My Review: 5/5 Stars

Kyle has never truly forgiven himself for the mistake he made when he was younger that nearly resulted in the loss of his clanmate’s life. After that, he vowed to make sure he was the best doctor he could be for his clan. Taking his responsibilities more seriously and not getting distracted. However, in doing so he has pushed a lot of those who love him away. Keeping everyone at arm’s length and wearing himself down in the infirmary to make sure if he is needed he is there. Fun hasn’t been a thing for him in a long time. But everything changes when Lexi and Ethan enter his life. Lexi’s job is to help orphaned dragon children. And when Ethan is brought to her after being dumped by his parents because they realized he was a dragonshifter, she is determined to help him. First is contacting his dragonshifter father. He may not have ever known he has a son, but he has a chance. If he will answer his damn email. Determined she goes to the clan with Ethan and confronts Kyle. Neither are prepared for what meeting another will do. Kyle’s surprise at having a son is big and his fear that he will not be a good one worries him immediately. But a little coaxing from his dragon and Lexi, this strong woman who is waking up something in Kyle, well, he wonders if maybe a mate and son are in his grasp. If he is brave enough to take it. Loved this story! I loved Lexi’s spirit and determination to help the dragon children. She wasn’t afraid to go toe to toe to Kyle and it was a delight watching him meet his match. I loved that Kyle found a reason to let go of the past and embrace the future with his son and Lexi. And it was really fun being back in the US for a dragonshifter book!
