Dragon’s Mate by Miranda Martin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Like being stranded on a desert alien planet wasn’t enough… 

All I ever wanted was someone to love. Now my best friend is knocked up by the only hunky alien-dragon available and I can’t tell anyone how totally jealous I am. The handful of humans who survived our ship’s crash are locked in a struggle to live in sweltering heat with dwindling supplies. 

The others are taking the life giving, addictive epis but if I take it that means I’m stuck here. Forever. Which also means the chance of being rescued by a knight in shining armor would be zero. 

If that weren’t enough, I go and get myself kidnapped and he’s another big, sexy, alien-dragon warrior. 

Dragon’s Mate

The heroine: Jolie – she was a member of the research vessel that crashed on the desert planet and best friend to Calista from Dragon’s Baby. She had always wanted to find love and be swept off her feet by a handsome man, and was a bit jealous of her friend who got what she thought was the only available dragon on the planet.

The Hero: Sverre – He is a zmaj, a dragon on the planet Tajss. He has his own territory and doesn’t live in the same abandoned city as Ladon from Dragon’s Baby. He had initially argued that they should stay together, but each became territorial and the fight for treasure had separated them, so now each of them has their own territory. However, he crosses into Ladon’s territory because he wants to see what crashed on his planet.

The Story: The zmaj are kind of half dragon half human. They have dragon wings on their bodies but can’t really fly so much as float from high places or lift off the ground a bit. They also have scaled reptilian like skin and humanoid faces. They are adapted for the heat on the desert planet and are great hunters which is good because there are a lot of dangerous creatures on the planet.

Jolie is alone one day, trying to turn on the dome when she is attacked by creatures. She is knocked out when Sverre, who has been watching her, comes to her rescue. Jolie hadn’t yet taken any of the Epis which is a plant that grows on the planet and changes humans on a cellular level to be able to handle the desert environment. Though once changed, the human is addicted and can never leave the planet because they need the Epis. She still hoped to one day be rescued and wanted to leave.

This book was told in dual points of view by a dual narration. It and was narrated by Tristan James and Jillian Macie. Both are very good narrators and are great at displaying emotion through their voices. The story was quite different than the first one and there were new dangers on the planet, including some aliens that were once at war with the zmaj when their species was decimated.
