BLURB:
What’s hotter than an alien with scales? An alien with wings and scales, not to mention a hot body.
At 457 Preor years old, Jarek sen Claron is a dragon ready for his final flight into the skies. This voyage to Earth as the War Master of the third fleet will be his final assignment. Once he has helped his fellow Preors secure human mates, he will return to Preor before the madness of loneliness overtakes his mind.
That all changes when he meets Melissa. Human Melissa with her sparkling eyes, bright smile, and body that would make any hot-blooded male drool. Unfortunately, she never registered as a Preor mate hopeful. No matter, the Knowing stretches between them and there is no way she can resist him. Until she does.
Jarek wishes to give her the choice to mate him, while everything inside him screams to take Melissa beneath his wing, now. No choosing necessary.
But should he draw her to his side when his enemies are circling? Many males do not believe the son of a Preor mass murderer deserves to have a mate. Can he survive the coming battles? Or will he die without tasting sweet Melissa’s lips?

Review
I loved this book!
Though, I would suggest you be familiar with the Ujal series to recognize the characters involved.
The men of Preor are a race of dragons (men who can shapeshift into dragons) and are trying to get an agreement to take Earth females as their mates. During a summit meeting between the Ujal and Preor people, the War Master (most decorated/strongest Preor warrior?) Jarek discovers his mate in the delegation of Ujal. Melissa is the official royal Ujal nanny.
I absolutely loved this book, from the beginning to the end. I loved how the Knowing swept over Melissa and Jarek. Heck, I loved the idea of <i> The Knowing</i>. It actually implants (for lack of a better word) the knowledge needed for a Preor couple to be successful i.e. Preor laws, their language, etc. What is most important is that it does NOT implant feelings [love]. It creates an environment where love can develop and I was all for that. These two needed time to themselves where they could get past their own personal hangups and dedicate themselves to each other. Melissa has family issues that make her a pariah in some Ujal company and Jarek has family issues that make him a pariah in ALL Preor company (regardless of his title).
Action.
Sadness.
Hate.
Desolation.
Tenderness.
Caring.
Attraction.
Tension.
Violence.
Politics.
Its all there and definitely worth reading.
