Hope walks into a bar in Bombay and meets Aaron by accident. It's not a "Hi, how are ya?" type of meeting. He's drunk and stumbles into her. Being a dragon shifter, she knows from the instant that they touch that he's more than just a drunk in a bar.
Aaron lost his twin brother, Zayne, and is mourning. He can't seem to get a grip on life without him. He spends most of his time at the bar, drinking himself numb. But he is a Guardian of the City. He's a powerful being, but not as powerful as the Elysians.
The Elysians are some bad dudes. They get their emotions from empaths. Well, they're losing their empaths and therefore are losing their ability to feel. Zach, their leader, approaches the Council of Bombay and wants some volunteers to provide empath services (is that even a thing?). But a member of his own council has gone rogue and has kidnapped a dragon shifter in an effort to make her an empath. But the empath has to give willingly and that isn't happening.
Aaron and Hope combine their efforts to rescue the dragon shifter. It was pretty cool how it was determined if Aaron was going to be able to handle the job. It was quite a test *No Spoilers*
Meanwhile, Aaron and Hope are falling in love but they can't mate. If she mates with someone not of the dragon species, her mate will die. The psychic connection from a dragon is too much for a mate who isn't a dragon. Aaron isn't of the dragon species. He's an Ascendant. Besides Hope is already betrothed to Jason, a childhood friend.
I really liked this book. It was a well-written fantasy with characters that were well-defined, interesting, and easy to care about. Vance made me laugh. The plot was tight and it had plenty of action to keep me reading (I had it read in just a few hours). I loved how the author built up sexual tension between Hope and Aaron, but didn't make it smutty. It was done with class and finesse.
I have to say that Aaron tugged on my heartstrings with the way he was dealing with the loss of his brother and then not being able to make a life with Hope. Man, he had it rough! He really deserves a happily ever after.
This is the first book in a series, but has no cliffhangers and can be read as a standalone novel. But after reading this, I want to read the next one.
However, Hope couldn't let her feelings for Aaron go. But she was always taught that dragons could not mate with anyone but another dragon because the dragon's psychic shield was so powerful that it would kill anyone but another dragon. And Arron was still wrapped up in morning the death of his twin. Nevertheless they were drawn together to rescue a dragon that was kidnapped by the Elysian, Zachary Quant who needed shifters for the Sian web to replace the emotions of his species.
So when the dragon's started to get kidnapped Arron and Hope were sent to go bring them back. And so the dance between Arron and Hope begins. The dragon's and the council of Bombay unite to get rid of the threat of the Elysians, and everyone knows there is a connection between Aaron and Hope except them because she can't believe that she has found someone strong enough to handle her psychic bond.
It's a great story about love, belonging and strength. With a lot of action that keeps you riveted to the very end. Great story Laxmi.
The angst in this novel was so delicious and satisfying and full of pent-up sexual want that I was left sighing and loving every single minute of it. Aaron and Hope know that they are each other's mate, but both of them have reasons for denying this and ultimately hurting the other in their attempt to save themselves. Hope fears for Aaron's life as she doesn't want to be the cause of his death, while Aaron is not fully recovered from the death of his twin and not ready to relinquish his battered and bloody heart to Hope. But through all of the back-and-forth and half-hearted denials, there is a deep love and need and desire for more between Aaron and Hope that won't be ignored.
Overall, I really enjoyed this emotional, sexy, and fast-paced novel. There was truly never a dull or slow moment, and you can't help but bask in their passionate journey. Definitely recommend! :)

Hope doesn't like to follow the rules of her kind, and that's how she ends up in a shifter bar in Bombay. After the devastation of losing his twin, Aaron just wants to forget. When a new kind of enemy decides to show its face, the pair can't help but form a fragile alliance.
I adored Hope, she was strong and feisty even if she spent some of her time fighting what her dragon wanted. In fact she even ended up scoring between the woman and the dragon. Aaron was so broken, it just made you want to take care of him. Over the course of the story so many things occur to show Hope and Aaron that they are destined for each other, but Hope is determined to fight it at ever step.
I enjoyed the whole story and am really excited for book 2 to come out!
