Dragon’s Love by Miranda Martin

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I guess I’m one of the last survivors of the human race and I’m stranded on this hell of a desert alien planet. Sucks to be me. 

Our ship crashed months ago and those of us left are struggling to survive the boiling heat in barbaric living conditions. The only reason we’re not all dead is one of my friends got knocked up by a native alien and he lets us live in his ruined city. We should be grateful but a lot of the humans hate the dragons and the girls who mate with them. Fools. 

The natives are huge, seven foot tall dragon-men with wings and tails and scales. Surly and overly protective, who needs that? Not me. Alien baby fever is the new in thing, but I’m not falling for the hype. I’ve always survived being alone and I don’t need anyone to change that. Try telling that to Shidan, the most annoyingly persistent alien male around. 

Thanks to the primitive nature of the destroyed planet we have no idea what’s happening when things go wrong with my friend’s pregnancy. I’m sure I can salvage something from our crashed ship that will help, but to get there I’ll have to leave the city’s protection and go out in the sweltering heat where everything wants to kill me. The only way I’ll survive is if Shidan comes too and he’s made it clear he wants only one thing. Love.

The heroine: Amara – seven months ago she and her friends crash landed and ended up on a destroyed planet in a city that was once great but is now little more than ruins on a hot desert planet. Her job is as a mechanic, trying to get the cities power source back online. The conditions are terrible, and the machinery is outdated and moldy. She is crabby and frustrated most of the time. She was a pilot, not an engineer so doesn’t really know much about what she is doing.

The Hero: Shidan – He is a Zmaj, a seven-foot-tall dragon man with wings and a tail. He has been kind of following Amara around and keeping close to her. He is smaller than some of the other Zmaj but is still massive compared to Amara.

The Story: Amara is attracted to Shidan from the start but definitely doesn’t want any kind of relationship and for sure doesn’t want to get caught up in the alien baby fever that some of the other human women have gotten lately. Shidan showed up recently at the edges of the city with another Zmaj and they fought a battle over Amara. Shidan won the battle and the other one left the city. Shidan has stuck close to Amara ever since.

Amara is kind of crabby about her lot in life, especially at the start of this book, since she wanted to be a pilot since she was a girl and she fought hard to be the first woman pilot on her team. Though now that they have crashed on a desolate planet, there is no chance for her to pilot any spacecraft. Plus, it doesn’t help that she is attracted to Shidan but doesn’t want to be since she doesn’t want a relationship. Though Overall, the story wasn’t bad, and I liked how it ended.

This book was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Tristan James and Jillian Macie. I like Jillian’s voice and she does a terrific job in this book (and series). She does a lot of alien romance and is one of my favorites. Tristan has a nice voice though he isn’t one of my favorite male narrators. Overall, he does a fine job though.
