I was delighted to find that Drakon's Promise was the start of a series becasue it was so good I cannot wait for more by this author. The two main characters were really well written and their story arc was well thought out and well written. I can't wait for the next book in this series. I am reviewing this book based on an ARC received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest opinion. ( )

Dragons do exist! I was almost afraid to read N J Walters new shifter book, Drakon's Promise[bc:Drakon's Promise|32867444|Drakon's Promise (Blood of the Drakon, #1)|N.J. Walters|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1478210456s/32867444.jpg|53473663] after reading so many awful books this past year from some of my favorite authors. I had no need to worry. Ms Walters has never failed to please me with her stories and Drakon is near perfection. My faith is restored.

Darius Varkus is everything you have every dreamed of in a hero. Well, everything I ever dreamed of. He is handsome, smart, and very seclusive in all aspects of his life. And he's a billionaire...as in a dragon with gold and silver mines, and jewels...because dragons gather precious items close and keep them safe. Darius has just discovered someone very precious.

Sarah Anderson is a brilliant research librarian who has found a mysterious book that will thrust her into a world she never could have imagined. When she meets Darius there is instant chemistry. What I love about her is that she is smart, perceptive, and has a very special gift that some very evil people are will to kill to possess.

I don't do spoilers...there are enough of those around. I just fell into this book and it played like a movie in my head. The book came alive, I fell in love with these characters, and I cared about what was happening to them.

The very best part, besides a HEA? Darius has brothers...three of them. They are just as handsome, smart, and rich as he is...and their stories are surely just waiting for the talented Ms. Walters to put pen to paper and create their HEA... I for one will be waiting.

I loved this book.

This is a great story. There are a few stutters, but I love that she included locations from other books. Strong, memorable characters. Character development takes place in the action of the story rather than in flashbacks or thought sequences, adding to the sequencing and suspense.

I can't wait for the rest of the series!!! ( )

I usually find that dragon books are hit or miss with me, but DRAKON'S PROMISE was a hit!

Sarah loves books, so the fact that she is a librarian works well for her. When she starts working on a library of rare books she never imagined that her life would change when she uncovers a rare book that belongs to an evil group. She risks a lot to contact a stranger she knows is in trouble to warn him. I found Sarah to incredibly caring and overall sweet. She stuck to what she thought was right even at expense to herself. Darius is a businessman that is ready to move on to his next adventure in life. He also happens to be a drakon in hiding. He is suspicious of Sarah from the moment he meets her, but also feels a need to protect her. I usually find that the alpha male type can be a dick at first, but I never felt that way about Darius. Darius and Sarah have a ton of chemistry. They have instant attraction and the bond starts to grow from the moment they meet, but there isn't insta-love which is nice. They work well together and I thought Sarah fit well within Darius' world.

DRAKON'S PROMISE was a great introduction to the Blood of the Drakon world and I am excited to see what will come next. I really liked Darius' brother, Tarrant, and it looks like his love interest is heading right for him and I'm sure things will get interesting. I plan to read more of this series and hope that book two will be out sooner rather than later.
