Aeron Grey overhears a transmission signaling the possible
invasion to the planet Qurilixen while at work for the Federation. When she reports her suspicions, her
superiors don’t want to get involved since Qurilixen is not part of the
Federation. Not one to take the possible
destruction of a planets’ population in stride she sets out with the help of
her sister to warn the Qurilixen people of the attack. Unfortunately the only
way they can find to get there is using the Galaxy Brides corporation where
they must sign a contract to become brides on that planet. Aeron doesn’t see this as a problem since she
doesn’t plan to stay there or be picked as a bride.
Lord Bronislaw, High Duke of Draig attends the Breeding
Festival for the seventh time, he has lost all hope that he will find a
bride. He is pleasantly shocked to
discover his bride in Aeron and sets out to make her his.
This is the 5th book in the Dragon Lords series
set in the same time frame as the previous four books. Bron is the cousin of the four princes and
his family is in charge of the breeding of animals, mining, and some
intergalactic travel. It has been a few
weeks since I read about the four princes so it was nice to go back to the
series. While this book is a nice
addition to the series, I felt there was something lacking in it. It’s not as long as the previous books and it
seems to end abruptly with many unanswered questions. You do get a brief epilogue where you know
that the rest of the story will be told in the other brothers books but it still
leaves Bron and Aeron’s story a little up in the air.
I was happy to see that this story took place (mostly) away
from the palace and if you don’t read the previous four books, you won’t be
lost. All the locations, building and
clothes were well described. I just wish there was a little more of just Bron
and Aeron. Their relationship was
sometimes put on the back burner so that the set up for the series could be
told. With that said I still really
enjoyed the story and I will be looking for the next one when it comes
out.
I'd consider reading this one. Even with its issues it sounds pretty good. I think I'd go back to book 1 though :-)

I have reviewed them all for this site and I really enjoyed them. I am now reading the series that follows this one.
