I am loving this series and Sam & Ezra’s story is another great addition. From the imminent danger to the character interaction this was a real page turner. Ezra is a water Drakon and brother to Tarrant and Darius, Sam is his mate and this couple has been well matched. The melding and interaction of all the characters is well written and I look forward to reading more. I would recommend this series to lovers of this genre
Drakon's Plunder, N.J. Walters
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Genre: Romance,
First thing to say is that I didn't realise this was the third book in a series.
I was still able to follow the story, and the characters from the earlier books are referred to here, but not having read them didn't mean I lost the plot so to speak! They look interesting though so maybe a future read?
Anyway, Sam. I liked her. She'd had a tough time as an only child losing both parenst and regarded her mentor highly. He was killed, and having discovered it was a group called Knights of the Dragon, she wants vengeance.
They think she's a simple archaeologist, don't know of her talent for sensing powerful objects and she's keeping it that way. She's under no illusions about what type of people they are and what they plan for her, but she's out to stop them getting their hands on whatever is on the wreck. If they want it then its too powerful for them to have it is her thought, and she's out to stop them any way she can.
She's a great lead, strong and determined with a definite sense of whats morally right.
Then things go wrong, and she finds herself with a strange man, in a place that's unfamiliar. Slowly what happened comes back to her, but she doesn't know if she can trust him or if he belongs to the Knights group.
He's being very cagey which doesn't help, but that's because he doesn't know whether he can trust her. He's got a lot to hide, and a lot to lose if he gets it wrong.
I liked Ezra, hiding in plain sight, very close to his brothers and their mates, he's surprised at the possessiveness he feels for Sam. The Drakon's Tears...I loved that tough.
Between all that there's this sensual thread of arousal spinning between them....
Its a good read, a step up from the Human meets Shifter/Vampire/Supernatural of some sort that dominates the best sellers. Clearly readers love them, but I need a bit more story to my romance and this book delivers.
Its not as solid a story as a Mercy Thompson or Kate Daniels read, but it's an entertaining novel, in a series that sounds to build on each book with a stronger overall story. I do like those.
Stars: four, interesting and absorbing read with an unusual shifter type. Lots of sensual heat and spice too.

I really like this one I had not read the first 2 in the series but had no problem following the book and now I will go back to read the first 2 because I loved the characters and N.J. Walters writing is as alway fun to read.
Absolutely fabulous! Loved the whole series so far. Love the different brothers and all their talents. Really strong heroines. Great, fresh premise.
This is the third book and we once again jump into artifacts and history along with the pending danger from the Knights of the Dragon. All of the books so far have been page turners and this one was no exception. Ezra is brother to Tarrant and Darius. He is a water Drakon and of course his "treasure stash" is actual treasure. When he scoops a woman out of the sea, she is destined to become his treasure too.
Sam fits in well with the group already assembled. I loved where her inquisitive mind was taking us as it relates to Drakon kind and the need to settle down after 4000 years. I loved that she was geeky and less than perfect. There are still secrets to be revealed I think.
Just perfect! I will be sad to see the story end after Nic's book. Looking forward to more!
Ezra and Sam are a great addition to this series and I enjoyed their story. Now Sam wasn't my fav of the drakon mates we've met thus far but I'm holding out hope Nic gets one with spunk. If you are a lover of this series this won't disappoint although there is little plot development from the last to this one you are given a few nuggets to think on. If you haven't read this series yet I highly suggest you do as they have an interconnecting storyline and recurring characters.
