anthology Dragon Actually). Copyrt 2008. Review Date 8-23-09.
4 stars. Dragon Actually (book 1) (in anthology Dragon Actually). Copyrt 2004. Review Date 8-23-09.
2 stars. About A Dragon (book 2). Copyrt 2006. Review Date 11-23-09. | | | | Another winner (and what a scrumptious cover, egads!) Nov 18, 2009 |
| I love G.A. Aiken's first book of the series, and this second one does not disappoint. In fact, this one - being a full-length story instead of the two shorter stories in the first book - might be even more satisfying in allowing the reader to be more easily immersed in the Dragon Kin world. I love this author's style of writing, and all her characters are such fun. The hero and heroine are wonderful. I love the dragon family and the secondary characters. So much humor, romance, action, and plot. Highly recommended! | | | | Fun,Sexy,and Thrilling Nov 17, 2009 |
This story has it all! I have read both Dragon Actually and About a Dragon and they are both great books. While each could stand on their own I would recommend that you read them in order.This book is chalk full of funny sarcasim, hot steamy sex scenes and plenty of fights. I loved the story and About a Dragon brings back some of our favorite characters from the first book,Dragon Actually.
The female in this book is sharp tounged and isn't afraid to use it against our hero and dragon Briec the Mighty aka Lord Arrogance. He has no understanding at all about human females and has saved one that just isn't willing to "cooperate" with him....isn't she supposed to be thankful or something? These two are a perfect unlikely pair that will keep you turning the page and cheering for them until the end. Add in a secret that Talaith is keeping and the Dragons may end up braided and running for their sanity! | | | Write your own review about About A Dragon (Dragon Kin, Book 2)
