Dragons. They huff and puff and burn the house down when they don't get their own way. They're possessive, dominating, and don't know the meaning of carefree because they're weighed down by all the treasure they feel compelled to guard. They're trouble but it doesn't change the fact that Marika has it bad for a certain silver-blond male named Xanthus whose dark, dark eyes have a lethal effect on her libido. She wants him, but she can't have him. Dragons don't share and she comes from a long line of tree-hugging, multi-partnered Drui. There are threesomes, foursomes -- and more. But there are no twosomes and she's already got one permanent man in her life, Tallis -- a shapeshifting Sjen who is every bit as dominant and possessive aas a dragon. It's a hopeless situation, or so it seems, until Fate intervenes and Marika decides to go for what she wants -- both Xanthus and Tallis in her bed.

Though I enjoyed reading this particular story, I felt there was too much for such a short story. I appreciate the author's attention to detail and her incorporation of the other characters from the series, but it was just too much. It was hard to follow soo many different characters as well as get to know the mains. I feel that so much explanation was required because of the supporting characters that the actual storyline was neglected. That said, I truly did enjoy reading it, though I had to go back several times. The passion was decidedly sexy and deliciously racey!
