Dragon Masters: Fantasy Romance Duet by Tamsin Baker
2.0
Why I picked up this book:
Honestly, I was in the mood for a nice blended fantasy romance that didn't black out the sex, and this duet of stories looked right up my alley. I checked it out on KU.
DNF 12%

What I loved:
I really liked the description of the dragon, pertaining more to its wings and how small touches of that seemed to influence the heroine's community. That's the kind of world building I live for.
Why I stopped reading:
I almost stopped reading on the first page to be honest. While I knew going in that the story had some heavy sexual content, it started off with the character dreaming of getting gang-banged and that opener felt more like a shock and awe campaign.
But I decided to keep going and see if somehow this tied in to the story, but unfortunately after a few chapters, the hero/heroine still hadn't met, and I was a bit saddened (as a reader) to see dragons in stalls like cows.
Overall:
I honestly just didn't connect with this story or the characters. It might smooth out and get better deeper into the tale, but from what I read at the beginning, there was a strange imbalance to everything I just couldn't put my finger on. Who knows... maybe I just picked it up at the wrong time. While it looks like it might be a nice sensual read for fantasy romance lovers, this book just didn't quite engage me enough to continue.
