Review: Ancient Enforcer (Ancients Rising #3)

Ancient Enforcer (Ancients Rising #3)

by Katie Reus

Blurb:

An ancient dragon warrior determined to protect what’s his…

Former general Mikael lost everything thousands of years ago. His clan, his family, his honor. Now he’s awakened in a new world that has devolved into chaos—fire, blood and destruction. He and his brothers are ordered to live with Avery, a human female, and her younger brothers. Avery is nothing he should want. She’s too soft, too sweet…too happy. But he can’t stop his growing obsession with her.

The human female who threatens his jaded heart…

House flipper Avery is no stranger to heartbreak, and knows that the ones you love most can stab you in the back the quickest. When she’s asked to shelter a bunch of dragon shifters, her instinct is to say no. Until she meets the ragtag group of males who are struggling to adjust to the new world. Against her better judgment, she agrees to take them in. Even if the gruff Mikael has heartbreak written all over him, she can’t help but fall for the sexy dragon a little more every day. But when a threat from her past emerges, promising to tear her world apart, things suddenly change between them. As they race against the clock to save her family, Mikael must risk everything and claim her before it’s too late.

Review:

 These Dragons are so hot how could any girl resist them? I have been thoroughly enjoying this newest spin-off series by Katie Reus, set in her amazing world of shifters, witches, vampires and much more. This series is focusing on the newly awakening Dragon-shifters that are becoming more and more important to the unstable and dangerous world that is recovering from a deadly attack. Mikael and his brothers came out of their millennia long hibernation just before the world imploded and decided to settle in New Orleans, and he found the woman that stole him heart and soul purely by luck.  Avery has worked her entire adult life to get over the betrayal of her father and the loss of her mother, raising her younger brothers and making a name for herself in the construction business.  Knowing about the supernatural world around her has made her an asset and given her a leg up many times, but when she is asked to house and host three newly awakened Dragon brothers she never imagined how much they would come to mean to her. I loved seeing the connection between Mikael and his Avery, even though he was so reticent about claiming her for so long, he was always there for her and made her brothers his own. HE was sweet, protective, strong, and will to do just about anything to protect her and when an ancient enemy comes back he is willing to forfeit just about anything to keep her safe and happy.  Avery has been hiding from any feelings for Mikael and determined to keep him in the friend-zone, but more and more he is becoming irresistible.  She finally allows herself to fall for him and then almost loses him, but no way will she let that happen. The heat between Avery and her dragon was beyond hot enough to burn New Orleans, but the sweetness showed that Mikael is more than just a quick fling. I loved seeing these two working together to kick butt against their enemies and protect their loved ones and friends, they truly were the perfect couple.  I am dying for the next story in the series and seeing which Dragon is featured next.  I see this series going for a good long time.  The perfect combination of heat and magic, Reus brings her characters to life and allows for the perfect escape.
