REVIEW - The Protector (Fire's Edge #4) by Abigail Owen


The Book
Release Date: 7 December 2020

The cousin of the High King, Lyndi Chandali has lived with the constant threat of being pawned off as a political prize. A rare, female-born dragon like Lyndi can’t truly mate—not in the way it counts. Which is why she's kept her distance from a certain sinfully delicious Beta. Instead, she's built a life for herself giving orphaned dragons in the Americas a home.

As Beta of his team of enforcers, Levi Rowtag is a fighter first, last, and always. His job is to protect—his team, the shifters in his territory, and the stubborn woman hell-bent on fighting with him at every turn. He knows from the moment they first meet what she’ll never accept—they are destined to be mated.

But with the kings at war, the enemy is now coming for Lyndi. Worse, he’s coming for her orphans, too. He’ll have no choice but to defy his king and go rogue if he has any hope of protecting them all...and finally claiming his mate.

My Review    5 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing LLC, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

In the continuation of the series, although each book can be read as a stand alone book if you want, we get two characters who we have been introduced to from book one coming together as forces out of their control make them admit their feelings for each other.

Levi is the Beta of the team of enforcers and ever since he first met Lyndi 200 years ago when she arrived with her brother Drake, he has wanted her but always thought that she hated him.  He has always tried to protect her, even if it seemed like he was interfering or it seemed that he didn't trust her.

Lyndi has always wanted Levi, but she too thought that he hated her from the beginning and has always pushed him away, even if in her dreams she wants him.  She know however that if she even lets herself want him they will never be able to have children as natural female born dragons are sterile.  Something that pains her greatly, but she has her orphans and rogues who are her children.

Brand Asterot the Gold Clan King however calls all loyal Gold dragons home and this is a catalyst for our pair.  They have a week together before Levi has to leave.  But the Alaz leader puts a spanner in the works when he arrives and states that the Alliance have agreed that he can have Lyndi as a mate.

We see more of Deep, and other Enforcer members and their mates, we get to see another village of dragons which they help and an almighty fight that has them meeting a new friend and the loss of a member.

I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read Rune's story.
