Sorin has been a captive ever since the dragons came and expelled the vampires from his family home. Sorin is young for a vampire, only twenty-five, so he knows nothing of the war between his kind and the dragons. His life has been turned upside down. At least his jailer is handsome. Lucian seems like an honorable man, but what are the chances he would ever want something with the enemy kept prisoner in the basement?
Lucian is a rock dragon, a powerful alpha in his clan, and he volunteered to watch over Sorin. After an attack that nearly cost him his life, he owes Sorin big. Sorin stayed behind and defended Lucian when he could have run away. For that, Lucian feels wholly responsible when Sorin is attacked.
A passionate night together leads to a misunderstanding that might leave them separated before they can discover the truth they both couldn't see.

I have so much feelings for this book I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.
Just kidding it's really because I got super invested in Sorin from the first two installments of this new series and I just wanted a happy ever after for him SO BAD. I was and still am here for Sorin. The poor guy was just so fragile and helpless in the first two books I just wanted to hug him and tell him everything would be okay. Thankfully Lucian was there to do just that - bless you Lucian. And can I just say, the sexual tension between the two of them could practically set ice on fire. IT MADE ME SO HAPPY.
Marcy Jacks is one of my favorite go-to authors when I want less lengthy reads where I can be assured I'll get a happy ever after (usually!). I think one of the reasons why I really like her is because she has this uncanny ability to get you super invested in different characters in her book and therefore ensure that you will buy and read the next one. Some might call her stories formulaic, but since I've read almost all her books (even the old ones because I'm a huge fan and I'll read anything she writes!), I can safely say that she never fails to add something unique to either the characters or the circumstances to make sure it's different. The situation is like this: I have a vague idea how the character will behave and I also have a vague idea how the story will end, but I get so invested in the characters it's basically a trap I willingly fall for everytime. In this the introduction of Sorin and Lucian really won me over and when the second book mentioned the little mishap that Sorin got involved in, I got totally hooked. The thing is, I wouldn't have cared so much except Lucian didn't get there in time to save Sorin when Sorin got in trouble. Actually lol Lucian it took you days to get there what the fuck do you have to say for yourself. And as a reader who's already so invested in Sorin's safety and happiness, how am I supposed to react? Of course I'll get his book and cry a little while I'm reading because Sorin deserves only the best.
I finished this book so fast I think it didn't take me an hour. The book itself is actually quite short, but I have no complaints about the pacing.There's predictably lots of sex, but there's also lots of feelings which more than made up for it. Also, Lucian's powerful words about anyone answering to him if they ever lay a finger on Sorin made me swoon. Legit read it three times because there is nothing hotter than a guy standing up for his boyfriend. Totally made my day.
I think the least I like about this book is the little epilogue featuring Lucian beating the crap out of Van. I know it would have been tedious describing the whole thing but I would have liked to see Van getting the daylights kicked out of him. Van keeps giving me asshole vibes even if he's somewhat justified in his anger. Somewhat. Also he hurt Sorin so he's automatically in my unofficial shitlist for this series.
Also I think it will be unsurprising to say that I will read the next book because Micah and Stefan are gonna be in it. I CALLED THAT SHIT IN THE FIRST BOOK.
*inhales deeply, calms down*
Also Taylor is gonna be super important later on I'm calling it now so I can later say I told you so.
Anyway before I get sidetracked again I just want to say I'm liking this series and I think it has a lot of potential. Sorin and Lucian's book is my favorite so far but I can tell there will be more interesting characters that will be introduced later. I recommend it because it's such a light read and it's so easy to get emotionally invested in the characters and their happiness and that makes the reading experience so much more fun.
The book is not without fault, but for its ability to invoke so much emotion? Five stars.
