The Hero: Lucien – he is a dragon shifter and Prince of the House of Smoke. For a dragon prince to be born, there were a bunch of requirements. Since it was an immortal magical creature carried by a human. the mother’s love had to be true for the sealing to take and to remain sealed throughout the pregnancy. Lucien had tried to create an heir before, and the human female died. He didn’t want that to ever happen again, though in order to keep to the treaty that protected the mortal world from the Dark Fae, he needed an heir.

The heroine: Arabella – she was a human woman, a lawyer with a strong constitution. She fought for herself against a demon in the first book of the series and that was how she found out that the supernatural world existed. She pretty much took it in stride and fell for Lucien and now is having his child.

The Story: Lucien still has flashbacks and bad dreams about another time and another woman who was having his baby, and they always end in blood and death, so he is afraid that the same will happen to Arabella. Though he knows her love is true, it has to stay true until she gives birth if she has any chance of survival. However, Lucien has given her reasons to doubt him and that is what scares him the most.

I didn’t like the fact that this book was part of a trilogy of Lucien and Arabella’s story. Since it began with Arabella already pregnant with Lucien’s child and they were living together. I had read the first book in the trilogy about a year ago. Though I never purchased the second book, I bought this one, thinking that each book was about a different couple, so I started this one not remembering much of book one and never having read book two.

I did like the fact that if Arabella survives the pregnancy, she will be basically immortal. She could survive almost anything including gunshots and she will live about 500 years or so, the same lifespan as Lucien. The characters were great as well. I liked the fact that Arabella’s best friend Rachel had grown up with her in foster care and they still told each other everything. Lucien’s dragon friend Kinney was so strait-laced and had a crush on Rachel.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell. Joe has a deep gravelly voice that I really like, and he is great at doing different voices for different characters. Maxine has a clear, feminine voice and shows emotion through her voice beautifully. Both are terrific narrators.
