Burned by Darkness: Baine and Tayla
(Dragons of Eternity #1)
Summary:
From Goodreads.com
The Dragons of Eternity were once creatures of myth and
legend. Now they’ve returned to the world, prepared to claim what’s rightfully
theirs…
Tayla is desperate for a place to call home. After years on
the run, the young imp impulsively buys a teahouse and is determined to build a
new life. Unfortunately, she’s barely opened the doors when she’s tracked down
by the dragon who purchased her from troll slave-traders. He demands she pay
off her debts…in his harem.
Baine has devoted a quarter of a century to tracking down
his beautiful concubine. And now that he has her in his grasp, he’s not about
to let her go. But it’s soon apparent that he isn’t the only demon hunting her.
He must uncover her secrets or risk losing her forever.
Review:
I love dragon shifters, who wouldn’t?! So I had some high
hopes for this one but sadly, I was left kind of meh at the end of this short
novella. So Tayla has been on the run
for 25 years and finally settles down to have her own teashop which has been
her dream but something happens, I can’t really remember what but it brings her
scent back to Baine who has been hunting her for 25 years, but he’s not the
only one that has been hunting her for her rare gift. Turns out that her dad
sold her into slavery to some trolls which then sell her to a dragon (Baines
father) and Baine takes one look at her and decides to make her his so he buys
her from his father for a small fortune. When Baine finds her again it starts
this whole downward spiral of people hunting Tayla for her anti-climactic gift.
The story is kind of eh, and the characters aren’t much better. There was
little of A. Ivy’s usual humor and action. All around it was just mediocre. It
wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. Usually I enjoy Ivy’s stories, but this
one fell flat. Maybe I’ll read on in the series but I won’t be grabbing it at
first opportunity.
