BOOK REVIEW- THE DRAGON'S WOMAN (Keepers of Xereill) by Aix Nichols

Geru Gokk is a lethal dragon shifter. 
He’s handsome, charming, rich... 
and mad.

In those rare moments when he can think clearly, he loathes himself for the murders he abetted. Except, the victims survived, and they forgave him. But Geru’s foggy mind cannot fathom that. 

Nor can it see his best friend Lady Marye Atiz for who she really is—his dragon’s true mate. 

She’s the one who awakened his dormant power. The one he flies to at night, consumed by the need to hold her, to claim her. The one who loves him with all her heart. 

But when Geru is captured and turned into a weapon of war, Marye must risk everything to pierce the dragon’s madness. 

Will Geru find the clarity to fight for them and for all he holds dear before it’s too late? And will the ardor of their bond be their salvation or their undoing?   AMAZON 4 STARS


This book was intense, with evil still working their way through good people.  They aren't winning every battle but they sure manage to manipulate and try to control other people for their own good.  Power is one their main purposes.  But even in the midst of all this consuming lust for power there is also a love story.  

Marye has loved Geru since almost forever. She has the nickname of Bookworm for obvious reasons but she is also a woman of passion.  That is if she ever gets to show Geru that.  Geru has always regarded her a really good friend; one that he wouldn't do anything to hurt.  Besides, he has had his eye on another woman and  just hasn't seen Marye as a love interest.  Geru also has a lot of guilt to deal with because of his jealous actions getting his original love interest killed.  But there is also another couple of people who died because of his actions as well.  That all sits heavy on him.  

The world building in this book was excellent and included several different worlds and several different cultures.  

Just to let you know there will be some hot love scenes in the book.  And the book does have some interesting twists in.  Kept my interest. 
But I got to say I am so ready for the scumbags to go down!
On another note I just wanted to say that I don't read shapeshifters books any more.  But because I like this author's work, I read this one.  

"I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book.” And this is my honest opinion of it.
