WTF? Book Review - The Zrakon's Bride


The Blurb:


Beauty Meets Her Beast

Are maidens still sacrificed to sea dragons? Kate Beaton is a lover of folklore tales about beauties and beasts, maidens and monsters, princesses and frogs. But when she visits a quaint Scottish village, she is surprised to find that they take the ancient legends seriously. 

Ross Malloch is a modern Highland laird with a family secret-there have been shape shifters at Mallochbirn for centuries. The Zrakon is in his blood. And on Midsummer's Eve, the only thing his alpha male sea dragon can think about is finding his one true mate

My Review:

I had to class this as a WTF? review, it's a paranormal romance featuring a shape shifting sea dragon for Pete's sake! It is a well written and entertaining tale that, to this reviewer at least, had an air of the Wicker Man about it in certain scenes. 
We meet Ross (hot highland laird, vet and shape-shifter) and Kate (insanely beautiful, brave, can talk to animals, loves myths and legends ) and the Zrakon of the title.  Between all of them there are some pretty hot sex scenes.  While I enjoyed the story overall, the fact that the book rattles along at a fast pace is a massive bonus plus it is a fun read; there were times I found the dialogue wooden. I also found that parts of the story didn't make sense with the mythology.  It also didn't help that whenever I read the word Zrakon it does come out in my head as Zac Efron but I digress......

Would I recommend it?  Yes.  Like I said it was fun, it was quick and well written.
