ONE PROTECTORWhen dragon power flows through your veins, when dragon thoughts burn in your mind, you can accomplish anything. Natiya knows, for she carries one of the last eggs in the land disguised as a jewel in her navel. Day by day the Unhatched grows, and when at last it births they will be joined in a sacred and eternal bond. Gone will be the barmaid forced to dance for pennies; born will be Dag Natiya, revered Queen. Take her body or her soul, nothing will stop them.ONE SLAYERWhen dragon power flows through your veins, when dragon emotions trample your soul, you become a monster. So knows Kiril, for one destroyed his cousin. No matter how kind or joyful, all beings must succumb to the power of the wyrm. That is why Kiril vowed to destroy dragonkind–and he has almost succeeded. Only one egg remains. But there is an obstacle he did not foresee: love.
Those of you who love Jade Lee’s writing and have read this book may want to skip this review since it has been out for a couple of years now. The rest of you, listen up.
I discovered Jade Lee while attending the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention this spring. She and Anne Elizabeth were holding court for the RT Virgins to explain how to get the most out of the convention. She was the comedic half of the duo, and had us all in stitches.
Not only does she have a wicked sense of humor, she also has a wicked sharp writing style. I picked up a copy of Dragonborn, and at the first opportunity, I settled in, ready to be entertained. And I wasn’t disappointed.
Jade put a spin on this tale that turned my fantasy reading on its ear. The premise was fresh, the dialogue was sharp, and the story was compelling from start to finish. I hated to put it down.
Writing as Kathy Lyons and as Jade Lee, she has a slew of books that I can’t wait to read. I appreciate her eye for detail, her believable dialogue, and her ability to transport me to the world she has created.
To Jade’s many fans, you’ll have to forgive me for coming late to the party, but better late than never.

Mona received this book at RT.
Kitt is an avid reader of Urban Fantasy, Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Historical, Classics, Young Adult, and on the occasion she reads some Erotica to spice things up. Her entrance into the world of Paranormal started with Charlaine Harris's Stackhouse series. When not feeding her addiction she can be found slaving away cooking as a Sous Chef, watching movies and Anime, or out looking for trouble. She lives in Florida with her DB Deist and their two cats Salem and Dublin.
Another interesting one!
Sounds both fascinating and smexy!
Great review Mona! Thanks for sharing;-)
