Review:
Well the story continues with a short story
of holiday magic and the magic of love between not just two mates, but all the
Dreagan family. Grant has ended a huge
story arc recently and is just gearing up for the next stage in the lives of
her Dragon Kings, but this short holiday story was a sweet bridge between those
two stages. While there are a few little
mysteries thrown in and of course some loving between the most important mating
in millennia to have finally happened, the focus truly is on the love of family
and friends. Con and Rhi are finally
settling into their lives as mates and the others have taken this time of peace
to get time away as well. But the manor is feeling a little too quiet for both
Rhi and Con, so they decide the time is right to embrace the human traditions
of celebrating the holidays. Decorating
the manor, planning a huge family meal, and celebrating the magic and love that
has finally brought them back together Rhi and Con work together to bring
everything to plan in time for their friends’ returns. I really enjoyed seeing the love between Rhi
and Con, reiterating how important they were to one another, but I also enjoyed
knowing that even a love so epic had room in it for those around them to also
be included. They have serious issues
with their futures and decisions must be made, however the holidays are a time
of reflection and celebration so those hard choices can wait a little bit
longer. I am dying to see what comes
next and where Grant will take this storyline, though I loved this short story
immensely. If you loved Con and Rhi as much as I did, you will love this
glimpse into their new mated lives as much as me and not regret a single second
of reading this short story.
