I love me some romance, but I would also be reading this for the dragons. Hmmm.... Maybe I should be going in with much lower expectations. <br />Sorry this one sucked for you. <br />Happy reading!<br />Brittany @ <a href="http://thisisthestoryofmyreadinglife.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow"> This is the Story of My(Reading) Life </a>BrittanyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10645210938042967995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-6043633190625971942015-01-16T05:31:30.387+00:002015-01-16T05:31:30.387+00:00The world building in this book was so freaking fl...The world building in this book was so freaking flimsy- especially how dragons were supposed to be all "emotionless", yet we have TWO dragons who exhibit some form of love...I mean, really??

I'm a little curmudgeonly when it comes to romance, so your review has me worried. Hope it works for me better than it did for you.
