Ms. Spark's does it again in her newest novel about the Embraced. This novel was just as great as the two previous novels. I love how she builds each novel based off of the previous novel. She brings back the characters from the previous novels and keep developing the plot, answering questions, but creating more unresolved issues that the characters need to face.
Gwennore is an Elf with a talent of finding an illness and healing it. She feels very alone, since no one but her sisters accept her. She is brave and loyal, but wants to find people to love her for who she is. When a girl is kidnapped, Gwen is taken as well into the land of dragons where she meets General Silas Dravenko, Captain Gorgeous. Silas has many secrets, but wants to find a cure for the plague killing his people. I love how he teases Gwen. Silas is immediately attracted to Gwen, for when dragons love, they love with their whole heart. To keep Gwen safe, he tells his people she is his lover, which upsets Gwen. Still, Gwen agreed to help find a cure for the "curse" plaguing his people. Silas and Gwen work together to discover there is a deeper conspiracy that neither knew about. Silas and Gwen have many obstacles to overcome, those within the dragon kingdom, the Elves who want Gwen, and the evil that threatens all. Still, Gwen is afraid to love Silas, for who would accept her. She learns Silas has been keeping things from her, some for her own protection. Silas will do whatever is necessary to save his people, but he will not give up Gwen. Will Gen ans Silas discover the true reason behind the "curse" and prevent a war that someone seems bent on starting?
I cannot wait to read the next novel in the series!!

Eight simple rules for dating a dragon is the third book in the Embraced series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from cover to cover. I almost read it all in one seating but my eyes started blurring and my husband kept asking if I was going to turn off the light soon, so since it was 1 in the morning I figured I better finish it later.

I really liked how the relationship between Gwen and Silas developed over the course of the story and it wasn't a instant lust/love and wham, bam kinda thing. I enjoyed their banter and the chemistry they had together through out the book.
I am so happy that this actually has a plot/ story-line. The story flows well with action, mystery and romance, it also had some well place humorous moments through out. I also didn't read the first two books and I don't feel like I missed anything.
One point that i didn't care for is how Gwen was always concern about what other people thought about her and she tried to please everyone so they would like her.
There are some very interesting side characters that I hope will also get a story.
So overall this is a great fantasy/paranormal book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
I receive ARC copy for an honest review.

This is my first Kerrelyn Sparks book and I'm so glad I picked it up, it made me laugh while I was reading it, love the interaction between the 2 main characters, love how even though there was a romance grow between the two main characters it wasn't fast or slowly it was just right . Can't wait to read more of this series and see what happens, with that said I would love to think Netgalley for letting me find a new series that I want to continue on with as well as a new author.

Kerrelyn Sparks has done it again! The adventure and passion in Eight Simple Rules for Dating a Dragon soars beyond expectation. Falling for a Dragon can't be easy but when two great minds fall in love during dangerous times, it's sure to last.

Gwen was sent away when she was a baby because she was born on a special day. She was going to be blessed with special powers and was sent away to be kept safe. Gwen never new who her patents were.
Silas is a dragon shifter who is trying to Dave his people. His people believe in a curse that is hundreds of years old. One in the is able to conceive either, he's afraid they will just die out.
Gwen is a healer with the power to know what makes the person sick. After the two have an unfortunate meet, she decides to overcome her cowardice and try to help Silas and his people.
I liked this book from the beginning. It has an interesting story and not just sec like a lot of shifter books. I like that it's not a love at first she thing for Gwenore and Silas the dragon shifter. Who doesn't love a dragon shifter book? Half elf, half dragon is original. There is sixpence and action. The book has a good plot and is well written. The characters are likeable (mostly), and the story flow nicely from beginning to end. It does end with a bit of a cliffhanger, so I would expected Sorcha's next.
