New Review! Rurik (Brothers of Ash and Fire) by Lauren Smith 5 Cranky Stars

Rurik by Lauren Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Cranky Stars


Rurik is the Barinov family battle dragon. He is tasked with upholding the family name should anyone try to challenge them. While yes Grigori and Mikhail are dragons and trained they don’t have Ruriks exact skill set. Rurik runs a series of nightclubs tailored more to fantasy and pleasure and doesn’t involve himself in any emotional entanglements. When a beautiful girl in a sexy red dress shows up at his club he is drawn to her and can’t stop the inevitable. There is a price on his head and this woman is involved.


Charlotte was just trying to prove her worth to her brothers. They run the Brotherhood that is tasked with policing magical beings. She lives a very solitary life as a biochemist when she is asked if she recreate a serum that will keep a dragon shifters dragon side at bay. She lies and sets off to Moscow. She didn’t think that simple recon would throw her into a turf war between dragons. Now she needs to prove herself to Rurik and prove that her feelings are so much more than what she intended to do.


I love this series plain and simple. When dragons love a mate it’s forever. Rurik desperately wanted to find love but thought it wasn’t for him. I felt bad for Charlotte having brothers like hers they were overbearing jerks. This story flowed nicely and while their love was almost instant it works for them. I would recommend this series to anyone who loves dragons, love, and steamy sexy times.
