Fangs, Flames, and Allure

All of Zara Zenia books are awesome. But I truly love this Reverse Harem one! The storyline is awesome. The characters have fantastic personalities. Kate is a college student. Her sister Eva is mated to two Dragon shifters, and two Vampires. She now lives in the planet Desergan. While at college Kate is stalked by two sexy Vampires. She also meets two hot Dragon shifters. They tell her she is the key to saving all Vampires and the Dragon shifters on the planet Ethwan. Kate tries to fight the attraction she has towards the four men. Only Fate has a mission for the five of them , and you can not fight fate! Kate must follow her heart. Even if it puts her in the middle of danger! You will love this super exciting, suspenseful, thrilling, funny, and scorching hot Reverse Harem Romance!

I have to say Zara always surprises me with her books. This book is totally different than what i expected, her flair for writing reverse romances is expectional, i really was surprised , pleasantly i might add that it was Katie who had the insite to bring them all together. . Katie has had reacurring dreams for a while now, and is questioning what life has in store for her. She is approached by two vampires at first she is afraid of them, but then she is given an oppurtunity to find out about her dreams, so she goes with Roger to their den where shemeets two dragon shifters. They are both from Ethwan, one of them a king. After travelling to Ethwan with the King , Katie knows what she has to do. Can she persuade the four men to become one family?

I was sadly dissatisfied with Katie, Brent, Roger, Ken and Carl\’s story when I had enjoyed Ava\’s adventures so much. Perhaps that was the reason, but there was more that left me feeling a little cold to this story. I thought that they were all emotional minefields-you really had no idea when they were going on lash out at one another. Brent seemed to be more even keeled as he was king, but even he didn\’t have what would inspire me to follow him. I get what Katie was saying in that each of them would be an integral part of ruling Brent\’s world together, but I still felt that all of them needed to show more maturity. It was hard for me to believe that Katie was older than Eva because she seemed to be emotionally immature for most of the book. Also, the conflict didn\’t seem to be very much of a problem. It wasn\’t like the evil coming after Eva in the first book. I really wanted to like this story. But there wasn\’t enough oomph and meat to keep me suspended in the fictional world instead of my everyday life. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book, and I also borrowed this book through the Kindle Unlimited program.

Katie Steele settled in comfortably for the ship ride to Desergan, the planet where her sister Eva currently lived. She will be spending the weekend, using the time to reconnect with her sister. Beginning to sleep, she had a dream she has had before, of an unknown planet with a bright yellow sky, the ground red, and very hot temperatures. Is this a premonition? Then her mind shifts to the woods where Eva had been attacked by wolves. Two dragon shifters from Desergan and two vampires rescued her by transporting them all to Desergan. Trylor, one of the shifters, is the king and Eva lives with them at the palace now. Back on campus, Katie heads down the steps to go to class. But a creepy feeling that she’s being followed causes her to take the steps two at a time. Two guys that she has seen on campus seem to be studying her all the time. There is something cold, dark, and brooding about them, aside from the fact they are both vampires. But today Katie decides to face them and stand up for herself. So in a hallway filled with people, she turns around to face Roger and Carl. Roger, the quiet one, stays out of it while Carl flirts with her. But she walks away. Roger and Carl agree that they have to talk with her before the others get involved; so Roger will take the lead with a more gentle approach. Katie falls asleep in class and has a nightmare again. Her friend wakes her and she goes outside for some fresh air. Roger scents her blood before he hears and sees her round the corner. He steps out and holds her arms and tells her he wants to talk. She resists until he asks if she wants her nightmares to stop! They walk for a long time and she still doesn’t trust him. The others said she had to come with him willingly. And if she came with him, she would know why they needed her. She feels a connection to him, as he does to her, and she begins to trust him. Carl is waiting anxiously for Roger and Katie. Brent and Ken, dragon shifters from the planet Ethwan, are also waiting impatiently. They are ready to reveal her role in this strange situation where she is a key player without knowing why or how. Without this solution, their species will die! This story concept was good, but it seemed to drag on and on in many parts. Ken and Carl acted like immature teens, goading each other toward a fight and whining to get their way. It made them totally unbelievable to me, and downright annoying. More than halfway through the book, I still intensely disliked Ken and Carl; even Brent was getting more obnoxious. And I still hadn’t figured out what Katie’s purpose was in being there! Although written well, and a few enjoyable interactions, the book was too frustrating to really enjoy thoroughly, despite my love of aliens, dragons, and vampires. This was not one of my favorite books by this author.
