Book 2 in the Cruentus Dragons series featuring Jonah, Janos' wingscion. Jonah has been searching for his mate for six months. He must find her or go mad with the agony of not having his mate.

Athena isn't exactly sure what's going on, but she doesn't want to be caught to find out what is happening. Her first meeting with Jonah wasn't good. She is sure that he hates her, despite the fact that he says she's his mate. Rather than be stuck to him for eternity, she runs, but now it might be safer with him.

Jonah's enemies are after her and besides that, his brand of lovemaking is exactly what she's looking for, but can she make the ultimate commitment?

This book is filled with erotic love scenes, which wouldn't be bad if there was room for a little more action than the kind between the sheets. I'd have like to see the secondary story explored more. Maybe if the author has other books planned there will be room for more of a developmental story between the dragons and their enemies.

Description:
For months, Jonah Genjhury has hunted Athena. Waiting. Planning. Dreaming. Finally, he finds his prickly runaway mate and he knows it’s time to claim her for the Cruentus clan—and himself. Athena, however, isn’t easy to convince. She fights a union with everything in her. Now he must convince his angry mate she’s his while an age-old battle with the Dragon enemies rages around them.

Athena Xanthopoulos isn’t having any of this “Dragon” business. They’re myths, and she certainly isn’t the mate of one of those flying, scaly, blood-sucking creatures. Okay, so he’s not scaly most of the time and he’s super hot, but that doesn’t mean she wants to spend eternity with him. Trouble is…she can’t stop wanting him.
